PARKSENSE SYSTEM
Vehicles With Rear Parking Sensors Only
The parking sensors, located in the rear
bumper, detect obstacles while the vehicle is
in REVERSE. When an obstacle is detected, an
acoustic alert will sound and visual indications
will be displayed on the instrument cluster.
Rear Sensor Locations
Engagement/Disengagement
To turn the system off, push the ParkSense
System button located to the left of the head
-
light switch. The indicator light within the
button will illuminate when the system is
turned off. Pushing the button a second time
will turn the system back on, and the indicator
light will turn off.
Park Sensors System On/Off Button
The indicator light within the ParkSense
System button will also be on in case of system
failure. If the button is pushed with a system
failure, the indicator light will flash for approx
-
imately five seconds. The light will then stay on
constantly.
NOTE:
When the ignition is ON/RUN, the ParkSense
System keeps the last state when the engine
was stopped (activated or deactivated) in its
memory.
System Activation/Deactivation
The system, when engaged, is automatically
activated by engaging the REVERSE gear. It is
deactivated by engaging another gear.
Acoustic Signal
When REVERSE is engaged and there is an
obstacle behind the vehicle, an acoustic signal
with variable frequency will sound.
The acoustic signal increases in frequency
as the distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle decreases.
The acoustic signal becomes continuous
when the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle is less than 11 inches (30 cm),
and stops if the distance increases.
The acoustic signal is constant if the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is unchanged.
NOTE:
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is considered.
An acoustic signal will not sound if the vehicle
is in PARK.
Indication On Display
The driver can select the type of warning they
would like to be displayed through the radio
system. To access the function on the main
menu, select in the following order:
1. “Settings.”
2. “Driver Assistance.”
