USING PARK ASSIST
WARNING:
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before operating the parking features. See PARKING SAFETY.
For assistance when parking
NOTE:
For park assist to search effectively for a space, the park assist system must maintain a distance of 0.5 m to 1.5 m (1.6 ft to 4.9 ft). The distance of 0.5 m to 1.5 m (1.6 ft to 4.9 ft is between the vehicle and the row of parked vehicles or obstacles.
As the vehicle is driven forward, the size of a potential parking space is assessed.
The park assist auto-searching feature becomes active when the vehicle's speed is less than 30 km/h (18 mph).
NOTE:
When park assist auto-searching is active, the instrument panel menu displays a park assist auto-search icon¹.
The auto-searching feature detects parallel or perpendicular spaces before the park assist icon² is selected. The touchscreen displays a park assist screen with any pre-detected parking spaces in blue. An instruction message is also displayed.
When the park assist screen is displayed and a parking space has been identified, the park assist system provides a short confirmation tone.
NOTE:
The park assist screen displays any detected parking spaces that are too small or non-manoeuvrable grey.
If more than one valid space is displayed in the park assist screen, touch the preferred parking space to change from the current selected parking space.
The park assist system may determine that other vehicles are too close, on either side, to perform a parking manoeuvre. A detected space can be rejected, even if it is large enough for the vehicle. The driver retains the option to switch park assist off and attempt the manoeuvre manually.
The park assist auto-search feature aids the driver by searching for any available parking spaces. In order to use park assist, the park assist system must still be activated via the touchscreen. See SELECTING PARK ASSIST.
The instrument panel only displays the park assist auto-search icon¹ when the vehicle is driven under 30 km/h (18 mph) and the park assist system is searching for spaces.
The following images display the different states of the park assist auto-search icons in the instrument panel:
Valid parking space on the right.
Valid parking space on the left.
Valid parking spaces on both sides.
For assistance when exiting a parking space
Select the park assist icon. See SELECTING PARK ASSIST.
The park assist system automatically determines the most appropriate park exit manoeuvre when in parked position.
The driver can override the type of park exit manoeuvre using the soft keys on the touchscreen to switch from either parallel to perpendicular or perpendicular to parallel.
The driver may also override the direction of the park exit manoeuvre by switching between performing a park exit manoeuvre either forwards or backwards.
Using the direction indicators, the driver can override the pre-selected side for a park exit manoeuvre. The operated direction indicators notify the park assist system of which side the driver intends to leave the parking space.
For the park exit mode to operate correctly, the vehicle must be parked in a space where other vehicles or objects are either:
- Parked in front of the vehicle.
- Parked in front and behind the vehicle.
In the event of a park exit manoeuvre interruption, the driver can resume the manoeuvre by selecting the Resume soft key. Alternatively, the driver can return to the original parked position by selecting the Return to Start soft key.
NOTE:
Sufficient space is required around the vehicle for park exit mode to operate correctly.
At the end of a park exit manoeuvre, the touchscreen informs the driver to resume manual driving of the vehicle. The driver can apply the accelerator when the touchscreen displays the instruction.
On application of the accelerator or input on the steering at this stage of the park exit manoeuvre, the driver immediately regains manual driving control of the vehicle without ceasing motion of the vehicle.
If the driver does not respond to the instruction to resume manual driving, then the park assist system will manoeuvre the vehicle out of the parking space to the driver’s nominated end position and stop.
All park assist features
NOTE:
During any park assist manoeuvre, the parking aid system remains active.
NOTE:
The park assist system controls the steering, acceleration, braking, and gear changes to assist the driver when using the park assist feature. The driver can use the brake pedal to slow the speed of any park assist manoeuvre while the manoeuvre is in progress.
NOTE:
Although the application of the brake pedal will slow the manoeuvring speed, the continued brake pedal application when the manoeuvre comes to rest normally to change direction will induce the feature to pause.
For all park assist modes, follow the instructions on the touchscreen until the manoeuvre is complete.
A park assist manoeuvre may be interrupted by the following:
- The parking aid system detects a potential collision risk.
- Driver input via the steering wheel.
- Vehicle pedals actuation. For example, the driver presses the brake pedal.
- Gear selection intervention.
- The vehicle doors or tailgate are open.
Before completing a park assist manouevre, the steered wheels automatically turn towards the kerb.
In the event of a park assist manoeuvre interruption, the driver can resume the manoeuvre by selecting the Resume soft key. Alternatively, the driver can return to the start of the manoeuvre by selecting the Return To Start soft key.
NOTE:
If the park assist manoeuvre is interrupted for too long without any driver input, the park assist manoeuvre is automatically cancelled and will have to begin the process again.
A park assist manoeuvre cancels if:
- The displayed Cancel soft key is selected via the touchscreen.
- The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is active.
- A parallel parking manoeuvre has exceeded the maximum of 9 shuffles.
- A perpendicular parking manoeuvre has exceeded the maximum of 7 shuffles.
- The park assist instructions are not followed.
- The vehicle's speed exceeds 7 km/h (4 mph).
- The parking manoeuvre has been interrupted for longer than 2 minutes.
- The vehicle has been driven on by selecting a gear and engaging the accelerator.
If a system fault is detected, a continuous tone sounds and the touchscreen displays a warning message. If all of the sensors are clean and the fault is not rectified after the vehicle’s electrical system is restarted, contact a retailer/authorised repairer.
