fascia/bumper and/or front fascia/bumper is

Cleaning The ParkSense® System
Clean the ParkSense® sensors with water, car
wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or
hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sensors.
Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.
ParkSense® System Usage
Precautions
NOTE:
•
Ensure that the front and rear bumper are
free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to
keep the ParkSense® system operating
properly.
•
Construction equipment, large trucks,
and other vibrations could affect the per-
formance of ParkSense®.
•
When you turn ParkSense® off, the in-
strument
cluster will display
“PARKSENSE OFF.” Furthermore, once
you turn ParkSense® off, it remains off
until you turn it on again, even if you cycle
the ignition key.
•
When you move the shift lever to the
REVERSE position and ParkSense® is
turned off, the instrument cluster will dis-
play “PARKSENSE OFF” for as long as
the vehicle is in REVERSE.
•
ParkSense®, when on, will reduce the
volume of the radio when it is sounding a
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 or in front of the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind or in front of the
fascia/bumper.
•
Use the ParkSense® switch to turn the
ParkSense® system off if objects such as
bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc. are
placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the rear
fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can result
in the system misinterpreting a close ob-
ject as a sensor problem, causing the
“PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED” message to be displayed in
the instrument cluster.
•
ParkSense® should be disabled when the
liftgate is in the open position. An opened
liftgate could provide a false indication
that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
•
There may be a delay in the object detec-
tion rate if the object is moving. This will
cause the automatic braking application
to be delayed.
