176 STARTING AND OPERATING
If it’s necessary to keep the trailer hitch and
hitch ball assembly mounted for a long period,
it is possible to filter out the trailer hitch and
hitch ball assembly presence in sensor field of
view. The filtering operation must be performed
only by an authorized dealer.
FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST — IF
EQUIPPED
The Park Assist system provides visual and
audible indications of the distance between the
rear and/or front fascia and a detected
obstacle when backing up or moving forward
(e.g. during a parking maneuver).
Refer to “Park Assist System Usage Precau-
tions” for limitations of this system and recom-
mendations.
Park Assist will retain the last system state (enabled
or disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the
ignition is changed to the ON/RUN position.
Park Assist is active when the gear selector is
shifted to REVERSE or to a forward gear and an
obstacle is detected, as long as the system is
on. When the gear selector shifted to NEUTRAL
(or PARK in case of automatic gearbox), the
system becomes inactive. When the vehicle is
moving forward, the system will remain active
until the vehicle speed remains below approxi-
mately 11 mph (18 km/h). Reducing the speed
approximately below 9 mph (15 km/h), the
system will come back active. When the vehicle
is moving in REVERSE, the system will remain
active as long as the speed remains below the
maximum operating speed of 7 mph (11 km/h).
When the maximum speed limit is exceeded,
the system is disabled and the Park Assist
switch LED will illuminate. The system will
become active again if the vehicle speed
reduces below approximately 6 mph (9 km/h).
Park Assist Sensors
The four Park Assist sensors, located in the rear
fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind the vehicle
that is within the sensors’ field of view. The sensors
can detect obstacles from approximately 12 inches
(30 cm) up to 59 inches (150 cm) from the rear
fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction,
depending on the location, type and orientation of
the obstacle.
The four Park Assist sensors, located in the
front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front
of the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of
view. The sensors can detect obstacles from
approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to
39 inches (100 cm) from the front fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction, depending
on the location, type and orientation of the
obstacle.
Park Assist Warning Display
The Park Assist Warning screen will only be
displayed if “Sound and Display” is selected
from the Customer - Programmable Features
section of the Uconnect System. Refer to "Ucon-
nect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further infor-
mation.
The Park Assist Warning screen is located
within the instrument cluster display. It provides
visual warnings to indicate the distance
between the rear fascia/bumper and/or front
fascia/bumper and the detected obstacle.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using
Park Assist 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 Park Assist.
