Warning (Continued)
or vehicle damage, even with
parking assist, always check the
area around the vehicle and
check all mirrors before moving
forward or reversing.
The instrument cluster may have a
parking assist display with bars that
show distance to object and object
location information for the Parking
Assist system. As the object gets
closer, more bars light up and the
bars change colour from yellow to
amber to red.
When an object is first detected in
the rear, one beep will be heard
from the rear, or both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse two
times. When an object is very close
(<0.6 m (2 ft) in the vehicle rear,
or <0.3 m (1 ft) in the vehicle front),
five beeps will sound from the front
or rear depending where the object
is detected, or both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse five
times. Beeps for FPA are higher
pitched than for RPA.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If equipped, RCTA displays a red
warning triangle with a left or right
pointing arrow on the RVC screen to
warn of traffic coming from the left
or right. This system detects objects
coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from
the left or right-hand side of the
vehicle. When an object is detected,
either three beeps sound from the
left or right or three Safety Alert
Seat pulses occur on the left or right
side, depending on the direction of
the detected vehicle.
Use caution while reversing when
towing a trailer, as the RCTA
detection zones that extend out
Driving and Operating
from the back of the vehicle do not
move further back when a trailer is
towed.
Turning the Features On or Off
The button on the centre
console is used to turn on or off the
Front and Rear Parking Assist and
Rear Cross Traffic Alert system at
the same time. The indicator light
next to the button comes on when
the features are on and turns off
when the features have been
disabled.
Turn off parking assist when towing
a trailer.
To turn the rear parking assist
symbols on or off, see Rear
Camera under Vehicle
Personalisation 0 146.
