WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when performing
parallel or perpendicular parking maneuvers
even when using the ParkSense Active Park
Assist system. Always check carefully behind
and in front of your vehicle, look behind and
in front of you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, ob-
structions, and blind spots before backing up
and moving forward. You are responsible for
safety and must continue to pay attention to
your surroundings. Failure to do so can result
in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
• The ParkSense Active Park Assist system
is only a parking aid and it is unable to
recognize every obstacle, including small
obstacles. Parking curbs might be tempo-
rarily detected or not detected at all. Ob-
stacles located above or below the sensors
will not be detected when they are in close
proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system in order to be able to stop in time
when an obstacle is detected. It is recom-
mended that the driver looks over his/her
shoulder when using the ParkSense Active
Park Assist system.
