WARNING!


Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your ve- hicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control and have an accident. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.


PARKSENSE姞 REAR PARK ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED The ParkSense威 Rear Park Assist system provides visual and audible indications of the distance between the rear fascia and a detected obstacle when backing up, e.g. during a parking maneuver. Refer to ParkSense威 System Usage Precautions for limitations of this system and recommendations.


178 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE ParkSense威 will retain the last system state (enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition is changed to the ON/RUN position. ParkSense威 can be active only when the shift lever is in REVERSE. If ParkSense威 is enabled at this shift lever position, the system will remain active until the vehicle speed is increased to approximately 11 mph (18 km/h) or above. The system will become active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to speeds less than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h). 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. 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.
