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
the object's location, or the driver's
seat will pulse five times. Beeps for
front are higher pitched than the rear.
The beeps may be muted by pressing
the on screen mute button.Turning the System On and Off
The Park Assist System can be turned
on or off using the infotainment
system. SeeVehicle Personalization
0 140.
Turning the Park Assist System on or
off also turns the Backing Warning
and Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
on or off at the same time.
When the system is off, PARK ASSIST
OFF is shown on the display. This
message disappears after a short
period of time.
If the vehicle has a trailer hitch
attached, select ON - ATTACHED
using the infotainment system menus
to allow Park Assist to function
properly. Park Assist is able to
compensate for a trailer hitch up to
0.3 m (1 ft) in length and width. Park
Assist may not function properly with
larger trailer hitches and provide
inaccurate information of objects in
the rear
Turn off Park Assist when towing a
trailer to prevent unwanted beeps and
when a bike rack is attached to ensure
proper operation. When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The following messages may be shown
on the display:
SERVICE PARK ASSIST
If this message displays, check the
following conditions:
.The sensors may not be clean. Keep
the vehicle's front and rear bumpers
free of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and
slush. For cleaning instructions, see
Exterior Care
0444.
.The Park Assist sensors may be
covered by frost or ice. Frost or ice
can form around and behind the
sensors and may not always be
seen; this can occur after washing
the vehicle in cold weather. The
message may not clear until the
frost or ice has melted.
If this message displays and the above
conditions do not exist, take the
vehicle to your dealer for repair.

PARK ASSIST OFF
If the Park Assist System does not
activate due to a temporary condition,
this message is shown on the display.
This can occur under the following
conditions:
.The driver has disabled the system.
.An object is currently blocking the
rear sensors (for example, bike rack,
tailgate, trailer hitch, etc.) Once the
object is removed, Park Assist will
return to normal operation.
.The bumper is damaged. Take the
vehicle to your dealer for repairs.
.Other conditions, such as vibrations
from a jackhammer or the
compression of air brakes on a very
large truck, are affecting system
performance.
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
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
that is behind or alongside of the
vehicle. Always be prepared to stop
the vehicle during the parking
maneuver.
How to Activate Automatic Parking
To activate APA, press
Oon the
Home Page of the infotainment
display for the system to begin
searching for a parking space while
driving forward at no greater than
30 km/h (18 mph). By default, APA
searches for parallel parking spaces to
the right of the vehicle up to the
sensors ’range of 1.5 m (5 ft). To
search for a parking space to the left,
turn on the left turn signal or,
if available, change the side selection
in the infotainment display. To switch
the parking mode between parallel
and perpendicular press and hold
O
while searching for a valid parking
spot or, if available, change the
parking mode in the infotainment
display.

DRIVING AND OPERATING 315
APA cannot park in all empty parking
spots. The parking spot must:
.Be sufficiently large to fit the
vehicle comfortably.
.Have an adjacent vehicle, wall,
or pillar for the system to align to.
After completely passing an eligible
parking spot, a beep sounds and a red
stop symbol is displayed in the driver
information center. Generally, APA
selects the nearest empty parking spot
behind the vehicle, but under some
conditions may select a space that is
further back. Slow down and bring the
vehicle to a complete stop to begin.
Follow the displayed instructions.
When instructed to drive in reverse,
shift to R (Reverse) while holding the
brakes. The steering wheel will vibrate
briefly as a reminder to remove handsfrom the steering wheel. Release the
brakes slowly when the vibration
stops to begin automatic parking. As
the vehicle automatically steers,
brakes, accelerates, and shifts gears
into the parking spot, check
surroundings. Be prepared to stop to
avoid vehicles, pedestrians, or objects.
A progress arrow displays the status
of the parking maneuver. Once
automatic parking is finished and the
vehicle has come to a full stop, FINAL
POSITION - PRESS BRAKES message
will be displayed. Press and hold the
brakes, and APA will beep and display
a PARKING COMPLETE message. Shift
the vehicle to P (Park) and apply the
parking brake.
How to Activate Automatic Parallel
Spot Unparking Assist
To activate parallel spot unparking
assist, press the soft-touch button or
hard switch
Oafter turning on the
vehicle while leaving it in P (Park) and
the parking brake is off. If the system
is able to determine a path out of the
parking spot, a screen will be
displayed for unparking options.
Similar to automatic parking, follow
the displayed instructions and check
surroundings as the vehicle unparks.
Once automatic unparking is finished
and the vehicle has come to a full
stop, FINAL POSITION - PRESS
BRAKES message will be displayed.
Press and hold the brakes, and APA
will beep and display a TAKE
CONTROL message. The vehicle is
now positioned such that the path to
exit the parking spot is free of
obstructions. Shift into D (Drive) to
start driving away.
