NOTE: The Speed Control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills
is normal.
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.
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.
The Rear Park Assist is automatically activated when
the transmission is placed into REVERSE.
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.
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 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
Uconnect Settings in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel for further information.
