Parking Aids

Obstacle Distance Indicator (If Equipped)

obstacles are detected within 24 in (60 cm) and are inside the driving path of your vehicle. Once your vehicle reaches a standstill condition, the audible warning stops after two seconds and visual indication stops after four seconds. If the transmission is in neutral (N), the side sensing system provides visual distance indication onlywhen your vehicle ismoving below a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) and there is a front or rear parking aid obstacle detected, and the side obstacle is within 24 in (60 cm) fromthe side of your vehicle. When you stop your vehicle the visual distance indication stops after four seconds. If the side sensing system is not available, the side distance indicator blocks do not appear. The side sensing system is not available under the following condition: • If you switch the traction control system off. The side sensing systemmay not be available until you have driven approximately the length of your vehicle in order for the system to reinitialize if: • You switch the ignition on, off and back on. • Your vehicle remains stationary for over two minutes. • The anti-lock brake system is activated. • The traction control system is activated. • When the steering wheel angle information is not available, the side sensing system is not available. The vehicle must be driven at least 492 ft (150 m) above 19 mph (30 km/h) to recover the steering wheel angle information.

E190459 The system provides obstacle distance indication through the information display. As the distance to the obstacle decreases, the indicator blocks illuminate and move toward the vehicle icon. If there is no obstacle detected, the distance indicator blocks show greyed out. When you shift to reverse (R), the side sensing systemprovides audible warnings when your vehicle ismoving and obstacles are detected within 24 in (60 cm) and are inside the driving path of your vehicle. When you stop your vehicle the audible warning stops after two seconds. Note: Visual distance indication remains on when the transmission is in reverse (R). When you shift to drive (D) or any other forward gear, for example, low (L), sport (S) or any forward gear in manual transmission, the side sensing system provides audible and visual distance warnings when your vehicle is moving below a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) and
