ParkSense switch LED will be off when the
system is enabled. If the Rear ParkSense
switch is pushed, and requires service, the
Rear ParkSense switch LED will blink mo-
mentarily, and then the LED will be on.
Rear ParkSense will remember the previous
state when the vehicle is switch off.
CAUTION!
After turning OFF the ignition, the Rear
ParkSense remains in this setting until the
next ignition cycle, even in the case of
changing the setting of starting RUN to
OFF and then again in RUN.
Operation With A Trailer
The operation of the rear sensors is automati-
cally deactivated when the trailer’s electric
plug is inserted in the vehicle’s tow hook
socket. In this situation, the ParkSense
Switch LED turns on.
The rear sensors are automatically reacti-
vated when the trailer’s cable plug is re-
moved.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
• Ensure that the outer surface and the un-
derside of the rear bumper is clean and
clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other ob-
struction to keep the Rear ParkSense sys-
tem operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vi-
brations could affect the performance of
Rear ParkSense.
• Clean the Rear ParkSense sensors regu-
larly, 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 Rear ParkSense sys-
tem might not detect an obstacle behind
the fascia/bumper, or it could provide a
false indication that an obstacle is behind
the fascia/bumper.
• Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must
not be placed within 12 inches (30 cm)
from the rear fascia/bumper while driving
the vehicle. Failure to do so can result in
the system misinterpreting a close object
as a sensor problem, causing a failure indi-
cation to be displayed in the instrument
cluster.
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 back-
ing 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.
• 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 because 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
