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. 303 2011 MKT (mkt) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
