Parking Aids When you think your vehicle has enough space in front and behind it, or you hear a solid tone from the parking aid (accompanied by a touchscreen display message and a tone), bring your vehicle to a complete stop. When automatic steering is finished, the touchscreen displays a message and a tone sounds, indicating the completion of the active park assist process. The driver is responsible for checking the parking job and making any necessary corrections before putting the transmission in Park (P). Certain vehicle conditions can also deactivate the system, such as: • Traction control has activated on a slippery or loose surface. • There is an anti-lock brake system activation or failure. • Something touches the steering wheel. If a problem occurs with the system, a warning message is displayed, followed by a tone. Occasional system messages may occur in normal operation. For recurring or frequent system faults, contact an authorized dealer to have your vehicle serviced. Note: The driver is always responsible for controlling the vehicle, supervising the system and intervening if required. 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. The system determines the clearance to the front and rear of your vehicle and automatically steers your vehicle out of a parallel parking space (hands-free) while you control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system visually and audibly instructs you to enter traffic. 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). Deactivating the Park Assist Feature Manually deactivate the system by: • Pressing the active park assist button. • Grabbing the steering wheel. • Driving above approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) for 10 seconds during an active park search. • Driving above 6 mph (10 km/h) during automatic steering. • Turning off the traction control system. Park Out 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. 196
