The sensing system reports the
obstacle which is closest to the front
or rear of the vehicle. For example, if
an obstacle is 24 inches (60
centimeters) from the front of the
vehicle and, at the same time, an
obstacle is only 16 inches (40
centimeters) from the rear of the
vehicle, the lower pitched tone sounds.
An alternating warning sounds from
the front and rear if there are objects
at both bumpers that are closer than
10 inches (25 centimeters).
For specific information on the reverse
sensing portion of the system, refer to that
section.
ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (IF EQUIPPED)
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 drivers 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 (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).
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 located on the
right side of the center stack.
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.
