pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, ob-

surroundings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.

REAR PARK ASSIST — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense® Park Assist system provides
visual and audible indications of the distance
between the rear and/or front fascia and a
detected obstacle when backing up or moving
forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver. If your
vehicle is equipped with an Automatic Trans-
mission, the vehicle brakes may be automati-
cally applied and released when performing a
reverse parking maneuver if the system detects
a possible collision with an obstacle.
NOTE:
• The driver can override the automatic
braking function by pressing the gas
pedal, turning ParkSense®
ParkSense® switch, or changing the gear
while the automatic brakes are being ap-
plied.
• Automatic brakes will not be available if
ESC is not available.
