SERVICE THE PARKSENSE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense System
has detected a fault condition, the instrument cluster
will actuate a single chime, once per ignition cycle, and
it will display the "ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Rear
Sensors", "ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Front Sensors",
or the "ParkSense Unavailable Service Required" mes-
sage for five seconds.
When the gear selector is moved to REVERSE and the
system has detected a fault condition, the instrument
cluster display will display a "ParkSense Unavailable
Wipe Rear Sensors", "ParkSense Unavailable Wipe
Front Sensors" or "ParkSense Unavailable Service
Required" pop-up message for five seconds. After five
seconds, a vehicle graphic will be displayed with
"Unavailable" at either the front or rear sensor location
depending on where the fault is detected. The system
will continue to provide arc alerts for the side that is
functioning properly. These arc alerts will interrupt the
"ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Rear Sensors",
"ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Front Sensors", or
"ParkSense Unavailable Service Required" messages if
an object is detected within the five second pop-up
duration. The vehicle graphic will remain displayed for
as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
If "ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Rear Sensors" or
"ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Front Sensors" appears in
the instrument cluster display make sure the outer sur-
face and the underside of the rear fascia/bumper
and/or front fascia/bumper is clean and clear of snow,
ice, mud, dirt or other obstructions and then cycle the
ignition. If the message continues to appear see an
authorized dealer.
If the "ParkSense Unavailable Service Required" mes-
sage appears in the instrument cluster display, see an
authorized dealer.
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.
PARKSENSE SYSTEM USAGE
PRECAUTIONS
•
Ensure that the front and rear fascias/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 turn ParkSense off, the instrument clus-
ter will display “PARKSENSE OFF.” 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 will display “PARKSENSE OFF” 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 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.
•
Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense
system off if objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer
hitches, etc. are placed within 12 inches (30 cm) of
the rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can result
in the system misinterpreting a close object as a
sensor problem, causing the “PARKSENSE UNAVAIL-
ABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” message to be displayed
in the instrument cluster.
•
ParkSense should be disabled when the liftgate is in
the open position. An opened liftgate could provide
a false indication that an obstacle is behind the
vehicle.
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.
•
Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recom-
mended that the ball mount and hitch ball assem-
bly be disconnected from the vehicle when the
vehicle is not used for towing. Failure to do so can
result in injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles
because the hitch ball will be much closer to the
obstacle than the rear fascia/bumper when the
vehicle sounds the continuous tone. Also, the sen-
sors could detect the ball mount and hitch ball
