STARTING AND OPERATING 91
(Continued)
ENABLING AND DISABLING PARKSENSE
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with
the ParkSense switch, located on the switch
panel below the Uconnect display.
When the ParkSense switch is pushed to disable the system,
the instrument cluster will display the “PARKSENSE OFF”
message for approximately five seconds. When the gear
selector is moved to REVERSE and the system is disabled, the
instrument cluster display will show the “PARKSENSE OFF”
message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
The ParkSense switch LED will be on when ParkSense is
disabled or requires service. The ParkSense switch LED will
be off when the system is enabled. If the ParkSense switch
is pushed, and requires service, the ParkSense switch LED
will blink momentarily, and then the LED will be on.
SERVICE THE PARKSENSE REAR PARK
A
SSIST SYSTEM
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense Rear Park Assist
system has detected a faulted condition, the instrument cluster
will actuate a single chime, once per ignition cycle, and it will
display the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS”
or the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED”. When
the gear selector is moved to REVERSE and the system has
detected a faulted condition, the instrument cluster display
Ú
page 62 will show the "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE
REAR SENSORS" or "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED" message for five seconds while the vehicle is in
REVERSE. The vehicle graphic will remain displayed for as long
as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS” appears
in the instrument cluster display, make sure the outer surface
and the underside of the rear fascia/bumper is clean and clear
of snow, ice, mud, dirt, or other obstructions and then cycle the
ignition. If the message continues to appear, see an authorized
dealer.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED”
appears in the instrument cluster display, see an
authorized dealer.
CLEANING THE PARKSENSE SYSTEM
Clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car wash soap,
and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not
scratch or poke the sensors.
PARKSENSE SYSTEM USAGE
P
RECAUTIONS
NOTE:
Ensure that the rear fascia/bumper is free of snow, ice,
mud, dirt, and debris to keep the ParkSense system
operating properly.
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of ParkSense.
When you turn ParkSense off, the instrument cluster
will display “PARKSENSE OFF”. Furthermore, once you
turn ParkSense off, it remains off until you turn it on
again, even if you cycle the ignition.
When you move the gear selector to the REVERSE posi-
tion and ParkSense is turned off, the instrument
cluster display will show “PARKSENSE OFF” for as long
as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
ParkSense, when on, will reduce the volume of the
radio when it is sounding a tone.
Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, taking care not
to scratch or damage them. The sensors must not be
covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt, or debris.
Failure to do so can result in the system not working
properly. The ParkSense system might not detect an
obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it could provide
a false indication that an obstacle is behind the
fascia/bumper.
ParkSense should be disabled when the liftgate is in
the open position.
Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense
system off if objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer
hitches, etc., are placed within 12 inches (30 cm) of
the rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can result
in the system misinterpreting a close object as a
blockage or sensor problem, causing the “PARKSENSE
UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS” message to be
displayed in the instrument cluster display.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using ParkSense. Always check carefully behind your
vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions,
and blind spots before backing up. You are respon-
sible for safety and must continue to pay attention to
your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
