Driving and Operating
.
The park assist sensors are
covered by frost or ice. Frost or
ice can form around and behind
the sensors and may not always
be seen; this can occur after
washing the vehicle in cold
weather. The message may not

melted.
If the above conditions do not exist,
take the vehicle to your dealer to
repair the system.

vibrations from a jackhammer or
the compression of air brakes on

system performance.
