Speed Limit Exceeded
When the vehicle’s speed exceeds the displayed speed
limit by 3 mph (5 km/h), the speed limit sign on the
instrument cluster display will show a red outline to
alert the driver.
CAUTION!
•
Functionality may be limited or the system may not
work if the sensor is obstructed.
•
The system may have limited operation or not work
at all in weather conditions such as heavy rain,
hail, and thick fog. Strong light contrasts can influ-
ence the recognition capability of the sensor.
•
The area surrounding the sensor must not be cov-
ered with stickers or any other object.
•
Do not tamper or perform any operations in the
area of the windshield glass directly surrounding
the sensor.
•
Clean foreign matters such as bird droppings,
insects, snow or ice on the windshield. Use specific
detergents and clean cloths to avoid scratching the
windshield.
PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides visual and
audible indications of the distance between the rear
and the front fascia/bumper and a detected obstacle
when backing up or moving forward (e.g. during a park-
ing maneuver). The vehicle brakes may be automati-
cally applied and released when performing a reverse
parking maneuver if the system detects a possible colli-
sion with an obstacle.
NOTE:
•
The driver can disable the automatic braking function
by turning ParkSense off via the ParkSense switch.
The driver can also override automatic braking by
changing the gear or by pressing the gas pedal over
90% of its capacity during the braking event.
•
Automatic brakes are not available if the vehicle is
in 4WD Low.
•
Automatic brakes will not be available if there is a
faulted condition detected with the ParkSense Park
Assist system or the Braking System Module.
•
The automatic braking function may only be applied
if the vehicle deceleration is not enough to avoid
colliding with a detected obstacle.
•
The automatic braking function may not be applied
fast enough for obstacles that move toward the rear
of the vehicle from the left and/or right sides.
•
The automatic braking function can be enabled/
disabled from the Customer Programmable Fea-
tures section of the Uconnect system.
•
ParkSense will retain its last known configuration
state for the automatic braking function through
ignition cycles.
The automatic braking function is intended to assist the
driver in avoiding possible collisions with detected
obstacles when backing up in REVERSE gear.
NOTE:
•
The system is designed to assist the driver and not
to substitute the driver.
•
The driver must stay in full control of the vehicle's
acceleration and braking and is responsible for the
vehicle's movements.
For limitations of this system and recommendations,
see
page 144.
ParkSense will retain the last system state (enabled or
disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition
is changed to the ON/RUN position.
ParkSense can be active only when the gear selector is
in REVERSE or DRIVE. If ParkSense is enabled at one of
these gear selector positions, the system will remain
active until the vehicle speed is increased to approxi-
mately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. The system will
become active again if the vehicle speed is decreased
to less than approximately 6 mph (9 km/h). A display
warning will appear in the instrument cluster display if
the vehicle is in REVERSE and the speed exceeds
7 mph (11 km/h).
PARKSENSE SENSORS
The four ParkSense sensors located in the rear fascia/
bumper, and the six ParkSense sensors located in the
front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front and
behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of
view. The front sensors detect obstacles from approxi-
mately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches (120 cm)
from the front fascia/bumper. The rear sensors can
detect obstacles from approximately 12 inches (30 cm)
up to 79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper.
These distances depend on the location, type and ori-
entation of the obstacle in the horizontal direction.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is equipped with ParkSense Active Park
Assist, there will be six ParkSense sensors located in
the rear fascia/bumper.
