(8 mph), to briefly check the status
of your trailer. Do not use for any
other purpose, such as making lane
change decisions. Before making a
lane change, always check the
mirrors and glance over your
shoulder. Improper use could result
in serious injury to you or others.
Park Assist
The vehicle may be equipped with
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.

262 DRIVING AND OPERATING
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
If a service 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 Care0370.
.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 a service message displays and the
above conditions do not exist, take the
vehicle to your dealer for repairs.
If the Park Assist System does not
activate due to a temporary condition,
a system off 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)
Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
with Braking
If equipped, under certain conditions
APA with Braking 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 with some driver
assistance. The vehicle will
automatically maneuver into a
detected spot moving at or near idle
speed. It does this by automatically
steering and braking while the driver is responsible for acceleration and
gear shifting as needed. The driver
must always be prepared to apply
braking or additional acceleration, as
needed. A display and audible 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
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 the soft-touch
button or hard switch
Ofor 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
Owhile searching for a valid
parking spot or, if available, change
the parking mode in the infotainment
display.
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 hands
from the steering wheel. After the
vibration stops, check your
surroundings and release the brakes
to begin automatic parking. As the vehicle automatically steers, and
brakes into the parking spot, check
surroundings and continue to apply
acceleration if necessary and shift
gears as needed. 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, APA
will beep and display a message
indicating parking is complete. Shift
the vehicle to P (Park) and apply the
parking brake

342 VEHICLE CARE
When the low tire pressure warning
light comes on:1. Park the vehicle in a safe, level place.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. Place the vehicle in P (Park).
4. Add air to the tire that is underinflated. The turn signal lamp
will flash.
When the recommended pressure
is reached, the horn sounds once
and the turn signal lamp will stop
flashing and briefly turn solid.
Repeat these steps for all
underinflated tires that have
illuminated the low tire pressure
warning light.
{Warning
Overinflating a tire could cause the
tire to rupture and you or others
could be injured. Do not exceed the
maximum pressure listed on the
tire sidewall. See Tire Sidewall
Labeling 0332 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0220. If the tire is overinflated by more than
35 kPa (5 psi), the horn will sound
multiple times and the turn signal
lamp will continue to flash for several
seconds after filling stops. To release
and correct the pressure, while the
turn signal lamp is still flashing,
briefly press the center of the valve
stem. When the recommended
pressure is reached, the horn
sounds once.
If the turn signal lamp does not flash
within 15 seconds after starting to
inflate the tire, the tire fill alert has
not been activated or is not working.
If the hazard warning flashers are on,
the tire fill alert visual feedback will
not work properly.
The TPMS will not activate the tire fill
alert properly under the following
conditions:
.There is interference from an
external device or transmitter.
.The air pressure from the inflation
device is not sufficient to inflate
the tire.
.There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
.There is a malfunction in the horn
or turn signal lamps.
.The identification code of the TPMS
sensor is not registered to the
system.
.The battery of the TPMS sensor
is low.
If the tire fill alert does not operate
due to TPMS interference, move the
vehicle about 1 m (3 ft) back or
forward and try again. If the tire fill
alert feature is not working, use a tire
pressure gauge.
TPMS Sensor Matching Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code needs to be matched to a new
tire/wheel position after rotating the
vehicle’s tires or replacing one or more
of the TPMS sensors. The TPMS
sensor matching process should also
be performed after replacing a spare
tire with a road tire containing the
TPMS sensor. The malfunction light
and the DIC message should go off at
the next ignition cycle. The sensors
are matched to the tire/wheel
positions, using a TPMS relearn tool,
