Displayed images may be farther or closer
than they appear. The area displayed is
limited and objects that are close to either
corner of the bumper or under the bumper
do not display.
A warning triangle may appear on the
infotainment display to show that Rear Park
Assist (RPA) or Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
has detected an object. This triangle changes
from amber to red and increases in size the
closer the object.
{
Warning
The camera(s) do not display children,
pedestrians, bicyclists, crossing traffic,
animals, or any other object outside of
the cameras’ field of view, below the
bumper, or under the vehicle. Shown
distances may be different from actual
distances. Do not drive or park the
vehicle using only these camera(s).
Always check behind and around the
vehicle before driving. Failure to use
proper care may result in injury, death,
or vehicle damage.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
On vehicles with the RCTA, a warning
triangle with a left or right pointing arrow
may appear on the infotainment display to
warn of traffic coming from the left or the
right. Three beeps will sound from the
speaker on that side. This system detects
objects coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from
the left or right side behind the vehicle. The
RCTA system will not work properly if ice,
snow, mud, or anything else builds up on
the rear bumper sensors.
Park Assist
If equipped, the Front and Rear Park Assist
(FRPA) system assists you with parking and
avoiding objects. FRPA operates at speeds
less than 8 km/h (5 mph). The sensors on
the front and rear bumper detect objects up
to 1.2 m (4 ft) in front of the vehicle, 2.5 m
(8 ft) behind the vehicle, and at least 25 cm
(10 in) off the ground and below liftgate
level. This detection distance may be less
during warmer or humid weather.
{
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.
How the System Works
When the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse)
the front and rear sensors are automatically
turned on. After the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), the rear sensors are turned off
and the front sensors stay on until the
vehicle is above a speed of 8 km/h (5 mph).
For the front Park Assist system to be active
again without shifting into R (Reverse),
X
must be pressed. See “Turning the System
On and Off” later in this section.
When the vehicle is in N (Neutral), the
system may be active. If the vehicle is in a
car wash, the sensors may detect objects in
