UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 195 CAUTION! • To avoid vehicle damage, the Rear Park Assist should only be used as a parking aid and is unable to recognize every obstacle, including small objects. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors will not be detected when they are in close proximity to the rear of the vehicle. • To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be driven slowly when using the Rear Park Assist, to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that you look over your shoulder when using the Rear Park Assist. NOTE: • Ensure that the rear bumper is free of dirt and debris to keep the system operating properly. • Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of the system. Enabling and Disabling The Rear Park Assist There are times when you may want to disable the Rear Park Assist, such as when towing a trailer. Vehicles Equipped With the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) You can turn the Rear Park Assist ON or OFF through the EVIC. For details, refer to "Personal Settings (CustomerProgrammable Features)" under "Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)" in Section 4. Vehicles Equipped With the Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) You can turn the Rear Park Assist ON or OFF through the CMTC by pressing the left reset button in the instrument cluster. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then press and hold the RESET button for approximately two seconds. 3
