Park Assist System - Operation: Notes
When park assist system is switched on. The park assist switch is used to scroll through the three park assist options:
- Parallel parking.
- Perpendicular parking.
- Parking exit.
If the Touch Screen (TS) is a 10.2" single or dual view screen the park assist switch is a soft key located at the bottom right of the screen.
The 10.2" TS shows the different options as icons on the screen.
When selected, instructions for the three park assist options are displayed in the Instrument Cluster (IC) message center.
Instructions are then communicated to the driver using the following methods:
- Visual - graphical and text message instructions in the IC message center.
- Audible - variable sound tones through vehicle speakers.
The park assist system only becomes active when the vehicle speed is less than 18 mph (30 km/h).
The park assist system must not be used if:
- A temporary spare wheel is in use.
- A sensor is damaged or the bumper is damaged sufficiently to affect a sensor mounting point.
- A sensor is obstructed by items attached to the vehicle, e.g., bumper covers, a bicycle rack, a trailer, stickers, etc.
- The vehicle is being used to transport a load that extends beyond the vehicle perimeter, for example a trailer.
During any park assist maneuver, the parking aid system will remain active and will sound when objects are detected near the vehicle. A parking maneuver can be cancelled at any point by holding/turning the steering wheel or by pressing the park assist button.
