316 STARTING AND OPERATING (Continued) 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: and debris to keep the ParkSense system operating prop- erly. • Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of ParkSense. • When you move the gear selector into REVERSE with ParkSense turned off, the instrument cluster display will show "Off" on the vehicle graphic arcs 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 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 inches (45 cm) of the rear fascia/bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can result in the system misin- terpreting a close obstacle as a sensor problem, causing the "Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service Required" message to appear in the instrument cluster display. WARNING! • Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using ParkSense. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before backing up. You are responsible for safety and must continue to pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. |
