Operating conditions
Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist system enters the ready status,
when ‘Active Assist’ or ‘Warning Only’ is
selected in the AVN system screen and
the following conditions are satisfied:
• The trunk is closed
• The shift lever is in R (Reverse)
• Vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)
• System components such as the rear view camera and the rear ultrasonic
sensors are in normal conditions
The driver needs to select ‘Active Assist’
on the LCD display or infotainment
system display for collision-avoidance
assist.
The solid lines behind the vehicle in the
cluster LCD display indicates that the
system is ready to assist the driver.
Note that the system assists the driver
only once. The driver has to shift the gear
to R (Reverse) from another gear position
to reactivate the system.
The performance of Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist system may
vary under certain conditions. If the
vehicle speed exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h),
the system can assist only pedestrian
collision avoidance.
As always, be careful when backing
up your vehicle and be aware of your
surroundings.
