Cleaning The ParkSense® Sensors
If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” appears in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC), 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.
NOTE:
When the Instrument Cluster reads either Clean Sensor or Blinded, please clean off
the bumper sensors to see if the condition is corrected.
PARKVIEW® REAR BACK-UP CAMERA
• You can see an on-screen image of the rear surroundings of your vehicle whenever the shift lever is put into REVERSE. The ParkView®Rear Back-Up Camera image
will be displayed in the rearview mirror or touchscreen display along with a caution
note to “check entire surroundings” across the top of the screen. After five seconds
this note will disappear.
• If the rearview mirror or touchscreen display appears foggy, clean the ParkView
®
camera located to the left of the tailgate handle.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up; even when using the ParkView®Rear
Back-Up Camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to
check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before
backing up. You must continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

Pinch Protection Feature
This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Express
Close operation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof
will automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if this occurs. Next, press the
switch forward and release to Express Close.
NOTE:
If three consecutive sunroof close attempts result in Pinch Protect reversals, the
fourth close attempt will be a Manual Close movement with Pinch Protect disabled.
WARNING!
•Do not let children play with the sunroof. Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Do not leave the Key Fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly unattended
children, can become entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power
sunroof switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an opensunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat
belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
•
Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any
window. This will minimize buffeting.
