STARTING AND OPERATING 91
Front Park Assist Audible Alerts
Park Assist will turn off the Front Park Assist audible alert
(chime) after approximately three seconds when an
obstacle has been detected, and the vehicle is stationary.
If the obstacle has been detected within less than
12 inches (30 cm), then the Park Assist will not turn off the
Front Park Assist audible alert.
Adjustable Chime Volume Settings
Front and Rear chime volume settings can be selected
from the Customer-Programmable Features section of the
Uconnect system
Ú page 106.
If the Uconnect system is equipped, chime volume
settings will not be accessible from the instrument
cluster display.
The chime volume settings include low, medium, and high.
Park Assist will retain its last known configuration state
through ignition cycles.
ENABLING AND DISABLING PARK
A
SSIST
Park Assist can be enabled and disabled with
the Park Assist switch, located on the
instrument panel below the Uconnect display,
next to the USB ports.
When the Park Assist switch is pushed to disable the
system, the instrument cluster display will show the
“Park Assist Disabled” message for approximately
five seconds
Ú page 53.
The Park Assist switch LED will be on when the Park Assist
system is disabled or requires service. The Park Assist
switch LED will be off when the system is enabled.
If the Park Assist switch is pushed, and the system
requires service, the Park Assist switch LED will blink
momentarily, and then the LED will be on.
NOTE:
The rear sensors are automatically deactivated if a
trailer’s electric plug is inserted in the vehicle’s trailer elec-
trical socket. The front sensors stay active and can provide
acoustic and visual warnings. The rear sensors are auto-
matically reactivated when the trailer's cable plug is
removed.
SERVICE THE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
During vehicle start up, when the Park Assist System has
detected a faulted condition, the instrument cluster
display will actuate a single chime, once per ignition cycle,
and it will show the "PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE WIPE
REAR SENSORS", "PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE WIPE
FRONT SENSORS", or the "PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE
SERVICE REQUIRED" message for five seconds.
If "PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS" or
"PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE WIPE FRONT SENSORS"
appears in the instrument cluster display make sure the
outer surface and the underside of the rear fascia/
bumper and/or front fascia/bumper is clean and clear of
snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction and then cycle the
ignition. If the message continues to appear see an
authorized dealer.
If the "PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED"
message appears in the instrument cluster display, see an
authorized dealer.
CLEANING THE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
Clean the Park Assist sensors with water, car wash soap
and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not
scratch or poke the sensors. Otherwise, you could damage
the sensors.
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM USAGE
P
RECAUTIONS
NOTE:
Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of the
front and rear fascia/bumper are clean and clear of
snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction to keep the
Park Assist system operating properly.
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of Rear Park Assist.
Clean the Park Assist 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 Park Assist 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.
Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not be
placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close object as a
sensor problem, causing a failure indication to be
displayed in the instrument cluster.
