• 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 ParkSense

௡ 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.

• Objects must not be within 12 in (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 the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message to be displayed in
the instrument cluster.

CAUTION!

ParkSenseis only a parking aid and it is unable

to recognize every obstacle, including small ob-
stacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily de-
tected or not detected at all. Obstacles located
above or below the ParkSense

sensors will not be

detected when they are in close proximity.

The vehicle must be driven slowly when using

ParkSense

to be able to stop in time when the

obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when using
ParkSense

.
