ParkSense® System Usage
Precautions
NOTE:
•
Ensure that the rear bumper is free of
snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the
ParkSense® system operating properly.
•
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vi-
brations could affect the performance of
ParkSense® or render the system tempo-
rarily unavailable.
•
When you turn ParkSense® off in DRIVE,
the
instrument cluster will display
ⴖ
PARKSENSE OFF
ⴖ
for five seconds. Fur-
thermore, once you turn ParkSense® off,
it remains off until you turn it on again,
even if you cycle the ignition.
•
When you move the shift lever to the
REVERSE position and ParkSense® is
turned off, the Driver Information Display
(DID) will display “PARKSENSE OFF”
message for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE.
•
ParkSense® will reduce the volume of the
radio when it is sounding an audio tone.
•
Clean the ParkSense® sensors regularly,
taking care not to scratch or damage
them. The sensors must not be covered
with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris.
Failure to do so can result in the system
not working properly. The ParkSense®
system might not detect an obstacle be-
hind the fascia/bumper, or it could pro-
vide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the fascia/bumper.
•
Ensure the ParkSense® system is OFF if
objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer
hitches, etc., are placed within 12 inches
30 (cm) from the rear fascia/bumper. Fail-
ure to do so can result in the system
misinterpreting a close object as a sensor
problem, causing the “PARKSENSE UN-
AVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” mes-
sage to be displayed in the Driver Infor-
mation Display (DID).
CAUTION!
•
ParkSense® is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, includ-
ing small obstacles. Parking curbs might
be temporarily detected or not detected at
all. Obstacles located above or below the
sensors will not be detected when they are
in close proximity.
•
The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using ParkSense® in order to be able to
stop in time when an obstacle is detected.
It is recommended that the driver looks
over
his/her shoulder when using
ParkSense®.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the Rear Park Assist sys-
tem. Always check carefully behind your
vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestri-
