The system detects an available parallel parking space and automatically
steers the vehicle into the space (hands-free) while you control the
accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system visually and/or audibly
instructs the driver to park the vehicle.
The system may not function correctly if something passes between the
front bumper and the parking space (i.e. a pedestrian or cyclist) or if the
edge of the neighboring parked vehicle is high from the ground (i.e. a
bus, tow truck or flatbed truck).
Note:
The sensors may not detect objects in heavy rain or other
conditions that cause disruptive reflections.
Note:
The sensors may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb
ultrasonic waves.
Note:
After a tire change the system will go through a relearning
procedure. During this time the system performance may deteriorate.
The system should not be used if:
•
a foreign object (i.e. bike rack or trailer) is attached to the front or
rear of the vehicle or at another location close to the sensors.
•
an overhanging object (i.e. surfboard) is attached to the roof.
•
the front bumper or side sensors are damaged (i.e. in a collision) or
obstructed by a foreign object (i.e. front bumper cover).
•
a mini-spare tire is in use.
Using Active Park Assist
Press the button; the touch screen
displays a message and a
corresponding graphic to indicate
it’s searching for a parking space.
Use the turn signal to indicate
which side of the vehicle you want
the system to search on.
Note:
If the turn signal is not on, the system automatically searches on
the vehicle’s passenger side.
