Using Active Park Assist

Press the button located on the
center console near the gearshift
lever.

The touchscreen displays a message and
a corresponding graphic to indicate it is
searching for a parking space. Use the
direction indicator to indicate which side
of your vehicle you want the system to
search.

Note: If the turn signal is not on, the system
automatically searches on your vehicle's
passenger side.

E130107

When the system finds a suitable space,
the touchscreen displays a message and
a tone sounds. Slow down, continue
moving forward and stop when another
tone sounds and a message displays on
the touchscreen (at approximately position
A), then follow the instructions on the
touchscreen.

Note: You must observe that the selected
space remains clear of obstructions at all
times in the maneuver.

Note: Active park assist may not detect
vehicles with overhanging loads (a bus or a
truck), street furniture and other items. You
must make sure the selected space is
suitable for parking.

Note: You should drive your vehicle as
parallel to the other vehicles as possible
while passing a parking space.

Note: The system always offers the last
detected parking space (for example, if the
vehicle detects multiple spaces while you
are driving, it offers the last one).

Note: If driven above approximately 20
mph (35 km/h), the touchscreen shows a
message to alert you to reduce your vehicle
speed.

Automatic Steering into Parking

Note: If your vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph
(10 km/h), the system switches off and you
need to take full control of your vehicle.
