ParkSense System Usage Precautions

• 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 vi-
brations could affect the performance of
ParkSense.
• When you turn ParkSense off, the instru-
ment cluster
"PARKSENSE OFF". Furthermore, once
you turn ParkSense 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 a "PARKSENSE OFF" message
for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
• ParkSense, when on, will reduce the vol-
ume of the radio when it is sounding a
tone.
Manual on
• 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 the fascia/
bumper, or it could provide a false indica-
tion that an obstacle is behind the fascia/
bumper.
