PARKSENSE SYSTEM
Vehicles With Rear Sensors Only
The parking sensors, located in the rear
bumper, detect obstacles while the vehicle is
in REVERSE. When an obstacle is detected, an
acoustic alert will sound and visual indications
will be displayed on the instrument cluster.
Rear Sensor Location
Engagement/Disengagement
To turn the system off, push the ParkSense
button located to the left of the headlight
switch. The indicator light within the button will
illuminate when the system is turned off.
Pushing the button a second time will turn the
system back on, and the indicator light will
turn off.
ParkSense On/Off Switch
The indicator light within the ParkSense
button will also be on in case of system failure.
If the button is pushed with a system failure,
the indicator light will flash for approximately
five seconds. The light will then stay on
constantly.
NOTE:
When the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position, the ParkSense System keeps the last
state when the engine was stopped (activated
or deactivated) in its memory.
System Activation/Deactivation
The system, when engaged, is automatically
activated by engaging the REVERSE gear. It is
deactivated by engaging another gear.
Acoustic Signal
When REVERSE is engaged and there is an
obstacle behind the vehicle, an acoustic signal
with variable frequency will sound.
The acoustic signal increases in frequency
as the distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle decreases.
The acoustic signal becomes continuous
when the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle is less than 11 inches (30 cm),
and stops if the distance increases.
The acoustic signal is constant if the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is unchanged.
NOTE:
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is considered.
An acoustic signal will not sound if the vehicle
is in PARK.
