Front/rear park assist
The park assist system(s) are designed to assist you when driving into parking spaces, garages, etc. They utilize
ultrasound sensors located in the bumpers to measure the distance to a vehicle or other object, or a person who may be
close to the front or rear of the vehicle.
When is park assist active?
Front:
the system is active from the time the engine is started until the car exceeds a speed of approximately 10 mph
(15 km/h).
Rear:
when the engine is running and reverse gear is selected.
NOTE:
· If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems will either be activated or deactivated together.
They cannot be used separately.
· The indicator light in the button (see the illustration on
page 31
) will light up to indicate that park assist system(s) are
activated.
When park assist is actively working:
1. The audio system's volume will be reduced.
2. An intermittent signal will be audible from the speakers to indicate that you are approaching a person, object,
parked vehicle, etc.
The signals begin when the distance between the bumper and the object is:
Rear:
approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters)
Front:
approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 meters)
3. At a distance of approximately 1 foot (30 cm), the signal will become constant.
Deactivating the system(s)
· Press the Park assist button on the center console (see
page 31
) to temporarily deactivate the system(s).
· The indicator light in the button will go out when the system(s) have been deactivated.
· If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems will be deactivated by pressing the button.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to deactivate one or both of the park assist systems in certain cases.
·
Rear park assist:
towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mounted carrier, etc, could trigger the rear park assist
system's sensors.
·
Front park assist:
it may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park assist since these lights
could trigger the system's sensors.
