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 on a
flat surface at parking speeds. Certain
objects with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic
waves, traffic control systems, fluorescent
lamps, 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 reverse (R) and
when using the sensing system.

Parking Aids

(If Equipped)
WARNINGS
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.
200
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with
MyKey™, it is possible to prevent turning the
sensing system off. See MyKey (page 59).
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of the
bumper area. The system turns on
automatically whenever you switch the
ignition on.
When receiving a detection warning, the
radio volume reduces to a predetermined
level. After the warning goes away, the radio
volume returns to the previous level.
You can switch the system off through the
information display menu or from the pop-up
message that appears once you shift the
transmission into reverse (R). If your vehicle
is equipped with a front sensing system, you
can switch the system off using the parking
aid switch. See General Information (page
109).
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information display
and you cannot switch the system on through
the pop-up message or parking aid switch.
See Information Messages (page 120).
