Cleaning The Front Sensors: If the
display shows a message requiring the
sensors to be cleaned, make sure that the
outer surface and the underside of the
rear bumper is free of debris (e.g. snow,
mud, ice, etc.). Once these areas are clear,
cycle the ignition to the STOP position.
Then, return it to ON position. If the
message is still displayed, contact an
authorized dealer.
Audio System Not Available: If the
display shows a message that the audio
system is not available, it means that the
acoustic signal will be emitted by the
instrument panel, and not through the
vehicles speakers.
Note: Some conditions may influence
the performance of the Park Sensors
System:
Reduced sensor sensitivity could be
due to the presence of ice, snow, mud, or
thick paint on the surface of the sensor.
The sensors may detect a false
obstacle (echo interference) due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle or in extreme
weather.
The signals sent by the sensors can
be altered by the presence of ultrasonic
systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems
of trucks or pneumatic drills) near the
vehicle.
System performance can be influenced
by the position of the sensors. For
example, due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock absorbers or
suspension), by changing tires, overloading
the vehicle or operations that require the
vehicle to be lowered.
Be sure not to place bumper stickers
or other adhesives over the sensors as
this will affect system performance.
Warning!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the Parking Sensor 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 Parking Sensor 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 Parking Sensor 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
Parking Sensor system.
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 will be displayed on the
instrument cluster.
