When automatic steering is finished, the touch screen displays a message
indicating that the active park assist process is done. The driver is
responsible for checking the parking job and making any necessary
corrections before putting the transmission in P (Park).
Deactivating the Park Assist Feature
The system can be deactivated manually by:
• pressing the active park assist button
• grabbing the steering wheel
• driving above approximately 20 mph (35 km/h) for 30 seconds during
an active park search
• driving above 6 mph (10 km/h) during automatic steering
• turning off the traction control system.
Certain vehicle conditions can also deactivate the system:
• Traction control has activated on a slippery or loose surface.
• Anti-lock brake system activation or failure.
• Any door (except the driver’s) opens.
• Something touches the steering wheel.
If a problem occurs with the system, a warning message is displayed,
followed by a chime. Occasional active park assist messages may occur
in normal operation. For recurring or frequent active park assist faults,
contact an authorized dealer to have your vehicle serviced.
