AUTOPARK
AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist with
placing the vehicle in PARK under certain
situations. 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”.
