Driving Note: If the system cannot be turned off in a MyKey™ equipped vehicle, refer to MyKey™ in the Locks and Security chapter for more information. Note: If collision warnings are perceived as being too frequent or disturbing then the warning sensitivity can be reduced, though the manufacturer recommends using the highest sensitivity setting where possible. Setting lower sensitivity would lead to fewer and later system warnings. Refer to the Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter for instructions on reducing the sensitivity. ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (APA) (IF EQUIPPED) Active Park Assist (APA) will detect an available parallel parking space and automatically steer the vehicle into the space (hands free) while you control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system will visually and/or audibly instruct the driver to park the vehicle. WARNING: This system is designed to be a supplementary park aid. It may not work in all conditions and is not intended to replace the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is responsible for avoiding hazards and maintaining a safe distance and speed, even when the APA is in use. Conditions in which the system may not work: • Something passes between the front bumper and the space such as a pedestrian or cyclist • The edge of the vehicle is high from the ground such as a bus, tow truck, or flat bed truck Automatic Search for Parking Space To start, press the APA control switch (on the center console).
