Servicing
• If the image comes on while the vehicle is not in R (Reverse), have
the system inspected by your authorized dealer.
• If the image is not clear, check if anything is covering the lens such as
dirt, mud, ice, snow, etc. If the image is still not clear after cleaning,
have your system inspected by your authorized dealer.
ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (APA) (IF EQUIPPED)
Active park assist (APA) will detect an available parallel parking space
and automatically steer the vehicle into the space (hands-free) while you
control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system will visually
and/or audibly instruct the driver to park the vehicle.
WARNING: This system is designed to be a supplementary park
aid. It may not work in all conditions and is not intended to
replace the driver’s attention and judgment. The driver is responsible
for avoiding hazards and maintaining a safe distance and speed, even
when the APA is in use.
Conditions in which the system may not work:
• Something passes between the front bumper and the space such as a
pedestrian or cyclist
• The edge of the vehicle is high from the ground such as a bus, tow
truck, or flatbed truck
Automatic search for parking space
To start, press the APA switch
located on the lower portion of the
center console. To designate what
side of the street to search on, use
the turn signal. The information
display will indicate on which side of
the vehicle APA will park. (If the
turn signal is not on, the system will
automatically search the passenger
side.) The information display will
inform you and a chime will sound
when a suitable space is found.
