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.
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 1.2 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, or objects
located below the bumper or that are too
close or too far from the vehicle. It is not

Warning (Continued)
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 amphitheater-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 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.

228 Driving and Operating
Turning the System On and Off
The Park Assist System can be turned on or
off using the infotainment system. To view
available settings from the infotainment
screen, touch Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems.
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.
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
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 Care
0 321.
.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

17180837) - 2024 - CRC - 2/28/23
Driving and Operating 229
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

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.
Collision Alert
With Head-Up Display
Without Head-Up Display
When your vehicle approaches another
detected vehicle too rapidly, the red FCA
display will flash on the windshield. Also,
eight rapid high-pitched beeps will sound
from the front, or both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat will pulse five times. When this
Collision Alert occurs, the brake system may
prepare for driver braking to occur more
rapidly which can cause a brief, mild
deceleration. Continue to apply the brake
pedal as needed.
Tailgating Alert
The vehicle ahead indicator will display
amber when you are following a vehicle
ahead much too closely.
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is on the steering
wheel. Press
[to set the FCA timing to
Far, Medium, or Near. The first button press
shows the current setting on the DIC.
Additional button presses will change this
setting. The chosen setting will remain until
it is changed and will affect the timing of
both the Collision Alert and the Tailgating
Alert features. The timing of both alerts will
vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the
vehicle speed, the farther away the alert will
occur. Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the alert timing.
The range of selectable alert timings may
not be appropriate for all drivers and driving
conditions.
If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), changing the FCA
timing setting automatically changes the
following gap setting (Far, Medium,
or Near).
