Rear Parking Assist System DIC Messages

SERVICE PARK ASSIST 

The driver information center (DIC) displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when the rear object sensor control module detects a malfunction in the parking assist system and the system is disabled. The DIC also displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when a loss of communication occurs with the rear object sensor control module.

PARK ASSIST OFF 

The PARK ASSIST OFF message is displayed in the DIC when the parking assist system is disabled due to conditions that disable or inhibit the system. The red LED in the rear parking assist display will be illuminated to indicate that the system has been disabled. The rear object sensor control module requests the DIC display PARK ASSIST OFF when it detects one of the following conditions:

• The parking assist system is manually disabled using the driver information center (DIC).
• The park brake is applied or not fully released.
• An object is attached to the rear of the vehicle, such as a trailer, bicycle rack, trailer hitch receiver, or tow bar.
• The object alarm sensors are covered by snow, mud, dirt, slush, or ice.
• The vehicle bumper is damaged.
• Excessive paint thickness on a replacement object alarm sensor.
• The object alarm sensors are disrupted by vibrations, like those caused by a large nearby vehicle or from heavy equipment such as a jackhammer.
