Operation With A Trailer
The system is automatically deactivated when the trailer’s
electric plug is inserted in the vehicle’s tow hook socket.
The rear sensors are automatically reactivated when the
trailer’s cable plug is removed.
ParkSense Usage Precautions
Some conditions may influence the performance of the Side
Distance Warning System:
NOTE:
• Ensure that the front and rear bumper are free of snow,
ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the ParkSense system
operating properly.
• Construction equipment, large trucks, and other vibra-
tions could affect the performance of ParkSense.
• When you turn ParkSense off, the message to appear in
the instrument cluster display will read “PARKSENSE
OFF.” Furthermore, once you turn ParkSense off, it
remains off until you turn it on again, even if you cycle
the ignition key.
• 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 ParkSense system might not detect an
obstacle behind or in front of the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind or in front of the fascia/bumper.
• The presence of a tow hook without a trailer may
interfere with the correct operation of the parking sen-
sors. Before using the ParkSense system, it is recom-
mended to remove the removable tow hook ball assem-
bly and any attachments from the vehicle when it is not
used for towing operations. If you wish to leave the tow
hook fitted without towing a trailer, it is advisable to
contact your authorized dealer for the ParkSense system
update operations because the tow hook could be de-
tected as an obstacle by the central sensors.
