Parking Aid Overview

Parking Aid - Audible

The available parking aid features depend on the vehicle trim level and options selected. The possible audio parking aid configurations are as follows:

  • Rear parking aid
  • Front and rear parking aid
  • Front and rear parking aid, plus active park assist and the side sensing system (also known as flank guard)

The rear parking aid system sounds a warning tone through the rear audio speakers to alert the driver of stationary objects near the rear bumper when the vehicle is in reverse. The rear parking aid system may not detect moving objects.

If equipped, the side sensing system (also known as flank guard) uses the front and rear side sensors to detect and map obstacles that are near the sides of the vehicle. The side sensing system provides a warning tone if an obstacle is detected on the right or left side of the vehicle while the vehicle moves slowly in forward or reverse.

The side sensing system is unavailable when the traction control system is deactivated. The side sensing system may not be available until the vehicle is driven approximately one vehicle length allowing the system to reinitialize after the following conditions:

  • Ignition switched on, off, and back on.
  • Vehicle is stationary for two minutes or more.
  • ABS is activated.
  • Traction control system is activated.

The parking aid system is disabled if a fault is detected in a parking aid system. This is indicated by a parking aid disabled warning message in the message center.

The parking aid system is enabled and disabled through the parking aid switch located in the center stack. The rear parking aid remains disabled for one ignition cycle.

When a MyKey® restricted key is in use, the parking aid system is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.
