DRIVING AND OPERATING
uses ultrasonic sensors in the
bumpers to measure the distance
between the vehicle and objects. The
system calculates the distance
between vehicle and object via
measuring the time it takes for the
ultrasonic waves to bounce back from
the object. Park Assist works only at
speeds up to about 11 Kmh (7 mph).
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button indicates that the
system is ready to operate. The
sensors on the bumpers may detect
objects up to 1.8m (6 ft) behind and
1.25m (4 ft) in front of 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 is no
substitute for careful and attentive
driving. 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
11 km/h (7 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 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 (<0.6 m (2 ft) in the
vehicle rear, five beeps will sound
from the rear, or both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse five times.
Backing Warning and Reverse
Automatic Braking
Vehicles with Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) have the Backing Warning
System and Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB) system. The Backing
Warning part of this system can warn
of rear objects when backing up at
speeds greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).
The Backing Warning System will
beep once from the rear when an
object is first detected, or pulse twice
