If a service message displays and the
above conditions do not exist, take the
vehicle to your dealer for repairs.
If the Park Assist System does not
activate due to a temporary condition,
a system off message is shown on the
display. This can occur under the
following conditions:
.The driver has disabled the system.
.An object is currently blocking the

tailgate, trailer hitch, etc.). Once the
object is removed, Park Assist will

from a jackhammer or the
compression of air brakes on a very
large truck, are affecting system
performance.
Automatic Parking
Assist (APA)
Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
with Braking
If equipped, under certain conditions
APA with Braking can use sensors
based on sonar technology along the
vehicle’s front, rear and sides to detect
a parking spot, and automatically park
the vehicle with some driver
assistance. The vehicle will
automatically maneuver into a
detected spot moving at or near idle
speed. It does this by automatically
steering and braking while the driver
is responsible for acceleration and
gear shifting as needed. The driver
must always be prepared to apply
braking or additional acceleration, as
needed. A display and audible beeps
help to guide the parking maneuvers.
{Warning
APA may not always detect objects
in the parking space, objects that
are not rigid (e.g. shrubs and
chain-link fences), objects below the(Continued)

bumper, objects high off the ground
(e.g. flatbed trucks), hanging
objects, objects below ground level
(e.g. large potholes), or moving
objects (e.g. pedestrians, cyclists,
vehicles). Always verify that the
parking space is appropriate for
parking a vehicle. APA may not
respond to changes in the parking
space, such as movement of an
adjacent vehicle, or a person or
object entering the parking space.
APA does not detect or avoid traffic
that is behind or alongside of the
vehicle. Always be prepared to stop
the vehicle during the parking
maneuver.
