STARTING AND OPERATING
(Continued)
If it’s necessary to keep the trailer hitch and
hitch ball assembly mounted for a long period,
it is possible to filter out the trailer hitch and
hitch ball assembly presence in sensor field of
view. The filtering operation must be performed
only by an authorized dealer.
FRONT AND REAR PARKSENSE — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides
visual and audible indications of the distance
between the rear and/or front fascia and a
detected obstacle when backing up or moving
forward (e.g. during a parking maneuver).
Refer to “ParkSense System Usage
Precautions” in this section for limitations of
this system and recommendations.
ParkSense will retain the last system state
(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle
when the ignition is changed to the ON/RUN
position.
ParkSense is active when the gear selector is
shifted to REVERSE or to a forward gear and an
obstacle is detected, as long as the system is
on. When the gear selector shifted to NEUTRAL
(or PARK in case of automatic gearbox), the
system becomes inactive. When the vehicle is
moving forward, the system will remain active
until the vehicle speed remains below
approximately 11 mph (18 km/h). Reducing the
speed approximately below 9 mph (15 km/h),
the system will come back active. When the
vehicle is moving in REVERSE, the system will
remain active as long as the speed remains
below the maximum operating speed of 7 mph
(11 km/h). When the maximum speed limit is
exceeded, the system is disabled and the
ParkSense switch LED with illuminate. The
system will become active again if the vehicle
speed reduces below approximately 6 mph
(9 km/h).
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 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!
(Continued)
The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using ParkSense in order to be able to stop
in time when an obstacle is detected. It is
recommended that the driver looks over
his/her shoulder when using ParkSense.
CAUTION!
