ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:
This system is designed to be a supplementary park
aid. It may not work in all conditions and is not intended to
replace the driver’s attention and judgment. The driver is responsible
for avoiding hazards and maintaining a safe distance and speed, even
when the system is in use.
Note:
The driver is always responsible for controlling the vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening if required.
The system detects an available parallel parking space and automatically
steers the vehicle into the space (hands-free) while you control the
accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system visually and/or audibly
instructs the driver to park the vehicle.
The system may not function correctly if something passes between the
front bumper and the parking space (i.e. a pedestrian or cyclist) or if the
edge of the neighboring parked vehicle is high from the ground (i.e. a
bus, tow truck or flatbed truck).
Note:
The sensors may not detect objects in heavy rain or other
conditions that cause disruptive reflections.
Note:
The sensors may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb
ultrasonic waves.
Note:
After a tire change the system will go through a relearning
procedure. During this time the system performance may deteriorate.
The system should not be used if:
•
a foreign object (i.e. bike rack or trailer) is attached to the front or
rear of the vehicle or at another location close to the sensors.
•
an overhanging object (i.e. surfboard) is attached to the roof.
•
the front bumper or side sensors are damaged (i.e. in a collision) or
obstructed by a foreign object (i.e. front bumper cover).
•
a mini-spare tire is in use.
