The ParkSense
௡ system uses four sensors located in the
rear bumper fascia to scan for obstacles up to 79 in
(200 cm) away from the rear bumper fascia. ParkSense
௡
provides both visual and audible warnings to indicate
the range of the object.
Service The ParkSense ா Rear Park Assist System
When the ParkSense
௡ Rear Park Assist system is mal-
functioning, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will actuate a single chime, once per ignition
cycle, and it will display the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST
SENSORS” or the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM”
message. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for
further information. When the shift lever is moved to
REVERSE and the system has detected a fault condition,
the EVIC will display the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SEN-
SORS” or the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” mes-
sage for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE. Under this
condition, ParkSense
௡ will not operate.
If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” appears in the
EVIC and the rear fascia/bumper is clean and clear of
snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction, see your
authorized dealer.
If “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” appears in the
EVIC, see your 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 dam-
age the sensors.
