Head Restraints Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.

WARNING!

The head restraints for all occupants must be prop- erly adjusted prior to operating the vehicle or occu- pying a seat. Head restraints should never be ad- justed while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.

Active Head Restraints — Front Seats Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable compo- nents, and vehicles with this equipment can not be readily identified by any markings, only through visual inspection of the head restraint. The head restraint will be split in two halves, with the front half being soft foam and trim, the back half being decorative plastic.

When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the front half of the head restraint extends forward to minimize the gap between the back of the occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is designed to help prevent or reduce the extent of injuries to the driver and front passenger in certain types of rear impacts. Refer to “Occupant Re- straints” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your Ve- hicle” for further information. To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint.

ParkSense姞 Sensors The four ParkSense威 sensors, located in the rear fascia/ bumper, monitor the area behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. The sensors can detect obstacles from approximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 79 in (200 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and orienta- tion of the obstacle. ParkSense姞 Warning Display The ParkSense威 Warning screen will only be displayed if Sound and Display is selected from the Customer- Pro- grammable Features section of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer- Programmable Features)” in “Understanding Your In- strument Panel” for further information.

222 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE The ParkSense威 Warning Display is located in the Instru- ment cluster’s EVIC display. It provides both visual and audible warnings to indicate the distance between the rear fascia/bumper and the detected obstacle.

NOTE: ParkSense威 will MUTE the radio, if on, when the system is sounding an audio tone. Enabling/Disabling ParkSense姞 ParkSense威 can be enabled and disabled through the Customer-Programmable Features section of the EVIC. The available choices are: OFF, Sound Only, or Sound and Display. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center

(EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable Fea- tures)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information. When ParkSense威 is disabled, the instrument cluster will display the “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” message for approximately five seconds. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information. When the

226 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE shift lever is moved to REVERSE and the system is disabled, the EVIC will display the “PARK ASSIST SYS- TEM OFF” message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE. Service The ParkSense姞 Rear Park Assist System When the ParkSense威 Rear Park Assist System is mal- functioning, the instrument cluster will actuate a single chime, once per ignition cycle, and it will display the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” or the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information. When the shift lever is moved to REVERSE and the system has detected a faulted condition, the EVIC will display the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” or the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE. Under this condition, ParkSense威 will not operate.

If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” appears in the EVIC after making sure the rear fascia/bumper is free from snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction, see your authorized dealer. If “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” appears in the EVIC, see your authorized dealer. Cleaning The ParkSense姞 System Clean the ParkSense威 sensors with water, car wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sensors. Otherwise, you could dam- age the sensors. ParkSense姞 System Usage Precautions NOTE: • Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the ParkSense威 system operat- ing properly.

properly. The ParkSense威 system might not detect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it could provide a false indication that an obstacle is behind the fascia/ bumper. • Objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc., must not be placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can result in the system misinterpreting a close object as a sensor problem, causing the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message to be displayed in the EVIC. • On vehicles equipped with a tailgate, ParkSense威 should be disabled when the tailgate is in the lowered or open position and the vehicle is in REVERSE. A lowered tailgate could provide a false indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.

CAUTION!

• ParkSense威 is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize every obstacle, including small ob- stacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily de- tected or not detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors will not be detected when they are in close proximity. • The vehicle must be driven slowly when using ParkSense威 in order to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver looks over his/her shoulder when using ParkSense威.

WARNING!

• Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the ParkSense威 Rear Park Assist Sys- tem. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for pedes- trians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before backing up. You are responsible for safety and must continue to pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

WARNING! (Continued)

• Before using the ParkSense威 Rear Park Assist System, it is strongly recommended that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly is disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is not used for towing. Failure to do so can result in injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles because the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia when the warning display turns on the single flashing arc and sounds the continuous tone. Also, the sensors could detect the ball mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size and shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
