When Active Park Assist has completed the automated steering, the

The system can also be deactivated at any time by the following:
• Pressing the APA control switch
• Grabbing the steering wheel
• Exceeding a vehicle speed of 18 mph (30 km/h) for 30 seconds during
Active Park Searching
• Exceeding a vehicle speed of 6 mph (10 km/h) during automatic
steering
• Deactivating the AdvanceTrac system or the system has activated on
a slippery or loose surface
• ABS activation or failure
• Any door (except the driver's door) opens
• Something touching the steering wheel.
If a fault is present in the system, the message ACTIVE PARK FAULT
will be displayed followed by a chime. Contact an authorized dealer to
have your vehicle serviced.
The system should not be used if:
• A foreign object (i.e. bike rack, trailer, etc.) is attached to the front or
rear of the vehicle or at another location close to the sensors.
• The front bumper or side sensors are damaged (i.e. in a collision) or
obstructed by a foreign object (i.e. front bumper cover).
