-
Primary Functions: Drives both the Parking Sensor System (audible beeps and visual distance meters) and Low-Speed Braking Control (automatic emergency braking when maneuvering in tight spots between 1 and 6 mph).
-
Detection Range: Scans up to approximately 3.6 feet (110 cm) for front center sensors and 4.9 feet (150 cm) for rear center sensors.

-
Step 2: Press the Parking Sensor Button located on the lower left dashboard panel (icon displaying a "P" with signal waves next to a cone). The green indicator light on the button will illuminate when active.
-
Step 3: To adjust beeper volume, go to your central touchscreen display and select Settings > Vehicle > Driver Assist System Setup > Parking Sensor Beep Volume.
