PARKSENSE REAR PARK
ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Rear Park Assist system
provides visual and audible indications of
the distance between the rear fascia and a
detected obstacle when backing up (e.g.
during a parking maneuver). Refer to "Park-
Sense 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 placed in the ON/
RUN position.
ParkSense can be active only when the gear
selector is in REVERSE. If ParkSense is
enabled at this gear selector position, the
system will remain active until the vehicle
speed is increased to approximately 7 mph
(11 km/h) or above. When in REVERSE and
above the system's operating speed, a
warning will appear within the instrument
cluster display indicating the vehicle speed
is too fast. The system will become active
again if the vehicle speed is decreased to
speeds less than approximately 6 mph
(9 km/h).

ParkSense Sensors
The four ParkSense sensors, located in the
rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind
the vehicle that is within the sensors' field of
view. The sensors can detect obstacles from
approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to
79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper
in
the
horizontal
depending on the location, type and orienta-
tion of the obstacle.
Enabling And Disabling ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with
the ParkSense switch, located on the switch
panel below the climate controls.
When the ParkSense switch is pushed to
disable the system, the instrument cluster
display will show the "PARKSENSE OFF"
message for approximately five seconds.
Refer to "Instrument Cluster Display" in
"Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel" in
your Owner's Manual for further information.
When the gear selector is moved to
REVERSE and the system is disabled, the
instrument cluster display will show the
"PARKSENSE OFF" message for as long as
the vehicle is in REVERSE (Not in 4L).
The ParkSense switch LED will be on when
ParkSense is disabled or requires service.
The ParkSense switch LED will be off when
the system is enabled. If the ParkSense
switch is pushed, and requires service, the
ParkSense switch LED will blink momen-
tarily, and then the LED will be on.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
direction,
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 instru-
ment cluster display will read "PARK-
SENSE OFF." Furthermore, once you turn
ParkSense OFF, it remains off until you
turn it on again, even if you cycle the igni-
tion.
ParkSense, when on, will reduce the
volume of the radio when it is sounding a
tone.
