To enable the ParkSense Active Park Assist system, push the
ParkSense Active Park Assist switch once (LED turns on).

To disable the ParkSense Active Park Assist system, push the
ParkSense Active Park Assist switch again (LED turns off).

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will turn off
automatically for any of the following conditions:
• The parking maneuver is completed.
• Vehicle speed greater than 18 mph (30 km/h) when

searching for a parking space.

intervention.

• The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will allow a

maximum of eight shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE. If
the maneuver cannot be completed within eight shifts, the
system will cancel and the instrument cluster display will
instruct the driver to complete the maneuver manually.

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will only operate
and search for a parking space when the following condi-
tions are present:
• The gear position is in DRIVE.

NOTE:

If the vehicle is driven above approximately

15 mph (25 km/h), the instrument cluster display will
instruct the driver to slow down. If the vehicle is driven
above approximately 18 mph (30 km/h), the system will
cancel. The driver must then reactivate the system by
pushing the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch.
• The outer surface and the underside of the front and rear

fascias/bumpers are clean and clear of snow, ice, mud,
dirt or other obstruction.

When pushed, the LED on the ParkSense Active Park
Assist switch will blink momentarily, and then the LED
will turn off if any of the above conditions are not present.

Parallel Parking Space Assistance Operation/
Display

When the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is enabled
the “Active ParkSense Searching - Push OK for Perpen-
dicular Park” message will appear in the instrument clus-
ter display. You may switch to perpendicular parking if
you desire. Push the OK button on the left side steering
wheel switch to change your parking space setting.

NOTE:
• When searching for a parking space, use the turn signal

indicator to select which side of the vehicle you want to
perform the parking maneuver. The ParkSense Active
Park Assist system will automatically search for a park-
ing space on the passenger’s side of the vehicle if the
turn signal is not activated.

• The driver needs to make sure that the selected parking

space for the maneuver remains free and clear of any
obstructions (e.g. pedestrians, bicycles, etc.).

• The driver is responsible to ensure that the selected

parking space is suitable for the maneuver and free/
clear of anything that may be overhanging or protruding
into the parking space (e.g., ladders, tailgates, etc. from
surrounding objects/vehicles).

• When seeking for a parking space, the driver should

drive as parallel or perpendicular (depending on the
type of maneuver) to other vehicles as possible.
