STARTING AND OPERATING 395
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 front and rear bumpers are free of snow,
ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the ParkSense system
operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of ParkSense.
• When you move the gear selector to the REVERSE position
and Front or Rear ParkSense is turned off, the instrument
cluster display will show "Off" on the vehicle graphic arcs.
This vehicle graphic will be displayed 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 or in
front of the fascia/bumper, or it could provide a false indi-
cation that an obstacle is behind or in front of the fascia/
bumper.
• Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense system off
if obstacles such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc. are
placed within 18 inches (45 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper. Failure to do so can result in the system misinter-
preting a close obstacle as a sensor problem, causing the
“Front/Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service Required”
message to be appear in the instrument cluster display.
• On vehicles equipped with a tailgate, ParkSense should be
disabled when the tailgate is in the lowered or open posi-
tion. A lowered tailgate could provide a false indication
that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
