246 DRIVING AND OPERATING
park the vehicle with some driver
assistance. The vehicle will
automatically manoeuvre into a
detected spot moving at or near idle
speed. It does this by automatically
steering and braking while the driver
is responsible for acceleration and
changing gear as needed. The driver
must always be prepared to apply
braking or additional acceleration, as
needed. A display and audible beeps
help to guide the parking manoeuvres.

Warning
APA may not always detect objects
in the parking space, objects that
are not rigid (e.g. shrubs and
chain-link fences), objects below the
bumper, objects high off the ground
(e.g. flatbed trucks), hanging
objects, objects below ground level
such (e.g. large potholes), or moving
objects (e.g. pedestrians, cyclists,
vehicles). Always verify that the
parking space is appropriate for
parking a vehicle. APA may not
respond to changes in the parking
space, such as the movement of an

adjacent vehicle, or a person or
object entering the parking space.
APA does not detect or avoid traffic
that is behind or alongside the
vehicle. Always be prepared to stop
the vehicle during the parking
manoeuvre.
How to Activate Automatic Parking
To activate APA, press the soft-touch
button or hard switch
O for the
system to begin searching for a
parking space while driving forward at
no greater speed than
30 km/h (18 mph). By default, APA
searches for parallel parking spaces to
the right of the vehicle up to the
sensors' range of 1.5 m (5 ft). To
search for a parking space to the left,
turn on the left indicator or,
if available, change the side selection
in the infotainment display. To switch
the parking mode between parallel
and perpendicular press and hold
O
while searching for a valid parking
spot or, if available, change the
parking mode in the infotainment
display.
APA cannot park in all empty parking
spots. The parking spot must:
.
Be sufficiently large to fit the
vehicle comfortably.
.
Have an adjacent vehicle, wall,
or pillar for the system to align to.
After completely passing an eligible
parking spot, a beep sounds and a red
stop symbol is displayed in the driver
information centre. Generally, APA
selects the nearest empty parking spot
behind the vehicle, but under some
conditions may select a space that is
further back. Slow down and bring the
vehicle to a complete stop to begin.
