9234779) - 2016 - crc - 7/30/15
176 Driving and Operating
.
The back of the vehicle is in an
accident, the position and
mounting angle of the camera
can change or the camera can
be affected. Be sure to have the
camera and its position and
mounting angle checked at your
dealer.
.
There are extreme temperature

Parking Assist
If equipped, the Front and Rear
Parking Assist (FRPA) system,
assists the driver with parking and
avoiding objects. FRPA operates at
speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph).
The sensors on the front and rear
bumper detect objects up to 1.2 m
(4 ft) in front of the vehicle, 2.5 m
(8 ft) behind the vehicle, and at least
25 cm (10 in) off the ground and
below liftgate level. This detection
distance may be less during warmer
or humid weather.

Warning
The Parking Assist system does
not detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or that
are too close or too far from the
vehicle. It is not available at
speeds greater than 8 km/h
(5 mph). To prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with
parking assist, always check the
area around the vehicle and
check all mirrors before moving
forward or backing.
How the System Works
When the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse) the front and rear
sensors are automatically turned on.
After the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), the rear sensors are
turned off and the front sensors stay
on until the vehicle is above a
speed of 8 km/h (5 mph). For the
front park assist system to be active
again without shifting into
R (Reverse), the park assist button
on the center stack, forward of the
shift lever, must be pressed. See
Turning the System On and Off
later in this section.
FRPA operates only at speeds less
than 8 km/h (5 mph).
When the vehicle is in N (Neutral),
the system may be active. If the
vehicle is in a car wash, the sensors
may detect objects in the car wash.
See Turning the System On and
Off later in this section to turn the
system off.
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
30 cm (12 in) the beeping is a
continuous tone for five seconds.
