1. ACTIVATE
Press the park button, find a parking space and pull forward until it notifies you that it has found a spot.
Helps guide you into a parallel parking spot after searching and finding a viable option. You still are responsible for braking and monitoring your environment.
WHAT IT DOES: Automatically steers the car into a parking space.
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO: Brake or automatically shift gears
Press the park button, find a parking space and pull forward until it notifies you that it has found a spot.
Shift into reverse, release the brake slightly, and release the steering wheel.
Automatic parallel parking takes over and directs you when to shift into drive. Remember: You are responsible for braking with this feature.
This feature can detect objects in front and back of a car while parking, providing audible alerts if one or more objects are detected.
Advanced sensors read the gaps between cars in the area where you want to park. The feature won’t activate if there isn’t sufficient room to parallel park, which helps ensure that the car won’t bump into any nearby cars. When activated, this feature can then take over some of the vehicle’s steering and acceleration functions needed to park.
Some versions of automatic parking assisting features may be able to assist with perpendicular (straight-in) parking spots. Check your owner’s manual or with the technology provider for more information about your unique system’s features.
First, this feature will not allow you to activate it if a parking space does not have enough space to allow the feature to park your car. Second, when functioning properly, this feature is designed to not make contact with a car in front or behind your car as it maneuvers into the spot
This depends greatly on the version of the automatic parallel parking feature you are using. Some features are designed so that it needs to be able to detect a curb before it will allow you to activate it. Other features are nearly exclusively reliant on the space between the two cars in which you want to parallel park, and not the presence of a curb.
