CAUTION!
•
Side Distance Warning is only a parking aid and it
is unable to recognize every obstacle, including
small obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporar-
ily detected or not detected at all. Obstacles
located above or below the sensors will not be
detected when they are in close proximity.
•
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using Side
Distance Warning in order to be able to stop in
time when an obstacle is detected. It is recom-
mended that the driver looks over his/her shoulder
when using ParkSense.
If it is necessary to keep the ball mount and hitch ball
assembly mounted for a long period, it is possible to
filter out the ball mount and hitch ball assembly pres-
ence in the sensor field of view. The filtering operation
must be performed only by an authorized dealer.
REAR EMERGENCY BRAKING
(BEV MODELS)
The Rear Emergency Braking (REB) system helps to
mitigate rear collisions and, when avoidance is not fea-
sible, mitigate the impact when the vehicle is moving in
reverse at speeds of 6 mph (11 km/h) or lower.
REB will not be activated by obstacles lower than 8 in
(20 cm) of height which do not have potential collision
with the bumper.
When REB is activated, the vehicle will be slowed to
0 mph (0 km/h) by applying the brakes and reducing
the engine torque to the minimum level. The system is
activated when the vehicle is in REVERSE gear and
moving below a specific velocity threshold of 6 mph
(11 km/h) or lower. When the speed is between the
range of 6-8 mph (6-11 km/h), the system offers effec-
tive collision mitigation, providing a reliable solution
when avoidance is not possible.
When REB is activated, the system will suppress addi-
tional Rear Emergency Braking events until the ultra-
sonic sensors no longer detect any objects behind the
car. Once the sensors detect a clear path, the REB sys-
tem will regain full functionality, ready to activate when-
ever it identifies newly detected objects.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using Rear Emergency Braking. Always check care-
fully behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before backing
up. You are responsible for safety and must continue
to pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
(GAS MODELS) — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is intended to
assist the driver during parallel and perpendicular park-
ing maneuvers by identifying a proper parking space,
providing audible/visual instructions through the instru-
ment cluster display, and controlling the steering wheel.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is defined as
“semi-automatic” since the driver maintains control of
the accelerator, gear selector and brakes. Depending
on the driver's parking maneuver selection, the system
is capable of maneuvering a vehicle into a parallel or a
perpendicular parking space on either side (i.e., driver
side or passenger side).
NOTE:
•
The driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle, responsible for any surrounding objects,
and must intervene as required.
•
The system is provided to assist the driver and not
to substitute the driver.
