Hi guys,

I'm having trouble getting this working sometimes, and other times it starts reversing almost into a 90 degree angle to the kerb...

Sometimes when I drive past an empty spot, pull up next to the car in front and put it in reverse, the "Would you like to use parking assist?" prompt doesn't come up at all... Is there a trick to it? What activates it?

Cheers

Do you see the white arrow/triangle appearing next to the "P"? It's not going to work unless you see that, then put it into reverse.

Best to read the manual that comes with the car. It's quite simple if you've read that as it covers all you need to know.

Hi mate,

I tried again today. Drove past a car, an empty spot and then stopped next to the car in front of the spot. The arrow next to the P popped up, I put it in reverse and no prompts popped up asking if I wanted to use automatic park...

Any ideas?

not optioned on your car?

When it asks you to start the park assist it gives you a preview on the center screen (between the clocks) of the parking spot. Since it can park parallel and normal to the roadside you must check the preview to see what it wants to do.
Putting it in reverse or putting the indicator to the right direction normally triggers it for me.
Might have been a hiccup that caused it not to park.
I rarely use it but it's useful in some occasions.

Nope, it's definitely on there. I've used it before a couple times. But the last few times I've tried it, it hasn't come up at all...

IME and as instructed by the dealer you have to drive quite past the next parked car for the White arrow next to the P to appear. Indicating and putting it in reverse will trigger the Parking Assist.

It looks for the space, plus low speed, plus your right turn sig. I've had it work once.
