224 Driving and Operating
Turn off Park Assist when towing a trailer to
prevent unwanted beeps and when a bike
rack is attached to ensure proper operation.
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, seeExterior Care
0 306.
.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)
If equipped, under certain conditions
Automatic Parking Assist (APA) 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 idle speed. It does
this by automatically steering while the
driver is responsible for braking, acceleration
and gear shifting as needed. The driver mustalways be prepared to apply braking or
additional acceleration, as needed. A display
and beeps help to guide the parking
maneuvers.
{Warning
APA does not apply the brakes. 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 such
(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.
