Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit/System Description
The object alarm detection system senses how close the vehicle is to an object. The distance is determined by the 4 ultrasonic sensors located in the rear bumper. The object detection system will notify the driver when backing up or moving forward while parking at speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph). The object detection system will use rear display indicators and the radio speakers for notification. The system can be disabled by pressing the ON/OFF button. The ON/OFF indicator will be ON when the system is OFF. The driver information center (DIC) will also display PARK ASSIST OFF.
