Parking Assist
{
Warning
The parking assist makes parking
easier by measuring the distance
between the vehicle and the
obstacles and giving acoustic
signals. It is the driver, however,
who bears full responsibility for
the parking maneuver.
With Rear Parking Assist (RPA),
and if equipped with Front Parking
Assist (FPA), as the vehicle moves
at speeds of less than 11 km/h
(7 mph) the sensors on the bumpers
may detect objects up to 2.3 m (8 ft)
behind and 1.0 m (3 ft) in front of the
vehicle within a zone 25 cm (10 in)
high off the ground and below
bumper level. These detection
distances may be shorter during
warmer or humid weather. Blocked
sensors will not detect objects and
can also cause false detections.
Keep the sensors clean of mud, dirt,
snow, ice, and slush; and clean
sensors after a car wash in freezing
temperatures. Beeps for FPA are
higher pitched than for RPA.
The instrument cluster may have a
parking assist display with bars that
show “distance to object” and object
location information for the Parking
Assist system. As the object gets
closer, more bars light up.
For vehicles with rear view camera,
the information display will show the
symbol
{. As the object gets
closer, the symbol will get bigger
and its color changes from amber
to red.
