WARNING   WARNING:  This system is designed to be a supplementary park aid. It may not work in all conditions and is not intended to replace the driver’s attention and judgment. The driver is responsible for avoiding hazards and maintaining a safe distance and speed, even when the system is in use.

Note:   The driver is always responsible for controlling the vehicle, supervising the system and intervening if required.
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.
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 audibly instructs you to park the vehicle.
The system may not function correctly if something passes between the front bumper and the parking space (for example, a pedestrian or cyclist) or if the edge of the neighboring parked vehicle is high from the ground (such as a bus, tow truck or flatbed truck).
You should not use the system if:
  • A foreign object (such as a 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 (such as a surfboard) is attached to the roof.
  • The front bumper or side sensors are damaged (in a collision) or obstructed by a foreign object (such as a front bumper cover).
  • A mini-spare tire is in use.
Using Active Park Assist
Park Assist  Press the button located on the right-hand side of the center stack.
The touch screen displays a message and a corresponding graphic to indicate it is searching for a parking space. Use the direction indicator to indicate which side of the vehicle you want the system to search on.
Note:   If the direction indicator is not on, the system automatically searches on the passenger side of the vehicle.
Parking Aid Indicators
When the system finds a suitable space, the touch screen displays a message and a tone sounds. Slow down and stop when the touch screen displays a message and a chime sounds (at approximately position A), then follow the instructions on the touch screen.
Note:   You must observe that the selected space remains clear of obstructions at all times in the maneuver.
Note:   Vehicles with overhanging loads (such as a bus or a truck), active park assist may not detect street furniture and other items. You must make sure the system selects a space suitable for parking.
Note:   Drive the vehicle as parallel to other vehicles as possible while passing a parking space.
Note:   The system always offers the last detected parking space (for example, if the vehicle detects multiple spaces while you are driving, it offers the last one).
Note:   If driven above approximately 22 mph (35 km/h), the touch screen shows a message to alert you to reduce vehicle speed.
Automatic Steering into Parking Space
Note:   If vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), the system turns off and you need to take full control of the vehicle.
When you shift the transmission into reverse (R), with your hands off the wheel (and nothing obstructing its movement), the vehicle steers itself into the space. Instructions to safely move your vehicle back and forth in the space display in the touch screen and a tone sounds.
Parking Aid System
When you think your vehicle has enough space in front and behind it, or you hear a solid tone from the parking aid (accompanied by a touch screen display message and a tone), bring your vehicle to a complete stop.
When automatic steering is complete, the touch screen displays a message and a tone sounds, indicating that the active park assist process is done. The driver is responsible for checking the parking job and make any necessary corrections before putting the transmission in park (P).
Deactivating the Park Assist Feature
The system can be deactivated manually by:
  • Pressing the active park assist button.
  • Grabbing the steering wheel.
  • Driving above approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) for 10 seconds during an active park search.
  • Driving above 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 can activate on a slippery or loose surface.
  • An anti-lock brake system activation or failure.
  • If something touches the steering wheel.
If a problem occurs with the system, a warning message displays and a tone sounds. Occasional system messages may occur in normal operation. For recurring or frequent system faults, contact an authorized dealer to have your vehicle serviced.
Troubleshooting the System

The system does not look for a space  
The traction control system may be off.  
The transmission is in reverse (R), the vehicle must be moving forward to detect a parking space.  


The system does not offer a particular space  
Something may be contacting the front bumper or side sensors.  
There is not enough room on both sides of the vehicle in order to park.  
There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on the opposite side of the parking space.  
The vehicle is going faster than 22 mph (35 km/h).  
The vehicle is farther than 4.9 ft (1.5 m) from the parking space.  
The vehicle is closer than 15.75 in (40 cm) from neighboring parked vehicles.  
The transmission is in reverse (R), the vehicle must be moving forward to detect a parking space.  


The system does not position the vehicle where I want in the space  
The vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the transmission (for example, rolling forward when you select reverse [R]).  
An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from aligning the vehicle properly.  
Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be in the correct position.  
You drove the vehicle too far past the parking space. The system performs best when you drive the same distance past the parking space.  
The tires may not be installed or maintained correctly (for example, not inflated correctly, improper size, or of different sizes).  
A repair or alteration has changed detection capabilities.  
A parked vehicle has a high attachment (for example, a salt sprayer, snowplow, or a moving truck bed).  
The parking space length or position of parked objects changed after your vehicle passed.  
The temperature around your vehicle changes quickly (for instance, driving from a heated garage into the cold, or after leaving a car wash).
