The
Xbutton is used to turn on or
off the Park Assist, which also turns
on or off the Backing Warning and
Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) at
the same time. When the system is
turned off, a system off message is
shown on the display. This message
disappears after a short period
of time.

trailer to prevent unwanted beeps and
when a bike rack is attached to ensure
proper operation. When the System Does Not Seem to

.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

a system off message is shown on the
display. This can occur under the
following conditions:

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.
