adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire
failure and loss of vehicle control.

may result in false speedometer and odometer read-
ings.

Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-to-body
clearance. Follow these recommendations to guard
against damage.
•Traction device must be of proper size for the tire, as
recommended by the traction device manufacturer.
•Install on front tires only
•Due to limited clearance, the following traction de-
vices are recommended:

km/h). It will provide an alert (audible and/or visual) to
indicate the proximity to other objects. The system can be
enabled with Sound Only, or Sound and Display. To
change the ParkSense® status, press and release the
