Operation Manual

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
At all times you are responsible for
controlling the vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening if
required.
You must observe that the selected
space remains clear of obstructions
at all times in the manoeuver.
Vehicles with overhanging loads,
street furniture and other items may
not be detected by the system. You
must make sure that the selected space
is suitable for parking.
Do not use the system if a trailer is
attached to the vehicle.
Do not use the system if a bike rack
is attached to the back of the vehicle.
Do not use the system if an
overhanging item is attached to the
roof.
If the manoeuvre is interrupted
before completion, the system will
be disabled. The steering wheel
position will not indicate the true position
of the steering and you will have to take
control of the vehicle.
Make sure that loose clothing, your
hands or your arms do not get caught
in the rotating steering wheel.
The system will detect a suitable parallel
parking space and steer the vehicle into
the space. The system controls the
steering while the driver controls the
accelerator, transmission and brakes. The
manoeuvre can be stopped at any time by
holding the steering wheel or pressing the
active park assist switch. See At a Glance
(page 10).
The system will visually and audibly
instruct the driver throughout the
procedure to safely park the vehicle.
