208 Driving and Operating
Symbols and Guidelines
The system may have a feature that
lets the driver view caution symbols
on the infotainment screen while
using the RVC. The Rear Parking
Assist (RPA) system must not be
disabled to use the caution symbols.
The error message Rear Parking
Assist Symbols Unavailable may
display if RPA has been disabled
and the symbols have been
turned on.
The symbols appear and may cover
an object when viewing the
infotainment screen when an object
is detected by the RPA system.
The RVC system may have a
guideline overlay that can help the
driver align the vehicle when
backing into a parking spot.
To turn the symbols and guidelines
on or off:
1. Shift into P (Park).
2. Press the CONFIG button on
the infotainment system.
3. Select Display Settings and
then Rear Camera Options.
4. Select Symbols or Guidelines.
When a checkmark appears
next to the option, the feature
is on.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
On vehicles with the RCTA, when
shifted into R (Reverse), a warning
triangle with a left or right pointing
arrow may display on the RVC
screen to warn of traffic coming from
the left or the right. Three beeps will
also sound from the left or right
side, depending on the approaching
cross traffic direction. This system
detects objects coming from up to
20 m (65 ft) from the left or right side
behind the vehicle. The RCTA
system will not work properly if ice,
snow, mud, or anything else builds
up on the rear bumper sensors.
Use caution while backing up when
towing a trailer, as the RCTA
detection zones that extend out
from the back of your vehicle do not
move further back when a trailer is
towed.
To turn RCTA on or off, see
Collision Detection Systems under
Vehicle Personalization 0 123.
