Parking Aids (If Equipped)

FRONT PARKING AID (If Equipped) WARNINGS To help avoid personal injury, please read and understand the limitations of the system as contained in this section. Sensing is only an aid for some (generally large and fixed) objects when moving on a flat surface at parking speeds. Certain objects with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves, surrounding vehicle's parking aid systems, traffic control systems, fluorescent lamps, inclement weather, air brakes, and external motors and fans may also affect the function of the sensing system. This may include reduced performance or a false activation. To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in reverse (R) and when using the sensing system. The parking aid systemmay not prevent contactwith small ormoving objects that are close to the ground. The parking aid system gives an audible warning when it detects a large object helping to avoid damage to your vehicle. To help avoidpersonal injury youmust take care when using the parking aid system. Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt. Blocked sensors may affect system accuracy. Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects. Note: If your vehicle sustains damage leaving the sensors misaligned, this will cause inaccurate measurements or false alerts. The system warns you of objects that are within the detection zone of the bumper areas.

When the parking aid system sounds a tone, the audio systemmay reduce the set volume. When thewarning ends, the audio system will return to the previously set volume. The front parkingaid sensors automatically turn on when you shift into reverse (R) or you press the parking aid button.

Coverage area of up to 31 in (80 cm) from the center of the bumper and up to 14 in (35 cm) to the side of the bumper.

As your vehicle moves closer an obstacle, the rate of the audible warning increases. When the obstacle is less than 12 in (30 cm) away, the audiblewarning sounds continuously. If a stationary or receding object is detected 12 in (30 cm) or more from the side of your vehicle, the audible warning sounds for only three seconds. Once the system detects an object approaching, the audible warning sounds again.
