these areas are clear, place the ignition in
the OFF position, then return it to ON/RUN.
If the message is still displayed, contact an
authorized dealer.
Audio System Not Available: If the display
shows a message that the audio system is
not available, it means that the acoustic
signal will be emitted by the instrument
panel, and not through the vehicles
speakers.
NOTE:
Some conditions may influence the perfor-
mance of the ParkSense System:
Reduced sensor sensitivity could be due to
the presence of ice, snow, mud, or thick
paint on the surface of the sensor.
The sensors may detect a false obstacle
(echo interference) due to mechanical inter-
ference, for example when washing the
vehicle or in extreme weather.
The signals sent by the sensors can be
altered by the presence of ultrasonic
systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems of
trucks or pneumatic drills) near the vehicle.
System performance can be influenced by
the position of the sensors. For example,
due to a change in the ride setting (caused
by wear to the shock absorbers or suspen-
184
sion), by changing tires, overloading the
vehicle or operations that require the
vehicle to be lowered.
Be sure not to place bumper stickers or
other adhesives over the sensors as this will
affect system performance.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the ParkSense system.
Always check carefully behind your vehicle,
and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or
blind spots before backing up. You are
responsible
for
the
safety
surroundings and must continue to pay
attention while backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
The ParkSense System is only a parking
aid and it is unable to recognize every
obstacle,
including
small
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
CAUTION! (Continued)
The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using the ParkSense System 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 the ParkSense system.
Vehicles With Front And Rear Sensors
The parking sensors, located in the front and
rear bumpers, detect the presence of any
obstacles and warn the driver through an
acoustic signal and visual indications, which
will be displayed on the instrument cluster
of
your
display.
