tions on the following pages occur. 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 en-
gage are outlined on the following pages.
WARNING!
• Driver inattention could lead to failure to
place the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS DO A
VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in
PARK by verifying that a solid (not blink-
ing) "P" is indicated in the instrument
cluster display and on the gear selector.
If the "P" indicator is blinking, your vehicle
is not in PARK. As an added precaution,
always apply the parking brake when exit-
ing the vehicle.
