AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist in
placing the vehicle in PARK if the situations
below 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.
WARNING!
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" indi-
cator is blinking, your vehicle is not in PARK.
As an added precaution, always apply the
parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
