New Car Faulty Steering

[Craig]

Does the car select a good parking place or does the driver?
If driver selected what does the car do if a too narrow place
has been chosen?  Sound an alarm?

The car decides. When autopark is selected the car looks for a place it identifies as being a gap it can get into. It goes bong, and the display says "drive forward". Then bong "engage reverse". When the rear sensors go into continuous beep it goes bong "engage forward". Repeat as necessary until you are in.

That works if you are parking on the left. If you are trying to park on the right, you switch the right hand indicator on, when the car looks for a parking space on the right.

But you are right - if the car squeezes itself into a tiny gap, cars front and aft also might not be able to get out. So apart from the almost academic exercise of getting into a tight gap once, I always select somewhere sensible and ignore the car's insistence on offering tiny gaps.
