Parking Aid - Audible: Overview




Parking Aid - Audible

Overview

The parking aid system sounds a warning to alert the driver of stationary objects near the rear bumper when REVERSE is selected. The rear sensors are activated when REVERSE is selected. The parking aid system assists the driver in detecting certain objects while the vehicle moves slowly in REVERSE at speeds of less than 4.8 km/h (3 mph). The parking aid system may not detect moving objects.

The parking aid system is active when the ignition switch is in the RUN position and the transmission in REVERSE. The parking aid system is disabled if a fault is detected in 1 of the 4 sensors, the parking aid speaker, or the PAM (Parking Aid Module). This is indicated by a parking aid disabled warning message in the message center.

The parking aid system is enabled and disabled through the message center, located in the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster).

If a MyKey(R) restricted key is in the ignition cylinder, the parking aid menu is not available in the message center and cannot be deactivated.
