If equipped, under certain conditions Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist (APA) can use sensors based on sonar technology along the vehicle’s front, rear and sides to detect a parking spot and automatically park the vehicle. The vehicle will automatically maneuver into a detected spot moving at or near idle speed. It does this by automatically steering, braking, accelerating, and gear shifting. The driver must always be prepared to apply braking if necessary. A display and beeps help to guide the parking maneuvers.
To activate APA, press O on the Home Page of the infotainment display for the system to begin searching for a parking space while driving forward at no greater than 30 km/h (18 mph). By default, APA searches for parallel parking spaces to the right of the vehicle up to the sensors’ range of 1.5 m (5 ft). 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 press and hold O while searching for a valid parking spot or, if available, change the parking mode in the infotainment display.
After completely passing an eligible parking spot, a beep sounds and a red stop symbol is displayed in the driver information center. Generally, APA selects the nearest empty parking spot behind the vehicle, but under some conditions may select a space that is further back. Slow down and bring the vehicle to a complete stop to begin. Follow the displayed instructions.
