PARKSENSE SENSORS
The four ParkSense sensors (six if equipped with
Active Parksense), located in the front fascia/
bumper, monitor the area in front of the vehicle
that is within the sensors’ field of view, and the four
ParkSense sensors, located in the rear fascia/
bumper, monitor the area behind the vehicle that
is within the sensors’ field of view. The front
sensors can detect obstacles from approximately
12
inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches (120 cm) from
the
front fascia/bumper. The rear sensors can
detect obstacles from approximately 12
inches
(30

PARKSENSE DISPLAY
The warning display will turn on indicating the
system status when the vehicle is in REVERSE or
when the vehicle is in DRIVE and an obstacle has
been detected.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by
showi
ng a single arc in the left, right, or center
regions based on the obstacle’s distance and
location relative to the vehicle.
If an obstacle is detected in the left, right, or center
regi

and/or right regions and the system will produce a
tone. As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle,
the display will show the single arc moving closer to
the vehicle and the tone will change from a single
1/2 second tone to slow, to fast, to continuous.
