entry into and exit from a parking space, the

system provides visual and audible information

to the driver in order to make the manoeuvres

safe. It may be necessary to move forwards

and backwards more than once.

entry into a parallel parking space

When Park Assist is activated, it

prevents a change to STOP mode of

Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation

of Park Assist restarts the engine.

The driver can take control at any time by

gripping the steering wheel.

The Park Assist system cannot in any

circumstances replace the care and

responsibility of the driver.

-

exiting from a parallel parking space

The driver must remain in control

of their vehicle ensuring that the

space remains clear throughout the

manoeuvre.

In some circumstances, the sensors

may not detect small obstacles located

in their blind spots.

The Park Assist system takes control

of the power steering for a maximum

of 4 manoeuvre cycles. The function

is deactivated after these 4 cycles.

If you think that your vehicle is not

positioned correctly, you should then

take control of the steering to carry out

the manoeuvre.

The Park Assist system cannot work

with the engine off.
