and then the LED will be on.
Service The ParkSense Rear Park
Assist System
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense
Rear Park Assist 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" or the "PARKSENSE UN-
AVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED" message.
Refer to "Instrument Cluster Display". When the
gear selector is moved to REVERSE and the
system has detected a faulted condition, the
instrument cluster display will display the
"PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR
SENSORS" or "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE
SERVICE REQUIRED" message for as long as
the vehicle is in REVERSE. Under this condi-
tion, ParkSense will not operate.
If "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR
SENSORS" appears in the instrument cluster
display make sure the outer surface and the
underside of the rear fascia/bumper is clean and
clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction
and then cycle the ignition. If the message
continues to appear, see an authorized dealer.
If "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE RE-
QUIRED" appears in the instrument cluster dis-
play, see an authorized dealer.

Cleaning The ParkSense System

Clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car
wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or
hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sensors.
