Park Assist
The vehicle may be equipped with
Rear Park Assist (RPA) or Front and
Rear Park Assist (FRPA). Under
certain conditions, the Park Assist
system can assist the driver during
backing and parking maneuvers when
the vehicle is driven at no more than 9 km/h (6 mph). An illuminated
indicator in the Park Assist button
indicates the system is ready.
Sensors located in the bumpers
measure the distance between the
vehicle and objects using sonar
technology. These sensors are
designed to detect certain objects up
to 1.8 m (6 ft) behind and 1.3 m (4 ft)
in front of your vehicle that are taller
than 25 cm (10 in).
Different environmental conditions
may affect whether and how far the
Park Assist system can detect objects.
Keep the sensors clean of mud, dirt,
snow, ice, and slush; and clean
sensors after a car wash in freezing
temperatures. Sensors that are not
clean may not detect objects or may
cause the system to alert when not
required.{Warning
The Park Assist System is no
substitute for careful and attentive
driving. The Park Assist system
does not detect children,
pedestrians, bicyclists, animals,
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
or objects located below the
bumper or that are too close or too
far from the vehicle. It is not
available at speeds greater than
9 km/h (6 mph). To prevent injury,
death, or vehicle damage, even with
Park Assist, always check the area
around the vehicle and check all
mirrors before moving forward or
backing.
How the System Works
The vehicle may have a Park
Assist amphitheatre-like display on
the cluster with bars that represent
the estimated location of a detected
object and the vehicle’s distance from
the object. As a detected object
becomes closer, more bars light up
and change color from yellow to
amber to red. Vehicles equipped with
RPA will show the amphitheater at
the rear of the vehicle, and if
equipped, FRPA will show
the amphitheater at the front and rear.

DRIVING AND OPERATING 313
The system warns the driver with
beeps against potentially hazardous
obstacles in the path of the vehicle.
When an object in the driving path is
first detected in the rear, one beep will
be heard from the rear, or the driver's
seat will pulse two times if equipped
with Safety Alert Seat. When an object
is very close, five beeps will sound
from the front or rear, depending on

Automatic Parking
Assist (APA)
If equipped, under certain conditions
Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist
(APA) can use sensors based on sonar
technology along the vehicle’s front,
rear and sides to detect a parking spot
and automatically park the vehicle.The vehicle will automatically
maneuver into a detected spot moving
at or near idle speed. It does this by
automatically steering, braking,
accelerating, and gear shifting. The
driver must always be prepared to
apply braking if necessary. A display
and beeps help to guide the parking
maneuvers.
{Warning
APA may not always detect objects
in the parking space, objects that
are not rigid (e.g. shrubs and
chain-link fences), objects below the
bumper, objects high off the ground
(e.g. flatbed trucks), hanging
objects, objects below ground level
(e.g. large potholes), or moving
objects (e.g. pedestrians, cyclists,
vehicles). Always verify that the
parking space is appropriate for
parking a vehicle. APA may not
respond to changes in the parking
space, such as movement of an
adjacent vehicle, or a person or
object entering the parking space.
APA does not detect or avoid traffic
