Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
If equipped, APA searches for and steers the
vehicle into parallel or perpendicular parking
spots. When using APA, you must still shift
gears, and control the brakes and
accelerator. A display and audible beeps help
to guide parking maneuvers.
{
Warning
APA does not apply the brakes. APA may
not detect objects in the parking space,
objects that are soft or narrow, objects
high off the ground such as flatbed
trucks, or objects below ground level such
as large potholes. Always verify that the
parking space is appropriate for parking a
vehicle. APA does not respond to changes
in the parking space, such as 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 of the vehicle.
Always be prepared to stop the vehicle
during the parking maneuver.
Press
O
on the center console to enable
the system to search for a parking space
that is large enough and within 1.5 m (5 ft)
of the vehicle. The vehicle speed must be
below 30 km/h (18 mph).
The system cannot:
.
Detect whether it is a legal parking space.
.
Park exactly lined up with the vehicle
next to it if the spot is approached at an
angle or if the parking space is angled.
.
Park exactly centered in a spot that is
marked too large.
.
Always detect short curbs.
When enabled, APA searches for parallel
parking spaces to the right of the vehicle. To
search for a parking space to the left, turn
on the left turn signal or, if available,
change the side selection in the
infotainment display. To switch the parking
mode between parallel and perpendicular,
press and hold
O
during the search process
or, if available, change the parking mode in
the infotainment display.
After completely passing a large enough
space, an audible beep occurs. A red stop
symbol and message is displayed.
