• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could

affect the performance of ParkSense®.

• When you turn ParkSense® OFF, the instrument clus-

ter will display “PARKSENSE OFF” Furthermore, once

you turn ParkSense® off, it remains off until you turn

it on again, even if you cycle the ignition.

• When you move the shift lever to the REVERSE

position and ParkSense® is turned OFF, the EVIC/

DID will display “PARKSENSE OFF” message 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

properly. 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.

• Use the ParkSense® switch to turn the ParkSense®

system OFF if objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer

hitches, etc. are placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the

rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can result in the

system misinterpreting a close object as a sensor

problem, causing the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE

SERVICE REQUIRED” message to be displayed in the

EVIC/DID.

• ParkSense® should be disabled when the liftgate is in

the open position and the vehicle is in REVERSE. An

open liftgate could provide a false indication that an

obstacle is behind the vehicle.
