Driving and Operating 217
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.
Follow the displayed instructions. When
instructed to drive in reverse, shift to
R (Reverse) while holding the brakes. The
steering wheel will vibrate briefly as a
reminder to remove hands from the steering
wheel. After the vibration stops, check your
surroundings and release the brakes to
begin automatic parking. As the vehicle
automatically steers, into the parking spot,
check surroundings and continue to apply
brakes, acceleration and shift gears as
needed. Be prepared to stop to avoid
vehicles, pedestrians, or objects. If the
vehicle exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph), APA is
automatically disengaged.
A progress arrow displays the status of the
parking maneuver. Once automatic parking
is finished and the vehicle is braked to a full
stop, APA will beep and display a message
indicating parking is complete. Secure the
vehicle against rolling away by applying
parking brake and place the vehicle in
P (Park).
