Driving and Operating
If a service message displays and the above
conditions do not exist, take the vehicle to
your dealer for repairs.
If the Park Assist System does not activate
due to a temporary condition, a system off
message is shown on the display. This can
occur under the following conditions:
.
The driver has disabled the system.
.
An object is currently blocking the rear
sensors (for example, bike rack, tailgate,
trailer hitch, etc.). Once the object is
removed, Park Assist will return to normal
operation.
.
The bumper is damaged. Take the vehicle
to your dealer for repairs.
.
Other conditions, such as vibrations from
a jackhammer or the compression of air
brakes on a very large truck, are affecting
system performance.
Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
Automatic Parking Assist (APA) with
Braking
If equipped, under certain conditions APA
with Braking can use sensors based on sonar
technology along the vehicle's front, rear
and sides to detect a parking spot, and then
automatically park the vehicle with some
driver assistance. The vehicle will
automatically manoeuvre into a detected
spot moving at or near idle speed. It does
this by automatically steering and braking
while the driver is responsible for
acceleration and changing gear as needed.
The driver must always be prepared to
apply braking or additional acceleration, as
needed. A display and audible beeps help to
guide the parking manoeuvres.

Warning
APA may not always detect objects in the
parking space, objects that are not rigid
(e.g. shrubs and chain-link fences), objects
below the bumper, objects high off the
ground (e.g. flatbed trucks), hanging
objects, objects below ground level (e.g.
large potholes), or moving objects (e.g.
pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles). Always
verify that the parking space is
appropriate for parking a vehicle. APA
may not respond to changes in the
parking space, such as the movement of
an adjacent vehicle, or a person or object
entering the parking space. APA does not
detect or avoid traffic that is behind or

alongside the vehicle. Always be prepared
to stop the vehicle during the parking
manoeuvre.
How to Activate Automatic Parking
To activate APA, press the soft-touch button
or hard switch
O
for the system to begin
searching for a parking space while driving
forward at no greater speed than
30 km/h (18 mph). By default, APA searches
for parallel parking spaces to the right of
the vehicle up to the sensors' range of 1.5 m
(5 ft). To search for a parking space to the
left, turn on the left indicator or, if available,
change the side selection in the
infotainment display. To switch the parking
mode between parallel and perpendicular
press and hold
O
while searching for a
valid parking spot or, if available, change the
parking mode in the infotainment display.
APA cannot park in all empty parking spots.
The parking spot must:
.
Be sufficiently large to fit the vehicle
comfortably.
.
Have an adjacent vehicle, wall, or pillar
for the system to align to.
