262 DRIVING AND OPERATING
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
If a service message displays, check
the following conditions:
.The sensors may not be clean. Keep
the vehicle's front and rear bumpers
free of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and
slush. For cleaning instructions, see
Exterior Care0370.
.The Park Assist sensors may be
covered by frost or ice. Frost or ice
can form around and behind the
sensors and may not always be
seen; this can occur after washing
the vehicle in cold weather. The
message may not clear until the
frost or ice has melted.
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
rear sensors (for example, bike rack,
tailgate, trailer hitch, etc.). Once the
object is removed, Park Assist will
return to normal operation.
.The bumper is damaged. Take the
vehicle to your dealer for repairs.
.Other conditions, such as vibrations
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
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
