| Description of the problem | Exiting a parking lot with a 15% incline @3mph merging into the road, the front park assist sensors beeped and the vehicle automatically applied brakes instead of accelerating. The engine stalled since i had the clutch fully released, incoming traffic had to stop when they noticed the vehicle not moving. Parkpilot system will often misread the road as an obstacle and apply brakes on its own, specially below the 3mph speed. It could be a combination of the ride height of this vehicle and the layout of regular parking lots in the us. |
