large enough to park. The system cannot detect whether it is a legal parking space.

If the vehicle is equipped with perpendicular parking mode, press

and hold O 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, an audible beep occurs and a red symbol displays in the DIC.

If the vehicle is in R (Reverse), but does not steer into the expected space, this may be because the system is maneuvering the vehicle into a previously detected space. The APA system does not need service.

APA will instruct the vehicle to stop once a large enough space is found. Follow the instructions in the DIC. When instructed to drive in reverse, shift to R (Reverse) to engage automatic steering. The steering wheel will vibrate briefly as a reminder to remove hands from the steering wheel. Check surroundings and continue braking or accelerating as needed, and be prepared to stop

to avoid vehicles, pedestrians, or objects. If the vehicle exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), APA is automatically disengaged. A DIC 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. 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.

.There is a failure with the APA system.

.Electronic stability control or antilock brakes are activated.
