Keep the sensors in the rear bumper clean and free from ice so that
the acoustic park assist system can function properly.
& WARNING
• Sensors have dead spaces in which objects cannot be
detected . Be especially alert for small children and animals, since
they are not always detected by the sensors.
• The acoustic park assist system is not a substitute for the
driver's own caution and alertness. Ultimate responsibility always
remains with the driver during parking and similar maneuvers .
Always watch where you are driving.
0 Note
• Remember that low obstacles for which a warning has already
been issued may "dive" below the system's sensing zone if the
vehicle is being backed up closer. In this case, the warning sound
shutting off does
not indicate that you have cleared the obstacle .
Instead, impact is imminent.
• Objects such as trailer hitches, barrier chains, narrow posts or
fences covered by a thin layer of paint may not always be detected
by the system . They can still damage your vehicle without a
warning.
[ i] Tips
Keep the sensors in the rear bumper clean and free of snow and ice
so that the acoustic parking assist system can function properly. •
Controls and equip -
ment
Cruise control
General information
The cruise control system allows you to maintain a
constant speed.
The cruise control system allows you to maintain a constant driving
speed when driving faster than 18 mph (30 km/h) - to the extent this
is possible with the given engine power and braking characteristics .
This allows you to take your foot off the "gas" and rest it, especially
on long trips.
The indicator light (U.S. models :
CRUISE, Canadian models : •(') ) in the
instrument cluster illuminates when the system is on.
& WARNING
• To help keep the vehicle under control, do not use the cruise
control system when driving on winding or slippery roads (as
caused by heavy rain or loose gravel on the road surface), or in
heavy or varying traffic.
• Only use the cruise control when traffic, road and weather
conditions allow you to drive at a steady speed.
[ i] Tips
The cruise control cannot maintain a constant speed when driving
downhill. The vehicle will accelerate under its own weight. Down-
shift to a lower gear or use the brakes to slow down . •
