NOTE: If Park Assist is unable to provide feedback, the
instrument panel displays an alert message.
CAUTION: Keep sensors (if equipped) and
cameras clean from dirt, debris, snow, and ice.
Avoid using a high pressure power washer on the
sensors and cameras, and do not clean a sensor or
camera with a sharp or abrasive object that can

Limitations and False Warnings
Park Assist may not function correctly in these
situations:
•
One or more of the sensors (if equipped) or cameras
is damaged, dirty, or obstructed (such as by mud, ice,
or snow, or by a vehicle bra, excessive paint, or
adhesive products such as wraps, stickers, rubber
coating, etc.).
•
The object is located below approximately 8 inches
(20 cm) (such as a curb or low barrier).
CAUTION:
Shorter objects that are detected
(such as curbs or low barriers) can move into a
blind spot. Model X cannot alert you about an
object while it is in a blind spot.
•
Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, or fog).
•
The object is thin (such as a sign post).
•
Park Assist’s operating range has been exceeded.
•
The object is sound-absorbing or soft (such as
powder snow).
•
The object is sloped (such as a sloped embankment).
•
Model X has been parked in, or being driven in,
extremely hot or cold temperatures.
• The sensors (if equipped) are aected by other
electrical equipment or devices that generate
ultrasonic waves.
•
You are driving in a location where the sensors' (if
equipped) waves are deflected away from the vehicle
(such as driving next to a wall or pillar).
• The object is located too close to the bumper.
•
A bumper is misaligned or damaged.
• An object that is mounted to
Model X is interfering
with and/or obstructing Park Assist (such as a bike
rack or bumper sticker).
• Model X rolls freely in the opposite direction you
selected (for example, Park Assist does not display an
alert if
Model X rolls backwards down a hill while in
Drive).
Other Parking Aids
In addition to Park Assist, when shifted into Reverse, the
backup camera displays a view of the area behind
Model X (see Rear Facing Camera(s) on page 85).
