• Clean the Rear Park Assist 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 Rear ParkAssist 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.
• Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not
be placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the
rear fascia/bumper while driving the vehicle.
Failure to do so can result in the system
misinterpreting a close object as a sensor prob-
lem, causing a failure indication to be displayed in
the instrument cluster.
WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using Park Assist. 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 re-
WARNING!
sponsible for safety and must continue to
pay attention to your surroundings. Failure
to do so can result in serious injury or death.
• Before using Park Assist, it is strongly recom-
mended 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 because the
hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle
than the rear fascia when the loudspeaker
sounds the continuous tone. Also, the sen-
sors could detect the ball mount and hitch
ball assembly, depending on its size and
shape, giving a false indication that an ob-
stacle is behind the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Park Assist is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, including
small obstacles. Parking curbs might be tem-
porarily detected or not detected at all.
CAUTION!
Obstacles located above or below the sen-
sors will not be detected when they are in
close proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using Park Assist 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 Park Assist.
If it’s necessary to keep the trailer hitch and hitch
ball assembly mounted for a long period, it is
possible to filter out the trailer hitch and hitch ball
assembly presence in sensor field of view. The
filtering operation must be performed only by an
authorized dealer.
