The countdown starts only once the SMS is sent: the vehicle shows on the map, under Parked on Home, and on the Lock Screen. If you cancel in Messages, nothing starts.

Keep in mind

  • The vehicle needs a plate to park.
  • The first time, the app asks for your location to put the pin where you are.
  • Outside paid hours, on weekends and holidays, the app tells you before you send.
  • You can have several vehicles parked at once.
  • We remind you 10 minutes before your time runs out.
