Active Park Assist and Park Out Assist*
Detects an available parallel or perpendicular
parking space and automatically steers the vehicle
into the space (hands-free) when you control the
accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system visually
and audibly instructs you to park your vehicle or
enter traffic. The button is on the center stack.
To use active park assist for parallel parking, press
the button once.
To use the system for perpendicular parking, press
the button twice.
Use the park out assist feature when your vehicle is
at rest in a parallel parking space. Press the button,
and then follow the instructions on the display. Use
your direction indicator to signal which side of your
vehicle you want to exit the parking space. After the
system directs your vehicle past the adjacent vehicle
or object, it guides you to take control of the steering
to complete the exit from the parking spot.
To stop the parking procedure, grab the steering
wheel or press the control again. For complete
information, refer to the Parking Aids chapter of
your Owner's Manual.
Side Sensing System*
The side sensing system uses the front and rear side sensors
to detect and map obstacles that are near to the sides of your
vehicle. The side sensors are active when the transmission is
in any position other than park (P). As the object comes closer
to the side of your vehicle, the rate of the audible warning
increases.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where
the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner's Manual for safety
information, more details and limitations.
Cross Traffic Alert*
This system is designed to warn you of vehicles approaching
from the sides when the transmission is in reverse (R). It
detects vehicles that approach with speeds of up to 37 mph
(60 km/h). The system illuminates an amber alert indicator
in the outside mirror on the side of your vehicle that the
approaching vehicle is coming from. In addition, cross traffic
alert also sounds an audible alert and a message appears in
the information display indicating a vehicle is coming from the
right or left.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where
the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner's Manual for safety
information, more details and limitations.
