PARK ASSIST OFF


The PARK ASSIST OFF message is displayed in the driver information centre when the parking assist system is disabled due to conditions that disable or inhibit the system. The parking assist control module requests the driver information centre display PARK ASSIST OFF when it detects one of the following conditions:


• The parking assist system is manually disabled using the parking assist switch.


• An object is attached to the rear of the vehicle, such as a trailer, bicycle rack, trailer hitch receiver, or tow bar. Also, an object extending beyond a lowered tailgate will disable the system.


• The parking assist sensors are covered by snow, mud, dirt, slush, or ice.


• The vehicle bumper is damaged.


• Excessive paint thickness on a replacement parking assist sensor.


• The parking assist sensors are disrupted by vibrations, like those caused by a large nearby vehicle or from heavy equipment such as a jackhammer.
