Parking Aid - Overview

Parking Aid - Audible 

The rear parking aid system sounds a warning tone through the rear audio speakers to alert the driver of stationary objects near the rear bumper when reverse is selected. The rear parking aid system assists the driver in detecting certain objects while the vehicle moves slowly with the transmission in reverse. The rear parking aid system may not detect moving objects.

If equipped, the front parking aid system sounds a warning through the front audio speakers to alert the driver of stationary objects near the front bumper in all transmission gear selections except neutral when the vehicle is moving forward. The front parking aid system may not detect moving objects.

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

The rear parking aid only system is enabled and disabled through the message center located in the IPC. To disable the rear parking aid, remove the check mark from the parking aid selection box using the message center navigation buttons. The rear parking aid remains disabled until it is enabled in the IPC message center.

If the vehicle is equipped with rear parking aid and front parking aid, the parking aid switch on the FCIM "B" is used to disable the rear parking aid and front parking aid instead of the IPC message center. When disabled using the FCIM "B" mounted switch, the parking aid remains disabled for one key cycle, or until the switch is pressed again.

If a MyKey® restricted key is in use, the parking aid menu is not available in the message center and cannot be deactivated.
