The sensors and wiring are tested continuously when the

ignition is in the ON/RUN position. Failures are indi-

cated immediately if they occur when the system is ON.
Even if the system is able to identify that a specific sensor

is in failure condition, the instrument cluster display

shall indicate that the ParkSense® Rear Park Assist

system is unavailable, without reference to the sensor in

failure condition. If even a single sensor fails, the entire

system must be disabled. The system is turned off

automatically.
Cleaning The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System
Clean the ParkSense® Rear Park Assist sensors with

water, car wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough

or hard cloths. In washing stations, clean sensors quickly

keeping the vapor jet/high pressure washing nozzles at

least 4 in (10 cm) from the sensors. Do not scratch or poke

the sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.

ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System Usage
Precautions

NOTE:

• Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of the

rear bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt

or other obstruction to keep the Rear Park Assist

system operating properly.

• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could

affect the performance of Rear Park Assist.

• Clean the Rear Park Assist 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 Rear Park Assist 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.
