Park Assist Systems

Activation

Warning: The park assist systems are for aid only. It is the

driver's responsibility to be aware of their surroundings

when parking or reversing.

PDC will activate automatically at ignition on and when D

(Drive), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral) is selected. The sensors

activated depend on which gear is selected.

When the tow bar socket is used for tow bar mounted items,

such as an accessory bike rack or trailer, the rear parking sensors

and Active Park Assist systems will be deactivated.

Park Distance Control

Caution: It is always the driver’s responsibility to detect

obstacles and estimate the vehicle’s distance from them.

Some overhanging objects, barriers, thin obstructions or

painted surfaces which could possibly cause damage to the

vehicle may not be detected by the system. Always be aware

of your surroundings when using the park assist systems.

Deactivation

PDC will deactivate when the vehicle speed exceeds 11 mph (18

km/h). The system is reactivated automatically when the vehicle

speed is lower.

To manually deactivate PDC press

. The indicator LED will

be set to off to show the system is deactivated.

Caution: Do not clean the sensors with abrasive or sharp

objects. This can damage the sensors.

For reliable operation, the sensors in the front and rear

bumpers should be kept free from ice, frost and grime. If a high

pressure spray is used to clean the vehicle, the sensors should

only be sprayed briefly and not from a distance of less than 200

mm (8 inches).

The Park Distance Control (PDC) system will give a series of

warning tones if objects are detected within range of the vehicle.

Driving 5.39

Operation

Caution: In heavy rain or similar adverse conditions, the

PDC sensors may not always be able to accurately measure

distance to close objects. A fully laden vehicle or irregular

obstacles may also cause inaccurate measurements. Take

extra care in these circumstances.

If an obstacle is detected to the front or rear of the vehicle, a

series of warning tones will be heard from the front or rear

speaker respectively. The frequency of the warning tones

increase as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.

The beep becomes a continuous tone when an obstacle is

detected at or within approximately 0.3 m (1 ft) from the front or

1 m (3.3 ft) from the rear of the vehicle.

If the Warn Early function is set to on (Refer to ’Audio’, page

10.6), then the front and rear sensor detections begins at 1 m (3.3

ft).

If an ultrasonic frequency using the same frequency band as

the sensors is detected, the PDC system can give spurious

warning tones.

The PDC system uses inner and outer sensors. When

manoeuvring forward into a garage, the front outer sensors will

cease detection if they detect a stationary or receding object for

three seconds or more. This allows detection directly in front or

behind the vehicle in this type of manoeuvre.

The LED will flash if a fault is detected in the system and a single

three second tone will be heard (only once per ignition cycle).

The system is automatically disabled when a fault is detected.

5.40 Driving

Active Park Assist

Caution: Parking spaces that are partially occupied may be

measured incorrectly. Examples of partially occupied parking

spaces can be trailer draw bars, over grown parking spaces or

incorrect measurement due to heavy rain or snow. Care

should be taken to make sure the space is clear.

(Optional)

Active Park Assist measures the road on both sides of the vehicle

to locate a parking space the vehicle will fit in. The active park

system will also provide vehicle steering to assist parking in

spaces.

Caution: Active Park Assist will not be able to detect

objects above the sensor height range when a parking space

is measured. These object will not be included when the

parking procedure is calculated. Active Park Assist should not

be used around objects such as overhanging loads or tail

sections of goods vehicles.

Important Safety Information

Active Park Assist is only an aid. It is the driver's responsibility to

be aware of their surroundings when parking or reversing. Make

sure that no persons, animals or objects are in the vehicle's path.

Active Park Assist is not available if PDC is deactivated or not

functioning.

Active Park Assist can be cancelled at any time by manually

controlling the steering wheel.

Warning: While parking, the vehicle can move into areas

of oncoming traffic. This can cause a collision with other

road users. Stop the vehicle or cancel the Active Park Assist

parking procedure if necessary.

Active Park Assist may also display parking spaces that are not

suitable such as prohibited parking zones, driveways or

unsuitable road surfaces.

Active Park Assist should only be used for roads that are

parallel or at right angles to the direction of travel and on the

same road level. The system should not be used for measuring

spaces on bends or on raised footpaths.

Driving 5.41

Parking Space Detection

Active Park Assist does not assist with parking in right angle space

if:

Active Park Assist operates at speeds of up to approximately

35 km/h (22 mph).

• two parking spaces are located directly next to each other

• the parking space is directly next to a low obstacle such as a

low kerb

passenger side as standard.

instrument cluster. When a parking space has been detected that

the vehicle will fit into, a left or right arrow will show which side

of the vehicle the space is on.

Parking spaces on the driver's side will be displayed if the turn

signal on the driver's side is on. The indicator must remain on,

until Active Park Assist is confirmed.

Active Parking Assist will only detect parking spaces that are:

• parallel to the direction of travel and at least 1.5 m (5 ft) wide

and 1 m (3.3ft) longer than your vehicle.

• at right angles to the direction of travel and at least 1 m wider

than your vehicle.

Active Park Assist is not able to measure the depth of a

parking space if it is at right angles to the vehicle. You must judge

if your vehicle will fit in the parking space.

The system automatically determines if the parking space is

parallel or at right angles to the direction of travel.

A parking space is displayed while you are driving past it, until

you are approximately 15 m (50 ft) away from it.

or continue to drive away from the space.

• Release the steering wheel and slowly reverse the vehicle,

being ready to brake at all times. Reversing at a speed above

10 km/h (6 mph) will cancel Active Park Assist.

Caution: Objects that are not at ground level can appear

further away than they are. Care should be take when

manoeuvring around items such as tow bars and vehicle

bumpers.

Additional manoeuvring may be required in tight parking spaces.

If it is necessary for the vehicle to move forward, a message will

show in the right message window. Select D (Drive) while the

vehicle is stationary. Active Parking Assist will then counter-steer

to change the approach angle.

The 360° camera system uses four cameras (front, rear and both

door mirrors) to give a complete view of the vehicle's immediate

surroundings. The system can then be used in a split screen view

to suit different driving scenarios.

Rear Cross Traffic Warning

(Optional)

Warning: Rear Cross Traffic Warning is an aid only. The

system cannot detect pedestrians walking behind the vehicle.

It always is the driver's responsibility to be aware of their

surroundings when parking or reversing.

Rear Traffic Cross Warning is not available if the vehicle is

parked on an incline or if PDC is deactivated.

The Rear Cross Traffic Warning (RCTW) uses the blind spot assist

radar modules to alert the driver when a moving vehicle or

bicycle approaches behind your vehicle₁.

To aid with parking the vehicle, a dynamic overlay screen will be

shown over the camera image. The overlay screen adjusts with

steering angle and shows the following information:

1. Distance markers (0.3 m and 4.0 m / 1 ft and 13 ft)

2. Projected tire path

3. Maximum vehicle width guideline (includes door mirrors)

Activation by Reverse

The top 360° view with rear view can be set to activate

automatically when R (Reverse) is selected (Refer to ’Assistance’,

page 10.3).

RCTW only operates for moving vehicles. Static obstructions will not

be detected but will activate the parking sensors instead.

Driving 5.45

When reverse gear is selected and the reverse camera and

parking sensors are active, the RCTW system searches for moving

objects within 3 meters (10 ft) of your vehicle. If an object or

vehicle is detected, an audible warning is given and a warning is

shown on the instrument cluster. The camera display in the

infotainment screen will also automatically change to full screen

rear view to give the driver a view of the collision risk. A warning

will also be shown in the direction of the detected vehicle.

Drive Away Assist

Warning: Drive Away Assist is an aid only. The system

cannot always clearly detect obstructions. The system may

limit the vehicle speed without warning or fail to limit

vehicle speed depending on the situation. It always is the

driver's responsibility to be aware of their surroundings

when parking or reversing.

Drive Away Assist is not available if PDC is deactivated or not

functioning or if the vehicle is parked on an incline.

If the driver does not intervene and there is still the risk of a

collision, then the vehicle will automatically apply the brakes₁.

Drive Away Assist (DAA) helps reduce the risk of an impact when

you first drive away by detecting objects or vehicles in front of the

vehicle. If an obstruction is detected the vehicle's speed will be

reduced to 2 km/h (1 mph). If a severe enough obstruction is

detected, LIM will also be shown in the infotainment screen.

RCTW can be set to on or off with the Manoeuver Assist setting

(Refer to ’Assistance’, page 10.3)

DDA is active when the transmission is in R (reverse) or D (Drive)

and if the detected obstruction is less than 1 meters (3 ft) away.

DDA can be set to on or off with the Manoeuver Assist setting

(Refer to ’Assistance’, page 10.3)

Automatic braking is only available on vehicles with active park assist.
