• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibra-
tions could affect the performance of
ParkSense.
• When you turn ParkSense off, the instrument
cluster display will read “PARK ASSIST SYS-
TEM 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 gear selector to the RE-
VERSE position and ParkSense is turned off,
the instrument cluster display will show the
“PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” message for as
long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
• 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 ob-
stacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it could
provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the fascia/bumper.
• Ensure the ParkSense system is OFF if ob-
jects such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches,
etc., are placed within 12 inches (30 cm)
from the rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so
can result in the system misinterpreting a
close object as a sensor problem, causing the
“SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message
to appear in the instrument cluster display.
WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using ParkSense. Always check
carefully behind your vehicle, look behind
you, and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and
blind spots before backing up. You are
responsible for safety and must continue
to pay attention to your surroundings. Fail-
ure to do so can result in serious injury or
death.
• Before using ParkSense, it is strongly rec-
ommended that the ball mount and hitch
ball assembly is disconnected from the
vehicle when the vehicle is not used for
towing. Failure to do so can result in injury
or damage to vehicles or obstacles be-
cause the hitch ball will be much closer to
the obstacle than the rear fascia when the
loudspeaker sounds the continuous tone.
Also, the sensors could detect the ball

mount and hitch ball assembly, depending
on its size and shape, giving a false indi-
cation that an obstacle is behind the ve-
hicle.
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.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using ParkSense in order to be able to stop
in time when an obstacle is detected. It is
recommended that the driver looks over
his/her shoulder when using ParkSense.
