Troubleshooting the System

Symptom

Possible Cause

Youmay have the traction control systemswitched off. The transmission is in reverse (R). Your vehicle must bemoving forward to be able to detect a parking space. The sensors may be covered. For example, snow, ice or dirt buildup. Covered sensors can affect how the system functions. There is not enough room in the parking space for your vehicle to safely park. There is not enough space for the parkingmaneuver on the opposite side of the parking space. The parking space is more than 5 ft (1.5m) or less than 16 in (0.4 m) away. Your vehicle speed is greater than 22 mph (35 km/h) for parallel parking, or greater than 19 mph (30 km/h) for perpendicular parking. You recently disconnected or replaced the battery. After a battery disconnect, you must drive your vehicle on a straight road for a short period of time. Your vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the current transmission position. For example, rolling forward when in reverse (R). An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from aligning your vehicle properly. Improperly parked vehicles or objects are boarding the space. Your vehicle is too far past the parking space. The system performs best when you drive the same distance past the parking space. You have incorrectly installed or maintained the tires. For example, not inflated correctly, improper size, or of different sizes. A repair or alteration changes the detection capabilities.

The system does not look for a space.
