CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cruise
Control system, or the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) system:
Cruise Control for cruising at a constant preset
speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) for maintaining a
set distance between you and the vehicle ahead
using Fixed Speed Cruise Control to automati -
cally adjust the preset speed.
NOTE:
In vehicles equipped with ACC, if ACC is not
enabled, Fixed Speed Cruise Control will not
detect vehicles directly ahead of you. Always be
aware of the feature selected.
Only one Cruise Control feature can operate at a
time. For example, if Fixed Speed Cruise Control is enabled, Adaptive Cruise Control will be
unavailable, and vice versa.
CRUISE CONTROL
When engaged, the Cruise Control takes over
accelerator operations at speeds greater than
20
mph (32 km/h).

PARALLEL/PERPENDICULAR PARKING
S
PACE ASSISTANCE OPERATION
When the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
enabled, the “Active ParkSense Searching - Press
or to Switch Maneuver” message will
appear in the instrument cluster display. You may
select
perpendicular, parallel, or parallel park exit.
The arrow buttons on the left side of the steering
wheel can be used to switch parking maneuvers.

Active ParkSense Searching

NOTE:
When searching for a parking space, use the
turn signal indicator to select which side of the
vehicle you want to perform the parking
maneuver. The ParkSense Active Park Assist
system will automatically search for a parking space on the passenger's side of the vehicle if
the turn signal is not activated.
The driver needs to make sure that the selected
parking space for the maneuver remains free
and clear of any obstructions (e.g. pedestrians,
bicycles, etc.).
The driver is responsible to ensure that the
selected parking space is suitable for the
maneuver and free/clear of anything that may
be overhanging or protruding into the parking
space (e.g., ladders, tailgates, etc. from
surrounding objects/vehicles).
When searching for a parking space, the driver
should drive as parallel or perpendicular
(depending on the type of maneuver) to other
vehicles as possible.
The system will only indicate the last detected
parking space (example: if passing multiple
available parking spaces, the system will only
indicate the last detected parking space for the
maneuver).
When an available parking space has been found,
and t h

e vehicle is not in position, you will be
instructed to move forward to position the vehicle
for a perpendicular or parallel parking sequence
(depending on the type of maneuver being
performed).
Space Found — Keep Moving Forward

Once the vehicle is in position, you will be
instr u

cted to stop the vehicle’s movement and
remove your hands from the steering wheel. When
the vehicle comes to a standstill (your hands still
removed from the steering wheel), you will be
instructed to place the gear selector into the
REVERSE position.
The system may then instruct the driver to wait for
steer i

ng to complete before then instructing to
check surroundings and move backward.

STARTING AND OPERATING 115
(Continued)
EXITING THE PARKING SPACE
NOTE:
The function does not work for exiting a perpen -
dicular parking space, but only exiting parallel
p arki n

g spaces.
Activation
To activate this function, push the ParkSense
Activ e

Park Assist switch and then use the steering
wheel arrow buttons to select the Parallel Park Exit
feature. After the selection, the system activates
and instructs the driver through the instrument
cluster display about the operations that have to
be carried out to perform the maneuver correctly. Selection Of The Maneuver Side
Use the right and left arrow buttons on the steering
wheel


to select between parallel or perpendicular
parking mode. Then use the direction indicators
(turn signals) to choose the direction that you want
to perform the maneuver.
During the maneuver, the system asks the driver to
shift

to REVERSE, and operate the turn signal in
the direction you want to exit. Let go of the steering
wheel and use the brake or accelerator pedals as
instructed, while the system handles the steering
automatically for exiting the parking space. If the
driver continues to carry out a voluntary or
involuntary action on the steering wheel during the
exit maneuver (touching or holding the steering
wheel to prevent its movement), the maneuver will
be interrupted.

Check Surroundings — Move Backward

Before using the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, it is strongly recommended that the
ball mount and hitch ball assembly be discon -
nected from the vehicle when the vehicle is
not us e

d for towing. Failure to do so can result
in injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles
because the hitch ball will be much closer to
the obstacle than the rear fascia when the
vehicle sounds the continuous tone. Also, the
sensors could detect the ball mount and hitch
ball assembly, depending on its size and
shape, giving a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the vehicle.
CAUTION!
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize
every obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might be temporarily detected
or not detected at all. Obstacles located above
or below the sensors will not be detected
when they are in close proximity.
WARNING!
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using
the ParkSense Active Park Assist system in
order to be able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. It is recommended that
the driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system.
CAUTION!
