
When you turn ParkSense off, the instrument
cluster display will show the “ParkSense Off”
message for two seconds. Furthermore, once
you turn ParkSense off, it remains off until
you turn it on again, even if you cycle the igni-
tion.

When you move the gear selector to the
REVERSE position and ParkSense is turned
off, the instrument cluster display will show
the “ParkSense Off” message. This message
will be displayed for as long as the vehicle is
in REVERSE.
NOTE:
The “ParkSense Off” message will not display
while the vehicle is in 4WD Low position.

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 prop-
erly. The ParkSense system might not detect
an obstacle behind 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 obstacles such as
bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc. are
placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the
rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close
obstacle as a sensor problem, causing the
“PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR
SENSORS” message to appear in the instru-
ment cluster display.

ParkSense should be disabled when the
swing gate is in the open position. An open
swing gate could provide a false indication
that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
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, obstructions, 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.

Before using ParkSense, it is strongly
recommended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly be 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 vehicle 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 indica-
tion that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
CAUTION!

ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle,
including 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.
WARNING!
