Parking Aids

Note: Keep the sensors on the bumper or fascia free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt. Covered sensors can affect the system's accuracy. Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects. Note: The sensors may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves or cause ultrasonic interference. For example, motorcycle exhaust, truck air brakes or horns. Note: Following a change in tire size, the system must recalibrate and operation may be impaired for a short time. Do not use the system if: • You have attached a foreign object close to the sensors on the front or rear of your vehicle. For example, a bike rack or trailer. • You attach an overhanging object to the roof. For example, a surfboard. • A foreign object damages or obstructs the front or rear bumper or side sensors. • The correct tire size is not in use on your vehicle. For example, a mini-spare tire.

Using Active Park Assist - Parallel Parking

If you are uncomfortable with the proximity to any vehicle or object, you may choose to override the system by grabbing the steering wheel or by pressing the button. Parallel Park Out Assist 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. The systemmay not correctly operate in any of the following conditions: • You use a spare tire or a tire significantly worn more than the other tires. • One or more tires are improperly inflated. • You try to park on a tight curve. • Something passes between the front bumper and the parking space. For example, a pedestrian or cyclist. • The edge of the neighboring parked vehicle is high off the ground. For example, a bus, tow truck or flatbed truck. • The weather conditions are poor. For example, during heavy rain, snow or fog.

Press the Active Park Assist button once to search for a parallel parking space.

E146186

When driving at a speed less than 22 mph (35 km/h), the system automatically scans both sides of your vehicle for an available parking space. The system displays a message and a corresponding graphic to indicate it is searching for a parking space. Use the direction indicator to select searching either to the left-hand side or right-hand side of your vehicle. Note: If the direction indicators are not used, the system defaults to the passenger side of your vehicle.
