ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
• Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow ,
ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the
ParkSense system operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibra-
tions could affect the performance of
ParkSense.
• When you turn ParkSense off, the instrument
cluster will display “P ARKSENSE OFF.” Fur -
thermore, once you turn ParkSense off, it
remains off until you turn it on again, even if
you cycle the ignition.
• When you move the gear selector to the RE-
VERSE position and ParkSense is turned off,
the instrument cluster display will display
“PARKSENSE OFF” message 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 ob-
stacle 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 bi-
cycle 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 “PARKSENSE
UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” mes-
sage to be displayed in the instrument cluster
display.

you, and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and
blind spots before backing up. Y ou are re-
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 ParkSense, it is strongly rec-
ommended that the ball mount and hitch
ball assembly is disconnected from the ve-
hicle when the vehicle is not used for tow-
ing. 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!
• ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, includ-
ing small obstacles. Parking curbs might
