Controls and features
A reverse sensing control allows the
OFF
driver to enable and disable the RSS
when the ignition is ON. The
reverse sensing control indicator
momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned ON.
The OFF indicator remains
illuminated when the system is
disabled. The system defaults to ON every time the reverse gear is
selected. Press the control to disable or enable the system.
The indicator will remain illuminated to indicate a failure of the reverse
sensing system.
Always keep the sensors (located on the rear bumper/fascia) free
from dirt, snow and ice (do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects). These elements may cause the system to operate
inaccurately.
If the vehicle sustains damage to the rear bumper/fascia, leaving
it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of obstacles.
TRACTION CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
This control can be used to turn the
Traction Control on or off. Refer
to the Traction Control section of
the Driving chapter for more
information.
