Assistance Systems for
Parking or Backing
When the vehicle is in R (Reverse),
the Rear Vision Camera (RVC),
Rear Parking Assist (RPA), and
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA),
if equipped, may help the driver to
avoid a crash or to reduce crash
damage. Some models may also
have Front Parking Assist (FPA).
When the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse), the RVC displays an
image of the area behind the vehicle
in the center stack display.
Warning
The RVC system does not display
children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
crossing traffic, animals, or any
other object located outside the
camera's field of view, below the
bumper, or under the vehicle.
Perceived distances may be
different from actual distances.
