316 STARTING AND OPERATING
(Continued)
Cleaning The ParkSense System
Clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car wash soap and
a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. 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 ParkSense system operating prop-
erly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of ParkSense.
• When you move the gear selector into REVERSE with
ParkSense turned off, the instrument cluster display will
show "Off" on the vehicle graphic arcs 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 Park-
Sense 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.
• Ensure the ParkSense system is OFF if objects such as
bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc., are placed within
18 inches (45 cm) of the rear fascia/bumper while driving
the vehicle. Failure to do so can result in the system misin-
terpreting a close obstacle as a sensor problem, causing the
"Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service Required" message
to appear in the instrument cluster display.
WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using ParkSense. 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 responsible for
safety and must continue to pay attention to your
surroundings. Failure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.
