AutoPark
AutoPark is an optional feature that helps place the vehicle in PARK when certain conditions occur, as described on the following pages. It is a backup system and should not be relied upon as the primary method by which the driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.
The conditions under which AutoPark will activate are described below. See the following pages.
- Driver inattention may result in failure to place the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS CHECK VISUALLY that your vehicle is in PARK by confirming that the "P" indicator is not flashing on the instrument cluster display and on the gear selector. If the "P" indicator is flashing, your vehicle is not in PARK. As an additional precaution, always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
