Parking Aids
To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in reverse (R) and when using the sensing system.
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.
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.
The system may not detect small or moving objects, particularly those close to the ground.
Note: Certain add-on devices installed around the bumper or fascia may create false beeps. 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.
Note: Keep the sensors, located 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 alarms. See your authorized technician.
Note: When a trailer is connected to your vehicle, the rear parking aid may detect the trailer and therefore provide warnings.
Disable the rear parking aid when a trailer is connected to prevent these warnings.
Note: The sensing system cannot be turned off when a MyKey is present. See Principle of Operation (page 63).
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.
When receiving a detection warning, the radio volume reduces to a predetermined level. After the warning goes away, the radio volume returns to the previous level.
The sensing system can be switched off through the information display menu or from the pop-up message that appears once you shift the transmission into reverse (R). See General Information (page 113).
If a fault is present in the system, a warning message appears in the information display and you cannot switch the system on through the pop-up message. See Information Messages (page 129).
The rear sensors are only active when the transmission is in reverse (R). As your vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the audible warning increases.
When the obstacle is less than 12 in (30 cm) away, the warning sounds continuously. If the system detects a
stationary or receding object farther than 12 in (30 cm) from the corners of the bumper, the tone sounds for only three seconds. Once the system detects an object approaching, the warning sounds again.

Coverage area of up to 6 ft (1.8 m) from the rear bumper. There may be decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper.
The system detects certain objects while the transmission is in reverse (R) :
(5 km/h) or less.
The system provides audio warnings only when your vehicle is moving or when your vehicle is stationary and the detected obstacle is less than 12 in (30 cm) away from the bumper.
Obstacle Distance Indicator (If Equipped)
The system provides obstacle distance indication through the display screen. See Rear View Camera (page 236).
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.
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.
Reverse your vehicle as slow as possible, higher speeds may limit your reaction time to stop your
vehicle.
Use caution when the tailgate is ajar. If the tailgate is ajar, the camera will be out of position and the video
image may be incorrect. All guidelines disappear when the tailgate is ajar. Some vehicles may not come equipped with guidelines.
Use caution when turning camera features on or off when the transmission is not in park (P). Make
sure your vehicle is not moving.
The rear view camera system displays what is behind your vehicle when you shift the transmission into reverse (R).
During operation, lines appear in the display that represents the path of your vehicle and proximity to objects behind it.
236
The rear view camera is located on the tailgate.
The system uses three types of guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle:
Active guidelines: Show the intended path of your vehicle when reversing.
Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path your vehicle is moving 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 tailgate is ajar, no rear view camera features are displayed.
Note: If the image does not turn off while the transmission is not in reverse (R) and you are driving over a speed of 5 mph
(8 km/h), have the system inspected by an authorized dealer.
Note: When towing, the camera only sees what is being towed behind your vehicle. 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 once the trailer tow connector is engaged.
The camera may not operate correctly under the following conditions:
Nighttime or dark areas if the 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.
The camera is misaligned due to damage to the rear of your vehicle.
Note: Active guidelines and fixed guidelines are only available when the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note: The centerline is only available if Active or Fixed guidelines are on.
Note: Some vehicles may not come equipped with guidelines.

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 your vehicle.
