The system does not position the vehicle where I want in

the space

The vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the transmission
(i.e. rolling forward when R [Reverse] is selected)

The transmission is in R (Reverse); the vehicle must be moving
forward to detect a parking space

An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from
aligning the vehicle properly

Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be positioned correctly

The vehicle was pulled too far past the parking space. The system
performs best when you drive the same distance past the parking
space

The tires may not be installed or maintained correctly (i.e. not inflated
correctly, improper size, or of different sizes)

A repair or alteration has changed detection capabilities

A parked vehicle has a high attachment (i.e. salt sprayer, snowplow,
moving truck bed, etc.)

The parking space length or position of parked objects changed after
your vehicle passed

The temperature around your vehicle changes quickly (i.e. driving from
a heated garage into the cold, or after leaving a car wash)

REAR VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING: The rear view camera system is a reverse aid
supplement device that still requires the driver to use it in

conjunction with the interior and exterior mirrors for maximum
coverage.

WARNING: Objects that are close to either corner of the
bumper or under the bumper, might not be seen on the screen

due to the limited coverage of the camera system.

WARNING: Back up as slow as possible since higher speeds
might limit your reaction time to stop the vehicle.
