Rear Parking Assist Operation

When the vehicle is first placed into reverse there will be one audible beep through the rear speakers, to indicate that the system is working. If rear speakers are inoperable no audible signals will occur.

When backing up at speed of less than 8 km/h (5 MPH), the system is constantly monitoring for object of interest located behind the vehicle. The rear parking assist system can detect objects greater than 7.6 cm (3 in) wide and 25.4 cm (10 in) tall. The system cannot detect objects below the bumper, underneath the vehicle. If an object is detected within 2.5 m (8 ft) there will be a audible beep notification out of both rear speakers based upon the distance to the object. As the vehicle gets closer to an object, the time between the beeps become shorter.

If the vehicle stops in a range zone the beeping will stop after 5 s. When the distance between the object and the vehicle changes, beeping will start again.

If the rear parking assist system detects a malfunction the single audible beep will not chime when put into reverse along with a DTC being stored. The object alarm module will send a serial data message to the instrument panel cluster to display the SERVICE PARK ASSIST message on the driver information center.
