Note
A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with the vehicle's electrical system will be taken into account when measuring the available space behind the vehicle.
Note
- The system will not detect high objects, such as a loading dock, etc.
- Certain materials or fabrics may not be detected by the sensors. Objects made of these materials or people wearing clothing made of these fabrics may not be detected.
- Children or animals near the vehicle may not always be detected.
- Objects such as chains, thin shiny poles or low objects may temporarily not be detected by the system. This may result in the pulsing tone unexpectedly stopping instead of changing to a constant tone as the vehicle approaches the object. In such cases, use caution when backing up or stop the vehicle to help avoid damage.
- In certain circumstances, the park assist system may give unexpected warning signals that can be caused by external sound sources that use the same ultrasound frequencies as the system. This may include such things as the horns of other vehicles, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, motorcycle exhaust pipes, other vehicles with similar ultrasound systems, etc. This does not indicate a fault in the system.
Cleaning the sensors
The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure that they work properly. Clean them with water and a suitable car washing detergent.
Note
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g., dirt, snow, or ice, this could result in false warning signals from the park assist system or the system may not function at all.
