Chrysler 2009 Automobile User Manual


 
To Accelerate For Passing
Press the accelerator as you would normally. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Electronic Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the
vehicle set speed.
NOTE: The Electronic Speed Control system maintains
speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so
it may be preferable to drive without Electronic Speed
Control.
REAR PARK ASSIST IF EQUIPPED
The Rear Park Assist provides visible and audible indi-
cations of the distance between the rear fascia and the
detected obstacle when backing up. Refer to the Warning
Section and Note Section for limitations of this system
and recommendations.
The Rear Park Assist will remember the last system state
(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle when
the ignition is changed to the ON position.
The Rear Park Assist can be active only when the shift
lever is in REVERSE. If the Rear Park Assist is enabled at
this shift lever position, the system will be active until the
vehicle speed is increased to approximately 11 mph
(18 km/h) or above. The system will be active again if the
vehicle speed is decreased to speeds less than approxi-
mately 10 mph (16 km/h).
Rear Park Assist Sensors
The four Rear Park Assist Sensors, located in the rear
fascia, monitor the area behind the vehicle that is within
the sensors’ field of view.
