Ultrasonic Parking Assist - Chevrolet 2013 VOLT Owner's Manual

no vehicle ahead, or the vehicle
ahead is out of range, dashes will
be displayed.
Traffic Sign Assistant
The traffic sign assistant system
detects designated traffic signs with
the FCA camera sensor and
displays them on the Driver
Information Centre (DIC). See
Driver Information Centre (DIC) on
page 5 39.
Speed limit signs are displayed in
the DIC until the next speed limit
sign or end of speed limit sign is
detected, or until the system
times out.
An exclamation point will be
displayed if the system detects a
sign that it does not recognise.
The system is active up to a speed
of 200 km/h (125 mph) depending
on lighting conditions. At night, the
system is active up to a speed of
160 km/h (100 mph).
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may sometimes set
unnecessary alerts to turning
vehicles, vehicles in other lanes,
objects that are not vehicles,
or shadows. These alerts are
normal operation and the vehicle
does not need service.
Other Messages
There are messages that may
appear on the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) in the instrument
cluster to provide information about
FCA. See Object Detection System
Messages on page 5 45.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to
operate properly, clean the outside
of the windscreen area in front of
the camera sensor before
considering taking the vehicle in for
service.
Driving and Operating

Ultrasonic Parking Assist

If available, the Ultrasonic Front and
Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA)
system assists the driver with
parking and avoiding objects.
UFRPA operates at speeds less
than 8 km/h (5 mph). The sensors
on the front and rear bumper detect
objects up to 1.2 m (4 ft) in front of
the vehicle, 2.5 m (8 ft) behind the
vehicle, and at least 25 cm (10 in)
off the ground.
How the System Works
When the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse) the front and rear
sensors are automatically turned on.
After the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), the rear sensors are
turned off and the front sensors stay
on until the vehicle is above a
speed of 8 km/h (5 mph). For the
front park assist system to be active
again without shifting into
R (Reverse), the park assist button
in the overhead console must be
pressed. See Turning the System
On and Off later in this section.
