REVERSE and the system has detected a faulted condi-
tion, the EVIC will display the PARK ASSIST UNAVAIL-
ABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS or PARKSENSE UN-
AVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED message for as long
as the vehicle is in REVERSE. Under this condition, Rear

If "PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SEN-
SORS" appears in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) make sure the outer surface and the
underside of the rear fascia/bumper is clean and clear of
snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstructions and then cycle
the ignition. If the message continues to appear, see an
authorized dealer.
If "PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE SERVICE RE-
QUIRED" appears in the EVIC, see an authorized dealer.

ParkSense System Usage Precautions

NOTE:
• Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of the
rear bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt
or other obstruction to keep the Rear ParkSense system
operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of Rear ParkSense.
• Clean the Rear 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 Rear ParkSense system might
not detect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the fascia/bumper.
