wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or
hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sensors.

ParkSense® System Usage
Precautions
NOTE:
• Ensure that the front and rear bumper are
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 will display "PARKSENSE
OFF." Furthermore,
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 instrument cluster will dis-
play "PARKSENSE OFF" for as long as
the vehicle is in REVERSE.
• ParkSense®, when on, will reduce the
volume of the radio 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®
system might not detect an obstacle be-
hind or in front of the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind or in front of the
fascia/bumper.
once you turn
• Use the ParkSense® switch to turn the
ParkSense® system off if obstacles such
as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc. are
placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the rear
fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can result
in the system misinterpreting a close ob-
stacle as a sensor problem, causing the
"PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED" message to be displayed in
the instrument cluster.
• On vehicles equipped with a tailgate,
ParkSense® should be disabled when the
tailgate is in the lowered or open position.
A lowered tailgate could provide a false
indication that an obstacle is behind the
vehicle.
• There may be a delay in the object detec-
tion rate if the object is moving. This will
cause the automatic braking application
to be delayed.
CAUTION!
• ParkSense® is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, includ-
ing small obstacles. Parking curbs might
be temporarily detected or not detected at
all. Obstacles located above or below the
sensors will not be detected when they are
in close proximity.
