NOTE:
The function does not work for exiting a perpendicular
parking space, but only exiting parallel parking spaces.
Activation
To activate this function, shift to DRIVE, push the
ParkSense Active Park Assist switch, and then use the
steering wheel arrow buttons to select the Parallel Park
Exit feature. After the selection, the system activates and
instructs the driver through the instrument cluster display
about the operations that have to be carried out to
perform the maneuver correctly.
Start Of Maneuver
During the maneuver, the system asks the driver to shift to
REVERSE, and operate the turn signal in the direction you
want to exit. Let go of the steering wheel and use the brake
or accelerator pedals while the system handles the
steering automatically for exiting the parking space. If the
driver continues to carry out a voluntary or involuntary
action on the steering wheel during the exit maneuver
(touching or holding the steering wheel to prevent its
movement), the maneuver will be interrupted.
Shift To Reverse Then Move Backward
Shift To Drive Then Move Forward
End Of Maneuver
The semi-automatic maneuver ends when the display
shows the message of a completed maneuver. At the end
of the maneuver, the system gives back the vehicle control
to the driver.
Important Information

If the sensors undergo impact which alters their posi -
tion, the system operation could be greatly affected.

The sensors reach top performance after the vehicle
has gone about 30 miles (50 km) due to the dynamic
tire circumference calculations used for parking.
 Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, taking care not
to scratch or damage them. The sensors must not be
covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris.
Failure to do so can result in the system not working
properly. The ParkSense system might not detect an
obstacle behind or in front of the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind or in front of the fascia/bumper.

Construction equipment, large trucks, and other vibra -
tions could affect the performance of ParkSense.

Sensors may detect a nonexistent obstacle (echo
noise) due to mechanical noises, for example while
washing the vehicle or in the case of rain, strong wind,
and hail.
 The sensors may not detect objects of a particular
shape or made from particular materials (very thin
poles, trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes, anti-parking
posts, pavements, rubbish bins, motor vehicles, etc.).
Always take great care to check that the vehicle and its
path are actually compatible with the parking place
identified by the system.
CAUTION!

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is only a
parking aid and it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small obstacles. Parking curbs
might be temporarily detected or not detected at all.
Obstacles located above or below the sensors will
not be detected when they are in close proximity.
 The vehicle must be driven slowly when using the
ParkSense Active Park Assist system in order to be
able to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It
is recommended that the driver looks over his/her
shoulder when using the ParkSense Active Park
Assist system.
