• When the system instructs the driver to remove their hands from the steering wheel, the driver should check
their surroundings and begin to back up slowly.

the maneuver cannot be completed within eight shifts, the
system will cancel and the instrument cluster display will
instruct the driver to complete the maneuver manually.
• The system will cancel the maneuver if the vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (7 km/h) during active steering guidanceinto the parking space. The system will provide a warning
to the driver at 3 mph (5 km/h) that tells them to slowdown. The driver is then responsible for completing the
maneuver if the system is canceled.
• If the system is canceled during the maneuver for any reason, the driver must take full control of the vehicle. When the vehicle has reached the end of its backward move
-
ment, the system will instruct the driver to check their

382 STARTING AND OPERATING
Once the driver pushes OK for a perpendicular parking
maneuver, the “Active ParkSense Searching - Push OK for
Parallel Park” message will appear in the instrument cluster
display.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 seeking for a parking space, the driver should drive as parallel or perpendicular (depending on the type of
maneuver) to other vehicles as possible.
• The feature 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).

Your vehicle is now in the perpendicular park position.
When the maneuver is complete, the driver will be instructed
to check the vehicle's parking position. If the driver is satis-
fied with the vehicle position, they should shift to PARK. The
"Active ParkSense Complete - Check Parking Position"

Active Park Sense Complete — Check Parking PositionWARNING!
Drivers must be careful when performing parallel or
perpendicular parking maneuvers even when using the
ParkSense Active Park Assist system. Always check
carefully behind and in front of your vehicle, look
behind and in front of you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and
blind spots before backing up and moving forward. You
are responsible for safety and must continue to pay
attention to your surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
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.
• 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 recom -
mended that the driver looks over his/her shoulder
when using the ParkSense Active Park Assist system.
