HOW TO USE AUTOMATIC PARKING ASSIST WITH BRAKING

1. Your vehicle’s Automatic Parking Assist with Braking system uses ultrasonic sensors along the front, rear and sides of your vehicle to detect a parking spot. The system is designed to help you park alongside a detected vehicle or vehicles. The system will then automatically move your vehicle into the spot. It does this by using automatic steering and braking while you use the FORWARD or REVERSE gears and remove your hands from the steering wheel when prompted. The system can detect parking spots while moving at low speeds (below 18 mph).

2. You must remain in the vehicle when the feature is active and always be prepared to take over steering or change gears as needed.

3. To turn Automatic Parking Assist with Braking on, either press the Automatic Parking Assist button or switch on the dash, or activate it through your infotainment system.

a. Depending on your vehicle, the button will look like:

i. The letter “P” above a steering wheel and the word “Auto” or 

ii. The letter “P” with lines pointing toward two boxes

b. The button may be located on the infotainment screen.

c. Depending on your vehicle, you may be able to switch between parallel parking and perpendicular parking types. To do this, select the parking type from your infotainment screen.

4. To use Automatic Parking Assist with Braking to search for a parking space on the right of the vehicle, push the Automatic Parking Assist button. The system will search for a parking space that is large enough. To search for a space on the left, use the left turn signal or select the left side from the infotainment screen.

5. You’ll hear a beep to let you know the system has detected a large enough parking space. Instructions will appear on the instrument panel or infotainment screen telling you when to stop and shift to REVERSE. Your steering wheel may also vibrate to let you know you can remove your hands from the wheel.

6. During automatic parking, the vehicle will move at idle speed and steer into the detected space.

7. Continue watching the instrument panel or infotainment screen for step-by-step instructions on when to brake, shift gears and remove your hands from the steering wheel. You’ll hear beeps as new instructions appear. A progress arrow displays the status of the parking maneuver.

8. You must always be ready to apply harder braking or override steering and gear selection as needed when Automatic Parking Assist with Braking is parking your vehicle. You can also cancel automatic parking by pressing the Automatic Parking Assist button.

a. Overriding steering and gear selection will disable automatic parking. Normal braking will only pause the maneuver. Hard braking may disable automatic parking.
