LEANING HE ARK ENSE
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 fascias/bumpers are
free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the Park-
Sense system operating properly.
 Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of ParkSense.
 When you turn ParkSense System off, the instrument
cluster display will show the "ParkSense Off" message

YSTEM
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 posi-
tion 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.

STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
The "ParkSense Off" message will not display while the
vehicle is in 4WD Low position.
 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 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.
 Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense
system off if obstacles such as bicycle carriers, trailer
hitches, etc. are placed within 30 cm from the rear
fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can result in the
system misinterpreting a close obstacle as a sensor
problem, causing the "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE
WIPE REAR SENSORS" message to appear in the
instrument cluster display.
 ParkSense should be disabled when the swing gate is
in the open position. An open swing gate could provide
a false indication that an obstacle is behind the
vehicle.
