NOTE:

The Rear Park Assist System displays the outer

most yellow LED’s at a slightly dimmer level to indicate
that the system is ON.

NOTE:

When an audio tone is indicated by the Rear

Park Assist display the system will MUTE the radio if it
is turned on.

The system can be turned on or off through the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) when the vehicle is in
PARK. Refer to “Personal Settings” in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center section of this manual for
details.

NOTE:

• Ensure that the rear bumper is free of dirt and debris

to keep the system operating properly.

• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could

affect the performance of the system.

If “Service Park Assist System” appears in the EVIC after
making sure the rear bumper is clean please see your
authorized dealer.

BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM (BAS) — IF EQUIPPED

BAS is standard on vehicles equipped with electronic
stability program (ESP). The BAS is designed to optimize
the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency brak-
ing maneuvers. The system applies optimum pressure to
the brakes in emergency braking conditions than might
otherwise be afforded solely by the driver’s braking style.
This can help reduce braking distances. The BAS comple-
ments the antilock brake system (ABS). Applying the
brakes very quickly results in the best BAS assistance. To
receive the benefit of the system, you must apply con-
tinuous braking power during the stopping sequence. Do
not reduce brake pedal pressure.
