Warning (Continued)
Under many conditions, these
systems will not:
Detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or animals.
Detect vehicles or objects
outside the area monitored by
the system.
Work at all driving speeds.
Warn you or provide you with
enough time to avoid a crash.
Work under poor visibility or
bad weather conditions.
Work if the detection sensor
is not cleaned or is covered
by ice, snow, mud, or dirt.
Complete attention is always
required while driving, and you
should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes and/or steer
the vehicle to avoid crashes.
Audible or Safety Alert Seat
Some driver assistance features
alert the driver of obstacles by
beeping. To change the volume of
the warning chime, see Comfort
and Convenience under Vehicle
Personalization on page 5-52.
With the Safety Alert Seat, the
driver seat cushion may provide a
vibrating pulse alert instead of
beeping. To change this, see
Collision/Detection Systems under
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-52.

Assistance Systems for

Parking or Backing
When the vehicle is in R (Reverse),
the Rear Vision Camera (RVC) and
Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking
Assist (UFRPA) may help the driver
to avoid a crash or to reduce crash
damage while backing and parking.
Some models may also have Rear
Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).
Black plate (48,1)
When the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse), the RVC displays an
image of the area behind the vehicle
in the center stack display.
Warning
The RVC system does not display
children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
animals, or any other object
located outside the camera's field
of view, below the bumper,
or under the vehicle. Perceived
distances may be different from
actual distances. Do not back the
vehicle using only the RVC
screen, during longer, higher
speed backing maneuvers,
or where there could be cross
traffic. Failure to use proper care
before backing may result in
injury, death, or vehicle damage.
Always check behind and around
the vehicle before backing.
