194 STARTING AND OPERATING
(Continued)
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 or in front of the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind or in front of the fascia/bumper.
Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense
system off if obstacles such as bicycle carriers, trailer
hitches, etc. are placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from
the rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can result in
the system misinterpreting a close obstacle as a
sensor problem, causing the “PARKSENSE UNAVAIL-
ABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” message to appear in the
instrument cluster display.
ParkSense should be disabled when the tailgate is in the
lowered or open position. A lowered tailgate could provide
a false indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA
The ParkView Rear Back Up Camera allows you to see an
on-screen image of the rear surroundings of your vehicle
whenever the gear selector is in REVERSE. The image will
be displayed in the touchscreen display along with a
caution note to “check entire surroundings” across the top
of the screen. After five seconds this note will disappear.
The ParkView camera is located on the tailgate, above the
vehicle license plate.
Manual Activation Of The Rear View Camera
1. Go to the Controls screen by pressing the “Controls”
button located on the bottom of the Uconnect
display, and then press “Backup Camera”.
2. Press the “Backup Camera” button to turn the Rear
View Camera system on.
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with the Uconnect 3 With 5-Inch
Display, there is only one option for manual activation of
the Rear View Camera. Press the “More” button on the
Uconnect system, and then press “Backup Camera”.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (with Camera
Delay turned off), the rear Camera mode is exited and the
previous screen appears again.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (with Camera
Delay turned on), the rear Camera image will be displayed
for up to 10 seconds unless the vehicle speed exceeds
8 mph (13 km/h), the transmission is shifted into PARK,
the ignition is placed in the OFF position, or the
touchscreen button “X” to disable display of the Rear View
Camera image is pressed.
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.
Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recommended
that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly be
disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is
not used for towing. Failure to do so can result in
injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles because
the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than
the rear fascia when the vehicle sounds the contin-
uous tone. Also, the sensors could detect the ball
mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size
and shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle
is behind the vehicle.
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 recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when using
ParkSense.
WARNING!
