Driving and operating 121

When the vehicle is in R, the system

may be active. If the vehicle is in a car

wash, the sensors may detect objects

in the car wash.

High-toned beeps from the front

speakers are for objects detected

near the front bumper. Low-toned

beeps from the rear speakers are for

objects detected near the rear

bumper.

The interval between the beeps

becomes shorter as the vehicle gets

closer to the obstacle. When the

distance is less than 12 inch the

beeping is a continuous tone for

five seconds.

To be detected, objects must be at

least 10 inch off the ground and below

hatch level. Objects must also be

within 4 ft. in front of the vehicle and

5 ft. from the rear bumper. This

distance may be less during warmer

or humid weather.

Object detection on front and

rear

In general, if objects are detected at

the same time near both the front and

rear bumpers while backing up, the

beeps only sound to indicate that

objects are close to the rear bumper.

However, if an object comes within

1 ft. of the front bumper while the

vehicle is backing up and at the same

time there is another object further

than 1 ft. from the rear bumper, then

the beeps only sound to indicate the

object that is closer to the front

bumper.

Activation and deactivation

Press r on the overhead console to

activate the system.

An LED next to the park assist button

lights up.

Press r again to deactivate the

system.

The LED next to the park assist button

turns off.

After the system has been

deactivated, a message in the Driver

Information Centre (DIC) is displayed

for a short time.

Ultrasonic parking assist defaults to

the on setting each time the vehicle is

started.

Fault

When the system does not work

properly, an error message is

displayed in the DIC.

The following conditions could affect

the system's performance:

■ The driver has disabled the system.

■ The ultrasonic sensors are not

clean. Keep the vehicle's bumpers

free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and

slush.

■ The park assist sensors are

covered by frost or ice. Frost or ice

can form around and behind the

sensors and may not always be

seen; this can occur after washing

the vehicle in cold weather. The

message may not clear until the

frost or ice has melted.
