STARTING AND OPERATING 303
(Continued)
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
• Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow, ice, mud, dirt
and debris to keep the ParkSense system operating prop-
erly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of ParkSense.
• When you turn ParkSense off, the instrument cluster
display will read “PARKSENSE OFF.” Furthermore, once
you turn ParkSense off, it remains off until you turn it on
again, even if you cycle the ignition.
• 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 Park-
Sense system might not detect an obstacle behind the
fascia/bumper, or it could provide a false indication that
an obstacle is behind the fascia/bumper.
• Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense system off
if objects such as bicycle carriers, etc. are attached to the
rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can result in the
system misinterpreting a close object as a sensor problem,
causing the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED” message to be displayed in the instrument
cluster display.
NOTE:
If any objects are attached to the bumper within a 6.5 ft (2 m)
field of view, they will interfere and cause false alerts and
possibly blockage.
• The operation of the rear sensors is automatically deacti-
vated when the trailer's electric plug is inserted in the
vehicle's tow hook socket. The rear sensors are automati-
cally reactivated when the trailer's cable plug is removed.
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. Failure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.
