To mute the chimes temporarily, touch the speaker icon
in the bottom corner of the Park Assist view. The chimes
are muted until you shift or drive over 8 km/h.
Limitations and False Warnings
The parking sensors may not function correctly in these
situations:
• One or more of the ultrasonic sensors or cameras is
damaged, dirty, or obstructed (such as by mud, ice,
or snow, or by a vehicle bra, excessive paint, or
adhesive products such as wraps, stickers, rubber
coating, etc.).
• The object is located below approximately 20 cm
(such as a curb or low barrier).
CAUTION:
Shorter objects that are detected
(such as curbs or low barriers) can move into
the blind spot of the sensors. Model X cannot
alert you about an object while it is in the blind
spot of the sensors.
• Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, or fog) are
interfering with sensor operation.
• The object is thin (such as a sign post).
• A sensor’s operating range has been exceeded.
• The object is sound-absorbing or soft (such as
powder snow).
• The object is sloped (such as a sloped embankment).
• Model X has been parked in, or being driven in,
extremely hot or cold temperatures.
• The sensors are affected by other electrical
equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
• You are driving in a location where the sensors'
ultrasonic waves are deflected away from the vehicle
(such as driving next to a wall or pillar).
• The object is located too close to the bumper.
• A bumper is misaligned or damaged.
• An object that is mounted to Model X is interfering
with and/or obstructing the sensor (such as a bike
rack or bumper sticker).
• Model X rolls freely in the opposite direction you
selected (for example, Park Assist does not display an
alert if Model X rolls backwards down a hill while in
Drive).
Other Parking Aids
In addition to Park Assist, when shifted into Reverse, the
