162 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! (Continued) • Before using the ParkSense௡ Rear Park Assist System, it is strongly recommended that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly is disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is not used for towing. Failure to do so can result in injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles because the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia when the warning display turns the red LEDs ON. Also, the sensors could detect the ball mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size and shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle. Enabling and Disabling ParkSenseா There are times when you may want to disable ParkSense௡, such as when towing a trailer. Vehicles Equipped With the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) You can turn ParkSense௡ on or off through the EVIC. Refer to "Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/ Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable Features)" in "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" for further information. Vehicles Equipped with ParkSense௡ Rear Park Assist Switch You can turn ParkSense௡ on or off by pressing the ParkSense௡ Rear Park Assist switch located on the lower switch bank below the climate controls.
