The system detects obstacles within approximately 16 feet (5 meters), at
speeds above 2 mph [3 km/h]), behind the rear bumper with a decreased
coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper. If the vehicle speed is
below 2 mph [3 km/h]), the system will detect objects up to 10 feet (3
meters) behind the vehicle with a decreased coverage area at the outer
corners of the bumper. In the figure, the smaller objects behind the
vehicle represent the near-vehicle and bumper corner coverage area of
the park aid system and the large object represents the extended
coverage area. As you move closer to the obstacle, the rate of the tone
increases. When the distance to the obstacle is less than 18 inches (45.0
cm), the tone will sound continuously. If the system detects an object
that is approaching the vehicle at such as rate that rapid braking is
required, a very high rate tone will sound. If this tone is heard while
reversing, the driver is advised to slow down immediately until the tone
either changes to a slower rate or stops. While receiving a warning the
radio volume will be reduced to a predetermined level. After the warning
goes away, the radio will return to the previous volume. The radio
volume may be overridden using the radio volume control.
The rear park assist is automatically
enabled when the gear selector is
placed in R (Reverse) and the
ignition is ON. A park assist control
allows the driver to disable the
system only when the ignition is
ON, and the gear selector is in R
(Reverse).
The OFF indicator remains
illuminated when the system is
disabled. Press the control to
disable or enable the system. Once disabled, the system will remain
disabled until the control is pressed or until the next ignition cycle.
The indicator will remain illuminated to indicate a failure of the rear park
assist.
