When you think your vehicle is properly
parked, or you hear a solid tone from the
parking aid (accompanied by a
touchscreen display message and a
chime), bring your vehicle to a complete
stop.
When automatic steering is finished, the
touch screen displays a message and a
tone sounds, indicating that the active park
assist process is done. The driver is
responsible for checking the parking job
and making any necessary corrections
before putting the transmission in park (P).
Deactivating the Park Assist
