WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in reverse (R) and when using the sensing system.
WARNING: The system may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb reflection. Always drive with due care and attention. Failure to take care may result in a crash.
WARNING: Traffic control systems, inclement weather, air brakes, external motors and fans may affect the correct operation of the sensing system. This may cause reduced performance or false alerts.
WARNING: The system may not detect small or moving objects, particularly those close to the ground.
WARNING: If damage occurs in the immediate area surrounding the sensor, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
WARNING: The parking aid system can only assist you to detect objects when your vehicle is moving at parking speeds. To help avoid personal injury you must take care when using the parking aid system.
WARNING: In cold and severe weather conditions the system may not function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit sensor performance.
WARNING: The system may not function if the sensor is blocked.
Note: If your vehicle has MyKey™, the sensing system cannot be switched off when a MyKey™ is present. See Principle of Operation (page 58).
Note: Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper or fascia and you leave it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alerts.
Note: Certain add-on devices installed around the bumper or fascia may create false alerts. For example, large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate brackets, bumper covers or any other device that may block the normal detection zone of the system. Remove the add-on device to prevent false alerts.
Note: When you connect a trailer to your vehicle, the rear parking aid may detect the trailer and therefore provide an alert. Disable the rear parking aid when you connect a trailer to prevent the alert.
The sensing system warns you of obstacles within a certain range of your vehicle. The system turns on when you switch the ignition on.
You can switch the system off through the information display menu or from the pop-up message that appears once you shift the transmission into reverse (R). See General Information (page 96). If your vehicle has a parking aid button, you can switch the system off by pressing the button. The system turns on when you switch the ignition on.
If a fault is present in the system, a warning message appears in the information display. See Information Messages (page 104).
The rear sensors are only active when the transmission is in reverse (R). As your vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the audible warning increases.
When the obstacle is less than 12 in (30 cm) away, the warning sounds continuously. If the system detects a
stationary or receding object farther than 12 in (30 cm) from the corners of the bumper, the tone sounds for only three seconds. Once the system detects an object approaching, the warning sounds again.
E130178
Coverage area of up to 6 ft (1.8 m) from the rear bumper. There may be decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper.
The system detects certain objects while the transmission is in reverse (R):
(5 km/h) or less.
The system provides audio warnings only when your vehicle is moving or when your vehicle is stationary and the detected obstacle is less than 12 in (30 cm) away from the bumper.
Obstacle Distance Indicator (If Equipped)
The system provides obstacle distance indication through the information display. The distance indicator displays when the transmission is in reverse (R).
The indicator displays:
The front sensors are active when the transmission is in any position other than park (P) and your vehicle is traveling at low speed.
E187330
Coverage area of up to 28 in (70 cm) from the front bumper. The coverage area decreases at the outer corners.
When your vehicle approaches an object, a warning tone sounds. When your vehicle moves closer to an object, the warning tone repeat rate increases. The warning tone sounds continuously when an object is 12 in (30 cm) or less from the front bumper.
You can switch the system off through the information display menu or from the pop-up message that appears once you shift the transmission into reverse (R). See General Information (page 96). If your vehicle has a parking aid button, you can switch the system off by pressing the button.
Obstacle Distance Indicator (If Equipped)
The system provides obstacle distance indication through the information display.
The indicator displays:
If the transmission is in reverse (R), the front sensing system provides audio warnings when your vehicle is moving and the detected obstacle is moving towards your vehicle. Once the vehicle is stationary, the audio warning stops after two seconds. Visual indication is always present in reverse (R).
If the transmission is in drive (D) or any other forward gear (for example, low (L), sport (S) or any forward gear in a manual transmission), the front sensing system provides audio and visual warnings when your vehicle is moving below a speed of
5 mph (8 km/h) and an obstacle is inside the detection area. Once the vehicle is stationary, the audio warning stops after two seconds and the visual indication stops after four seconds. If the obstacles detected are within 12 in (30 cm), the visual indication remains on.
If the transmission is in neutral (N), the system provides visual indication only when your vehicle is moving at 5 mph (8 km/h) or below and an obstacle is
inside the detection area. Once your vehicle is stationary, the visual indication stops after four seconds.

WARNING: Reverse your vehicle slowly. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING: Use caution when turning camera features on or off when the transmission is not in park (P). Make sure your vehicle is not moving.The rear view camera system provides a video image of the area behind your vehicle.
During operation, lines appear in the display which represent your vehicle’s path and proximity to objects behind your vehicle.
E
The rear view camera is on the tailgate.
The rear view camera system displays what is behind your vehicle when you place the transmission in reverse (R).
The system uses three types of guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle:
Note: If the image comes on while the transmission is not in reverse (R), have the system inspected by your authorized dealer.
Note: When towing, the camera only sees what you are towing behind your vehicle. This might not provide adequate coverage as it usually provides in normal operation and you might not see some objects. In some vehicles, the guidelines may disappear once you engage the trailer tow connector.
The camera may not operate correctly under the following conditions:
You can access the rear view camera system settings in the display screen. See Settings (page 393).
Note: Active guidelines and fixed guidelines are only available when the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note: The centerline is only available if active or fixed guidelines are on.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in and out depending on the steering wheel position. The active guidelines do not show when the steering wheel position is straight.
Always use caution while reversing. Objects in the red zone are closest to your vehicle and objects in the green zone are farther away. Objects are getting closer to your vehicle as they move from the green zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the side view mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both sides and rear of your vehicle.
Obstacle Distance Indicator (If Equipped)
Active guidelines Centerline
Fixed guideline: Green zone Fixed guideline: Yellow zone Fixed guideline: Red zone Rear bumper
Active guidelines only show with fixed guidelines. To use active guidelines, turn the steering wheel to point the guidelines toward an intended path. If the steering wheel position changes while reversing, your vehicle might deviate from the original intended path.
The system provides an image of your vehicle and the sensor zones. The zones will highlight green, yellow and red when the parking aid sensors detect an object in the coverage area.

WARNING: When manual zoom is on, the full area behind your vehicle may not show. Be aware of your surroundings when using the manual zoom feature.Note: Manual zoom is only available when the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note: Only the centerline shows when you enable manual zoom.
Selectable settings for this feature are zoom in (+) and zoom out (-). Press the symbol on the camera screen to change the view. The default setting is zoom off.
This allows you to get a closer view of an object behind your vehicle. The zoomed image keeps the bumper in the image to provide a reference. The zoom is only active while the transmission is in reverse (R).
Selectable settings for this feature are on and off. The default setting for the rear camera delay is OFF.
When shifting the transmission out of reverse (R) and into any gear other than park (P), the camera image remains in the display until your vehicle speed reaches
6 mph (10 km/h). This occurs when the rear camera delay feature is on.
