/Traction Control Systems
Ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear
bumpers help you to avoid colliding with
objects when parking the vehicle. The
system operates only at speeds less than
5 mph.
Detected objects are indicated by audible
beeps. The interval between the beeps
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer
to an object. A distance display in the
instrument cluster also indicates when
objects up to 4 feet in front of the vehicle
are detected.
To turn the system on/off, press the
Parking Assist button (C) next to
the shift lever. The button illuminates
when the system is on.
Note: The system may be disabled if dirt, snow or ice builds up on the
sensors. Keep the vehicle clean for proper operation.
