STARTING AND OPERATING 181
Service The ParkSense Rear Park Assist
System
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense
Rear Park Assist System has detected a faulted
condition, the instrument cluster will actuate a
single chime, once per ignition cycle and it will
display the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE
REAR SENSORS” or “PARKSENSE UNAVAIL-
ABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” message for five
seconds. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display”
in “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
When the gear selector is moved to REVERSE
and the system has detected a faulted condi-
tion, the instrument cluster display will display
the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR
SENSORS” or “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE
SERVICE REQUIRED” message for as long as
the vehicle is in REVERSE. Under this condition,
ParkSense will not operate.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR
SENSORS” appears in the instrument cluster
display, make sure the outer surface and the
inside of the rear fascia/bumper is clean and
clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruc-
tion, and then cycle the ignition. If the message
continues to appear see an authorized dealer.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED” appears in the instrument cluster
display, see an authorized dealer.
Cleaning The ParkSense System
Clean the Rear Park Assist sensors with water,
car wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use
rough or hard cloths. In washing stations, clean
sensors quickly keeping the vapor jet/high pres-
sure washing nozzles at least 4 inches (10 cm)
from the sensors. Do not scratch or poke the
sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the
sensors.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow,
ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the Park-
Sense system operating properly.
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibra-
tions could affect the performance of Park-
Sense or render the system temporarily
unavailable.
When you turn ParkSense off in DRIVE, the
instrument cluster will display "PARKSENSE
OFF" for five seconds. Furthermore, 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
REVERSE position and ParkSense is turned
off, the instrument cluster display will show
the “PARKSENSE OFF” message for as long
as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
ParkSense will reduce the volume of the
radio when it is sounding an audio 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 prop-
erly. The ParkSense 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.
