Failure Indications
A malfunction of the Rear Park Assist sensors or system
is indicated, during REVERSE gear engagement, by the
instrument panel warning icon.
The warning icon is illuminated and a message
is displayed on the multifunction display (if
equipped). Refer to “Instrument Cluster De-
scriptions” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
The sensors and wiring are tested continuously when the
ignition is in the ON/RUN position. Failures are indi-

is in failure condition, the instrument cluster display
shall indicate that the Rear Park Assist system is unavail-

If even a single sensor fails, the entire system must be
disabled. The system is turned off automatically.

soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. In
washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the va-

sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.
