WARNING!
•
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using ParkSense®. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, look
behind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, ob-
structions, and blind spots before backing
up. You are responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to your
surroundings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
Before using ParkSense®, it is strongly
recommended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly is disconnected from
the vehicle when the vehicle is not used for
towing. Failure to do so can result in injury
or damage to vehicles or obstacles be-
cause the hitch ball will be much closer to
the obstacle than the rear fascia when the
loudspeaker sounds the continuous tone.
Also, the sensors could detect the ball
mount and hitch ball assembly, depending
on its size and shape, giving a false indi-
cation that an obstacle is behind the ve-
hicle.
PARKSENSE® FRONT AND
REAR PARK ASSIST — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense® Park Assist system provides
visual and audible indications of the distance
between the rear and/or front fascia and a
detected obstacle when backing up or moving
forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver. If your
vehicle is equipped with an Automatic Trans-
mission, the vehicle brakes may be automati-
cally applied and released when performing a
reverse parking maneuver if the system detects
a possible collision with an obstacle.
NOTE:
•
The driver can override the automatic
braking function by pressing the gas
pedal,
turning ParkSense® off via
ParkSense® switch, or changing the gear
while the automatic brakes are being ap-
plied.
•
Automatic brakes will not be available if
ESC is not available.
