200 Driving and Operating
Press on the center console to enable
the system to search for a parking space
that is large enough and within 1.5 m (5 ft)
of the vehicle. The vehicle speed must be
below 30 km/h (18 mph).
The system cannot:
Detect whether it is a legal parking space.
Park exactly lined up with the vehicle
next to it if the spot is approached at an
angle or if the parking space is angled.
Park exactly centered in a spot that is
marked too large.
Always detect short curbs.
When enabled, APA searches for parallel
parking spaces to the right of the vehicle. To
search for a parking space to the left, turn
on the left turn signal or, if available,
change the side selection in the
infotainment display. To switch the parking
mode between parallel and perpendicular,
press and hold during the search process
or, if available, change the parking mode in
the infotainment display.
After completely passing a large enough
space, an audible beep occurs. A red stop
symbol and message is displayed.
If the vehicle is in R (Reverse), but does not
steer into the expected space, this may be
because the system is maneuvering the
vehicle into a previously detected space. The
APA system does not need service.
APA will instruct the vehicle to stop once a
large enough space is found. Follow the
displayed instructions. When instructed, shift
to R (Reverse) to engage automatic steering.
The steering wheel will briefly vibrate as a
reminder to remove hands from the steering
wheel. Check surroundings and continue
braking or accelerating as needed, and be
prepared to stop to avoid vehicles,
pedestrians, or objects.
If the vehicle exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), APA
is automatically disengaged and automatic
steering will turn off. A progress arrow
displays the status of the parking maneuver.
Depending on the space size, additional
maneuvers may be required, and there will
be additional instructions. When changing
gears, allow the automatic steering to
complete before continuing the parking
maneuver. Upon successful completion of a
maneuver, APA will beep and display a
PARKING COMPLETE message. Place the
vehicle in P (Park).
APA may automatically disengage if:
The steering wheel is used by the driver.
The maximum allowed speed is exceeded.
There is a failure with the APA system.
Electronic stability control or antilock
brakes are activated.
A high priority vehicle message is
displayed in the DIC.
