PARKSENSEREAR PARK ASSIST
The ParkSense Rear Park Assist system is a driver aid
that senses for obstacles behind the vehicle. Refer to
ParkSense System Usage Precautions for limitations of
this system and recommendations.
ParkSense is active when the driver shifts the transmis-
sion into the REVERSE position, and the parking brake is
not applied, and the vehicle speed is less than 10 mph
(16 km/h).
ParkSense can be turned on or off through the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) when the vehicle is in
PARK. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable Fea-
tures)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for
further information. ParkSense
uses four sensors located in the rear bumper
to scan for obstacles up to 79 in (200 cm) away from the
rear bumper fascia. The ParkSense Warning Display
located above the rear window provides both visible and
audible warnings to indicate the range of the object.

•Objects must not be within 12 in (30 cm) from the rear
fascia/bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do
so can result in the system misinterpreting a close
object as a sensor problem, causing the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message to be displayed in
the instrument cluster.
CAUTION!
•The ParkSenseRear Park Assist system is only a
parking aid and it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small obstacles. Parking curbs
might be temporarily detected or not detected at
all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors
will not be detected when they are in close prox-
imity.

•The vehicle must be driven slowly when using the
ParkSenseRear Park Assist system to be able to
stop in time when the obstacle is detected. It is

shoulder when using ParkSense.
