UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 95

NOTE: The Speed Control system maintains speed up

and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills

is normal.

Rear Park Assist Sensors

The four Rear Park Assist 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, in the horizontal direction, from ap-

proximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 55 inches (140 cm)

from the center of the rear fascia/bumper and up to

24 inches (60 cm) from the corners of the rear fascia/

bumper, depending on the location, type and orienta-

tion of the obstacle.

On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur, it

may be preferable to drive without Speed Control.

WARNING!

Speed Control can be dangerous where the system

cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle

could go too fast for the conditions, and you could

lose control and have an accident. Do not use Speed

Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are wind-

ing, icy, snow-covered or slippery.

If several obstacles are detected, the Rear Park Assist

system indicates the nearest obstacle.

The minimum height of a detectable obstacle corre-

sponds to the maximum height of an obstacle that

would clear the underside of the vehicle during the

parking maneuver.

REAR PARK ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED

The Rear Park Assist system provides visual and au-

dible indications of the distance between the rear

fascia/bumper and a detected obstacle when backing

up, e.g. during a parking maneuver. Refer to the “Park

Assist System Usage Precautions” for the limitations of

this system and recommendations.

Rear Park Assist Warning Display

The Rear Park Assist Warning screen is located within

the Uconnect Settings. It provides audible and visual

warnings to indicate the distance between the rear

fascia/bumper and the detected obstacle. Refer to

ЉUconnect SettingsЉ in “Understanding Your Instrument

PanelЉ for further information.

The Rear Park Assist is automatically activated when

the transmission is placed into REVERSE.
