recurring or frequent system faults, contact
an authorized dealer to have your vehicle
serviced.

Troubleshooting the System

The system does not look for a space

The traction control system may be off

Any door (except the driver’s) may not be completely closed

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 the vehicle in order to park

There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on the opposite side of the parking
space

The vehicle is farther than 6.5 ft (2 m) from the parking space

The vehicle is closer than 16 in. (40 cm) from neighboring parked vehicles

The transmission is in R (Reverse); the vehicle must be moving forward to detect a
parking space

The system does not position the vehicle where I want in the space

The vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the transmission (i.e. rolling forward
when R [Reverse] is selected)

The transmission is in R (Reverse); the vehicle must be moving forward to detect a
parking space

An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from aligning the vehicle
properly

Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be positioned correctly

The vehicle was pulled 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 (i.e. not inflated correctly, improper
size, or of different sizes)

A repair or alteration has changed detection capabilities
