STARTING AND OPERATING 123
SIDE DISTANCE WARNING SYSTEM
The Side Distance Warning system detects the
presence of side obstacles near the vehicle using
the parking sensors located in the front and rear
bumpers.
Side Distance Warning Display
The Side Distance Warning screen will only be
displayed if “Sound and Display” is selected within
the Uconnect system Ú page 150.
The system warns the driver with an acoustic
signal and, when enabled, with visual indications
on the instrument panel display.
NOTE:
Parksense will reduce the volume of the radio if on
when the system is sounding an audible tone. An
audible tone will only sound if a collision is
possible.
Activation/Deactivation
The system can operate only after driving a short
distance and if the vehicle speed is between 0 and
7 mph (0 and 11 km/h). The system can be
activated/deactivated within the Uconnect system.
If the ParkSense System is deactivated via the
ParkSense switch then the Side Distance Warning
system will automatically be deactivated.
Message on the display for Side Distance Warning
feature:
“Wipe Sensors” — This message is displayed in the
case of a failure of the Side Distance Warning
system sensors. Free the bumpers of any
obstacles, ensure that the front and rear fascia/
bumper are free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris
to keep the ParkSense system operating properly.
“System Not Available” — This message is
displayed if the Side Distance Warning system is
not available. The failed operation of the system
might be due to the insufficient voltage from the
battery or other failures on the electrical system.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible
to have the electrical system checked.
ParkSense Usage Precautions
Some conditions may influence the performance
of the Side Distance Warning system:
NOTE:
Ensure that the front and rear fascia/bumper
are free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to
keep the ParkSense system operating properly.
Construction equipment, large trucks, and other
vibrations could affect the performance of Park-
Sense.
CAUTION!
ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, including
small obstacles. Parking curbs might be
temporarily detected or not detected at all.
Obstacles located above or below the sensors
will not be detected when they are in close
proximity.
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using
ParkSense in order to be able to stop in time
when an obstacle is detected. It is recom-
mended that the driver looks over his/her
shoulder when using ParkSense.
