182 Driving and Operating
Do Not Use ACC When Towing a Trailer
ACC should not be used when towing a
trailer.
Disengaging ACC
There are four ways to disengage ACC:
.Step lightly on the brake pedal.
.Press*.
.PressJ.
.Press the Regen on Demand paddle.
Erasing Speed Memory
The ACC set speed is erased from memory if
Jis pressed or if the vehicle is turned off.
Weather Conditions Affecting ACC
If the interior temperature is extremely
high, the instrument cluster may indicate
that ACC is temporarily unavailable. This can
be caused by extreme hot weather
conditions with direct sunlight on the front
camera. ACC will return to normal operation
once the cabin temperature is lower.
Conditions that are associated with low
visibility, such as fog, rain, snow, or road
spray, may limit ACC performance. Water droplets from rain or snow that remain on
the windshield may also limit ACC’s ability
to detect objects.
{Warning
Camera visibility may be limited and the
ACC system may not work properly if the
windshield is not clear. Do not use ACC if
moisture is present on the inside of the
windshield or the windshield washer is
used in cold weather. Turn on the front
defroster and make sure the windshield is
clear before using ACC. Before driving,
check that the windshield wipers are in
good condition and replace them if worn.
Lighting Conditions Affecting ACC
The ACC front camera can be affected by
poor lighting conditions, and ACC may have
limited performance when:
.There are changes in brightness, such as
entering and exiting tunnels, bridges, and
overpasses.
.Low sun angles cause the camera to not
detect objects, or it is more difficult to
detect objects in the same traffic lane.
.Lighting is poor in the evening or early
morning
.There are multiple changes in brightness
or shadows along the vehicle roadway.
.In a tunnel without the headlamps on,
or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in
front that does not have its taillamps on.
.Subjected to strong light from opposing
lane traffic in the front of the vehicle,
such as high-beam headlamps from
oncoming traffic.
Accessory Installations and Vehicle
Modifications
Do not install or place any object around
the front camera windshield area that would
obstruct the front camera view.
Do not install objects on top of the vehicle
that overhang and obstruct the front
camera, such as a canoe, kayak, or other
items.
Do not modify the hood, headlamps, or fog
lamps, as this may limit the camera’s ability
to detect an object.
Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the windshield behind
the rearview mirror can become blocked by
snow, ice, dirt, mud, or debris. This area
needs to be cleaned for ACC to operate
properly.

display. The rear camera view will be
replaced by the front camera view after
shifting from R (Reverse) to a forward gear,
or when the vehicle is moving forward
slower than approximately 12 km/h (8 mph).
Park Assist
The vehicle may be equipped with Rear Park
Assist (RPA). Under certain conditions, the
Park Assist system can assist the driver
during backing and reverse 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. 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
2.5 m (8 ft) behind 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 freezingtemperatures. 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, 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. When an object 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 rear, or the driver's seat will pulse
five times.
Turning the System On and Off
The Park Assist System can be turned on or
off using the infotainment system. To view
available settings for this feature, touch the
Settings icon on the infotainment home
page. Select
