Chevrolet VOLT Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-6014139) -

2014 - CRC - 9/16/13

Driving and Operating

9-41

When the vehicle is in N (Neutral),
the system may be active. The
Parking Assist system may need to
be turned off during a car wash to
avoid repeating alerts. See

“

Turning

the System On and Off

”

later in this

section to turn the system off.

For vehicles with UFRPA,
high-toned beeps from the front
speakers are for objects detected
near the front bumper. Low-toned
beeps from the rear speakers are
for objects detected near the rear
bumper. The interval between the
beeps becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than
30 cm (12 in) the beeping is a
continuous tone for five seconds.

Objects Detected by Both the
Front and Rear Sensors (If
Equipped)

In general, if objects are detected at
the same time near both the front
and rear bumpers while backing up,

the beeps only sound to indicate
that objects are close to the rear
bumper.

However, if an object comes within
0.3 m (1 ft) of the front bumper while
the vehicle is backing up and at the
same time there is another object
further than 0.3 m (1 ft) from the rear
bumper, then the beeps only sound
to indicate the object that is closer
to the front bumper.

Turning the System On and Off

The system can be turned on and
off by pressing the park assist
button in the overhead console.

The indicator light next to the park
assist button lights up when the
system is active.

When the system is turned off or
when there is a temporary condition
causing the system to be disabled,
PARK ASSIST OFF displays on the
Driver Information Center (DIC). The
message disappears after a short
period of time.

The system defaults to the on
setting each time the vehicle is
started.

When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly

The following messages may be
displayed on the DIC:

SERVICE PARKING ASSIST:

If

this message occurs, check the
following conditions:

.

The ultrasonic sensors are not
clean. Keep the vehicle's
bumpers free of mud, dirt, snow,
ice, and slush. For cleaning
instructions, see
