SERVICE PARK ASSIST 

The driver information center (DIC) displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when the object alarm module detects a malfunction in the object detection system and sends a request to the DIC for display of the message. The DIC also displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when there is a loss of communication with the object alarm module.

PARK ASSIST DISABLED 

The PARK ASSIST DISABLED message is displayed in the DIC when the object alarm system is disabled due to conditions that disable or inhibit the system. The object alarm module requests the DIC via GMLAN to display PARK ASSIST DISABLED when it detects that one of the following conditions is true:

  • Object alarm system disabled through DIC vehicle customization feature. Refer to the Owners Manual for more information.
  • The object alarm module detects that the vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).
  • Automatic Object induced disable feature such as towing a trailer, bicycle rack.
  • The park brake is not fully released.
  • An object is hanging out of the trunk.
