Vehicles With Front And Rear Sensors
The parking sensors, located in the front and
rear bumpers, detect the presence of any
obstacles and warn the driver through an
acoustic signal and visual indications, which
will be displayed on the instrument cluster
display.
Front Sensor Location
Rear Sensor Location
Engagement/Disengagement
To turn the front parking sensors off, push the
ParkSense button located to the left of the
headlight switch. The indicator light within the
switch will illuminate when the system is
turned off. Pushing the button a second time
will turn the front sensors back on, and the
indicator light will turn off.
NOTE:
Deactivation of both the front and rear parking
sensors can only be done through the radio
system.
The indicator light within the ParkSense
System switch will also be on in case of system
failure. If the switch is pushed with a system
failure, the indicator light will flash for approx-
imately 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
When the REVERSE gear is engaged and the
system is on, the front and rear sensors are acti-
vated. If the vehicle moves from REVERSE to a
forward gear, the rear sensors are deactivated,
while the front sensors remain active until the
speed of 9 mph (15 km/h) is exceeded.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the ParkSense system.
Always check carefully behind your vehicle,
and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or
blind spots before backing up. You are
responsible for the safety of your
surroundings and must continue to pay
attention while backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
The ParkSense System is only a parking aid
and it is unable to recognize every obstacle,
including small obstacles. Parking curbs
might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above or
below the sensors will not be detected when
they are in close proximity
The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using the ParkSense System in order to be
able to stop in time when an obstacle is
detected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using the ParkSense system.
