AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist
in placing the vehicle in PARK should the
situations on the following pages occur. It is a
back up system and should not be relied
upon as the primary method by which the
driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.
The conditions under which AutoPark will
engage are outlined on the following pages.
WARNING!
• Driver inattention could lead to failure to
place the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS DO
A VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in
PARK by verifying that a solid (not blink-
ing) “P” is indicated in the Instrument
Cluster Display and near the gear selec-
tor. If the "P" indicator is blinking, your
vehicle is not in PARK. As an added
precaution, always apply the parking
brake when exiting the vehicle.
• AutoPark is a supplemental feature. It is
not designed to replace the need to shift
