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 systems 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 flat bed truck
Automatic search for parking space
To start, press the APA control
switch (on the instrument panel).
The message center will display
ACTIVE PARK SEARCHING. To
designate what side of the street to
search on, use the turn signal. The
arrow symbols >> and << in the
message center 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.
