Clean the Rear Park Assist sensors regularly, taking

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 in (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 problem, causing a failure indication to be
displayed in the instrument cluster.

unable to recognize every obstacle, including small
