Rear Sensor Location
Engagement/Disengagement
To turn the front parking sensors off, push the
ParkSense button located to the left of the
headlight switch. The indicator light within the
switch will illuminate when the system is
turned off. Pushing the button a second time
will turn the front sensors back on, and the
indicator light will turn off.
NOTE:
Deactivation of both the front and rear parking
sensors can only be done through the radio
system.
The indicator light within the ParkSense
System switch will also be on in case of system
failure. If the switch 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 placed in the ON/RUN
position, the ParkSense System keeps the last
state when the engine was stopped (activated
or deactivated) in its memory.
System Activation/Deactivation
When the REVERSE gear is engaged and the
system is on, the front and rear sensors are
activated. If the vehicle moves from REVERSE
to a forward gear, the rear sensors are deacti-
vated, while the front sensors remain active
until the speed of 9 mph (15 km/h) is
exceeded.
NOTE:
In certain operating conditions, the system
could start detecting an obstacle only after the
vehicle has moved slightly (a few inches).
Acoustic Signal
In the presence of an obstacle at the front or
the rear of 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 the sensors detect several front and rear
obstacles, the closest obstacle is considered.
An intermittent signal will sound if the obsta-
cles are at the same distance (front and rear).
When the system emits an acoustic signal, the
volume of the radio system, if activated, is
automatically lowered.
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"
3. "ParkSense"
4. "Mode"
5. "Sound and Display"
Visual Indications
The system indicates the presence of an
obstacle by displaying a single red arc in the
detected areas, in relation to the distance of
the object and the position of the vehicle.
If the obstacle is detected in the front or rear
central area, a single red arc will be displayed
as the obstacle approaches, first constant,
then flashing, in addition to an acoustic signal.
