Parking Aid: Overview

The parking aid system is enabled and disabled through the IPC message center menus. Disabling lasts one key cycle.

The rear parking aid system sounds a warning tone through the rear parking aid speaker to alert the driver of stationary objects detected near the rear bumper when reverse gear is selected. The rear parking aid system assists the driver in detecting certain objects while the vehicle moves slowly with the transmission in reverse at speeds of less than 5 km/h (3 mph). The rear parking aid system may not detect moving objects.

If equipped, the front parking aid system sounds a warning through the front parking aid speaker to alert the driver of stationary objects detected near the front bumper in all transmission gear selections except park and neutral. The front parking aid system assists the driver in detecting certain objects while the vehicle moves at speeds of less than 13 km/h (8 mph). The front parking aid system may not detect moving objects.

The parking aid system is disabled if a fault is detected in one of the sensors, the front or rear parking aid speaker, or the PAM. This is indicated by a parking aid disabled warning message in the message center.
