Cleaning The Parksense® System; Parksense® System Usage Precautions - Lancia Voyager 2013 Owner's Handbook Manual

EVIC will display the "CLEAN PARK
ASSIST SENSORS" or the "SER-
VICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM" mes-
sage for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE. Under this condition,
ParkSense® will not operate.
If "CLEAN PARK ASSIST SEN-
SORS" appears in the EVIC after
making sure the rear fascia/bumper is
free from snow, ice, mud, dirt or other
obstruction, see your authorized
dealer.
If "SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYS-
TEM" appears in the EVIC, see your
authorized dealer.
CLEANING THE
PARKSENSE® SYSTEM

erwise, you could damage the sensors.

PARKSENSE® SYSTEM
USAGE PRECAUTIONS
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 instrument cluster will dis-
play "PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
OFF." Furthermore, once you
turn ParkSense® off, it remains
off until you turn it on again,
even if you cycle the ignition key.
• When you move the shift lever to
the REVERSE position and
ParkSense® is turned off, the
EVIC will display "PARK AS-
SIST SYSTEM OFF" message for
as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE.
• ParkSense®, when on, will re-
duce the radio volume 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® sys-
tem might not detect an obstacle
behind the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication
that an obstacle is behind the
fascia/bumper.
• Objects such as bicycle carriers,
trailer hitches, etc., must not be
placed within 30 cm from the
rear fascia/bumper while driv-
ing the vehicle. Failure to do so
can result in the system misin-
terpreting a close object as a
sensor problem, causing the
"SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYS-
TEM" message to be displayed
in the EVIC.
