Parking Aids The system sounds an audible warning when obstacles are near either bumper in the following manner: • Objects detected by the front sensors are indicated by a high-pitched tone from the front radio speakers. • Objects detected by the rear sensors are indicated by a lower pitched tone from the rear radio speakers. • The sensing system reports the obstacle which is closest to the front or rear of the vehicle. For example, if an obstacle is 24 inches (60 centimeters) from the front of the vehicle and, at the same time, an obstacle is only 16 inches (40 centimeters) from the rear of the vehicle, the lower pitched tone sounds. • If there are objects located at the same distance in the front and rear of the vehicle, the system sounds the rear warning. For specific information on the reverse sensing portion of the system, refer to that section. ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (If Equipped) WARNING This system is designed to be a supplementary park aid. It may not work in all conditions and is not intended to 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. A E130382 A Coverage area of up to 27 inches (70 centimeters) from the front of the vehicle and about 6-14 inches (15-35 centimeters) to the side of the front end of the vehicle.
