Active Park Assist Troubleshooting Possible Cause
Symptom
You may have switched traction control off.
The system does not search for
a parking space.
The transmission is in reverse (R). Your vehicle must
be moving forward to be able to detect a parking space.
The sensors may be blocked. For example, snow, ice
or large accumulations of dirt. Blocked sensors can
affect how the system functions.
The system does not offer a
parking space.
The sensors in the front or rear bumper could be
damaged.
There is not enough room in the parking space for your
vehicle to safely park.
There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on
the opposite side of the parking space.
The parking space is more than
5 ft (1.5 m) or less than
2 ft (0.5 m) away.

WARNING: Reverse your vehicle
slowly. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
Use caution when the
rear cargo door is ajar. If the rear cargo
door is ajar, the camera will be out of
position and the video image could be
incorrect. All guide lines disappear when
the rear cargo door is ajar. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury. WARNING:
Use caution when
turning camera features on or off when
the transmission is not in park (P). Make
sure your vehicle is not moving. WARNING:
To help avoid personal
injury always use caution when in reverse
(R) and when using the rear view
camera.
The rear view camera provides an image
of the area behind your vehicle. During
operation, lines appear in the display that
represents the path of your vehicle and
proximity to objects behind it. Rear View Camera Locations
The rear view camera is below the central
high mounted stop lamp or on the rear
cargo door.
Using the Rear View Camera
The rear view camera system displays
what is behind your vehicle when you shift
the transmission into reverse (R).
Note:
The reverse sensing system is not
effective at speeds above
3 mph (5 km/h)
and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.

The system uses three types of guidelines
to help you see what is behind your vehicle:
•
Active guidelines show the intended
path of your vehicle when reversing.
• The centerline helps align the center
of your vehicle with a trailer.
• Fixed guidelenes show the actual path
of your vehicle when reversing in a
straight line.This can be helpful when
backing into a parking space or aligning
your vehicle with another object.
Active guidelines are only available with
fixed guidelines. To use active guidelines,
turn the steering wheel to point the
guidelines toward an intended path. If you
change the steering wheel position when
driving in reverse (R), your vehicle might
deviate from the original intended path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in and
out depending on the steering wheel
position. When the steering wheel position
is straight the active guidelines are not
visible. Objects in the red zone are closest
to your vehicle and objects in the green
zone are further from your vehicle.
Note: Guidelines are only available when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
System Settings
You can adjust the camera settings using
the vehicle settings menu. See Settings

Manual Zoom WARNING:
When manual zoom is
on, the full area behind your vehicle may
not show. Be aware of your surroundings
when using the manual zoom feature.
Manual zoom is only available when you
shift the transmission into reverse (R). Selectable settings for this feature are
Zoom in (+) and Zoom Out (-). Press the
symbol in the camera screen to change the

(If Equipped)
WARNING: Objects that are close
to either corner of the bumper or under
the bumper, might not be seen on the
screen due to the limited coverage of the
camera system. WARNING:
Use caution when
turning camera features on or off when
the transmission is not in park (P). Make
sure your vehicle is not moving. WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.
Note: Use caution using the 180 view when
any of the doors are ajar. If a door is ajar, the
camera will be out of position and the video
image may be incorrect.
Front View Camera WARNING:
The front camera
system still requires the driver to use it
in conjunction with looking out of your
vehicle.
Note: The system turns off the front video
image when your vehicle is in motion at low
speed, except when in reverse (R).
Note: The area displayed on the screen may
vary according to your vehicle's orientation
or road condition.
Note: The camera system may not operate
correctly if mud, water or debris obstructs
the camera's view. You can clean the lens
with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive
cleaner or by using your front washer.
See
Wipers and Washers (page 98). The front view camera is located in the
grille. It provides a video image of the area
in front of your vehicle. It adds assistance
to the driver while driving forward at low
speeds.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Cruise control lets you maintain a set
speed without keeping your foot on the
accelerator pedal. You can use cruise
control when your vehicle speed is greater
than 20 mph (30 km/h).
USING CRUISE CONTROL WARNING:
Do not use cruise
control on winding roads, in heavy traffic
or when the road surface is slippery. This
could result in loss of vehicle control,
serious injury or death. WARNING:
When you are going
downhill, your vehicle speed could
increase above the set speed. The
system does not apply the brakes.
The cruise controls are on the steering
wheel.
Switching Cruise Control On Press the button.
Switching Cruise Control Off Press the button when the
system is in standby mode. The
system also turns off when you
switch the ignition off.
Note: The set speed erases when you
switch the system off.
Setting the Cruise Speed
Drive to the required speed. Press the toggle button upward
or downward to set the current
speed.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Note: The set speed appears in the
information display.
Changing the Set Speed Press the toggle button upward
to increase the set speed.
Press the toggle button
downward to decrease the set
speed.
You can adjust the set speed in small or
large increments. Press the toggle button
upward or downward once to adjust the
set speed in small increments. Press and
hold the toggle button upward or
downward to adjust the set speed in large
increments.
Note: If you accelerate by pressing the

Press the toggle button upward
to set the current speed.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
The indicator, current gap setting and set
speed appear in the information display. A vehicle graphic appears in the
information display if the system detects
a vehicle in front of you.
Note:
When adaptive cruise control is
active, the speedometer may vary slightly
from the set speed displayed in the
information display. Following a Vehicle WARNING: When following a
vehicle that is braking, your vehicle does
not always decelerate quickly enough to
avoid a crash without driver intervention.
Apply the brakes when necessary. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system only warns
of vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning
or a delayed warning. Apply the brakes
when necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in
the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts
to maintain a preset gap distance. A
vehicle graphic appears in the information
display.
Note: When you are following a vehicle and
you switch on a direction indicator, adaptive
cruise control may provide a small
temporary acceleration to help you pass.
Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap
from the vehicle ahead until:
• The vehicle in front of you accelerates
to a speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle in front of you moves out
of the lane you are in.
• You set a new gap distance.
The system applies the brakes to slow your
vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance
from the vehicle in front. The system only
applies limited braking. You can override
the system by applying the brakes.
If the system determines that its maximum
braking level is not sufficient, an audible
warning sounds when the system
continues to brake. Take immediate action.
