Parking Aids If the transmission is in reverse (R), the front sensing system provides audio warnings when the vehicle is moving and the detected obstacle is moving towards the vehicle. Once the vehicle reaches a standstill condition, the audio warning stops after 2 seconds. Additionally, the system provides obstacle distance indication through the center stack display (if equipped). The distance indication is present when the transmission is in reverse (R). • As the distance to the obstacle decreases (obstacle becomes closer), the indicator blocks illuminate and move towards the vehicle icon. • If there is no obstacle detected, the distance indicator blocks show greyed out. For automatic transmissions, if the gearshift is in neutral (N), the system provides obstacle distance indication through the center stack display (if equipped). The front sensing system provides visual warnings when the vehicle is moving at a speed below 5 mph (8 km/h) and an obstacle is located inside the front or rear sensing detection areas. Once the vehicle reaches a standstill condition, the visual warnings stop after 4 seconds. If the gearshift is in drive (D) or any other forward gear (for example, low (L), sport (S), manual transmissions), the front sensing system provides audio warnings when the vehicle is moving and the system detects an obstacle inside the front sensing detection area. Once the vehicle reaches a standstill condition, the audio warning stops after 2 seconds. Additionally, the system provides distance indication through the center stack display (if equipped). The distance indication is present if the vehicle is moving and an obstacle is located inside the front sensing detection area. Once the vehicle reaches a standstill condition, the visual warnings stop after 4 seconds, unless the detected obstacle is less than 12 in (30 cm) away from the bumper. For specific information on the reverse sensing portion of the system, refer to that section. ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (If Equipped) WARNING Designed to be a supplementary park aid, this system may not work in all conditions. This system cannot replace the driver 's attention and judgment. The driver is responsible for avoiding hazards and maintaining a safe distance and speed, even when the system is in use. Note: The driver is always responsible for controlling the vehicle, supervising the system and intervening if required. Note: The sensors may not detect objects in heavy rain or other conditions that cause disruptive reflections. Note: The sensors may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves. The system detects an available parallel parking space and automatically steers the vehicle into the space (hands-free) while you control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system visually and audibly instructs you to park the vehicle. 155 MKS (), enUSA
