AutoPark — If Equipped
AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist in placing the vehicle in PARK should the
situations 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 engage are outlined on the following pages.
• 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 blinking)
"P" is indicated in the Instrument Cluster Display and near 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 exiting the vehicle.
• AutoPark is a supplemental feature. It is not designed to replace the need to shift
your vehicle into PARK. 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.
