~2min read
Active Park Assist is a multi-step process and may require you to change gears several times. Follow the on-screen instructions until the parking maneuver is complete.
If you are not comfortable with the proximity to any vehicle or object, you may override the system by gripping the steering wheel or taking full control of your vehicle after pressing the Active Park Assist button.
Keep your hands, hair, clothing and any loose items away from the steering wheel when using Active Park Assist.
Sensors are located on the front and rear bumpers.
The system may not operate correctly under any of the following conditions:
- You are using a temporary spare tire or a tire that is worn significantly more than the other tires.
- One or more tires are improperly inflated.
- You are trying to park on a steep turn.
- Something passes between the front bumper and the parking space, for example a pedestrian or a cyclist.
- The edge of an adjacent parked vehicle is high above the ground, for example a bus, tow truck or flatbed truck.
- Weather conditions are poor, for example during heavy rain, snow, fog, high humidity and high temperatures.
Do not use the system if:
- You have attached an accessory near the sensors on the front or rear of your vehicle, for example a bicycle rack or a trailer.
- You have attached a protruding item to the roof, for example a surfboard.
- The front bumper, rear bumper or side sensors are damaged.
- A tire of the correct size is not installed on your vehicle, for example a mini spare tire.
