• Clean the Rear 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. Fail-
ure to do so can result in the system not working properly. The Rear ParkSense sys-
tem might not detect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it could provide a false
indication that an obstacle is behind the fascia/bumper.
• Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not be placed within 12 inches (30 cm)
from the rear fascia/bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can result in the
system misinterpreting a close object as a sensor problem, causing a failure indication
to be displayed in the instrument cluster.
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 pe-
destrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before backing up.
You are responsible for safety and must continue to pay attention to your sur-
roundings. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
• Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recommended that the ball mount and hitch
ball assembly is disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is not used for
towing. Failure to do so can result in injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles
because the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia
when the loudspeaker sounds the continuous tone. Also, the sensors could detect
the ball mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size and shape, giving a
false indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize every obstacle, includ-
ing 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 ParkSense 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 ParkSense.
If it’s necessary to keep the trailer hitch and hitch ball assembly mounted for a long pe-
riod, it is possible to filter out the trailer hitch and hitch ball assembly presence in sensor
field of view. The filtering operation must be performed only by an authorized dealer.
