ParkSense switch.
Rear ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with the Rear
ParkSense switch.When the gear selector is moved to REVERSE and
the Front or Rear system is disabled, the instrument
cluster display will show the “Off” message. This
vehicle graphic will be displayed for as long as the vehicle is
in REVERSE.
The Front or Rear ParkSense switch LED will be on when
Front or Rear ParkSense is disabled or requires service. The
Front or Rear ParkSense switch LED will be off when the
Front or Rear system is enabled. If the Front or Rear Park -
Sense switch is pushed, and the system requires service, the
Front or Rear ParkSense switch LED will blink momentarily,
and then the LED will be on.
Service The ParkSense Front/Rear Park Assist
System
During vehicle start up, when the Front/Rear ParkSense
System has detected a faulted condition, the instrument
cluster display will show the "Front/Rear ParkSense
Unavailable Service Required" or the "Front/Rear ParkSense
Unavailable Wipe Sensors" message.

When the gear selector is moved into REVERSE, a vehicle graphic
will show in the instrument cluster display, along with the display
overlay “Front/Rear ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Sensors.” If the
system needs service, the display overlay will read “Front/Rear
ParkSense Unavailable Service Required.” Under this condition,
ParkSense will not operate.

If "Front/Rear ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Sensors"
appears in the instrument cluster display make sure the
outer surface and the underside of the rear fascia/bumper is
clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction,
and then cycle the ignition. If the message continues to
appear, see an authorized dealer.
If "Front/Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service Required"

dealer.

STARTING AND OPERATING 395
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 damage the
sensors.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
• Ensure that the front and rear bumpers are free of snow,ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the ParkSense system
operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of ParkSense.
• When you move the gear selector to the REVERSE position and Front or Rear ParkSense is turned off, the instrument
cluster display will show "Off" on the vehicle graphic arcs.
This vehicle graphic will be displayed 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 Park -
Sense system might not detect an obstacle behind or in
front of the fascia/bumper, or it could provide a false indi -
cation that an obstacle is behind or in front of the fascia/
bumper.
• Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense system off if obstacles such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc. are
placed within 18 inches (45 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper. Failure to do so can result in the system misinter -
preting a close obstacle as a sensor problem, causing the
“Front/Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service Required”
message to be appear in the instrument cluster display.
• On vehicles equipped with a tailgate, ParkSense should be disabled when the tailgate is in the lowered or open posi -
tion. A lowered tailgate could provide a false indication
that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
