UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS  or the
 PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED 
message. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID)” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
When the gear selector is moved to REVERSE and the
system has detected a faulted condition, the EVIC/DID will display the  PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE
REAR SENSORS  or the  PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE
SERVICE REQUIRED  message for as long as the vehicle
is in REVERSE. Under this condition, ParkSense will not
operate.
If  PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS 
appears in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID) 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.

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 operating
properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of ParkSense.
• When you turn ParkSense off, the instrument cluster
will display  PARKSENSE OFF  . Furthermore, 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 gear selector to the REVERSE
position and ParkSense is turned off, the instrument
cluster will display  PARKSENSE 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.
• Ensure the ParkSense system is OFF if objects such as
bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc., are placed within
18 in (45 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper while
driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can result in the194 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
