When is park assist active?
Front:  the system is active from  the time the engine is started until the vehicle exceeds a  speed of approximately 10
mph (15 km/h). It is also active when the vehicle is backing up. Front park assist reactivates automatically  when the
vehicle's speed goes under 10 mph (15 km/h).
Rear:  the system is active when the engine is running and  reverse  gear is selected.
NOTE:
"PARK ASSIST ACTIVE"  will be  displayed.
 If the vehicle is equipped with front  and  rear park assist, both systems will either be  activated or deactivated
together. They cannot be  used separately.
 The indicator light in the button (see the illustration on page 51) will light up to indicate that park assist system(s)
are activated.
