Front/rear park assist (accessory/option)
Front/rear park assist
The park assist system(s) are designed to assist you when driving into parking spaces, garages, etc. They utilize ultrasound
sensors located in the bumpers to measure the distance to a vehicle or other object, or a person who may be close to the
front or rear of the vehicle.
When is park assist active
Front: the system is active from the time the engine is started until the vehicle exceeds a speed of approximately 10 mph
(15 km/h). It is also active when the vehicle is backing up. Front park assist reactivates automatically when the vehicle's
speed goes under 10 mph (15 km/h).
Rear: the system is active when the engine is running and reverse gear is selected.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems will either be activated or deactivated together.
They cannot be used separately.
The indicator light in the button (see the illustration on page 52) will light up to indicate that park assist system(s) are
activated.
When park assist is actively working:
The audio system's volume will be reduced.
An intermittent signal will be audible from the speakers to indicate that you are approaching a person, object, parked
vehicle, etc. The signals begin when the distance between the bumper and the object is:
Rear: approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters)
Front: approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 meters)
