5. Pull the shoulder belt all the wayout of the retractor to set the
lock. When the retractor lock is
set, the belt can be tightened but
not pulled out of the retractor.6. To tighten the belt, push downon the child restraint, pull the
shoulder portion of the belt to
tighten the lap portion of the
belt, and feed the shoulder belt
back into the retractor. When
installing a forward-facing child
restraint, it may be helpful to use
your knee to push down on the
child restraint as you tighten
the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of the
retractor to make sure the
retractor is locked. If the
retractor is not locked, repeat
Steps 5 and 6. 7. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To check,
grasp the child restraint at the
seat belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and back
and forth. When the child
restraint is properly installed,
there should be no more than
2.5 cm (1 in) of movement.
If the airbags are off, the OFF
indicator in the passenger airbag
status indicator will come on and stay
on when the vehicle is started.
If a child restraint has been installed
and the ON indicator is lit, see “If the
On Indicator Is Lit for a Child
Restraint ”under Passenger Sensing
System 090.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt and let
it return to the stowed position.

view is active.
Park Assist
With RPA, and if equipped with FPA,
as the vehicle moves at speeds of less
than 8 km/h (5 mph) the sensors on
the bumpers may detect objects up to
2.5 m (8 ft) behind and 1.2 m (4 ft) in
front of the vehicle within a zone
25 cm (10 in) high off the ground and below bumper level. These detection
distances may be shorter during
warmer or humid weather. Blocked
sensors will not detect objects and
can also cause false detections. Keep
the sensors clean of mud, dirt, snow,
ice, and slush; and clean sensors after
a car wash in freezing temperatures.
{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 area around the
vehicle and check all mirrors before
moving forward or backing.

Rear Pedestrian Alert Indicator
When a pedestrian is detected within
the system’s range directly behind the
vehicle, this symbol flashes amber on
the infotainment display, along with
two beeps from the rear, or if
equipped, two pulses from both sides
of the driver seat. When a pedestrian
is detected close to the vehicle, the
symbol flashes red on the
infotainment display, along with seven
beeps from the rear, or if equipped,
seven pulses from both sides of the
driver seat.
{Warning
Rear Pedestrian Alert does not
automatically brake the vehicle.
It also does not provide an alert
unless it detects a pedestrian, and it
may not detect all pedestrians if: . The pedestrian is not directly
behind the vehicle, fully
visible to the Rear Vision
Camera (RVC), or standing
upright.
. The pedestrian is part of a
group.
. The pedestrian is a child.
. Visibility is poor, including
nighttime conditions, fog,
rain, or snow.
. The RVC is blocked by dirt,
snow, or ice.
. The RVC, taillamps,
or back-up lamps are not
cleaned or in proper working
condition.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.The vehicle is not in
R (Reverse).
To help avoid death or injury,
always check for pedestrians
around the vehicle before backing
up. Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0191. Keep the RVC,
taillamps, and back-up lamps clean
and in good repair.
Rear Pedestrian Alert can be set to Off
or Alert. See “Rear Pedestrian
Detection ”in “Collision/Detection
Systems” underVehicle Personalization
0 157. If equipped, alerts can be set to
beeps or seat pulses. See “Alert Type”
in “Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalization 0157.

266 DRIVING AND OPERATING
A system unavailable message may
display if:
.The front of the vehicle or
windshield is not clean.
. Heavy rain or snow is interfering
with object detection.
. There is a problem with the
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system.
The FAB system does not need
service.
Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System
If equipped, the FPB system may help
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes with nearby
pedestrians when driving in a forward
gear. FPB displays an amber
indicator,
~, when a nearby
pedestrian is detected directly ahead.
When approaching a detected
pedestrian too quickly, FPB provides a
red flashing alert on the windshield
and rapidly beeps or pulses the driver
seat. FPB can provide a boost to
braking or automatically brake the vehicle. This system includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA), and the
Forward Automatic Braking (FAB)
System may also respond to
pedestrians. See
Forward Automatic
Braking (FAB) 0264.
The FPB system can detect and alert
to pedestrians in a forward gear at
speeds between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). During daytime
driving, the system detects
pedestrians up to a distance of
approximately 40 m (131 ft). During
nighttime driving, system performance
is very limited. If the vehicle is
equipped with the Night Vision
system, during nighttime driving, the
vehicle can detect and alert to
pedestrians whenever in a
forward gear.{Warning
FPB does not provide an alert or
automatically brake the vehicle,
unless it detects a pedestrian. FPB
may not detect pedestrians,
including children: (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.When the pedestrian is not
directly ahead, fully visible,
or standing upright, or when
part of a group.
. Due to poor visibility,
including nighttime
conditions, fog, rain, or snow.
. If the FPB sensor is blocked
by dirt, snow, or ice.
. If the headlamps or
windshield are not cleaned or
in proper condition.
Be ready to take action and apply
the brakes. For more information,
see Defensive Driving 0191. Keep
the windshield, headlamps, and FPB
sensor clean and in good repair.
FPB can be set to Off, Alert, or Alert &
Brake through vehicle personalization.
See “Front Pedestrian Detection ”in
“Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalization 0157.

270 DRIVING AND OPERATING
{Warning
The Night Vision system does not
automatically brake the vehicle.
It does not provide alerts unless it
detects a pedestrian or large
animal. The system may not detect
pedestrians, including children,
or animals:. If they are less than 25 m
(82 ft) away.
. If they are not directly ahead
in the sensor coverage area,
fully visible, standing upright,
or part of a group.
. If the pedestrian or animal is
moving too quickly through
the field of view, such as a
bicyclist.
. If the pedestrian is wearing
certain types of clothing.
. If headlamps are off, except
when parked.
. If the outside temperature is
higher than 30 °C (86 °F).
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Due to poor visibility,
including in heavy fog, rain,
or snow.
. If the sensor is blocked by
dirt, snow, rain, or ice.
Be ready to take action and apply
the brakes. For more information,
see Defensive Driving 0191. Keep
the Night Vision sensor clean and
in good repair.
Pedestrian detection may not be
available in high outside temperatures.
An amber icon,
*, displays. The
system does not need service.
In rain, snow, or fog the image may
not be clear and the direction of the
road ahead may not be seen. In more
severe weather conditions, the image
may be unclear and unusable. The
system does not need service.
Keep the system sensor clean by
activating the Rear Camera Washer
when it is dark enough for the system
to operate. If the Night Vision image still looks blurry, use a soft wet cloth
to gently clean the sensor camera lens
and dry thoroughly. The sensor is
behind the front grille to the inside of
the driver side headlamp.
The camera must also be aligned to
work correctly. If the camera needs
adjustment, see your dealer. Do not
attempt to adjust the camera yourself.
Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers
with avoiding crashes that occur with
moving vehicles in the side blind zone
(or spot) areas. When the vehicle is in
a forward gear, the left or right side
mirror display will light up if a moving
vehicle is detected in that blind zone.
If the turn signal is activated and a
vehicle is also detected on the same
side, the display will flash as an extra
warning not to change lanes. Since
this system is part of the Lane Change
Alert (LCA) system, read the entire
LCA section before using this feature.
