Parking Aids

Note: The sensors may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves or cause ultrasonic interference. For example, motorcycle exhaust, truck air brakes or horns. Note: Following a change in tire size, the systemmust recalibrate and operationmay be impaired for a short time. Do not use the system if: • You have attached a bike rack, trailer or other object near the sensors on the front or rear of your vehicle. • You have attached an overhanging object to the roof. For example, a surfboard. • A foreign object damages or obstructs the sensors. • The correct tire size is not in use. For example, when using a mini-spare tire. Using Active Park Assist When driving at a speed less than 22 mph (35 km/h), the systemautomatically scans both sides of your vehicle for an available parking space. The system displays a message and a corresponding graphic to indicate it is searching for a parking space. Use the direction indicator to select searching either to the left hand side or right hand side of your vehicle. If the direction indicator is not used, the system defaults to the passenger side of your vehicle. E146186 Press the button to turn the system on or off.

The system detects an available parallel parking space and automatically steers your vehicle (hands-free)while you control the accelerator, transmission and brakes. The systemvisually and audibly guides you to park your vehicle. If you are uncomfortablewith the proximity to any vehicle or object, you may choose to override the system by grabbing the steering wheel or pushing the active park assist button. The systemmay not operate correctly in any of the following conditions: • You use a spare tire or a tire significantly worn more than the other tires. • One or more tires are improperly inflated. • You try to park on a tight curve. • Something passes between the front bumper and the parking space. For example, a pedestrian or cyclist. • The edge of the neighboring parking vehicle is high off the ground. For example, a bus, tow truck or flatbed truck. • The weather conditions are poor. For example, during heavy rain, snow or fog. Note: Keep the sensors, located on the fascia, free from now, ice and large accumulations of dirt. Covered sensors can affect the systems accuracy. Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
