Coverage area of up to 28 in (70 cm) from
the front bumper. The coverage area
decreases at the outer corners.
When your vehicle approaches an object, a
warning tone sounds. When your vehicle
moves closer to an object, the warning tone
repeat rate increases. The warning tone
sounds continuously when an object is 12 in
(30 cm)
or less from the front bumper. 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).
See General
Information (page 114). If your vehicle has a
parking aid button, you can switch the
system off by pressing the button.
Obstacle Distance Indicator
(If Equipped)
The system provides obstacle distance
indication through the information display.
The indicator displays:
• As the distance to the obstacle
decreases the indicator blocks illuminate
and move towards the vehicle icon.
• If there is no obstacle detected, the
distance indicator blocks are grayed out.
If the transmission is in reverse (R), the front
sensing system provides audio warnings
when your vehicle is moving and the
detected obstacle is moving towards your
vehicle. Once the vehicle is stationary, the
audio warning will be stopped after 2
seconds. Visual indication is always present
in reverse (R). If the transmission is in drive (D) or any other
forward gear (for example, low (L), sport (S)
or any forward gear in a manual
transmission), the front sensing system
provides audio and visual warnings when
your vehicle is moving below a speed of
7 mph (12 km/h)
and an obstacle is located
inside the detection area. Once the vehicle
is stationary, the audio warning will be
stopped after 2 seconds and the visual
indication stops after 4 seconds. If the
obstacles detected are within
12 in (30 cm),
the visual indication remains on.
If the transmission is in neutral (N), the
system provides visual indication only when
your vehicle is moving at 7 mph (12 km/h) or
below and an obstacle is located inside the
detection area. Once your vehicle is
stationary, the visual indication will stop after
4 seconds.

SIDE SENSING SYSTEM
The side sensing system uses the front and
rear side sensors to detect and map
obstacles that are near to the sides of your
vehicle. The side sensors are active when
the transmission is in any position other than
park (P).
Note:
Obstacles that enter the side detection
area without being detected and mapped
by the front or rear side sensors will not be
detected. Coverage area is up to 24 in (60 cm) from
the sides of your vehicle. As your vehicle moves closer to the obstacle,
the rate of the audible warning increases.
The rate of the audible warning varies
depending on whether the obstacle is inside
or outside the driving path of your vehicle.
Additionally, the system provides obstacle
distance indication through the center stack
display (if equipped).
•
As the distance to the obstacle
decreases (obstacle becomes closer),
the indicator blocks illuminate and move
towards the vehicle icon.
• If there is no obstacle detected, the
distance indicator blocks show grayed
out. Obstacle Distance Indicator

When you shift to reverse (R), the side
sensing system provides audible warnings
when your vehicle is moving and obstacles
are detected within 6 in (15 cm) or when
obstacles are detected within 6–24 in
(15–60 cm) and are inside the driving path
of your vehicle. Once your vehicle reaches
a standstill condition, the audible warning
stops after 2 seconds. Visual indication is
always present in reverse (R).
When you shift to drive (D) or any other
forward gear, for example, low (L), sport (S)
or any forward gear in manual transmission,
the side sensing system provides audible
and visual warnings when your vehicle is
moving below a speed of
7 mph (12 km/h)
and obstacles are detected within 6 in
(15 cm) or when obstacles are detected
within 6–24 in (15–60 cm) and are inside the
driving path of your vehicle. Once your
vehicle reaches a standstill condition, the
audible warning stops after 2 seconds and
visual indication stops after 4 seconds. If the
obstacles detected are within
6 in (15 cm),
the visual indication remains on. If the transmission is in neutral (N), the side
sensing system provides visual indication
(not audible) only when your vehicle is
moving below a speed of
7 mph (12 km/h)
and obstacles are detected within 6 in
(15 cm). Once your vehicle reaches a
standstill condition, the visual indication
stops after 4 seconds.
If the side sensing system is not available,
the side distance indicator blocks are not
present.
The side sensing system is not available
under the following condition:
• If you switch the traction control system
off.
• After a key cycle, side sensing is not
available until your vehicle travels the
length of your vehicle in order for the
system to initialize. •
If your vehicle is in a standstill condition
for over 2 minutes, side sensing is not
available until your vehicle travels the
length of your vehicle in order for the
system to reinitialize.
• During an ABS or traction control event,
side sensing disables and is not available
until your vehicle travels the length of
your vehicle in order for the system to
reinitialize.

Note:
You should drive your vehicle within
5 ft (1.5 m) and as parallel as possible to the
other vehicles while passing a parking
space.
Note: The system always offers the last
detected parking space (for example, if your
vehicle detects multiple spaces while you
are driving, it offers the last one). Note:
If driven above approximately 22 mph
(35 km/h), the system shows a message to
alert you to reduce your vehicle speed.
Automatic Steering into Parking Space

approximately
6 mph (10 km/h) or the
maneuver is interrupted (driver input), the
system switches off and you need to take
full control of your vehicle. When you shift the transmission into reverse
(R), with your hands off the wheel (and
nothing obstructing its movement), your
vehicle steers itself into the space. The
system displays instructions to move your
vehicle back and forth in the space.When you think your vehicle is properly
parked, or you hear a solid tone from the
parking aid (accompanied by a display
message and a chime), bring your vehicle to
a complete stop.
When automatic steering is complete, the
system displays a message and a tone
sounds, indicating that the active park assist
process is finished. You are responsible for
checking the parking job and making any
necessary corrections before leaving your
vehicle.Using Active Park Assist - Perpendicular
Parking Press the active park assist button
