The brightness of the instrument panel lighting
can be regulated by rotating the dimmer con-
trol up (brighter) or down (dimmer). When the
headlights are on you can supplement the
brightness of the odometer, trip odometer, radio
and overhead console by rotating the control to
its farthest position up until you hear a click.
This feature is termed the “Parade” mode and
is useful when headlights are required during
the day.Lights-on ReminderIf the headlights, parking lights, or cargo lights
are left on after the ignition is turned OFF, a
chime will sound when the driver’s door is
opened.
Battery SaverTo protect the life of your vehicle’s battery, load
shedding is provided for both the interior and
exterior lights.
If the ignition is OFF and any door is left ajar for
10 minutes or the dimmer control is rotated all
the way up to the dome ON position for 10 min-
utes, the interior lights will automatically turn off.
If the headlights remain on while the ignition is
cycled OFF, the exterior lights will automatically
turn off after eight minutes. If the headlights are
turned on and left on for eight minutes while the
ignition is OFF, the exterior lights will automati-
cally turn off.
NOTE:
Battery saver mode is cancelled if the igni-
tion is ON.

between the rear and/or front fascia and a
detected obstacle when backing up or moving forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver. Refer
to ParkSense
System Usage Precautions for
limitations of this system and recommenda-
tions.
ParkSense will retain the last system state
(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition
cycle when the ignition is changed to the
ON/RUN position. ParkSense can be active
only when the shift lever is in REVERSE or
DRIVE.
If ParkSense is enabled at one of these shift
lever positions, the system will remain active
until the vehicle speed is increased to approxi-
mately 11 mph (18 km/h) or above. The system
will become active again if the vehicle speed is
decreased to speeds less than approximately
10 mph (16 km/h).

the object.
Service the ParkSensePark Assist
System
When the ParkSense Park Assist System is
malfunctioning, the instrument cluster will actu-
ate a single chime, once per ignition cycle. The
instrument cluster will display the “REAR SEN-
SOR BLINDED” message when any of the rear
sensor(s) is blocked by snow, mud, or ice and
the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE or DRIVE.
The instrument cluster will display the “CLEAN
PARK ASSIST SENSORS” message when any
of the front sensor(s) is blocked by snow, mud,
or ice and the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE
or DRIVE. The instrument cluster will display the
“SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message
when any of the rear or front sensors are
damaged and require service. When the shift
lever is moved to REVERSE or DRIVE and the system has detected a faulted condition, the
EVIC will display the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST
SENSORS” or the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM” message for as long as the vehicle is
in REVERSE or DRIVE (at speeds less than
11 mph/18 km/h). Under this condition Park-
Sense
will not operate. Refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation.
If the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” mes-
sage appears in the Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) and the rear fascia/bumper
or front fascia/bumper is clean and clear of
snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction, see
your authorized dealer. If “SERVICE PARK AS-
SIST SYSTEM” appears in the EVIC, see your
authorized dealer.
Cleaning the ParkSense SystemClean 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 sen-
sors. Otherwise, you could damage the sen-
sors.
