STARTING AND OPERATING 133
(Continued)
The vehicle is close to the obstacle when the
instrument cluster display shows a single
constant arc and emits a continuous sound.
If there are several obstacles, the closest one is
indicated.
Failure Indications
A malfunction of the Rear Park Assist sensors or
system is indicated, during REVERSE gear
engagement, by the instrument panel warning
icon and message appearing on the instrument
cluster display.
The warning icon is illuminated and a
message appears on the instrument
cluster display. Refer to "Instrument
Cluster Display" in “Getting To Know
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
The sensors and wiring are tested continuously
when the ignition is in the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN)
position. Failures are indicated immediately if
they occur when the system is on.
Even if the system is able to identify that a
specific sensor is in failure condition, the instru-
ment cluster display shall indicate that the Rear
Park Assist system is unavailable, without refer-
ence to the sensor in failure condition. If even a
single sensor fails, the entire system must be
disabled. The system is turned off automati-
cally.
Cleaning The Rear Park Assist System
Clean the Rear Park Assist sensors with water,
car wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use
rough or hard cloths. In washing stations, clean
sensors quickly keeping the vapor jet/high pres-
sure washing nozzles at least 4 inches (10 cm)
from the sensors. Do not scratch or poke the
sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the
sensors.
Park Assist System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
Ensure that the outer surface and the under-
side of the rear bumper is clean and clear of
snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction to
keep the Rear Park Assist system operating
properly.
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibra-
tions could affect the performance of Rear
Park Assist.
Clean the Rear Park Assist 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
Rear Park Assist 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.
Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not
be placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the
rear fascia/bumper while driving the vehicle.
Failure to do so can result in the system misin-
terpreting a close object as a sensor problem,
causing a failure indication to be displayed in
the instrument cluster.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using Rear Park Assist. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, look
behind you, and be sure to check for pedes-
trians, 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.
