Parking Aids

Deactivating the Active Park Assist Feature Manually deactivate the system by: • Pressing the active park assist button during an active maneuver. • Grabbing the steering wheel during an active maneuver. • Driving above approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) for 30 seconds during an active park search. • Driving above approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) during automatic steering. • Switching off the traction control system. Certain vehicle conditions can also deactivate the system, such as: • Traction control has activated. • There is an anti-lock brake system activation or failure. If a problem occurs with the system, a warning message displays accompanied by a tone. Occasional systemmessages may occur in normal operation. For recurring or frequent systemfaults, contact an authorized dealer to have your vehicle serviced.

The system determines the clearance to the front and rear of your vehicle and automatically steers your vehicle out of a parallel parking space (hands-free) while you control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system visually and audibly guides you to enter traffic. After the system has directed your vehicle past the adjacent vehicle or object, it guides you to take control of the steering to complete the exit fromthe parking spot. Note: If the clearance in front of your vehicle allows easy departure, the Parallel Park Out Assist feature might not be available. Note: You are responsible for controlling your vehicle and making sure the path is clear prior to pulling into traffic. Note: This system is not intended to assist in exiting perpendicular parking spaces, damages to your vehicle may occur. Note: If your vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h) or the maneuver is interrupted (driver input), the system switches off and you need to take full control of your vehicle.
