STARTING AND OPERATING133
AUTOPARK
AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist in
placing the vehicle in PARK if the situations below
occur. It is a back up system and should not be
relied upon as the primary method by which the
driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.
The conditions under which AutoPark will engage
are outlined on the following pages. ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK
that your vehicle is
in PARK by looking for the “P” in the instrument
cluster display and on the gear selector. As an
added precaution, always apply the parking brake.
If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver
attempts to turn off the engine, if certain
conditions are met, the vehicle will AutoPark,
automatically shifting the vehicle’s transmission
to the PARK position. The gear selector will
automatically reset itself to the PARK position.
The vehicle’s ignition will then move to the OFF
position (engine off). When AutoPark is activated
the instrument cluster will display the message
“AutoPark Engaged”.
AutoPark will engage when all of these conditions
are met:
Vehicle is equipped with a gear selector
Vehicle is not in PARK
Vehicle speed is 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less
Driver has pushed the ENGINE START/STOP
button
If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver exits the
vehicle with the engine running, if certain
conditions are met, the vehicle will AutoPark,
automatically shifting the vehicle’s transmission to
the PARK position. The Electric Park Brake SAFE
HOLD feature will also activate in some conditions
Ú page 139. AutoPark will engage when all of these conditions
are met:
Vehicle is equipped with a gear selector
Vehicle is not in PARK
Vehicle speed is 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less
Driver’s door is ajar
Driver’s seat belt is unbuckled
Brake pedal is not pressed
The message “ AutoPark Engaged ” will display in
the instrument cluster.
AutoPark In Stop/Start Autostop Mode
AutoPark will engage when all of these condi -
tions are met:
Vehicle is equipped with a gear selector
Vehicle is not in PARK
Vehicle speed is 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less
Driver’s door is ajar
Driver’s seat belt is unbuckled or brake pedal is
not pressed
The message “ AutoPark Engaged ” will display in
the instrument cluster.
WARNING!
Driver inattention could lead to failure to place
the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS DO A VISUAL
CHECK that your vehicle is in PARK by verifying
that a solid (not blinking) “P” is indicated in
the instrument cluster display and near the
gear selector. If the “P” indicator is blinking,
your vehicle is not in PARK. As an added
precaution, always apply the parking brake
when exiting the vehicle.
AutoPark is a supplemental feature. It is not
designed to replace the need to shift your
vehicle into PARK. It is a back up system and
should not be relied upon as the primary
method by which the driver shifts the vehicle
into PARK.
CAUTION!
Engine will remain running.
