How this technology works
Remote parking assistance moves a vehicle into or out of a parking space without the driver being inside the vehicle. Remote parking assistance provides supervised steering, braking, accelerating, and can change gears while moving a vehicle into or out of a parking space.
Operation
When you use this technology, you use an external device, like a mobile phone or key fob, to activate the remote parking function. You'll press a button while the vehicle is parking. When you release the button, the vehicle will stop. You should always watch how your vehicle is moving. If you see any hazards, release the remote button right away.
