PARK ASSIST", OR "SERVICE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM" messages for as long as the vehicle is
in REVERSE. Under this condition, ParkSense
will not operate.
If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST” appears in the
in
strument cluster display, make sure the outer
surface and the underside of the rear fascia/
bumper are clean and clear of snow, ice, mud,
dirt or other obstruction. Then, cycle the
ignition. If the message continues to appear,
see an authorized dealer.
If “SERVICE PARK ASSIST” or “SERVICE PARK
AS
SIST SYSTEM” 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 ParkSense
system operating properly.
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations
could affect the performance of ParkSense.
When you turn ParkSense off, the instrument
cluster display will read “PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM OFF.” Furthermore, once you turn
ParkSense off, it remains off until you turn it
on again, even if you cycle the ignition key.
When you move the gear selector to the
REVERSE position and ParkSense is turned
off, the instrument cluster display will show
the “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” message for
as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
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
a
n
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 within 12 inches (30 cm) from the
re
ar fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close
object as a sensor problem, causing the
“SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message
to appear in the instrument cluster display.
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.
