ACTIVE PARK ASSIST

(IF

EQUIPPED)

WARNING

Designed to be a supplementary park
aid, this system may not work in all
conditions. This system cannot

replace the driver’s attention and
judgment. The driver is responsible for
avoiding hazards and maintaining a safe
distance and speed, even when the system
is in use.

Note: The driver is always responsible for
controlling the vehicle, supervising the
system and intervening if required.

The system detects an available parallel
parking space and automatically steers
your vehicle into the space (hands-free)
while you control the accelerator, gearshift
and brakes. The system visually and
audibly instructs you to park your vehicle.

The system may not function correctly if
something passes between the front
bumper and the parking space (a
pedestrian or cyclist) or if the edge of the
neighboring parked vehicle is high off the
ground (for example, a bus, tow truck or
flatbed truck).

Note: The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that cause
disruptive reflections.

Note: The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves.

Do not use the system if:

You have attached a foreign object
(bike rack or trailer) to the front or rear
of your vehicle or attached close to the
sensors.

You have attached an overhanging
object (surfboard) to the roof.

The front bumper or side sensors are
damaged or obstructed by a foreign
object (front bumper cover).

A mini-spare tire is in use.

passenger side.
