DTC B094C
Circuit/System Description
B218R Side Object Sensor Module - Right communicates on a private communication data bus with the B218L
Side Object Sensor Module - Left. The B218L Side Object Sensor Module - Left is the master and can set this
code if the B218R Side Object Sensor Module - Right determines it has an internal fault. DTC U18A6 will set if
the left module is unable to communicate with the right side module.
Ignition ON.
The B218R Side Object Sensor Module - Right has detected an internal malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
The modules are not identical and cannot be swapped from side to side.
This DTC may be stored as a history DTC without affecting the operation of the B218R Side Object
Sensor Module - Right.
Do not replace B218R Side Object Sensor Module - Right based only on DTC B094C being set in
history.
If DTC B094C is set as current, replace the B218R Side Object Sensor Module - Right.
B218R Side Object Sensor Module - Right communicates on a private communication data bus with the
B218L Side Object Sensor Module - Left. If programming is needed for module replacement, you must
program B218L Side Object Sensor Module - Left which will then in turn program B218R Side Object
Sensor Module - Right.

DTC B1011 00
Circuit/System Description
The frontview camera module permanently monitors the serial data bus for error messages. When a malfunction
is detected by the frontview camera module, the system will be disabled and an error message will be stored in
the frontview camera module disable history buffer which is used to store information about the front camera
features that are disabled.
Ignition ON
Frontview camera enabled
Diagnostic Aids
The frontview camera module disable history buffers are used to store information about the frontview camera
module features that are disabled. The buffers will only update if the disable condition changes.
Example: If the data received from the steering wheel angle sensor is Invalid across many ignition cycles then it
will only appear in 1 history buffer and not all history buffers. If this condition is the current reason why the
frontview camera module is disabled then it will be set in frontview camera module disable history buffer 1. If a
new reason occurs, such as vehicle speed validity is invalid, then the invalid steering wheel angle sensor fault
will shift into disable history buffer 2 and vehicle speed validity invalid will be in disable history buffer 1. Since
there are only 4 disable history buffers, the invalid steering wheel angle sensor will age out if 4 other disable
reasons occur since the last invalid steering wheel angle sensor event occurred. Frontview camera module
disable history buffer 1 contains the current reason that one of the frontview camera module features is disabled.
The frontview camera module disable history buffers can display the following values:

DTC P15F6
Front Object Detection Control Module Torque Request Signal Message Counter Incorrect
Circuit/System Description
The cruise control vehicle distance sensor module is constantly sending a serial data message to the engine
control module requesting engine speed or torque reduction. The engine control module sets DTC P15F6 when
it detects a discrepancy in the structure of the message causing the integrity of the message to be questioned. An
intermittent fault in the serial data circuits will cause the engine control module to set DTC P15F6.
Engine running.
The engine control module detects that the engine speed and torque modification messages from the cruise
control vehicle distance sensor module are either corrupted or intermittently missing.
The cruise control vehicle distance sensor module sends a serial data message to display the appropriate
indicator message
The cruise control vehicle distance sensor module features are unavailable.
Diagnostic Aid
This is an informational DTC set by the engine control module. It is set to provide an indication that the cruise
control vehicle distance sensor module will not be able to perform as intended. Diagnose any other DTCs first.
NOTE: During normal diagnostic and/or repair verification technicians may find that a
"Service Adaptive Cruise Control" message may be displayed by the cruise
control vehicle distance sensor module. Do not replace the cruise control
vehicle distance sensor module for this condition.
If the Service Driver Assist System message is on with no DTCs set, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the key from the ignition, open and close the driver's door to turn off retained accessory power,
and wait 60 seconds.
2. Ignition ON, if the Service Driver Assist message is still present, operate the vehicle at speeds greater
than 15 km/h (10 mph) to complete the self test. The cruise control vehicle distance sensor module should
request the message to turn OFF.
3. If the telltales remain ON with no DTCs set after the drive cycle, disconnect the battery for at least 60
seconds then reconnect the battery.
4. Operate the vehicle at speeds greater than 40 km/h (25 mph), the cruise control vehicle distance sensor
module should request all telltale indicators to turn OFF.

Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The forward collision alert system is controlled by the frontview camera module mounted on the windshield.
The system is designed to detect vehicles directly ahead, within a distance of approximately 60 meters (197 ft).
The forward collision alert system operates at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). When the system detects a
vehicle in the path ahead, the green vehicle ahead alert indicator in the driver information center is illuminated.
When approaching another vehicle too rapidly, the collision alert symbol will flash and the radio will beep or
the haptic seat will pulse, depending on user configuration. The red collision alert display will stay continuously
illuminated if the vehicle ahead remains much too close. These actions are requested by the frontview camera
module via serial data. The forward collision alert switch is part of the left steering wheel controls and is used to
adjust the timing sensitivity of the front collision alert system.
Diagnostic Aids
Certain factors will affect the operation of the forward collision alert system. Forward collision alert is intended
to detect vehicles. It is not intended to warn the driver of any objects that are not detected as a vehicle such as
pedestrians, animals, signs, guard rails, bridges, construction barrels or other stationary or slow moving objects.
In few cases the camera may inadvertently detect a vehicle that is not in the path ahead, or the system may
occasionally provide unrealistic alerts. This could occur with a turning vehicle ahead, guard rails, traffic signs,
or other stationary objects. This is normal operation, the vehicle does not need service. When the system is
operating properly, the green vehicle ahead alert indicator will illuminate on the vehicle direction display when
the system detects a vehicle in the path ahead. This indicates that all of the required operating conditions are
met. The green vehicle ahead alert indicator will not appear when the system is having difficulty seeing other
vehicles on the road. This can occur if the front view camera is blocked with mud, dirt, snow, ice, slush, if the
windshield is damaged, or when weather limits visibility, such as while driving in fog, rain, or snow conditions.
This is normal operation, the vehicle does not need service.
Additionally, the Front View Camera Disable History can give useful hints about what affected the operation of
the forward collision alert system. For the Front View Camera Disable History, refer to DTC B1011.

Circuit/System Description
The ultrasonic parking assist system is designed to identify and notify the driver of an object in the vehicle's
path when moving reverse at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 MPH). The distance and location of the object is
determined by 4 object sensors, located in the rear bumper. The parking assist system will notify the driver
using an audible signal through the radio.
Diagnostic Aids
For Symptom Byte 21 the module only run diagnostic when the vehicle is driven greater than 40 km/h (25
MPH). Therefore, even with clean sensor with no obstruction (i.e. snow or ice melted off) drive the vehicle
greater than 40 km/h (25 MPH).
The following is a list of reasons this failure type byte 21 might have set:
One or more of the sensors may be blocked by snow, mud, ice, or other debris. This might happen after
going through a car wash in cold weather.
Silicone insulator surrounding sensor maybe missing, cut, or twisted.
Improperly installed sensor, sensor maybe be crooked due to a tight wire harness.
One or more of the sensors may be scratched or the paint maybe chipped.
Excessive paint thickness on a sensor may cause an excessive sensor ring time. When replacing or
refinishing a sensor, do not apply an excessive amount of paint or clear coat.

Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
When the transmission is placed into REVERSE, a 12 V signal is sent to the rearview camera indicating that
camera operation is requested. Ignition voltage and ground are supplied to the rearview camera. The rearview
camera sends video information to the radio through a video signal + and a video signal - circuit. A grounded
shielding also wraps the video signal circuits to reduce electronic interference which may degrade the video
signal and cause a distorted or otherwise degraded image.
Diagnostic Aids
A poor video image can be caused by ice, snow, and mud build-up on the lens of the rearview camera. Also,
extreme lighting conditions can affect performance, such as operating in the dark or with bright sunlight shining
on the camera. Extreme high or low temperatures can also affect the image quality. An open in the shield of the
video signal circuit can also cause a distorted screen.

Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The side object sensor modules are located on each side of the vehicle behind the rear fascia and are not directly
visible from outside the vehicle. The sensors use radar to determine the presence of objects nearby. The left side
object sensor is the master that communicates on serial data. There is a private communication network between
the left and right sensors. The scan tool can communicate only with the left sensor.
Side blind zone alert is active when the vehicle is out of park or the parking brake is off on manual transmission
vehicles. If a vehicle is detected in the side blind zone, the warning symbols will turn illuminate on the
appropriate side. The warning symbols will vary brightness based on the ambient light conditions.
When an object is detected in the left side blind zone, the side object sensor module sends a message to the right
sensor through serial data. The right sensor then supplies voltage to illuminate the visual indicator on the left
side outside rear view mirror. When an object is detected in the right side blind zone, the right side object sensor
will supply a voltage to illuminate the visual indicator on the right side outside rear view mirror. Each sensor is
supplied B+ and ground. Ground is provided through the outside rearview mirror harness.
Diagnostic Aids
When the ignition is turned on, or the engine is started, both outside rearview mirror displays will briefly
come on to indicate that the system is operating.
The conditions for disabling the side blind zone alert system are captured by DTCs. The drivers
information center will display Service Side Detection System if one of the sensors has failed.
The side blind zone system will be disabled if the driver has selected the Off mode through vehicle
personalization menus. The selected mode is retained over ignition cycles. A driver information center
message stating that the side blind zone system is off shall be displayed and the outside mirror indicators
will be OFF.
The side blind zone may be temporarily unavailable if a blockage condition exists (i.e. mud/snow buildup
in front of the sensor). A driver information message "Side Detection System Unavailable" will be
displayed. The side blind zone system transitions back to the normal operating state when the blockage is
removed. Bumper sticks, fascia damage, labels, and heavy rain storms may also cause this condition. The
blockage determination is performed with the vehicle in a drive gear.
Because the sensors are NOT identical, they must NOT be swapped from one side of the vehicle to the
other in an attempt to isolate a concern. Sensors should also NOT be swapped from one vehicle to
another.
The side blind zone system is designed to ignore stationary objects; however, the system may
occasionally detect guard rails, signs, trees, shrubs, or other stationary objects as an object in the blind
zone. This is normal system operation and does not require service.
The side blind zone system may indicate an object in the blind zone if a trailer is attached to the vehicle,
or a bicycle or object is extending out to either side of the vehicle. This is normal operation and does not
require service.

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The lane departure warning is controlled by the frontview camera module mounted on the windshield. The lane
departure warning is enabled and disabled through a switch located at the instrument panel. When enabled, the
vehicle direction camera control module will illuminate the indicator located in the switch.
When the system is operating and can detect the lane markings, the vehicle direction camera control module
will request via serial data communications that the instrument cluster illuminate the green lane departure ready-
to-assist indicator. If the frontview camera module detects that the vehicle has crossed a lane marking without
the turn signal being used, the module will request that the instrument cluster flash the yellow lane departure
warning indicator. An audible warning will also sound three times when the yellow instrument cluster indicator
is flashing.
Diagnostic Aids
Certain factors will affect the operation of the lane departure warning system. When the system is operating
properly, the green lane departure indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster. This indicates that all of
the required operating conditions to permit lane departure warning have been met. The green lane departure
indicator will not appear when the system is having difficulty seeing the lines on the road or if the view of the
camera on the windshield is blocked with mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush, if the windshield is damaged, or when
weather limits visibility, such as while driving in fog, rain, or snow conditions. This is normal operation, the
vehicle does not need service. Additionally, lane departure warnings may occasionally occur in a properly
operating vehicle due to tar marks, shadows, cracks in the road, or other road imperfections. This is normal
system operation and the vehicle does not require service. The driver information center may also display
LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE due to the temporary conditions listed above.

Front View Camera Module Calibration.
The calibration procedure will start automatically after SPS programming is complete. During this time the
Lane Departure Warning amber indicator will illuminate.
Calibration
The calibration process for the front view camera system is necessary when a front view camera module is
replaced by a new one. This process shall not be required when only replacing the windshield and the front view
camera module has been mounted again properly. This process shall be completed within 3-5 minutes when the
correct driving conditions are met. If conditions are not met correct, the front view camera module shall
continuously run the service point calibration until successfully completed. This process shall work across
ignition cycles and shall not be required to be re-initialized at start up. If the Lane Departure Warning Switch is
pressed during calibration, the indictor will flash momentarily and then stay out - this is normal operation.
To calibrate the front camera, operate the vehicle in the following conditions until the calibration is complete:
Clean windshield.
Avoid lane changes.
Maintain vehicle speeds between 56-90 km/h (35-56 MPH).
Ensure the road contains visible references (well defined lane markings, curbs, etc.).
Once the procedure is complete, the amber indicator will turn off. Shortly after the green ready to assist light
should turn on as long as all conditions are met for normal operation. The system is then ready to assist.
If Slow to Calibrate
One or more of the following conditions may increase the length of time required to complete the self-
calibration procedure:
Heavy traffic
Stop and go traffic
Mountain roads
Curves in roadway
Poor contrast lane markings
Botts' Dots type lane markings
Operating the vehicle speed is greater than 90 km/h (56 MPH)

No Calibration
The lane departure warning system is a convenience feature of the front view camera that issues a warning
when the system detects that the vehicle has unintentionally crossed a lane marking. The front view camera is
located behind the windshield, looking out at the road ahead and detecting any lane markings. When the vehicle
unintentionally leaves a detected lane, a visual and audible alert is given to the driver.
The camera detects visual queues such as lane markings. When it is determined that the vehicle has
unintentionally moved outside of the lane, a visual and audible warning is given to the driver. The front view
camera module receives an input from the lane departure warning switch and controls the lane departure
warning switch indicator output. The front view camera module also communicates via serial data with the
instrument cluster and radio to request visual and audible alerts.
The lane departure warning switch provides an input to the front view camera module to turn the lane departure
warning system ON and OFF. The front view camera module provides a signal voltage to the normally open
momentary switch. When the switch is pressed, the signal circuit is pulled to ground, indicating to the front
view camera module that the system has been requested to turn ON or OFF. The lane departure warning switch
also contains the lane departure warning switch indicator, which is controlled by the front view camera module
to indicate the ON and OFF status of the lane departure warning system. When the system has been enabled by
the lane departure warning switch, the front view camera module applies ground to the switch indicator and
illuminates the LED. The location of the lane departure warning switch can vary with different vehicles. For the
exact location please refer to the user's manual.
Instrument Cluster
The vehicle direction display contains green and amber lane departure warning indicators. These indicate to the
driver the current status of the lane departure warning system and are controlled via serial data by the front view
camera module. When the vehicle speed is above 56 km/h (35 MPH) and the system has detected the required
lane markings and is ready to assist, the green indicator will be illuminated on the vehicle direction display. If
the vehicle has unintentionally left the lane, the amber indicator will flash.
Radio
The radio controls the audible alert for the lane departure warning. If the vehicle has unintentionally left the
lane, the radio will command three beeps as an audible alert to the driver.
Off State: The system has been turned off by the driver, using the lane departure warning switch. The lane
departure warning indicator will not be illuminated.
Not Ready To Assist: The system is enabled and the lane departure warning indicator is illuminated, but
not ready to assist when any of the following conditions is true:
Vehicle speed is less than 56 km/h (35 MPH). The system is designed to function at speeds greater
than 56 km/h (35 MPH).
The system cannot detect lane markings. This may be because there are no lane markings, as on a
country road or that the lane markings cannot be determined due to snow, rain, or other driving
conditions.
The windshield area in front of the camera or the camera lens is blocked by fog, dirt, damage to the
windshield or other elements that may prevent the camera from detecting lane markings.
Ready To Assist: The system is enabled and ready to warn of the unintentional lane crossing. The system
is ready to assist when the green lane departure warning indicator is illuminated on the vehicle direction
display.
When one of the following conditions are met, the system will not give alerts:
The correct turn signal is activated. An activated turn signal is interpreted as an intentional lane
crossing.
The operator makes an intentional steering maneuver.
The front view camera module can command the driver information center to display the various messages to
alert the driver of a system concern or status information. For detailed information about the possible messages
please refer to the user's manual.
The forward collision alert system is a convenience feature of the front view camera that issues a warning to the
driver when a potential collision risk exists. The front view camera is located behind the windshield, looking
out at the road ahead and detecting vehicles directly ahead, within a distance of approximately 60 meters (197
ft). The forward collision alert system is always active and operates at speeds above 40 kph (25 mph). When the
system detects a vehicle in the path ahead, the green vehicle ahead indicator in the vehicle direction display is
illuminated. When approaching another vehicle too rapidly, the collision alert symbol will flash in the vehicle
direction display. Simultaneously an audible alert sounds. Forward collision alert does not warn the driver of
any objects that are not detected as a vehicle, like e.g. pedestrians, animals, signs, guard rails, bridges,
construction barrels or other stationary or slow moving objects. The forward collision alert timing sensitivity to
control the distance to the vehicle ahead can be set using the forward collision alert switch in the left steering
wheel controls.
In some cases the camera may detect a vehicle that is not in the path ahead, or the system may occasionally
provide unrealistic alerts. This could respond to a turning vehicle ahead, guard rails, traffic signs, or other
stationary objects. This is normal operation, the vehicle does not need service. Forward collision alert may
sometimes set unnecessary alerts to turning vehicles, vehicles in other lanes, objects that are not vehicles, or
shadows. These alerts are normal operation and the vehicle does not need service.
The camera detects vehicles in front of the host vehicle. The front view camera module requests the green
vehicle ahead alert indicator in the vehicle direction display ON via serial data when the front view camera
system has detected a vehicle in the driving path ahead. The front view camera module also communicates via
serial data with the driver information center and the radio to request visual and audible alerts.
The forward collision alert switch provides an input to the front view camera module to select the alert timing
sensitivity when approaching another vehicle too rapidly. The front view camera module provides a signal
voltage to the normally open switch. When the switch is pressed, the signal circuit is pulled to ground,
indicating to the front view camera module that the system has been requested to change the alert timing
sensitivity. The first button press shows the current alert timing setting on the driver information center. With
every button press, the alert timing sensitivity is changed. The current alert timing setting will be maintained
until it is changed. The preset alert timing setting is displayed in the top line of the driver information center.
The position of the forward collision alert switch can vary with different vehicles. For the exact position please
refer to the user's manual.
Instrument Cluster
The Vehicle direction display contains the green vehicle ahead indicator, which indicates to the driver that the
Front View Camera system has detected a vehicle in the driving path ahead and is controlled via serial data.
When approaching another vehicle too rapidly, the collision alert symbol will flash in the Vehicle direction
display. The red Front collision alert display will stay continuously illuminated if the vehicle ahead remains
much too close.
Radio
The radio controls the audible alert for the forward collision alert system. If the host vehicle is approaching
another vehicle too rapidly, the radio will command an audible alert to the driver.
The front view camera module can command the driver information center to display the various messages to
alert the driver of a system concern or status information. For detailed information about the possible messages
please refer to the user's manual.
The rear vision camera system consists of a video camera located at the rear of the vehicle and the navigation
radio.
When the transmission is placed into REVERSE, a 12 volt signal is sent to the rear vision camera by the body
control module (BCM). This signal indicates to the camera that the vehicle is in reverse and image display is
requested. The rear vision camera receives ignition voltage and a constant ground to power the camera. Video
signal + and video signal - circuits carry the video image from the rear vision camera to the navigation radio.
Additionally, the video signal circuits are shielded to prevent any interference which may lead to a loss of video
signal resolution and a degraded video image. The shield is provided a ground path by the rear vision camera.
The following conditions may cause a degraded rear vision camera image:
If a malfunction is detected in the system, Service Rear Vision Camera may be displayed on the navigation
radio as an indicator to the customer that a problem exists that requires service.
OBJECT DETECTION DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE, UFT)
The side blind zone alert system is a feature that utilizes two side object sensor modules to provide enhanced
customer convenience by sensing and reporting to the driver that an object is present in one of the driver's side
blind zones. This is communicated to the driver by illuminating an icon on the left or right side view mirror,
depending on what side of the vehicle the object is detected. This lane change assist system is radar based
system in which the sensors transmit and receives energy that is reflected from external objects and used to
determine if that object is an object of interest. Although this system is intended to help drivers avoid lane
change crashes, it does not replace driver vision and therefore should be considered a lane change aid.
The side object sensor modules are located on each side of the vehicle behind the rear fascia and are not directly
visible from outside the vehicle. The sensors use radar to determine the presence of objects nearby. The left side
object sensor is the master that communicates on serial data. There is a private communication network between
the left and right sensors. The scan tool is able to communicate only with the left sensor.
When an object is detected in the left side blind zone, the side object sensor module sends a message to the right
sensor through serial data. The right sensor then supplies voltage to illuminate the visual indicator on the left
side outside rear view mirror. When an object is detected in the right side blind zone, the right side object sensor
will supply a voltage to illuminate the visual indicator on the right side outside rear view mirror. Each sensor is
supplied B+ and ground.
The outside rearview mirrors contain an icon that is backlit with high intensity, amber-colored LED's located on
the mirror surface. The display brightness adapts to day/night conditions. The side blind zone alert indicator
icon in the left or right outside rearview mirror is illuminated if the left or right side object sensor module
detects a vehicle in the side blind zone to inform the driver that there is a vehicle driving in the blind zone.
The side blind zone alert system shall detect and report "objects of interest" on either side of the vehicle, within
a specified "blind spot" zone. The system is designed to alert the driver, with a visual display placed on the side
view mirror, to the presence of objects of interest that may not be visible in the inside rearview mirror and
outside rear view mirrors. Although this system is intended to help drivers avoid lane change crashes, it does
not replace driver vision and therefore should be considered a lane change aid. Even with the side blind zone
alert system, the driver must check carefully for objects outside of the reporting zone before changing lanes. In
the event that the system senses a malfunction through its diagnostic routines, the system will be disabled and
the driver will be visually notified.
When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system is
operating. The warning symbols will vary brightness based on the ambient light conditions. Side blind zone
alert is active when the vehicle is out of park or the parking brake is off on manual transmission vehicles. When
the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving forward, an amber warning symbol will light up
in the appropriate outside mirror. This indicates that it may be unsafe to change lanes. If the driver then
activates the turn signal, the amber warning symbol starts flashing as an extra warning not to change lanes.
The system is designed to detect objects of interest as small as a 125cc motorcycle with rider. The detection
zone starts at the outside rearview mirror and extends out to 3.5 m (11 ft) at the back corner of the vehicle and
5m (16 ft) behind the vehicle at a height of 0.5 m (1.5 ft) to 2.0 m (6 ft) above the ground. The side blind zone
system does not detect stationary objects such as guardrails, posts, curbs, walls, berms, bridges, or parked
vehicles.
If the vehicle is towing a trailer or has an object such as a bicycle rack attached to the rear of the vehicle, the
side blind zone system may not function properly and the indicators may illuminate intermittently or remain
illuminated all the time. The driver information center may display "SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM
UNAVAILABLE".
Foul weather may affect the operation of the side blind zone system. Occasional missed alerts can occur under
normal circumstances and will increase in wet conditions. The number of missed alerts will increase with
increased rainfall or road spray. Heavy rainfall, as well as mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush build-up on the rear
fascia, can completely disable the system. The warning symbols will vary brightness based on the ambient light
conditions.
This message indicates that the system has been disabled through the driver information center. Refer to the
vehicle owners manual for instructions on how to set personalization options on the driver information center.
This message indicates that the system requires service. When the message is displayed, the indicators may
remain illuminated at all times, notifying the driver that the side blind zone system should not be relied upon
when changing lanes. Check vehicle for DTCs to determine the cause of this notification.
This message indicates that the system has been temporarily disabled because the sensor is blocked or can
otherwise not accurately detect vehicles or objects. Verify there is no damage to rear fascia or there are any
bumper stickers that may interfere with the radar signals. Ask the customer if any of the following
circumstances were present when the system became unavailable: towing a trailer, having a bike rack attached,
mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush build-up on the rear fascia, heavy rainfall, or excessive road spray.
OBJECT DETECTION DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (WITH LANE CHANGE ASSIST, UKC)
The lane change alert system is an advanced side blind zone alert feature that utilizes the side object sensor
modules that are also used for rear cross traffic alert. The lane change alert system is designed to provide
enhanced customer convenience by sensing and reporting to the driver that an object is present in one of the
driver's side blind zones, or that a highway licensable vehicle is rapidly approaching the vehicle in one of the
adjacent lanes. This is communicated to the driver by illuminating an icon on the left or right side view mirror,
depending on what side of the vehicle the object is detected. The lane change alert system is radar based system
in which the sensors transmit and receives energy that is reflected from external objects and used to determine if
that object is an object of interest. Although this system is intended to help drivers avoid lane change crashes, it
does not replace driver vision and therefore should be considered a lane change aid.
Lane Change Alert System Components
The side object sensor modules are located on each side of the vehicle behind the rear fascia and are not directly
visible from outside the vehicle. The sensors use radar to determine the presence of objects nearby. The left side
object sensor is the master that communicates on serial data. There is a private communication network between
the left and right sensors. The scan tool is able to communicate only with the left sensor.
When an object is detected in the left side blind zone or approaching in the left side lane change alert zone, the
side object sensor module sends a message to the right sensor through serial data. The right sensor then supplies
voltage to illuminate the visual indicator on the left side outside rear view mirror. When an object is detected in
the right side blind zone or approaching in the right side lane change alert area, the right side object sensor will
supply a voltage to illuminate the visual indicator on the right side outside rear view mirror. Each sensor is
supplied B+ and ground.
The outside rearview mirrors contain an icon that is backlit with high intensity, amber-colored LED's located on
the mirror surface. The display brightness adapts to day/night conditions. The side blind zone alert indicator
icon in the left or right outside rearview mirror is illuminated if the left or right side object sensor module
detects a vehicle in the side blind zone or approaching in the lane change alert area to inform the driver that it
may not be safe to change lanes.
The lane change alert system shall detect and report "objects of interest" in the driver's blind zone, or
approaching on either side of the vehicle, within a specified lane change zone. The system is designed to alert
the driver, with a visual display placed on the side view mirror, to the presence of objects of interest that may
not be visible in the inside rearview mirror and outside rear view mirrors. Although this system is intended to
help drivers avoid lane change crashes, it does not replace driver vision and therefore should be considered a
lane change aid. Even with the lane change alert system, the driver must check carefully for objects outside of
the reporting zone before changing lanes. In the event that the system senses a malfunction through its
diagnostic routines, the system will be disabled and the driver will be visually notified.
When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system is
operating. The warning symbols will vary brightness based on the ambient light conditions. Lane change alert is
active when the vehicle is out of park or the parking brake is off on manual transmission vehicles. When the
system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone or approaching in the lane change alert zone while driving
forward, an amber warning symbol will light up in the appropriate outside mirror. This indicates that it may be
unsafe to change lanes. If the driver then activates the turn signal, the amber warning symbol starts flashing as
an extra warning not to change lanes.
The system is designed to detect objects of interest as small as a 125cc motorcycle with rider. The detection
zone starts at the outside rearview mirror and extends out to 3.5 m (11 ft) at the back corner of the vehicle and
70m (230 ft) behind the vehicle at a height of 0.5 m (1.5 ft) to 2.0 m (6 ft) above the ground. The side blind
zone system does not detect stationary objects such as guardrails, posts, curbs, walls, berms, bridges, or parked
vehicles.
If the vehicle is towing a trailer or has an object such as a bicycle rack attached to the rear of the vehicle, the
lane change alert system may not function properly and the indicators may illuminate intermittently or remain

OBJECT DETECTION DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (WITH REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT,
UFG)
The rear cross traffic alert system is a feature that utilized two side object sensor modules to provide enhanced
customer convenience while backing up by sensing and providing warnings to the driver on impending rear
cross traffic. The rear cross traffic alert system is designed to detect and track objects of interest within a
specified coverage zone behind the vehicle. The system is designed to alert the driver, with a visual display and
either an audible sound or a haptic warning, if equipped and enabled, to the presence of objects of interest that
may cause a collision with the host vehicle. Although the system is intended to assist drivers in backing up, it
does not replace driver's vision. The driver is responsible to check carefully for objects outside of the coverage
zone (e.g., a fast approaching vehicle) for a safe backing maneuver.
The side blind zone alert system is made up of the following components:
The side object sensor modules are located on each side of the vehicle behind the rear fascia and are not directly
visible from outside the vehicle. The sensors use radar to determine the presence of objects nearby. The left side
object sensor is the master that communicates on serial data. There is a private communication network between
the left and right sensors. The scan tool is able to communicate only with the left sensor.
When an object is detected in the left rear cross traffic zone, the side object sensor module sends a serial data
message to the human interface module and memory seat module to provide alerts. Each sensor is supplied B+
and ground.
Display Icons
The rear cross traffic alert system visual alert display consists of two visual icons, one on each side of the
display screen of the rearview camera display, that are used to alert the driver on rear cross traffic from each
side of the host vehicle respectively. In addition to visual indicators, the audio system will beep (if enabled) and
the haptic safety seat will vibrate (if equipped and enabled). Refer to owner's manual for vehicle customization.
The alert output type can be driver selected to either audio or haptic. The chime location will be left rear for left
rear cross traffic alert and right rear for right rear cross traffic alert. The haptic seat system response will be to
generate 3 repetitions of haptic vibration in the left rear area of the seat for left cross traffic alert and right rear
area of the seat for right cross traffic alert. If there is a problem with the haptic seats, the audio chime will be
substituted.
The rear cross traffic alert system is designed to detect objects of interest as small as a 125cc motorcycle with
rider. The detection zone extends approximately 30m (99 ft) from the rear corner of the car and covers an area
from behind the vehicle to 125 degrees towards the front at a height of 0.45m (1.5 ft) to 2m (6.5 ft) above
ground. The system operates when vehicle speed is 10 kph (6 mph) or less and is designed to detect objects
moving at speeds up to 36 kph (22 mph).
When the vehicle is backing up, the side object sensors receive energy that is reflected from external objects
and determine if the objects are objects of interest or not. The system may at times detect pedestrians, shopping
carts, or similar moving objects. This is normal and should not be considered as a false alert or problem with the
system. The rear cross traffic alert system will estimate vehicle travel trajectory and use the information in
conjunction with object travel trajectory information to determine if there is a potential collision between the
vehicle and the object of interest. The rear cross traffic alert function will only alert on objects of interest that
pose a potential collision with the host vehicle. The system is not designed to provide an alert to objects that
have no potential collision with vehicle. In addition, the system will not alert to stationary objects such as signs,
parked cars, etc.
If the vehicle is towing a trailer or has an object such as a bicycle rack attached to the rear of the vehicle, the
rear cross traffic alert system may not function properly.
Foul weather may affect the operation of the rear cross traffic alert system. Occasional missed alerts can occur
under normal circumstances and will increase in wet conditions. The number of missed alerts will increase with
increased rainfall or road spray. Heavy rainfall, as well as mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush build-up on the rear
fascia, can completely disable the system.
This message indicates that the system has been disabled through the driver information center. Refer to the
vehicle owners manual for instructions on how to set personalization options on the driver information center.
This message indicates that the system requires service. Since the side object sensors are also used for side blind
zone alert and/or lane change alert, these feature will also be inoperative. Check vehicle for DTCs to determine
the cause of this notification.
This message indicates that the system has been temporarily disabled because the sensors are blocked or can
otherwise not accurately detect vehicles or objects. Verify there is no damage to rear fascia or there are any
bumper stickers that may interfere with the radar signals. Ask the customer if any of the following
circumstances that present when the system became unavailable: mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush build-up on the
rear fascia, heavy rainfall, or excessive road spray.
OBJECT DETECTION DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (WITH FRONT AND REAR PARK
ASSIST, UD5)
The parking assist system is designed to identify and notify the driver of an object in the vehicle path when
moving forward or reversing at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 MPH). The distance and location of the object is
determined by 8 object sensors: 4 located in the rear bumper and 4 located in the front bumper. The parking
assist system will notify the driver using an audible beep signal through the radio.
The front and rear parking assist control module provides a reference voltage and a low reference to the 8 object
alarm sensors. The front and rear parking assist control module receives individual signals from each of the 8
sensors and determines the location and distance of an object based on these inputs. When an object is detected,
the front and rear parking assist control module will send a data message via CAN-Bus to the radio requesting
an audible alert.
The object alarm sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers of the vehicle. The sensors are used to
determine the distance between an object and the bumper. Each sensor emits an ultrasonic frequency which is
reflected off any object located in front of or behind the vehicle. These reflections are received by the sensors.
The time difference between the emission of the frequency and when the reflection is received is known as
sensor echo time, it is used to determine the distance to the object. The sensors report this information to the
front and rear parking assist control module.
The parking assist can be enabled and disabled by pressing the parking assist switch. By engaging the reverse
gear the parking assist can also be activated. By subsequently pressing the parking assist switch the parking
assist can be disabled again.
The indicator in the parking assist switch shows the status of the parking assist. If the lamp is ON, the parking
assist is enabled.
When an object is within the measuring range of the sensor, the ultrasonic pulse is reflected and is received by
the sending or a neighboring sensor. The sensor converts this signal into a voltage signal and sends this signal to
the parking assist control module. The front and rear parking assist control module evaluates the received sensor
signals. As soon as an object is within the measuring range, the front and rear parking assist control module
sends a message via CAN-Bus to the radio in order to give out the acoustic distance signal.
The parking assist system can detect objects greater than 7.6 cm (3 in) wide and 25.4 cm (10 in) tall. The system
cannot detect objects below the bumper, underneath the vehicle. If an object is detected, one of the following
will occur:
The measuring range of the front object alarm sensors is between 30-120 cm (11.8-47.2 in). From a
distance of 120 cm (47.2 in), the acoustic signal is active. The frequency of the beep sound increases with
decreasing distance. From a distance less than 30 cm (11.8 in), the sound becomes continuous.
The measuring range of the rear object alarm sensors is between 30-250 cm (11.8-98.4 in). From a
distance of 250 cm (98.4 in), the acoustic signal is active. The frequency of the beep sound increases with
decreasing distance. From a distance less than 30 cm (11.8 in), the sound becomes continuous.
The parking assist can be activated and deactivated by pressing the parking assist switch. When REVERSE gear
is selected, park assist automatically is engaged for both front and rear sensors. When the vehicle is put into
DRIVE from REVERSE the front assist sensors will be active up to speeds of 8 km/h (5 MPH) to assist with
parking maneuvers. Once the vehicle is above 8 km/h (5 MPH) the front sensors are disabled and will not be re-
enabled until either REVERSE gear is selected or the parking assist switch is pressed to activate the system.
Once the parking assist switch is pressed during a key cycle the front sensors become active at speeds under 8
km/h (5 MPH). If the park assist switch is pressed again in the same key cycle the message "Park Assist Off"
will be displayed in the driver information center if the vehicle speed is under 8 km/h (5 MPH) and front
sensors detect an object within 120 cm (47.2 in). The LED indicator on the parking assist switch provides the
ON/OFF state of the system. If the indicator is ON, the system is active and ready to assist.
The front and rear parking assist control module carries out a self test and monitors the sensors for electrical and
mechanical faults. Monitored is the power supply of each sensor and the sensor signals, which need to alter
when the vehicle moves. If this is not the case, the sensor is acoustically blocked or faulty. Mud, ice and snow
may cause obstruction of the function of the sensors. Besides that the front and rear parking assist control
module checks whether the correct type of sensor is installed. If any of these tests fails, a DTC with
corresponding symptom is set, the parking assist is deactivated and the parking assist indicator in the instrument
panel cluster is activated.
The driver information center displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when the front and rear parking assist control
module detects a malfunction in the parking assist system and the system is disabled. The driver information
center also displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when a loss of communication occurs with the front and rear
parking assist control module.
The PARK ASSIST OFF message is displayed in the driver information center when the parking assist system
is disabled due to conditions that disable or inhibit the system. The front and rear parking assist control module
requests the driver information center display PARK ASSIST OFF when it detects that one of the following
conditions:
The parking assist system is manually disabled using the parking assist switch.
An object is attached to the rear of the vehicle, such as a trailer, bicycle rack, trailer hitch receiver, or tow
bar. Also, an object extending beyond a lowered tailgate will disable the system.
The parking assist sensors are covered by snow, mud, dirt, slush, or ice.
The vehicle bumper is damaged.
Excessive paint thickness on a replacement parking assist sensor.
The parking assist sensors are disrupted by vibrations, like those caused by a large nearby vehicle or from
heavy equipment such as a jackhammer.
