134 Driving and Operating
Park Assist
With Front and Rear Park Assist (FPA and
RPA), as the vehicle moves at speeds of less
than 8 km/h (5 mph) the sensors on the
bumpers may detect objects up to 1.2 m
(4 ft) in front and 2.5 m (8 ft) behind the
vehicle within a zone 25 cm (10 in) high off
the ground and below bumper level. These
detection distances may be shorter during
warmer or humid weather. Blocked sensors
will not detect objects and can also cause
false detections. Keep the sensors clean of
mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush; and clean
sensors after a car wash in freezing
temperatures.

Warning
The Park Assist system does not detect
children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals,
or objects located below the bumper or
that are too close or too far from the
vehicle. It is not available at speeds
greater than 8 km/h (5 mph). To prevent
injury, death, or vehicle damage, even
with Park Assist, always check the area
around the vehicle and check all mirrors
before moving forward or backing.
The instrument cluster may have a Park
Assist display with bars that show “distance
to object” and object location information
for the Front and Rear Park Assist system.
As the object gets closer, more bars light up
and the bars change color from yellow to
amber to red.
When an object is first detected in the rear,
one beep will be heard from the rear,
or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat will
pulse two times. When an object is very
close — <0.4 m (1.5 ft) in the vehicle rear or
<0.3 m (1 ft) in the vehicle front — a
continuous beep will sound from the rear or
front depending on object location, or both
sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse five
times. Beeps for FPA are higher pitched than
for RPA.
Turning the Features On or Off
Press X on the instrument panel, to the
left of the steering wheel, to turn on or off
the Front and Rear Park Assist. The indicator
light next to the button comes on when the
features are on and turns off when the
features have been disabled.
Front and Rear Park Assist can be turned
Off, On, or On with Towbar. See “Park
Assist” under Vehicle Personalization 0 71.
If Park Assist is turned off through vehicle
personalization, the Park Assist button will
be disabled. To turn Park Assist on again,
select On in vehicle personalization. The On
with Towbar setting allows Park Assist to
work properly with a trailer hitch. Some
larger trailer hitches may not be compatible.
Turn off Park Assist when towing a trailer.
To turn the RPA symbols on or off, see
“Rear Camera Park Assist Symbols” under
Vehicle Personalization 0 71.
