22 IN BRIEF
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) System
If equipped, the RCTA system shows a
triangle with an arrow on the
infotainment display to warn of traffic
behind your vehicle that may cross
your vehicle's path while in
R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will
sound, or the driver seat will pulse.
SeeAssistance Systems for Parking or
Backing 0237.
Park Assist
If equipped, Front and Rear Park
Assist (FRPA) uses sensors on the
front and rear bumpers to assist with
parking and avoiding objects during
low speed parking maneuvers.
It operates at speeds less than 8 km/h
(5 mph). FRPA may display a warning
triangle on the infotainment display
and a graphic on the instrument
cluster to provide the object distance.
In addition, multiple beeps or seat
pulses may occur if very close to an
object. The vehicle may also have a higher
speed Backing Warning System and
the Reverse Automatic Braking
system.
See
Driver Assistance Systems 0236.
Automatic Parking
Assist (APA)
If equipped, the APA system helps to
search for and maneuver the vehicle
into parallel or perpendicular parking
spots using automatic steering,
displays, and beeps. When the vehicle
speed is below 30 km/h (18 mph),
touch
Oto enable the system.
See “Automatic Parking Assist (APA)”
under Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0237.
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) it also has the RAB
system, which is designed to help
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
backing crashes when the vehicle is
shifted into R (Reverse). If the system detects the vehicle is backing too fast
to avoid a crash with a detected object
behind your vehicle in your path, it
may automatically brake hard to
a stop.
See
Assistance Systems for Parking or
Backing 0237.

Performance and
Maintenance
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control
The vehicle has a Traction Control
System (TCS) that limits wheel spin
and the StabiliTrak system that assists
with directional control of the vehicle
in difficult driving conditions. Both
systems come on automatically when
the vehicle is started and begins
to move.
.To turn off TCS, press and release
gon the center stack. The
traction off light
idisplays in the
instrument cluster. The
appropriate Driver Information
Center (DIC) message displays.
. To turn off both TCS and
StabiliTrak, press and hold
guntil
iandgilluminate in the
instrument cluster and the
appropriate DIC message displays.
. Press and release
gagain to turn
on both systems. StabiliTrak will automatically turn on
if the vehicle exceeds 56 km/h
(35 mph). Traction control will
remain off.
See
Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0221.
Tire Pressure Monitor
This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS).
The low tire pressure warning light
alerts to a significant loss in pressure
of one of the vehicle's tires. If the
warning light comes on, stop as soon
as possible and inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label.
See Vehicle Load Limits 0196. The
warning light will remain on until the
tire pressure is corrected. The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
may be an early indicator that the tire
pressures are getting low and the tires
need to be inflated to the proper
pressure.
The TPMS does not replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. Maintain
the correct tire pressures.
See
Tire Pressure Monitor System
0 319.
Tire Fill Alert (If Equipped)
This feature provides visual and
audible alerts outside the vehicle to
help when inflating an underinflated
tire to the recommended cold tire
pressure. See “Tire Fill Alert (If
Equipped)” underTire Pressure Monitor
Operation 0320.

50 KEYS, DOORS, AND WINDOWS
The power sounder provides an
audible alarm which is distinct from
the vehicle’s horn. It has its own
power source, and can sound an alarm
if the vehicle’s battery is
compromised.
The inclination sensor can set off the
alarm if it senses movement of the
vehicle, such as a change in vehicle
orientation.
The intrusion sensor monitors the
vehicle interior, and can activate the
alarm if it senses unauthorized entry
into the vehicle’s interior. Do not
allow passengers or pets to remain in
the vehicle when the intrusion sensor
is activated.
Before arming the theft-deterrent
system and activating the intrusion
sensor:
.Make sure all doors and windows
are completely closed.
. Secure any loose items such as
sunshades.
. Make sure there are no
obstructions blocking the sensors
in the front overhead console. .
