Parking Aids
Note: If your vehicle has MyKey™, the sensing system cannot be switched off when a MyKey™ is present. See Principle of Operation (page 59).
Note: Keep the sensors on the bumper or fascia free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors are covered, the system’s accuracy can be affected. Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alerts.
Note: Certain add-on devices installed around the bumper or fascia may create false alerts. For example, large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate brackets, bumper covers or any other device that may block the normal detection zone of the system. Remove the add-on device to prevent false alerts.
Note: When you connect a trailer to your vehicle, the rear parking aid may detect the trailer and therefore provide an alert. Disable the rear parking aid when you connect a trailer to prevent the alert.
The sensing system warns the driver of obstacles within a certain range of your vehicle. The system turns on automatically whenever you switch the ignition on.
You can switch the system off through the information display menu or from the pop-up message that appears once you shift the transmission into reverse (R). See General Information (page 97). If your vehicle has a parking aid button, you can switch the system off by pressing the button.
If a fault is present in the system, a warning message appears in the information display. See Information Messages (page 106).
The rear sensors are only active when the transmission is in reverse (R). As your vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the audible warning increases.
When the obstacle is less than 12 in (30 cm) away, the warning sounds continuously. If the system detects a
stationary or receding object farther than 12 in (30 cm) from the corners of the bumper, the tone sounds for only three seconds. Once the system detects an object approaching, the warning sounds again.
Coverage area of up to 6 ft (1.8 m) from the rear bumper. There may be decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper.
The system detects certain objects while the transmission is in reverse (R):
(5 km/h) or less.
The system provides audio warnings only when your vehicle is moving or when your vehicle is stationary and the detected obstacle is less than 12 in (30 cm) away from the bumper.
Obstacle Distance Indicator (If Equipped)
The system provides obstacle distance indication through the information display. The distance indicator displays when the transmission is in reverse (R).
The indicator displays:
The front sensors are active when the transmission is in any position other than park (P) and your vehicle is traveling at low speed.
E187330
Coverage area of up to 28 in (70 cm) from the front bumper. The coverage area decreases at the outer corners.
When your vehicle approaches an object, a warning tone sounds. When your vehicle moves closer to an object, the warning tone repeat rate increases. The warning tone sounds continuously when an object is 12 in (30 cm) or less from the front bumper.

Once the vehicle is stationary, the audio warning stops after two seconds. Visual indication is always present in reverse (R).
If the transmission is in drive (D) or any other forward gear (for example, low (L), sport (S) or any forward gear in a manual transmission), the front sensing system provides audio and visual warnings when your vehicle is moving below a speed of
5 mph (8 km/h) and an obstacle is inside the detection area. Once the vehicle is stationary, the audio warning stops after two seconds and the visual indication stops after four seconds. If the obstacles detected are within 12 in (30 cm), the visual indication remains on.
If the transmission is in neutral (N), the system provides visual indication only when your vehicle is moving at 5 mph (8 km/h) or below and an obstacle is
inside the detection area. Once your vehicle is stationary, the visual indication stops after four seconds.
SIDE SENSING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The side sensing system uses the front and rear side sensors to detect and map obstacles within the vehicle's driving path, located near the sides of your vehicle. The side sensors are active when the transmission is in any position other than park (P).
Note: Obstacles that enter the side detection area without being detected and mapped by the front or rear side sensors will not be detected.
E187810
Coverage area is up to 24 in (60 cm) from the sides of your vehicle.
When the system detects an object close to the side of your vehicle, an audible warning sounds. As your vehicle moves closer to obstacles within the driving path of your vehicle, the rate of the audible warning increases.
185
Obstacle Distance Indicator (If Equipped)
E190459
The system provides obstacle distance indication through the information display.
As the distance to the obstacle decreases, the indicator blocks illuminate and move toward the vehicle icon. If there is no obstacle detected, the distance indicator blocks show greyed out.
When you shift to reverse (R), the side sensing system provides audible warnings when your vehicle is moving and obstacles are detected within 24 in (60 cm) and are inside the driving path of your vehicle.
When you stop your vehicle the audible warning stops after two seconds.
Note: Visual distance indication remains on when the transmission is in reverse (R).
When you shift to drive (D) or any other forward gear, for example, low (L), sport
obstacles are detected within 24 in
(60 cm) and are inside the driving path of your vehicle. Once your vehicle reaches a standstill condition, the audible warning stops after two seconds and visual indication stops after four seconds.
If the transmission is in neutral (N), the side sensing system provides visual distance indication only when your vehicle is moving below a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) and there is a front or rear parking aid obstacle detected, and the side obstacle is within 24 in (60 cm) from the side of your vehicle. When you stop your vehicle the visual distance indication stops after four seconds.
If the side sensing system is not available, the side distance indicator blocks do not appear.
The side sensing system is not available under the following condition:
• If you switch the traction control system off.
The side sensing system may not be available until you have driven approximately the length of your vehicle in order for the system to reinitialize if:
• You switch the ignition on, off and back on.
• Your vehicle remains stationary for over two minutes.
• The anti-lock brake system is activated.
• The traction control system is activated.
• When the steering wheel angle information is not available, the side sensing system is not available. The vehicle must be driven at least 492 ft (150 m) above 19 mph (30 km/h) to recover the steering wheel angle information.

The rear view camera system provides a video image of the area behind your vehicle.
During operation, lines appear in the display which represent your vehicle’s path and proximity to objects behind your vehicle.
The camera is located on the luggage compartment door.
The rear view camera system displays what is behind your vehicle when you place the transmission in reverse (R).
Note: The reverse sensing system is not effective at speeds above 7 mph (12 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects.
The system uses three types of guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle:
• Active guidelines: Show the intended path of your vehicle when reversing.
• Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path your vehicle is moving in while reversing in a straight line. This can be helpful when backing into a parking space or aligning your vehicle with another object behind you.
• Centerline: Helps align the center of your vehicle with an object (for example, a trailer).
Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R) and the luggage compartment is ajar, no rear view camera features display.
The camera may not operate correctly under the following conditions:
• Nighttime or dark areas if one or both reverse lamps are not operating.
• Mud, water or debris obstructs the camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
• The rear of your vehicle is hit or damaged, causing the camera to become misaligned.
Note: Active guidelines are only available when the transmission is in reverse (R).
A Active guidelines B Centerline
C Fixed guideline: Green zone
D Fixed guideline: Yellow zone E Fixed guideline: Red zone
F Rear bumper
(If Equipped)
Active guidelines only show with fixed guidelines. To use active guidelines, turn the steering wheel to point the guidelines toward an intended path. If the steering wheel position changes while reversing, your vehicle might deviate from the original intended path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in and out depending on the steering wheel position. The active guidelines do not display when the steering wheel position is straight.
Always use caution while reversing. Objects in the red zone are closest to your vehicle and objects in the green zone are farther away. Objects are getting closer to your vehicle as they move from the green zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the side view mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both sides and rear of your vehicle.
You can access the rear view camera system settings through the display screen. See General Information (page 97).
The system uses red, yellow and green highlights that appear on top of the video image when any of the sensing systems detect an object.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON and OFF.
