AUTOPARK
AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist with plac-
ing 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.
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 on 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.

NOTE:
In some cases the ParkSense graphic will be displayed
in the instrument cluster. In these cases, the gear
selector must be returned to "P" to select desired gear.
If the driver shifts into PARK while moving, the vehicle
may AutoPark.
AutoPark will engage ONLY when vehicle speed is
1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less.
The message " Vehicle Speed Is Too High To Shift To P"
will be displayed in the instrument cluster if vehicle

in the NEUTRAL position can roll. As an added pre-
caution, always apply the parking brake when exiting
the vehicle.
