position P or switch off the engine.
While the automatic transmission is in neutral
position N, the Park Assist is switched off if

electronic parking brake.
The Park Assist monitors the surroundings of
your vehicle with four sensors in the front
bumper and two sensors in the rear bumper.

integrated in the front and rear bumpers.
Make sure that the bumpers are clear of dirt,
ice and slush in the area of the sensors, as
