310 STARTING AND OPERATING
ParkSense can be active only when the gear selector is in
REVERSE. If ParkSense is enabled at this gear selector posi-
tion, the system will remain active until the vehicle speed is
increased to approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above.
When in REVERSE and above the system's operating speed,
a warning will appear within the instrument cluster display
indicating the vehicle speed is too fast. The system will
become active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to
speeds less than approximately 6 mph (9 km/h).
ParkSense Sensors
For the 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cab vehicles, the rear
ParkSense sensors are shipped loose. Please refer to the Ram
Body Builders Guide for more information.
The four ParkSense sensors are to be located in the rear
fascia/bumper, and monitor the area behind the vehicle that
is within the sensors’ field of view.
The sensors can detect obstacles from approximately
18 inches (45 cm) up to 79 inches (200 cm) from the rear
fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the
location, type and orientation of the obstacle.
NOTE:
If equipped as a dually, the ParkSense system has six rear
sensors to assist in detection around the dually flares.
ParkSense Warning Display
The ParkSense Warning screen is located within the instru-
ment cluster display. It provides visual warnings to indicate
the distance between the rear fascia/bumper and the
detected obstacle. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
ParkSense Display
When the vehicle is in REVERSE, the warning display will
turn on indicating the system status.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by showing a
single arc in the left and/or right rear regions based on the
object’s distance and location relative to the vehicle.
If an object is detected in the left and/or right rear region, the
display will show a single solid arc in the left and/or right
rear region and the system will produce a tone. As the
vehicle moves closer to the object, the display will show the
single arc moving closer to the vehicle and the tone will
change from a single 1/2 second tone to slow, to fast, to
continuous.
