STARTING AND DRIVING

appears on the instrument panel display.
The arrow buttons on the left side of the
steering wheel can be used to switch
parking maneuvers. You may switch to
parallel parking or to “Parallel Park Exit“
if you desire. Refer to “Exiting from the
car park” paragraph in this chapter for
more information.
NOTES:
When searching for a parking space,
use the direction indicator to select
which side of the vehicle you want to
perform the parking maneuver. The
Active ParkSense (Automatic Park Assist)
system will automatically search for a
parking space on the passenger's side of
the vehicle if the direction indicator is
not activated.
The driver needs to make sure that
the selected parking space for the
maneuver remains free and clear of any
obstructions (e.g. pedestrians, bicycles,
etc.).
The driver is responsible to ensure that
the selected parking space is suitable
for the maneuver and free/clear of
anything that may be overhanging or
protruding into the parking space (e.g.,
ladders, liftgates, etc. from surrounding
objects/vehicles).
When seeking for a parking space,
the driver should drive as parallel or
perpendicular (depending on the type of
maneuver) to other vehicles as possible.
The feature will only indicate the
last detected parking space (example:
if passing multiple available parking
spaces, the system will only indicate
the last detected parking space for the
maneuver).
The function will only indicate the
free spaces between two vehicles. If the
space is wider than the equivalent of two
parking spaces, it will not be identified
as a parking zone (open space).
When an available parking space has
been found, and the vehicle is not in
position, you will be instructed to move
forward to position the vehicle for a
perpendicular parking sequence.
Area detected - Continue moving forward
Once the vehicle is in position, you
will be instructed to stop the vehicle’s
movement and remove your hands from
the steering wheel.
Area detected - Stop the car and take your
hands away from the steering wheel
Once the vehicle is at a standstill with
your hands removed from the steering
wheel, you will be instructed to place the
shift lever into the reverse position.
Area detected - Engage reverse gear
When the driver places the shift lever
into the reverse position, the system may
instruct the driver to wait for steering to
complete.
Check the surroundings - Wait for
completion of the maneuver
The system will then instruct the driver
to check their surroundings and move
backward.
Check the surroundings - Move in reverse
NOTES
It is the driver’s responsibility to use
the brake and accelerator during the
semi-automatic parking maneuver.
When the system instructs the driver
to remove their hands from the steering
wheel, the driver should check their
surroundings and begin to back up
slowly.
The Active ParkSense (Automatic Park
Assist) system will allow a maximum of
six shifts between D (Drive) (dual clutch
automatic transmission) or forward gear
(manual transmission) and R (Reverse).
If the maneuver cannot be completed
within six shifts, the system will cancel
and the instrument panel display will
instruct the driver to complete the
maneuver manually.
The system will cancel the maneuver
if the vehicle speed exceeds 7 km/h
during active steering guidance into the
parking space. The system will provide a
warning to the driver at 5 km/h that tells
them to slow down. The driver is then
responsible for completing the maneuver
if the system is canceled.
If the system is canceled during the
maneuver for any reason, the driver must
take control of the vehicle.
