SERVICE THE PARKSENSE REAR PARK
A
SSIST SYSTEM
During vehicle start up, when the Rear
ParkSense System has detected a faulted
condition, the instrument cluster display will
show the "Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service
Required" or the "Rear ParkSense Unavailable
Wipe Sensors" message.
When the gear selector is moved into REVERSE,
a vehicle graphic will show in the instrument
cluster display, along with the display overlay
“Rear ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Sensors.” If
the system needs service, the display overlay
will read “Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service
Required” Under this condition, ParkSense will
not operate.
If "Rear ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Sensors"
appears in the instrument cluster display make
sure the outer surface and the underside of the
rear fascia/bumper is clean and clear of snow,
ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction, and then
cycle the ignition. If the message continues to
appear, see an authorized dealer.
If "Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service
Required" 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.
Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.
PARKSENSE SYSTEM USAGE
P
RECAUTIONS
NOTE:
Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow,
ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the Park-
Sense system operating properly.
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibra-
tions could affect the performance of Park-
Sense.
When you move the gear selector into
REVERSE with ParkSense turned off, the
instrument cluster display will show "Off" on
the vehicle graphic arcs 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 prop-
erly. The ParkSense 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.
Ensure the ParkSense system is off if objects
such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc.,
are placed on the fascia/bumper while
driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can result
in the system misinterpreting a close
obstacle as a sensor problem, causing the
“Wipe Sensors” message or providing false
alerts.
