Selection Of The Maneuver Side
Use the turn signal to choose the direction that you
want to perform the maneuver. Use the right arrow indi-
cator to perform the maneuver to the right side and use
the left arrow indicator to perform the maneuver to the
left.
During the maneuver, the system instructs the driver to
shift to REVERSE, and operate the turn signal in the
direction you want to exit. Let go of the steering wheel
and use the brake or accelerator pedals as instructed,
while the system handles the steering automatically for
exiting the parking space. If the driver continues to
carry out a voluntary or involuntary action on the steer-
ing wheel during the exit maneuver (touching or holding
the steering wheel to prevent its movement), the
maneuver will be interrupted.
Shift To Reverse Then Move Backward
Shift To Drive Then Move Forward
End Of Maneuver
The semi-automatic maneuver ends when the display
shows the message of a completed maneuver. At the
end of the maneuver, the system gives back the vehicle
control to the driver.
Important Information
•
If the sensors undergo impact which alters their
position, the system operation could be greatly
affected.
•
The sensors reach top performance after the vehicle
has gone about 30 miles (50 km) due to the
dynamic tire circumference calculations used for
parking.
•
Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, taking care
not to scratch or damage them. The sensors must
not be covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or
debris. Failure to do so can result in the system not
working properly. The ParkSense system might not
detect an obstacle behind or in front of the fascia/
bumper, or it could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind or in front of the fascia/bumper.
STARTING AND OPERATING
•
Construction equipment, large trucks, and other
vibrations could affect the performance of
ParkSense.
•
Sensors may detect a nonexistent obstacle (echo
noise) due to mechanical noises, for example while
washing the vehicle or in the case of rain, strong
wind, and hail.
•
The sensors may not detect objects of a particular
shape or made from particular materials (very thin
poles, trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes, anti-
parking posts, pavements, rubbish bins, motor
vehicles, etc.). Always take great care to check that
the vehicle and its path are actually compatible with
the parking place identified by the system.
•
The use of wheels and tires that are different size to
the original equipment could affect the operation of
the system.
•
The operation of the rear sensors is automatically deac-
tivated when the trailer's electric plug is inserted in the
vehicle's tow hook socket, while the front sensors stay
active and can provide acoustic and visual warnings. If
this situation occurs, Active Park Assist will not work.
The rear sensors are automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
•
In the case of parking maneuvers on roads with
inclines, the performance of the system could be
inferior and it may deactivate.
•
If a parking maneuver is being carried out between
two parked vehicles alongside a curb, the system
may cause the vehicle to drive up onto the curb.
•
Some maneuvers at very tight bends might be
impossible to be carried out.
•
Take great care to ensure that conditions do not change
during the parking maneuver (e.g. if there are persons
and/or animals in the parking place, moving vehicles,
etc.) and intervene immediately if necessary.
