Active Parking Assist is switched on automatically when driving forwards. The system is operational at speeds of up to approximately 22 mph (35 km/h). While in operation, the system independently locates and measures parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle. When driving at speeds below 19 mph (30 km/h), you will see the parking symbol as a status indicator in the instrument cluster. By default, Active Parking Assist only displays parking spaces on the frontpassenger side. Parking spaces on the driver's side are displayed as soon as the turn signal on the driver's side is activated. If you wish to park in a space on the driver's side, the indicator on the driver's side must remain on. This must remain switched on until you acknowledge the use of Active Parking Assist by pressing the button on the multifunction steering wheel.

When a parking space has been detected, an arrow towards the right or the left also appears.

1 Detected parking space on the left

Active Parking Assist will only detect parking spaces:
- that are parallel to the direction of travel
- at least 59 in (1.5 m) wide
- at least 51 in (1.3 m) longer than your vehicle

A parking space will be displayed to you as you drive by until you are approximately 50 ft (15 m) away from it.
