Park Assist System

PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
The Park Assist System display activates an audible tone that changes from intermittent to continuous as the final two Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) are illuminated on one side or both sides of the display.

The system detection length from the rear of the vehicle is 0.3 meters to 1.5 meters. This area extends around the rear side of the vehicle.This area extends around the rear side of the vehicle. The system detection height from the ground is 0.2 meters to about 1.5 meters. The radio mutes when the system activates its audible tone.

When the driver selects Reverse or Neutral the system scans for objects behind the vehicle using four sensors located in the rear bumper. Objects can be detected from up to 1.5 meters. A warning display above the rear window provides both visible and audible warnings indicating the range of the object.

The system is active only when the vehicle is in reverse or neutral for vehicle speeds less than 16 Km/h (10 mph). If the vehicles Parking/Emergency Brake is applied, the system is deactivated.

The display contains two sets of yellow and red Light Emitting Diode's (LED's) that the driver can see in the rear view mirror. Each side of the vehicle has its own warning LED's. The system provides a visual warning by illuminating one or more yellow LED's as the vehicle gets closer to the object. As the vehicle continues to approaches the object, one red LED is illuminated and the system emits a series of short beeps. The tone will remain constant and both red LED's are illuminated once the vehicle is within 12 inches (30.5 cm) of the object.

The system can be turned ON or OFF through the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) when the vehicle is in PARK. If the park assist system is turned OFF, a single chime will sound and the EVIC will display the following message "REAR PARK ASSIST OFF", when the vehicle is in reverse.
- Ensure that the rear bumper is free of dirt and debris to keep the system operating properly.
- Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of the system.
- Ensure that the parking brake is not applied.

If "Service Park Assist System" appears in the EVIC after making sure the rear bumper is clean,proceed to diagnose the system using a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information.
