STARTING AND OPERATING 173
EXITING THE PARKING SPACE
NOTE:
The function does not work for exiting a perpen-
dicular parking space, but only exiting parallel
parking spaces.
Activation
To activate this function, push the Active
ParkSense switch once. After selection, the
system activates and warns the driver on the
instrument panel display about the operations
that have to be carried out to perform the
maneuver correctly.
Selection Of The Maneuver Side
Use the direction indicators to choose the
direction that you want to perform the
maneuver. Use the right arrow indicator to
perform the maneuver to the right side and use
the left arrow indicator to perform the
maneuver to the left.
During the maneuver, the system instructs the
driver to shift to REVERSE, and operate the turn
signal in the direction you want to exit. Let go of
the steering wheel and use the brake or
accelerator pedals as instructed, while the
system handles the steering automatically for
exiting the parking space. If the driver continues
to carry out a voluntary or involuntary action on
the steering wheel during the exit maneuver
(touching or holding the steering wheel to
prevent its movement), the maneuver will be
interrupted.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when performing
parallel or perpendicular parking maneuvers
even when using the ParkSense Active Park
Assist system. Always check carefully behind
and in front of your vehicle, look behind and
in front of you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before backing
up and moving forward. You are responsible
for safety and must continue to pay attention
to your surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
Before using the ParkSense Active Park
Assist system, it is strongly recommended
that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly
be disconnected from the vehicle when the
vehicle is not used for towing. Failure to do
so can result in injury or damage to vehicles
or obstacles because the hitch ball will be
much closer to the obstacle than the rear
fascia when the vehicle sounds the contin-
uous tone. Also, the sensors could detect
the ball mount and hitch ball assembly,
depending on its size and shape, giving a
false indication that an obstacle is behind
the vehicle.
CAUTION!
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
only a parking aid and it is unable to recog-
nize every obstacle, including small obsta-
cles. Parking curbs might be temporarily
detected or not detected at all. Obstacles
located above or below the sensors will not
be detected when they are in close prox-
imity.
The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system in order to be able to stop in time
when an obstacle is detected. It is recom-
mended that the driver looks over his/her
shoulder when using the ParkSense Active
Park Assist system.
