Parking Assist
{Warning
.Always turn and look back
before backing up. The RPA
is not a substitute for proper
backing procedures.
. Read and understand the
limitations of the rear
parking assist system as
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
contained in this section.
Inclement weather may
affect the function of the
RPA; this may include
reduced performance or a
false activation.
. This system is not designed
to prevent contact with small
or moving objects.
. The system is designed as
a aid to the driver in
detecting large stationary
objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle. The
system will not detect small
objects below the bumper,
and may not detect objects
close to the bumper or on
the ground.
. If your vehicle sustains
damage to the rear bumper
fascia, leaving it misaligned
or bent, the sensing zone
may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alarms. If equipped, the Rear Parking Assist
(RPA) sounds a tone to warn the
driver of obstacles near the rear
bumper when the shift lever is in
R (Reverse). The system may not
detect objects at speeds above
5 km/h (3 mph) and may not detect
certain angular or moving objects.
The RPA detects objects up to 1.8 m
(5.9 ft) from the rear bumper with a
decreased coverage area at the
outer corners of the bumper. As you
move closer to the obstacle, the rate
of the tone increases. When the
obstacle is less than 25 cm (10 in)
away, the tone will sound
continuously. If the RPA detects a
stationary or receding object further
than 25 cm (10 in) from the side of
the vehicle, the tone will sound for
only three seconds. Once the
system detects an object
approaching, the tone will sound
again.
The RPA automatically turns on
when the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse) and the ignition switch
is in ON. The RPA OFF switch on
the instrument panel allows the
