PARALLEL/PERPENDICULAR
PARKING SPACE ASSISTANCE
OPERATION
When the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
enabled, the “Active ParkSense Searching - Press
or
to Switch Maneuver” message will appear in the
instrument cluster display. You may select perpendicu-
lar, parallel, or parallel park exit. The arrow buttons on
the left side of the steering wheel can be used to switch
parking maneuvers.
Selecting A Side
When searching for a parking space, use the turn signal
indicator to select which side of the vehicle you want to
perform the parking maneuver. The ParkSense Active
Park Assist system will automatically search for a park-
ing space on the passenger's side of the vehicle if the
turn signal is not activated.
NOTE:
•
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, etc.
from surrounding objects/vehicles).
•
When searching 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 park-
ing space (example: if passing multiple available
parking spaces, the system will only indicate the last
detected parking space for the maneuver). A parking
space is considered invalid after the vehicle is 32 ft
(10 m) or more away from it.
Searching For A Parking Space
Through the side sensors, the system will continuously
search for a free parking space suitable for the dimen-
sions of the vehicle. While searching the vehicle should
continue driving below 18 mph (30 km/h). When look-
ing for a parallel parking space keep the vehicle 1.5 ft
to 5 ft (50cm to 1.5 m) from parked vehicles. When
looking for a perpendicular parking space keep the
vehicle 3 ft to 6 ft (1 m to 2 m) from parked vehicles.
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
or parallel parking sequence (depending on the type of
maneuver being performed).
Once the vehicle is in position, you will be instructed to
stop the vehicle’s movement and remove your hands
from the steering wheel. When the vehicle comes to a
standstill (your hands still removed from the steering
wheel), you will be instructed to place the gear selector
into the REVERSE position.
The system may then instruct the driver to wait for
steering to complete before then instructing to check
surroundings and move backward.
