Parking Aid - Overview: Overview

When the ignition is on and reverse gear is selected, 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. 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 12 km/h (7.5 mph). The rear parking aid system may not detect moving objects.

The parking aid system is disabled if a fault is detected in a parking aid sensor, rear parking aid speaker, parking aid switch, communication network or the PAM. This is indicated by a parking aid disabled warning in the message center.

The parking aid system is disabled using the parking aid switch. Disabling lasts until the switch is pressed again or the ignition is turned off and back on.

If a MyKey® restricted key is in use, the parking aid system cannot be disabled.
