ParkVIZ™
The Unhindered Sensor Solution
Introducing Ex-Guard’s Proprietary ParkViz™ Technology:
The Industry’s ONLY Solution for Seamless Sensor Operation with a Grille Guard.
ParkViz™: The Key to ClearZone® Compatibility
ParkViz™ enables truck sensors to work with a grille guard. ParkViz™ Technology is not just a feature; it’s a commitment to functional safety. It represents the proprietary design and precise manufacturing processes that allow our guards to coexist with high-tech sensors.
The new system centers around precisely engineered placement and specialized materials (ParkViz™ caps) at key integration points. These innovations allow the guard to maintain its Class 8 structural integrity while simultaneously achieving ClearZone® CMS compatibility across the FX Series.
In the world of heavy-duty work trucks, protection is paramount. But as vehicles become smarter, fleet managers, drivers and all pickup owners alike face a dilemma: How do you mount a robust grille guard that truly protects without disabling or compromising critical advanced safety and parking systems?
Ex-Guard has solved that problem.
With the launch of ParkViz™ Technology, a proprietary design that ensures our toughest-ever guards work with your truck’s safety suite, not against it.
The Collision Mitigation Challenge
Modern heavy-duty pickups rely on complex sensor arrays, including radar and ultrasonic systems, for features like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and front parking assistance. These systems are sensitive: placing a large, solid object—like an 11-gauge steel grille guard—directly in front of them typically results in one of three failures:
• False Positives: The truck constantly detects the guard as an obstacle.
• Disabling Systems: The truck’s system shuts down the ACC/Advanced Driver Assistance System functionality entirely.
• Compromised Protection: Companies weaken the guard design to avoid the sensors, leaving the truck vulnerable.
At Ex-Guard, we refused to compromise. ParkViz™ is the engineering answer to this tightrope walk.
What ParkViz™ Gives:
Flawless CMS Functionality: The guard will not block, distort, or disrupt your vehicle’s Collision Mitigation System (CMS) radar, keeping a vital safety net operational.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Remains Active: Drivers can utilize ACC on the open road without sensor interference that causes frustrating system dropouts.
No Parking Sensor Nuisance: The ParkViz™ system avoids ultrasonic sensors, virtually eliminating the false parking alarms that plague generic grille guards, ensuring smooth low-speed maneuvering.
