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. Otherwise, you could damage the
sensors.

ParkSense System Usage Precautions

NOTE:
• Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow, ice, mud,

false indication that an obstacle is behind the fascia/
bumper.

object as a sensor problem, causing the "PARKSENSE
