230 DRIVING AND OPERATINGThe instrument cluster may have aparking assist display with bars thatshow “distance to object” and objectlocation information for the ParkingAssist system. As the object getscloser, more bars light up and the barschange color from yellow to amberto red.When an object is first detected in therear, one beep will be heard from therear, or both sides of the Safety AlertSeat will pulse two times. When anobject is very close (<0.6 m (2 ft) in thevehicle rear, or <0.3 m (1 ft) in thevehicle front), five beeps will soundfrom the front or rear depending onobject location, or both sides of theSafety Alert Seat will pulse five times.Beeps for FPA are higher pitched thanfor RPA.Backing Warning and ReverseAutomatic BrakingVehicles with Adaptive Cruise Control(ACC) have the Backing Warning andReverse Automatic Braking (RAB)system. The Backing Warning part ofthis system can warn of rear objectswhen backing up at speeds greaterthan 8 km/h (5 mph).The Backing Warning System willbeep once from the rear when apotential object threat is firstdetected, or pulse twice on both sidesof the Safety Alert Seat. When thesystem detects a potential crash,beeps will be heard from the rear,or five pulses will be felt on both sidesof the Safety Alert Seat. There mayalso be a brief, sharp application ofthe brakes.{ WarningThe Backing Warning System onlyoperates at speeds greater than8 km/h (5 mph). It does not detectchildren, pedestrians, bicyclists,animals, or objects below the(Continued)Warning (Continued)bumper or that are too close or toofar from the vehicle. In somesituations, such as at higherbacking speeds, there may not beenough time for the short, sharpapplication of the vehicle brakesystem to occur. To prevent injury,death, or vehicle damage, even withthe Backing Warning System,always check the area around thevehicle and check all mirrors beforebacking.When the vehicle is in R (Reverse),if the system detects the vehicle isbacking too fast to avoid a crash witha detected object behind your vehiclein your path, it may automaticallybrake hard to a stop to help avoid orreduce the harm caused by a backingcrash.
