Automatic Parking
Assist (APA)
If equipped, APA searches for and
steers the vehicle into parallel or
perpendicular parking spots. When
using APA, you must still shift gears,
and control the brakes and

Warning (Continued)
soft or narrow, objects high off the
ground such as flatbed trucks,
or objects below ground level
such as large potholes. Always
verify that the parking space is
appropriate for parking a vehicle.
APA does not respond to changes
in the parking space, such as
movement of an adjacent vehicle,
or a person or object entering the
parking space. APA does not
detect or avoid traffic that is
behind or alongside of the
vehicle. Always be prepared to
stop the vehicle during the
parking maneuver.
The system is available when the
vehicle speed is below
30 km/h (18 mph). Press the APA
button,
O, to enable the system to
begin searching for a space that is
large enough to park in. The system
cannot detect whether it is a legal
parking space.
If the vehicle is equipped with
perpendicular parking mode, press
and hold the APA button during the
search process to switch the APA
parking mode between
perpendicular and parallel parking.
APA searches for parking spaces to
the right of the vehicle. To search for
a parking space to the left, turn on
the left turn signal.
After completely passing a large
enough space bordered by two
vehicles or other objects, an audible
beep occurs and a red symbol
displays in the DIC.
