During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense
System has detected a faulted condition, the
instrument cluster will actuate a single chime,
once per ignition cycle, and it will display the
"PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR
SENSORS", "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE
FRONT SENSORS" or "PARKSENSE
UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED" message.
When the gear selector is moved to REVERSE
and the system has detected a faulted
condition, the instrument cluster display will
display a "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE
REAR SENSORS" or "PARKSENSE
UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED" message
for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE. Under
this condition, ParkSense will not operate. Refer
to "Instrument Cluster Display" in "Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel" for further
information.
If "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR
SENSORS" or "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE
FRONT SENSORS" appears in the instrument
cluster display make sure the outer surface and
the underside of the rear fascia/bumper and/or
front fascia/bumper is clean and clear of snow,

LEANING
Clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car
wash soap, and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or
hard cloths. In washing stations, clean sensors
quickly keeping the vapor jet/high pressure
washing nozzles at least 4 inches (10 cm) from
the sensors. Do not scratch or poke the
sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the
sensors.

RECAUTIONS
NOTE:
Ensure that the front and rear bumpers are

free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep

Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibra-


When you turn the ParkSense system off, the

instrument cluster display will show a vehicle
graphic of the ParkSense on/off state for two
seconds. Furthermore, once you turn Park-
Sense off, it remains off until you turn it on
again, even if you cycle the ignition.
When you move the gear selector to the

REVERSE position and ParkSense is turned
off, the instrument cluster display will show
the "ParkSense OFF" message. This
message will be displayed 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 prop-
erly. The ParkSense system might not detect
an obstacle behind or in front of the fascia/
bumper, or it could provide a false indication
that an obstacle is behind or in front of the
fascia/bumper.
