PARKING AID (If Equipped)

WARNINGS

To help avoid personal injury, please

read and understand the limitations

of the system as contained in this

section. Sensing is only an aid for some

(generally large and fixed) objects when

moving in reverse on a flat surface at

parking speeds. Traffic control systems,

inclement weather, air brakes, and external

motors and fans may also affect the

function of the sensing system; this may

include reduced performance or a false

activation.

To help avoid personal injury, always

use caution when in R (Reverse) and

when using the sensing system.

This system is not designed to

prevent contact with small or moving

objects. The system is designed to

provide a warning to assist the driver in

detecting large stationary objects to avoid

damaging the vehicle. The system may not

detect smaller objects, particularly those

close to the ground.

Certain add-on devices such as large

trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks

and any device that may block the

normal detection zone of the system, may

create false beeps.

Note: Keep the sensors, located on the

bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and

large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors

are covered, the system’s accuracy can be

affected. Do not clean the sensors with

sharp objects.

Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to

the bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned

or bent, the sensing zone may be altered

causing inaccurate measurement of

obstacles or false alarms.

Note: If your vehicle is equipped with

MyKey™, it is possible to prevent turning

the sensing system off. See MyKey™ (page

51).

Note: If your vehicle is equipped with a fully

integrated electronic trailer brake controller

(TBC) and a trailer with electric trailer

brakes is connected to your vehicle, the RSS

will be disabled. When the vehicle is shifted

into reverse, the information display will

remain in the Rear Park Aid Off selection.

For more information on the TBC, See

Trailer Sway Control (page 192).

The sensing system warns the driver of

obstacles within a certain range of the

bumper area. The system turns on

automatically whenever the ignition is

switched on.

When receiving a detection warning, the

radio volume is reduced to a

predetermined level. After the warning

goes away, the radio volume returns to the

previous level.

Rear Sensing System

The rear sensors are only active when the

transmission is in R (Reverse). As the

vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the

rate of the audible warning increases.

When the obstacle is fewer than 12 inches

(30 centimeters) away, the warning

sounds continuously. If a stationary or

receding object is detected farther than 12

inches (30 centimeters) from the side of

the vehicle, the tone sounds for only three

seconds. Once the system detects an

object approaching, the warning sounds

again.
