Using Active Park Assist

Press the button; the touch screen
displays a message and a
corresponding graphic to indicate
it’s searching for a parking space.
Use the turn signal to indicate
which side of the vehicle you want
the system to search on.

Note: If the turn signal is not on, the system automatically searches on
the vehicle’s passenger side.

When a suitable space is found, the touch screen displays a message and
a chime sounds. Slow down and stop at approximately position (A), then
follow the instructions on the touch screen.
Note: You must observe that the selected space remains clear of
obstructions at all times in the maneuver.

Note: Vehicles with overhanging loads (e.g. a bus or a truck), street
furniture and other items may not be detected by active park assist. You
must ensure the selected space is suitable for parking.

Note: The vehicle should be driven as parallel to other vehicles as
possible while passing a parking space.

Note: The system always offers the last detected parking space (i.e. if
the vehicle detects multiple spaces while you are driving, it offers the
last one).

Note: If driven above approximately 20 mph (35 km/h), the touch screen
shows a message to alert the driver to reduce vehicle speed.
