PARKING AID PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in reverse
(R) and when using the sensing system. WARNING:
The system may not
detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care and
attention. Failure to take care may result
in a crash. WARNING:
Traffic control systems,
fluorescent lamps, inclement weather, air
brakes, external motors and fans may
affect the correct operation of the sensing
system. This may cause reduced
performance or false alerts. WARNING:
The system may not
detect small or moving objects, particularly
those close to the ground. WARNING:
The parking aid system
can only assist you to detect objects when
your vehicle is moving at parking speeds.
To help avoid personal injury you must
take care when using the parking aid
system. WARNING:
The system may not
function if the sensor is blocked. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit
sensor performance. WARNING:
If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts. When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the rear parking aid detects the trailer and
provides an alert. Disable the parking aid
when you connect a trailer to prevent the
alert.
Note:
Certain add-on devices installed
around the bumper or fascia may create
false alerts, for example, large trailer hitches,
bike or surfboard racks, license plate
brackets, bumper covers or any other device
that could block the normal detection zone
of the parking aid system. Aftermarket spare
tires or spare tire covers mounted to the rear
tailgate could cause false alerts from the
park aid system. Remove the add-on device
to prevent false alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. If the
sensors are covered, the system's accuracy
can be affected.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
Note: When using a programmed MyKey
you cannot switch this off.
See MyKey™
(page 84).

when you shift into reverse (R) and any of
the following occur:
• Your vehicle is moving backward at a low
speed.
• Your vehicle is stationary but an object
is approaching the rear of your vehicle
at a low speed.
• Your vehicle is moving backward at a low
speed and an object is moving towards
your vehicle, for example another vehicle
at a low speed. Locating the Rear Parking Aid Sensors

bumper.
Rear Parking Aid Audible Warnings
A warning tone sounds when your vehicle
approaches an object. 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 rear bumper.

If your vehicle remains stationary for a few
seconds, the audible warning turns off. If your
vehicle moves backward the tone sounds
again.
Note:
When the parking aid system sounds
a tone, the audio system could reduce the
set volume.
FRONT PARKING AID (If Equipped)
What is the Front Parking Aid
Front parking sensors detect objects in front
of your vehicle.
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
