SEAT REMINDER LOOK IN REAR
SEAT displays under certain
conditions indicating there may be
an item or passenger in the rear
seat. Check before exiting the
vehicle.
This feature will activate when a
second row door is opened while
the vehicle is on or up to 10 minutes
before the vehicle is turned on.
There will be an alert when the
vehicle is turned off. The alert does
not directly detect objects in the rear
seat; instead, under certain
conditions, it detects when a rear
door is opened and closed,
indicating that there may be
something in the rear seat.
The feature is active only once each
time the vehicle is turned on and off,
and will require reactivation by
opening and closing the second row
doors. There may be an alert even
when there is nothing in the rear
seat; for example, if a child entered the vehicle through the rear door
and left the vehicle without the
vehicle being shut off.
The feature can be turned on or off.
See
Vehicle Personalization 0130.

Caution
Folding a rear seat with the seat
belts still fastened may cause
damage to the seat or the seat
belts. Always unbuckle the seat
belts and return them to their
normal stowed position before
folding a rear seat.

When the System Does Not
Seem To Work Properly
The RVC may not work properly or
display a clear image if:
. It is dark.
. The sun or the beam of
headlamps is shining directly
into the camera lens.
. Ice, snow, mud, or anything else
builds up on the camera lens.
Clean the lens, rinse it with
water, and wipe it with a soft
cloth.
. The back of the vehicle is in a
crash. The position and
mounting angle of the camera
can change or the camera can
be affected. Be sure to have the
camera and its position and
mounting angle checked at your
dealer.
. There are extreme temperature
changes.
Park Assist
If equipped, the Front and Rear
Park Assist (FRPA) system assists
you with parking and avoiding
objects. FRPA operates at speeds
less than 8 km/h (5 mph). The
sensors on the front and rear
bumper detect objects up to 1.2 m
(4 ft) in front of the vehicle, 2.5 m
(8 ft) behind the vehicle, and at least
25 cm (10 in) off the ground and
below liftgate level. This detection
distance may be less during warmer
or humid weather.
{Warning
The Park Assist system does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or that
are too close or too far from the
vehicle. It is not available at
speeds greater than 8 km/h
(5 mph). To prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with
Park Assist, always check the
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
area around the vehicle and
check all mirrors before moving
forward or backing.
How the System Works
When the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse) the front and rear
sensors are automatically turned on.
After the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), the rear sensors are
turned off and the front sensors stay
on until the vehicle is above a
speed of 8 km/h (5 mph). For the
front Park Assist system to be active
again without shifting into
R (Reverse),
Xmust be pressed.
See “Turning the System On and
Off” later in this section.
When the vehicle is in N (Neutral),
the system may be active. If the
vehicle is in a car wash, the sensors
may detect objects in the car wash.
See “Turning the System On and
Off” later in this section to turn the
system off.

190 Driving and Operating
When an object is first detected in
the rear, one beep will be heard
from the rear. When an object is
very close (<0.6 m (2 ft) in the
vehicle rear or <0.3 m (1 ft) in the
vehicle front), five beeps will sound
from the front or rear depending on
object location. Beeps for FPA are
higher pitched than for RPA.
Objects Detected by Both the
Front and Rear Sensors
In general, if objects are detected at
the same time near both the front
and rear bumpers while backing up,
the beeps only sound to indicate
that objects are close to the rear
bumper.
However, if an object comes within
0.3 m (1 ft) of the front bumper while
the vehicle is backing up and at the
same time there is another object
further than 0.3 m (1 ft) from the rear
bumper, then higher-pitched beeps
only sound to indicate the front
object.Turning the System On and Off
The FRPA system can be turned on
and off by pressing
Xon the
center stack.
The indicator light in the button
comes on when the system is
turned on.
When the system is off, the indicator
light in the button is off or PARK
ASSIST OFF briefly displays on the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
FRPA defaults to the on setting
each time the vehicle is started.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
If the FRPA system does not
activate due to a temporary
condition, a message may display
on the DIC. This can occur under
the following conditions:
. The driver has disabled the
system. .
The sensors are not clean. Keep
the vehicle's bumpers free of
mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush.
For cleaning instructions, see
Exterior Care 0270.
. The Park Assist sensors are
covered by frost or ice. Frost or
ice can form around and behind
the sensors and may not always
be seen; this can occur after
washing the vehicle in cold
weather. The message may not
clear until the frost or ice has
melted.
. An object was hanging out of the
liftgate during the last drive
cycle. Once the object is
removed, FRPA will return to
normal operation.
. An object or cover is attached to
the front of the vehicle.
. The bumper is damaged. Take
the vehicle to your dealer to
repair the system.
