Menu button on the infotainment
system.
Symbols and Guidelines
The system may have a feature that
lets the driver view caution symbols
on the infotainment screen while
using the RVC. The Rear Parking
Assist (RPA) system must not be
disabled to use the caution symbols.
The error message Rear Parking Assist Symbols Unavailable may
display if RPA has been disabled
and the symbols have been
turned on.
The symbols appear and may cover
an object when viewing the
infotainment screen when an object
is detected by the RPA system.
The RVC system may have a
guideline overlay that can help the
driver align the vehicle when
backing into a parking spot.
To turn the symbols or guidelines on
or off:
1. Shift into P (Park).
2. Press the CONFIG button to enter the configure menu
options.
3. Select Display Settings.
4. Select Rear Camera Options.
5. Select Symbols or Guidelines. When a checkmark appears
next to the option, the feature
is on. Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
On vehicles with the RCTA, a
warning triangle with a left or right
pointing arrow may also display on
the RVC screen to warn of traffic
coming from the left or the right.
Three beeps will also sound. This
system detects objects coming from
up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left or
right side behind the vehicle. The
RCTA system will not work properly
if ice, snow, mud, or anything else
builds up on the rear bumper
sensors.
Use caution while backing up when
towing a trailer, as the RCTA
detection zones that extend out
from the back of your vehicle do not
move further back when a trailer is
towed.
On some vehicles, RCTA can be
turned on or off through the
infotainment system:
1. Shift into P (Park).
2. Press the CONFIG button to enter the configure menu
options.
