During vehicle start up, when the Front/Rear ParkSense
System has detected a faulted condition, the instrument
cluster display will show the "Front/Rear ParkSense
Unavailable Service Required" or the "Front/Rear
ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Sensors" message.
When the gear selector is moved into REVERSE, a vehicle
graphic will show in the instrument cluster display, along
with the display overlay “Wipe Sensors.” If the system
needs service, the display overlay will read “Service.”
Under this condition, ParkSense will not operate.
If "Front/Rear ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Sensors"
appears in the instrument cluster display make sure the
outer surface and the underside of the rear fascia/
bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other
obstructions, and then cycle the ignition. If the message
continues to appear, see an authorized dealer.
If "Front/Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service Required"
appears in the instrument cluster display, see an
authorized dealer.

RECAUTIONS
NOTE:
Ensure that the front and rear fascias/bumpers are
free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the
ParkSense system operating properly.
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of ParkSense.
When you move the gear selector to the REVERSE posi
-
tion and Front or Rear ParkSense is turned off, the
instrument cluster display will show "Off" on the vehicle
graphic arcs. This vehicle graphic will be displayed 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 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.
