Parking Aid Precautions
 WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in reverse (R) and when using the sensing system. WARNING: The system may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb reflection. Always drive with due care and attention. Failure to take care may result in a crash. WARNING: Traffic control systems, fluorescent lamps, inclement weather, air brakes, external motors and fans may affect the correct operation of the sensing system. This may cause reduced performance or false alerts. WARNING: The system may not detect small or moving objects, particularly those close to the ground. WARNING: The parking aid system can only assist you to detect objects when your vehicle is moving at parking speeds. To help avoid personal injury you must take care when using the parking aid system. WARNING: The system may not function if the sensor is blocked. WARNING: In cold and severe weather conditions the system may not function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit sensor performance. WARNING: If damage occurs in the immediate area surrounding the sensor, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. |
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage leaving the sensors misaligned, this will cause inaccurate measurements or false alerts.
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle, the rear parking aid detects the trailer and provides an alert. Disable the parking aid when you connect a trailer to prevent the alert.
Note: The system might detect a connected trailer, if so, it turns parking aid off.
Note: Certain add-on devices installed around the bumper or fascia may create false alerts. For example, large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate brackets, bumper covers or any other device could block the normal detection zone of the parking aid system. Aftermarket spare tires or spare tire covers mounted to the rear tailgate could cause false alerts from the park aid system. Remove the add-on device to prevent false alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors free of debris. Accumulation of dirt, snow or ice over the sensors can affect the accuracy of the system.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
Note: When using a programmed MyKey, you cannot switch the parking aids off.See MyKey™.
