WARNINGS
The system does not replace theparking brake. When you leave yourvehicle, always apply the parkingbrake and shift the transmission into park(P) for automatic transmission or first gearfor manual transmission.
You must remain in your vehiclewhen the system turns on. At alltimes, you are responsible forcontrolling your vehicle, supervising thesystem and intervening, if required. Failureto take care may result in the loss ofcontrol of your vehicle, serious personalinjury or death.
The system will turn off if amalfunction is apparent or if you revthe engine excessively. Failure totake care may result in the loss of controlof your vehicle, serious personal injury ordeath.
The system makes it easier to pull awaywhen your vehicle is on a slope without theneed to use the parking brake.
When the system is active, your vehicle willremain stationary on the slope for two tothree seconds after you release the brakepedal. This allows you time to move yourfoot from the brake to the acceleratorpedal. The brakes release automaticallywhen the engine has sufficient torque toprevent your vehicle from rolling down thegrade. This is an advantage when pullingaway on a slope, for example from a carpark ramp, traffic lights or when reversinguphill into a parking space.
The system will activate automatically onany slope that will cause significant vehiclerollback.

Troubleshooting the System
Possible CauseSymptom
You may have the traction control system switched off.The system does not look for aspace.The transmission is in reverse (R). Your vehicle mustbe moving forward to be able to detect a parking space.
The sensors may be covered. For example, snow, iceor dirt buildup. Covered sensors can affect how thesystem functions.
The system does not offer aparking space.
There is not enough room in the parking space for yourvehicle to safely park.
There is not enough space for the parking maneuver onthe opposite side of the parking space.
The parking space is more than 5 ft (1.5 m) or less than16 in (0.4 m) away.
Your vehicle speed is greater than 22 mph (35 km/h)for parallel parking, or greater than 19 mph (30 km/h)for perpendicular parking.
You recently disconnected or replaced the battery. Aftera battery disconnect, you must drive your vehicle on astraight road for a short period of time.
Your vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of thecurrent transmission position. For example, rollingforward when in reverse (R).
The system does not positionthe vehicle correctly.
An irregular curb along the parking space prevents thesystem from aligning your vehicle properly.
Improperly parked vehicles or objects are boarding thespace.
Your vehicle is too far past the parking space. Thesystem performs best when you drive the samedistance past the parking space.
You have incorrectly installed or maintained the tires.For example, not inflated correctly, improper size, or ofdifferent sizes.
A repair or alteration changes the detection capabilities.
