STARTING AND OPERATING
PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
— IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is intended to
assist the driver during parallel, perpendicular, and par-
allel park exit maneuvers by identifying a proper parking
space, providing audible/visual instructions, and con-
trolling the steering wheel. The ParkSense Active Park
Assist system is defined as "semi-automatic" since the
driver maintains control of the accelerator, gear selec-
tor and brakes. Depending on the driver's parking
maneuver selection, the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system is capable of maneuvering a vehicle into a par-
allel or a perpendicular parking space on either side
(i.e., driver side or passenger side), as well as exiting a
parallel parking space.
NOTE:
•
The driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle, responsible for any surrounding objects,
and must intervene as required.
•
The system is designed to assist the driver and not
to substitute the driver.
•
During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the driver
touches the steering wheel after being instructed to
remove their hands from the steering wheel, the
system will cancel, and the driver will be required to
manually complete the parking maneuver.
•
The system may not work in all conditions (e.g. envi-
ronmental conditions such as heavy rain, snow, etc.,
or if searching for a parking space that has surfaces
that will absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
•
New vehicles from the dealership must have at least
30 miles (48 km) accumulated before the
ParkSense Active Park Assist system is fully cali-
brated and performs accurately. This is due to the
system's dynamic vehicle calibration to improve the
performance of the feature. The system will also
continuously perform the dynamic vehicle calibra-
tion to account for differences such as over or under
inflated tires and new tires.
ENABLING AND DISABLING THE
PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system
can be enabled and disabled with the
ParkSense Active Park Assist switch, located
in front of the center console, to the rear of
the gear selector.
To enable the ParkSense Active Park Assist system,
push the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch once
(LED turns on). Pushing the switch a second time will
disable the system (LED turns off).
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will turn off
automatically for any of the following conditions:
•
Parking maneuver is complete.
•
Vehicle speed is greater than 18 mph (30 km/h)
when searching for a parking space.
•
Vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (7 km/h) dur-
ing active steering guidance into the parking space.
•
Steering Wheel is touched during active steering
guidance into the parking space.
•
ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist switch is
pushed.
•
Driver's door is opened.
•
Rear liftgate is opened.
•
Electronic Stability Control/Anti-lock Braking System
intervention.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will allow a
maximum number of shifts between DRIVE and
REVERSE. If the maneuver cannot be completed within
the maximum amount of shifts, the system will cancel
and the instrument cluster display will instruct the
driver to complete the maneuver manually.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will only oper-
ate and search for a parking space when the following
conditions are present:
•
Gear selector is in DRIVE.
•
Ignition is in the RUN position.
•
ParkSense Active Park Assist switch is activated.
•
Driver's door is closed.
•
Rear liftgate is closed.
•
Vehicle speed is less than 18 mph (30 km/h).
•
The outer surface and the underside of the front
and rear fascias/bumpers are clean and clear of
snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstructions.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is driven above approximately 15 mph
(25 km/h), the instrument cluster display will instruct
the driver to slow down. If the vehicle is driven above
approximately 18 mph (30 km/h), the system will can-
cel. The driver must then reactivate the system by push-
ing the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch.
When pushed, the LED on the ParkSense Active Park
Assist switch will blink momentarily, and then the LED
will turn off if any of the preceding conditions are not
present.
