In addition to the standard
theft-deterrent system features, this
system may also have a power
sounder, inclination sensor, and
intrusion sensor.
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 when a tire is
removed. Make sure the vehicle's
alarm is not armed prior to any
jacking.
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 sun
glasses.
.Make sure there are no obstructions
blocking the sensors in the front
overhead console.
.Close DVD screens before leaving
the vehicle.

DRIVING AND OPERATING 281
PARK ASSIST OFF :If the PA system
does not activate due to a temporary
condition, the appropriate message
displays on the DIC. PA OFF message
is displayed when disabled by the
driver. Front/Rear PA OFF message is
displayed when an attached object is
detected in the front or rear
respectively. PA Temporarily
Unavailable message is displayed for
system failures. This can occur under
the following conditions:
.The driver has disabled the system.
.An object was hanging out of the
trunk during the last drive cycle.
Once the object is removed, RPA
will return to normal operation.
.The bumper is damaged. Take the
vehicle to your dealer to repair the
system.
.Other conditions, such as vibrations
from a jackhammer or the
compression of air brakes on a very
large truck, are affecting system
performance. Backing Warning and Reverse
Automatic Braking
Vehicles with Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) have the Backing Warning
System and Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB) system. The Backing
Warning part of this system can warn
of rear objects when backing up at
speeds greater than 8 km/h (5 mph),
and RAB may automatically brake
hard at speeds between 1–32 km/h
(0.5–20 mph).
The Backing Warning System will
beep once from the rear when an
object is first detected, or pulse twice
on both sides of the Safety Alert Seat.
When the system detects a potential
crash, beeps will be heard from the
rear, or five pulses will be felt on both
sides of the Safety Alert Seat. There
may also be a brief, sharp application
of the brakes.
{Warning
The Backing Warning System only
operates at speeds greater than
8 km/h (5 mph). It does not detect
children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
animals, or objects below the
bumper or that are too close or too
far from the vehicle. In some
situations, such as at higher
backing speeds, there may not be
enough time for the short, sharp
application of the vehicle brake
system to occur. To prevent injury,
death, or vehicle damage, even with
the Backing Warning System,
always check the area around the
vehicle and check all mirrors before
backing.
When the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and
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 to help avoid or
reduce the harm caused by a backing
crash.
