Parking Aids
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle, the rear parking aid detects the trailer and provides an alert. Disable the parking aid when you connect a trailer to prevent the alert.
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 could block the normal detection zone of the parking aid system. Aftermarket spare tires or spare tire covers mounted to the rear tailgate could cause false alerts from the park aid system. Remove the add-on device to prevent false alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors 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: When using a programmed MyKey you cannot switch this off. See MyKey™ (page 78).
Equipped)
Rear parking sensors detect objects behind your vehicle when in reverse (R).
There is a decreased coverage area at the outer corners.
When using a programmed MyKey, you cannot switch the rear parking aid off.

The rear parking aid sensors are active when your vehicle is in reverse (R) and the vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h).
The sensor coverage area is up to 71 in (180 cm) from the rear bumper.
The rear parking aid detects large objects when you shift into reverse (R) and any of the following occur:
E231381
The rear parking aid sensors are in the rear bumper.
A warning tone sounds when your vehicle approaches an object. As your vehicle moves closer to an object, the rate of the tone increases. The warning tone continuously sounds when an object is 12 in (30 cm) or less from the rear bumper.
If your vehicle remains stationary for a few seconds, the audible warning turns off. If your vehicle moves backward the tone sounds again.
Note: When the parking aid system sounds a tone, the audio system could reduce the set volume.
Equipped)
Front parking sensors detect objects in front of your vehicle.
The front parking aid sensors are active when your vehicle is in any position other than park (P) and the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
The sensor coverage area is up to 27.6 in (70 cm) from the bumper.
If your vehicle is in reverse (R), the front parking aid detects objects when your vehicle is moving at a low speed or an object is moving toward your vehicle and provides an audio warning, for example another vehicle at a low speed. Once your vehicle reaches a stop, the audio warning stops after a few seconds. Visual indication is always active in reverse (R).
If your vehicle is in any forward gear, the front parking aid provides audible warnings and visual indication when your vehicle is moving at a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) or below and the system detects an object within the detection zone. Once your vehicle reaches a stop, the visual indication and audio warning stops after a few seconds.
298
If your vehicle is in neutral (N), the front and rear sensors provide visual indication only when your vehicle is moving below a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) and obstacles are detected inside the detection areas. Once your vehicle reaches a stop, the visual indication and audio warning stops after a few seconds.
E310332
The front parking aid sensors are in the front bumper.
A warning tone sounds when there is an object within 27.6 in (70 cm) from the front bumper. As your vehicle moves closer to an object, the rate of the tone increases.
The warning tone continuously sounds when an object is 12 in (30 cm) or less from the front bumper.
Note: If the detected object is 12 in (30 cm) or less from your vehicle, visual indication remains on.
Equipped)
The front and rear outermost parking aid sensors map objects that are near to the sides of your vehicle.
The sensor coverage is up to 24 in (60 cm) from the sides of your vehicle.
The side parking aid may not function if:
Note: If you switch traction control off, the side sensing system also turns off.
To reinitialize the system, drive the length of your vehicle.
The side parking aid does not detect an object that is moving toward the side of your vehicle, for example another vehicle moving at a low speed, if it does not pass a front or rear parking aid sensor.
If your vehicle is in neutral (N), the side sensing system provides visual indication only when your vehicle is moving below
7 mph (12 km/h) and there is a front or rear park aid obstacle detected, and the side obstacle is within 24 in (60 cm) from the side of your vehicle. Once your vehicle reaches a stop, the visual indication stops after a few seconds.

E310321
The side parking sensors are in the front and rear bumpers.
When the side parking aid detects an object within the coverage area and the driving path of your vehicle, an audible warning sounds. As your vehicle moves closer to the object, the rate of the tone increases.
E310320
The system provides object distance indication through the information display.
• As the distance to the object decreases, the indicator blocks illuminate and move toward the vehicle icon.
• If there is no object detected, the distance indicator blocks are grey.
Visual indication remains on when the transmission is in reverse (R). When you stop your vehicle, visual indication turns off after four seconds.
If the parking aids are not available, the side distance indicator blocks do not display.

If a fault is present in the parking aids, a warning message appears in the instrument cluster or the information and entertainment display.
