Automatic Parking Assist
(APA) with Braking
If equipped, APA searches for and
steers the vehicle into parallel and
perpendicular parking spots. When
using APA, you must still shift gears,
while the system applies the brakes
and accelerator. A display and
audible beeps help to guide parking
maneuvers.
Do not use APA when towing a
trailer.
Warning
APA may not detect objects in the
parking space, objects that are
soft or narrow, objects high off the
ground such as flatbed trucks,
objects below ground level such

as large potholes, or moving
objects (e.g. pedestrians). Always
verify that the parking space is
appropriate for parking a vehicle.
APA does not respond to changes
in the parking space, such as
movement of an adjacent vehicle,
or a person or object entering the
parking space. APA does not
detect or avoid traffic that is
behind or alongside of the
vehicle. Always be prepared to
stop the vehicle during the
parking maneuver.
Press switch 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,
touch icons on screen during the
search process or, if available,
change the parking mode in the
infotainment display.
