266 DRIVING AND OPERATING ‌

APA will instruct the vehicle to stop once a large enough space is found. Follow the displayed instructions.

Shift to R (Reverse) to engage

automatic steering. The steering wheel will vibrate briefly as a reminder to

remove hands from the steering wheel. APA uses idle speed and

braking to park. If idle speed is not

sufficient, gently press the accelerator.

Check surroundings and be prepared to stop to avoid vehicles, pedestrians,

or objects not detected by the system. In case the driver brakes, APA will not disengage. Manual steering by the

driver automatically disengages APA.

Vehicle speed is limited to a

maximum of 5 km/h (3 mph) during the parking maneuver.

A progress arrow displays the status of the parking maneuver. Depending on the space size, additional

maneuvers may be required, and there will be additional instructions. When

changing gears, allow the automatic

steering to complete before continuing the parking maneuver. APA will beep

and display a PARKING COMPLETE message. Apply the brakes and place the vehicle in P (Park).

APA may automatically disengage if:

. The steering wheel is used by the driver

. The maximum allowed speed is exceeded

. The parking brake is applied or the vehicle is shifted into P (Park)

. There is a failure with the APA system

. Electronic stability control or antilock brakes are activated

. A high priority vehicle message is displayed in the DIC

. The driver opens the door with an unbuckled seat belt

The brake holds the vehicle until the parking brake or brake is applied,

or the vehicle is shifted into P (Park). To cancel APA, touch O again.

When the System Does Not Seem to Work Properly

The APA system may require a short period of driving along curves to

calibrate.
