NOTE:
When KeySense feature is present, the ParkSense
System will reject customer input to turn the system
off via the hard switch. The instrument cluster dis-
play will show "KeySense in Use Selected Feature
Cannot be Disabled" message.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
• Ensure that the rear bumper is 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 turn ParkSense off, the instrument clus-
ter will display "PARKSENSE OFF". Furthermore,
once you turn ParkSense off, it remains off until
you turn it on again, even if you cycle the ignition.
• When you move the gear selector to the RE-
VERSE position and ParkSense is turned off, the
instrument cluster display will show "PARKSENSE
OFF" message 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 the fascia/bumper,
or it could provide a false indication that an ob-
stacle is behind the fascia/bumper.
• ParkSense should be disabled when the liftgate is
in the open position.
• Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense
system OFF if objects, such as bicycle carriers, are
placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the rear
fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can result in the
system misinterpreting a close object as a sensor
problem, causing the "PARKSENSE UNAVAIL-
ABLE SERVICE REQUIRED" message to be dis-
played in the instrument cluster display.
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 sur-
roundings. Failure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.
• Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recom-
mended 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 con-
tinuous tone. Also, the sensors could detect
the ball mount and hitch ball assembly, de-
pending on its size and shape, giving a false
indication that an obstacle is behind the ve-
hicle.
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 lo-
