PARKING AID (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury, please
read and understand the limitations of
the system as contained in this section.
Sensing is only an aid for some (generally
large and fixed) objects when moving on a
flat surface at parking speeds. Certain objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves,
traffic control systems, fluorescent lamps,
inclement weather, air brakes, and external
motors and fans may also affect the function
of the sensing system; this may include
reduced performance or a false activation. To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in reverse (R) and
when using the sensing system.
This system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
The system is designed to provide a
warning to assist the driver in detecting large
stationary objects to avoid damaging the
vehicle. The system may not detect smaller
objects, particularly those close to the
ground. WARNINGS
Certain add-on devices such as large
trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks
and any device that may block the
normal detection zone of the system, may
create false beeps. Note:
Keep the sensors, located on the
bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and large
accumulations of dirt. If the sensors are
covered, the system ’s accuracy can be
affected. Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent,
the sensing zone may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false
alarms.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with
MyKey ™, it is possible to prevent turning the
sensing system off. See
MyKey ™ (page 50).
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of the
bumper area. The system turns on
automatically whenever you switch the
ignition on. When receiving a detection warning, the radio
volume reduces to a predetermined level.
After the warning goes away, the radio
volume returns to the previous level.
You can switch the system off through the
information display menu or from the pop-up
message that appears once you shift the
transmission into reverse (R). If your vehicle
is equipped with a front sensing system, you
can switch the system off using the parking
aid switch. See General Information (page
88
).
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information display
and you cannot switch the system on through
the pop-up message or parking aid switch.
See
Information Messages (page 94).
Rear Sensing System
The rear sensors are only active when the
transmission is in reverse (R). As the vehicle
moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the
audible warning increases. When the
obstacle is less than
12 in (30 cm) away, the
warning sounds continuously. If the system
detects a stationary or receding object farther
than
12 in (30 cm) from the side of the
vehicle, the tone sounds for only three
seconds. Once the system detects an object
approaching, the warning sounds again.

Overriding Adaptive Cruise Control
WARNING
Whenever the driver is overriding the
system by pressing the accelerator
pedal, the system will not
automatically apply the brakes to maintain
separation from any vehicle ahead. You can override the set speed and gap
distance by pressing the accelerator pedal.
When you override the system, the
green indicator light illuminates
and the lead vehicle graphic does
not show in the information
display.
The system will resume operation when you
release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle
speed will decrease to the set speed, or a
lower speed if following a slower vehicle. Changing the Set Speed
•
Accelerate or brake to the desired speed,
then press SET upward and release.
• Increase or decrease the speed by holding
SET
upward or downward SET until the
desired set speed shows on the
information display. The vehicle speed
will gradually change to the selected
speed.
• Increase or decrease the speed in
increments of 1 mph (2km/h) by briefly
pressing
SET upward or downward.
The system may apply the brakes to slow
your vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed will display continuously in the
information display while the system is
active.
Resuming the Set Speed
Note: Only use resume if you are aware of the
set speed and intend to return to it.
Press and release RES. The vehicle will return
to the previously set speed. The set speed
will display continuously in the information
display while the system is active. Low Speed Automatic Cancellation
The system is not functional at vehicle
speeds below 16 mph (26 km/h). An audible
alarm will sound and the automatic braking
releases if the vehicle drops below this speed.
Hilly Condition Usage
Note:
An audible alarm will sound and the
system will shut down if it is applying brakes
for an extended period of time. This allows the
brakes to cool down. The system will function
normally again when the brakes have cooled
down.
You should select a lower gear position when
the system is active in situations such as
prolonged downhill driving on steep grades,
for example in mountainous areas. The
system needs additional engine braking in
these situations to reduce the load on the
vehicle ’s regular brake system to prevent
them from overheating.
Switching the System Off
Note: The set speed memory erases when
you switch off the system.
Press and release OFF or turn off the ignition.
