Problems with the Parking
Assist System
If a temporary condition exists that
prevents the system from turning
on automatically, the red light in
the rear display will come on when
you shift to R (Reverse).
The following message will appear
in the Driver Information Center
display:
• PARKING ASSIST OFF
This message may appear under
the following conditions:
• The system is disabled
manually.
• The system sensors or the rear
bumper are damaged.
• A bicycle or other object is
attached to the rear of the
vehicle.

• An object is hanging out of the
liftgate.
• A tow bar is attached to the
vehicle.
• A trailer hitch or a trailer hitch
with a trailer is attached to the
vehicle.
• The system receives vibrations
from a large nearby vehicle or
from heavy equipment such as
a jackhammer.
The red light will stay on and the
message will remain in the Driver
Information Center display until
conditions are back to normal.
If you try to enable the system
using the rear parking assist
button when the system has
been automatically disabled, the
indicator light on the button will
flash for three seconds and then
remain on.
If the message does not turn off
when conditions are back to
normal, the vehicle must be driven
forward at a minimum speed of
25 km/h (15 mph).
Otherwise, if the red light stays on
and the message is still displayed,
there may be a problem with the
system. The sensors may need to
be cleaned.
If, after cleaning the rear bumper
and sensors and driving forward at
a minimum speed of 25 km/h
(15 mph), the red light is still on
and the message still appears, see
your dealer for service.
