Parking Aids
Principle of Operation
 WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in reverse (R) and when using the sensing system. WARNING: The system may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb reflection. Always drive with due care and attention. Failure to take care may result in a crash. WARNING: Traffic control systems, inclement weather, air brakes, external motors and fans may affect the correct operation of the sensing system. This may cause reduced performance or false alerts. WARNING: The system may not detect small or moving objects, particularly those close to the ground. |
Note: If your vehicle has MyKey™, the sensing system cannot be switched off when a MyKey™ is present. See .
Note: Keep the sensors on the bumper or fascia free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors are covered, the system’s accuracy can be affected. Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alerts.
Note: Certain add-on devices installed around the bumper or fascia may create false alerts. For example, large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate brackets, bumper covers or any other device that may block the normal detection zone of the system. Remove the add-on device to prevent false alerts.
Note: When you connect a trailer to your vehicle, the rear parking aid may detect the trailer and therefore provide an alert. Disable the rear parking aid when you connect a trailer to prevent the alert.
The sensing system warns the driver of obstacles within a certain range of your vehicle. The system turns on automatically whenever you switch the ignition on.
You can switch the system off through the touchscreen, information display or from the pop-up message that appears once you shift the transmission into reverse (R). If your vehicle has a parking aid button, you can switch the system off by pressing the button.
If a fault is present in the system, a warning message appears in the information display. See .

Active Park Assist Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Possible Cause |
|---|---|
| The system does not correctly operate. | The system is unable to detect a vehicle, curb or object to park next to, or in-between. This could occur because of sensors not operating correctly, not enough room for your vehicle, or the traction control is off. |
| The system does not search for a parking space. | You may have switched traction control off. |
| The transmission is in reverse (R). Your vehicle must be moving forward to be able to detect a parking space. | |
| The system does not offer a parking space. | There could be blockage on the sensors. For example, snow, ice or large accumulations of dirt. Blocked sensors can affect how the system functions. |
| The sensors in the front or rear bumper could be damaged. | |
| There is not enough room in the parking space for your vehicle to safely park. | |
| There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on the opposite side of the parking space. | |
| The parking space is more than 5 ft (1.5 m) or less than 2 ft (0.5 m) away. | |
| The vehicle speed is greater than 22 mph (35 km/h) for parallel parking or greater than 19 mph (30 km/h) for perpendicular parking. | |
| You recently disconnected or replaced the battery. After you reconnect the battery you must drive your vehicle on a straight road for a short period of time. | |
| The system does not correctly position your vehicle in a parking space. | An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from correctly aligning your vehicle. |
| Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be correctly parked. | |
| Your vehicle stopped too far past the parking space. | |
| The tires may not be correctly installed or maintained. For example, not inflated correctly, improper size, or of different sizes. | |
| A repair or alteration changes the detection capabilities. | |
| A parked vehicle has a high attachment. For example, a salt sprayer, snowplow or moving truck bed. | |
| The parking space length or position of parked objects changes after your vehicle passes the space. | |
| You are using a spare tire or a tire more significantly worn than the other tires. | |
| The temperature around your vehicle quickly changes. For example, driving from a heated garage into cold outside temperature, or after leaving a car wash. |
Rear View Camera
| WARNING: The rear view camera system is a reverse aid supplement device that still requires the driver to use it in conjunction with the interior and exterior mirrors for maximum coverage. WARNING: Objects that are close to either corner of the bumper or under the bumper, might not be seen on the screen due to the limited coverage of the camera system. WARNING: Reverse your vehicle slowly. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING: Use caution when the rear cargo door is ajar. If the rear cargo door is ajar, the camera will be out of position and the video image may be incorrect. All guidelines disappear when the rear cargo door is ajar. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury. WARNING: Use caution when turning camera features on or off when the transmission is not in park (P). Make sure your vehicle is not moving. |
Note: Some vehicles may not come equipped with guidelines.
The rear view camera system provides a video image of the area behind your vehicle.
During operation, lines appear in the display which represent your vehicle’s path and proximity to objects behind your vehicle.
The camera is located on the luggage compartment door.
Using the Rear View Camera System
The rear view camera system displays what is behind your vehicle when you place the transmission in reverse (R).
Note: The reverse sensing system is not effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects.
The system uses three types of guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle:
- Active guidelines (if equipped): Show the intended path of your vehicle when reversing.
- Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path your vehicle is moving in while reversing in a straight line. This can be helpful when backing into a parking space or aligning your vehicle with another object behind you.
- Centerline: Helps align the center of your vehicle with an object (for example, a trailer).
Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R) and the luggage compartment door or liftgate is open, no rear view camera features will display.
Note: When towing, the camera only sees what you are towing.This might not provide adequate coverage as it usually provides in normal operation and some objects might not be seen.In some vehicles, the guidelines may disappear when you connect the trailer tow connector.
The camera may not operate correctly under the following conditions:
- Nighttime or dark areas if one or both reverse lamps are not operating.
- Mud, water or debris obstructs the camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. You can also use the rear washer to clean the camera. See .
- The rear of your vehicle is hit or damaged, causing the camera to become misaligned.
Camera System Settings
The rear view camera system settings can be accessed through the touchscreen. See .
Camera Guidelines
Note: Active guidelines are only available when the transmission is in reverse (R).

Active guidelines are only shown with fixed guidelines. To use active guidelines, turn the steering wheel to point the guidelines toward an intended path.If you change the steering wheel position while reversing, your vehicle might deviate from the original intended path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in and out depending on the steering wheel position.The active guidelines do not display when the steering wheel position is straight.
Always use caution while reversing. Objects in the red zone are closest to your vehicle and objects in the green zone are farther away. Objects are getting closer to your vehicle as they move from the green zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the side view mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both sides and rear of the vehicle.
Obstacle Distance Indicator (If Equipped)
The system will provide an image of your vehicle and the sensor zones. The zones will highlight green, yellow and red when the parking aid sensors detect an object in the coverage area.
Manual Zoom
| WARNING: When manual zoom is on, the full area behind your vehicle may not show. Be aware of your surroundings when using the manual zoom feature. |
