longer than expected or not calibrate if:
.The vehicle is driven too fast during
calibration. Speed should be maintained
below 50 km/h (31 mph).
.The vehicle is not driven straight during
calibration. Steering should be maintained
as straight as possible, excessive steering
during calibration may extend
calibration time.
.The calibration is attempted in low light.
Calibration should be attempted when
there is enough light.
.The calibration is attempted during
adverse weather conditions. Calibration
during conditions such as snow or heavy
rain should be avoided.
.The road surface is not ideal for
calibration. Calibration should be
attempted on an alternate road surface.

Driving and Operating 251
Warning (Continued)
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 instrument cluster may have a Park
Assist display with bars that show distance
to object, driving direction, and object
location information for the Park Assist
system. As the object gets closer, more bars
light up and the bars change color from
yellow to amber to red.
When an object is very close to the vehicle
rear (<0.6m (2 ft)), five beeps will sound
from the rear followed by a continuous
beep from the rear, or both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse five times. Whenan object is very close to the vehicle front
(<0.3m (1 ft)), a continuous beep will sound
from the front, or both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat will pulse five times. Beeps for
FPA are higher pitched than for RPA.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If equipped, when the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse), RCTA displays a red warning
triangle with a left or right pointing arrow
to warn of traffic coming from the left or
right. This system detects objects coming
from up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left or
right side of the vehicle. When an object is
detected, either three beeps sound from the
left or right or three Safety Alert Seat pulses
occur on the left or right side, depending on
the direction of the detected vehicle.
Use caution while backing up when towing
a trailer, as the RCTA detection zones that
extend out from the back of the vehicle do
not move further back when a trailer is
towed.
Turning the Features On or Off
TheXbutton located in the customizing
menu is used to turn on or off the Park
Assist. Front and Rear Park Assist can be set to Off,
On, or On with Towbar through vehicle
personalization. See
“Park Assist”under
Vehicle Personalization 0130. If Park Assist
is turned off through vehicle personalization,
the Park Assist button will be disabled. To
turn the Park Assist on again, select On in
vehicle personalization. The On with Towbar
setting allows for Park Assist to work
properly with an attached trailer hitch. Turn
off Park Assist when towing a trailer.
To turn the RPA symbols or guidance lines
on or off, see Rear Camera and Collision/
Detection Systems under Vehicle
Personalization 0130. On some models,
select the guidance lines button on the
infotainment display to turn them on or off.
Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
Backing Warning and Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
Vehicles with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
have the Backing Warning System and
Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) system.
When in R (Reverse), Backing Warning alerts
of rear objects at vehicle speeds greater
than 8 km/h (5 mph), and RAB may
automatically brake hard at speeds between
1–32 km/h (0.5–20 mph).

rear, or if equipped, seven pulses from both
sides of the driver seat.
{Warning
Rear Pedestrian Alert does not
automatically brake the vehicle. It also
does not provide an alert unless it
detects a pedestrian, and it may not
detect all pedestrians if:
.The pedestrian is not directly behind
the vehicle, fully visible to the Rear
Vision Camera (RVC), or standing
upright.
.The pedestrian is part of a group.
.The pedestrian is a child.
.Visibility is poor, including nighttime
conditions, fog, rain, or snow.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.The RVC is blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice.
.The RVC, taillamps, or back-up lamps
are not cleaned or in proper working
condition.
.The vehicle is not in R (Reverse).
To help avoid death or injury, always
check for pedestrians around the vehicle
before backing up. Be ready to take
action and apply the brakes. See
Defensive Driving 0192. Keep the RVC,
taillamps, and back-up lamps clean and in
good repair.
Rear Pedestrian Alert can be set to Off or
Alert. See “Rear Pedestrian Detection” in
“Collision/Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0130. If equipped, alerts can
be set to beeps or seat pulses. See “Alert
Type” in“Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalization 0130.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
System
If equipped, Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
displays a red warning triangle with a left
or right pointing arrow on the infotainment
display to warn of traffic coming from the
left or right. This system detects objects
coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left
or right side of the vehicle. When an object
is detected, either three beeps sound from
the left or right or three Safety Alert Seat
pulses occur on the left or right side,
depending on the direction of the detected
vehicle.
Driving With a Trailer
Use caution while backing up when towing
a trailer. The RCTA feature is automatically
disabled when a trailer is attached to the
vehicle.
Turning the Features On or Off
RCTA can be turned on or off using the
infotainment system. See “Collision/

254 Driving and Operating
Assistance Systems for Driving
If equipped, when driving the vehicle in a
forward gear, Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB), Lane Keep
Assist (LKA), Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA),
Lane Change Alert (LCA), and/or Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB) can help to avoid a
crash or reduce crash damage.
Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System
If equipped, the FCA system may help to
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes. When approaching a
vehicle ahead too quickly, FCA provides a
red flashing alert on the windshield and
rapidly beeps or pulses the driver seat. FCA
also lights an amber visual alert if following
another vehicle much too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a distance of
approximately 60 m (197 ft) and operates at
speeds above 8 km/h (5 mph). If the vehicle
has Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), it can
detect vehicles to distances of approximately
110 m (360 ft) and operates at all speeds.
SeeAdaptive Cruise Control (Advanced)
0 232.
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When approaching a
slower-moving or stopped vehicle ahead
too rapidly, or when following a vehicle
too closely, FCA may not provide a
warning with enough time to help avoid
a crash. It also may not provide any
warning at all. FCA does not warn of
pedestrians, animals, signs, guardrails,
bridges, construction barrels, or other
objects. Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See Defensive Driving
0 192.
FCA can be disabled with either the FCA
steering wheel control or, if equipped,
through vehicle personalization. See
“Collision/Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0130.
Detecting the Vehicle Ahead
FCA warnings will not occur unless the FCA
system detects a vehicle ahead. When a
vehicle is detected, the vehicle ahead
indicator will display green. Vehicles may
not be detected on curves, highway exit
ramps, or hills, due to poor visibility; or if a
vehicle ahead is partially blocked by
pedestrians or other objects. FCA will not
detect another vehicle ahead until it is
completely in the driving lane.
{Warning
FCA does not provide a warning to help
avoid a crash, unless it detects a vehicle.
FCA may not detect a vehicle ahead if
the FCA sensor is blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice, or if the windshield is damaged.
It may also not detect a vehicle on
winding or hilly roads, or in conditions
that can limit visibility such as fog, rain,
or snow, or if the headlamps or
windshield are not cleaned or in proper
condition. Keep the windshield,
headlamps, and FCA sensors clean and in
good repair.
