UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 163 ParkSenseா Operation ParkSense௡ uses four sensors located in the rear bumper fascia to scan for obstacles up to 79 in (200 cm) away from the rear bumper fascia. The warning display located above the rear window provides both visible and audible warnings to indicate the range of the object. The warning display contains two sets of yellow and red LEDs, one set to warn of obstacles behind the left rear of the vehicle and the other set to warn of obstacles behind the right rear of the vehicle. The driver can view the LEDs either through the rear view mirror or by looking at the display above the rear window. When the ignition is turned to the ON position, and the system is enabled, the warning display will turn on all of its LEDs for approximately one second. Then, the system dimly illuminates the two inner most LEDs when it is detecting no obstacles. ParkSense௡ is active when the ignition is in the ON position, and the system is enabled, and the driver shifts the transmission into the REVERSE position, and the vehicle speed is less than 11 mph (18 km/h). The following chart shows the warning display operation when the system is detecting an obstacle: 3 ParkSense௡ LED Display
