Front Parking Aid Limitations
The front parking aid sensors are active
when your vehicle is in any position other
than park (P) and the vehicle speed is less
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
The sensor coverage area is up to
28 in
(70 cm) from the bumper.
If your vehicle is in reverse (R), the front
parking aid detects objects when your
vehicle is moving at a low speed or an
object is moving toward your vehicle and
provides an audio warning, for example
another vehicle at a low speed. Once your
vehicle reaches a stop, the audio warning
stops after a few seconds. Visual indication
is always active in reverse (R).
If your vehicle is in any forward gear, the
front parking aid provides audible warnings
and visual indication when your vehicle is
moving at a speed of
5 mph (8 km/h) or
below and the system detects an object
within the detection zone. Once your
vehicle reaches a stop, the visual indication
and audio warning stops after a few
seconds.
If your vehicle is in neutral (N), the front
and rear sensors provide visual indication
only when your vehicle is moving below a
speed of
5 mph (8 km/h) and obstacles
are detected inside the detection areas.
Once your vehicle stops, the visual
indication and audio warning stops after
a few seconds. Locating the Front Parking Aid
Sensors The front parking aid sensors are in the
front bumper.
Front Parking Aid Audible
Warnings
A warning tone sounds when there is an
object within
28 in (70 cm) from the front
bumper. As your vehicle moves closer to
an object, the rate of the tone increases.
The warning tone continuously sounds
when an object is 12 in (30 cm) or less from
the front bumper.
Note: If the detected object is 12 in (30 cm)
or less from your vehicle, visual indication
remains on.
SIDE PARKING AID
What is the Side Parking Aid
The front and rear outermost parking aid
sensors map objects that are near to the
sides of your vehicle.
