AutoPark
AutoPark is an optional feature that helps place the vehicle in PARK in the situations described on the following pages. It is a backup system and must not be relied upon as the primary method of shifting the vehicle into PARK.
The conditions under which AutoPark will engage are described on the following pages.
- Driver inattention may result in failure to place the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS PERFORM A VISUAL CHECK to confirm that the vehicle is in PARK by verifying that a solid (not flashing) "P" is displayed in the instrument cluster and on the gear selector. If the "P" indicator is flashing, the vehicle is not in PARK. As an additional precaution, always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
