Using Electronic Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the

vehicle set speed.
NOTE:

The Electronic 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 so

it may be preferable to drive without Electronic Speed

Control.

WARNING!

Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your ve-
hicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you
could lose control and have an accident. Do not use
Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads
that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.

PARKSENSE® REAR PARK ASSIST — IF
EQUIPPED

The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist system provides visual

and audible indications of the distance between the rear

fascia and a detected obstacle when backing up, e.g.

during a parking maneuver. Refer to ParkSense® System

Usage Precautions for limitations of this system and

recommendations.
ParkSense® will retain the last system state (enabled or

disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition is

changed to the ON/RUN position.
ParkSense® can be active only when the shift lever/gear

selector is in REVERSE. If ParkSense® is enabled at this

shift lever/gear selector position, the system will remain

active until the vehicle speed is increased to approxi-

mately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. When in REVERSE

and above the system’s operating speed, a warning will

appear within the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
