Troubleshooting the System
The system does not look for a space
The traction control system may be off
The transmission is in Reverse (R); your vehicle must be moving forward to detect a
parking space
The system does not offer a particular space
Something may be contacting the front bumper or side sensors
There is not enough room on both sides of your vehicle in order to park
There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on the opposite side of the parking
space
Your vehicle is farther than 5 ft (1.5 m) from the parking space
Your vehicle is closer than 16 in. (40 cm) from neighboring parked vehicles
The transmission is in Reverse (R); your vehicle must be moving forward to detect a
parking space
Your vehicle is going faster than 20 mph (35 km/h)
The system does not position the vehicle where I want in the space
Your vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the transmission (rolling forward when
Reverse [R] is selected)
An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from aligning your vehicle
properly
Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be positioned correctly
You pulled your vehicle too far past the parking space. The system performs best when
you drive the same distance past the parking space
The tires may not be installed or maintained correctly (not inflated correctly, improper
size, or of different sizes)
A repair or alteration has changed detection capabilities
