AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist with placing the vehicle in PARK should the situations on the following pages occur. It is a back-up system and should not be relied upon as the primary method by which the driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.
The conditions under which AutoPark will engage are outlined on the following pages.
Driver inattention could lead to failure to place the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in PARK by verifying that a solid (not blinking) “P” is indicated in the instrument cluster display and near the gear selector. If the “P” indicator is blinking, your vehicle is not in PARK. As an added precaution, always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
AutoPark is a supplemental feature. It is not designed to replace the need to shift your vehicle into PARK. It is a back-up system and should not be relied upon as the primary method by which the driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.
If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver turns off the engine, the vehicle may AutoPark.

Vehicle is equipped with a rotary shifter and an 8-speed transmission
Vehicle is not in PARK
Vehicle speed is 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less
Ignition is switched from ON/RUN to ACC
For Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ equipped vehicles, the engine will turn off and the ignition switch will change to ACC position. After 30 minutes the ignition switches to OFF automatically, unless the driver turns the ignition switch off.

The message “AutoPark Engaged Shift To P Then Shift To Gear” will display in the instrument cluster.
In some cases the ParkSense graphic will be displayed in the instrument cluster, causing the “AutoPark Engaged Shift To P Then Shift To Gear” to not be seen. In these cases, the shifter must be returned to “P” to select desired gear.
If the driver shifts into PARK while moving, the vehicle may AutoPark.
AutoPark will engage ONLY when vehicle speed is 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less.
The message “Vehicle Speed Is Too High To Shift To P” will be displayed in the instrument cluster if vehicle speed is above 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h).
If vehicle speed is above 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h), the transmission will default to NEUTRAL until the vehicle speed drops below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h). A vehicle left in the NEUTRAL position can roll. As an added precaution, always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
4WD Low — If Equipped
AutoPark will be disabled when operating the vehicle in 4WD Low.
The message “AutoPark Disabled” will be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Additional customer warnings will be given when all of these conditions are met:
Vehicle is not in PARK
Driver’s door is ajar
Vehicle is in 4WD Low range
The message “AutoPark Not Engaged” will be displayed in the instrument cluster. A warning chime will continue until you shift the vehicle into PARK or the driver’s door is closed.
ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in PARK by looking for the “P” in the instrument cluster display and near the shifter. As an added precaution, always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
