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.
ParkSense ா System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
• Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow, ice, mud,
dirt and debris to keep the ParkSense ௡ system operat-
ing properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of ParkSense
௡.
• When you turn ParkSense௡ off, the instrument cluster
will display “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF.” Further-
more, once you turn ParkSense
௡ off, it remains off
until you turn it on again, even if you cycle the ignition
key.
• When you move the shift lever to the REVERSE
position and ParkSense ௡ is turned off, the instrument
cluster will display “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM 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.
