meters) wide.
- The parking space must have at least three visible
lines for the vehicle to park into, such as parking lines,
road markings, or distinct curbs. Autopark may not
work in a garage, for example, without three visible
parking lines.
- Autopark may not work with textured road surfaces
such as cobblestone or brick.

If driving too fast, Autopark may not be able to
accurately detect your desired parking space.
- There must be a vehicle in front of the space you
want to park in.
- A distinct curb or edge must be visible. Autopark
may not correctly identify the parking space if the
curb is not distinct, such as grass or dirt.
