192 STARTING AND OPERATING
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
Increases as the distance between vehicle
and object decreases.
Becomes continuous when the distance that
separates the vehicle from the obstacle is
less than approximately 12 inches (30 cm),
while terminates immediately if the distance
to the obstacle increases.
Remains constant if the distance between
vehicle and obstacle remains unchanged. If
this situation occurs for the external sensors,
the signal is stopped after approximately
three seconds to avoid, for example, activa-
tion in case of maneuver along a wall.
When the system emits a beeping sound, the
volume of the Uconnect system, if turned on, is
automatically lowered by Rear ParkSense.
Detection Distances
If the sensors detect more obstacles, only the
obstacle with the shortest distance is taken into
account.
Instrument Cluster Display
Rear ParkSense is displayed on the instrument
cluster only if you have selected "Sound and
Display" within the "Safety And Driving
Assistance" menu of the Uconnect system.
If an obstacle is detected in the center rear
region, the display will show a single solid arc in
the center rear region and will produce a
one-half second tone. As the vehicle moves
closer to the obstacle, the display will show the
single arc moving closer to the vehicle and the
sound tone will change from slow, to fast, to
continuous.
If an obstacle is detected in the left and/or right
rear region, the display will show a single
flashing arc in the left and/or right rear region
and will produce a fast sound tone. As the
vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the
display will show the single arc moving closer to
the vehicle and the tone will change from fast to
continuous.
In general, the vehicle is closest to the obstacle
when the display shows only a flashing arc and
the chime becomes continuous.
The color on the display depends on the
distance and location of the obstacle.
Enabling And Disabling Rear ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with
the ParkSense switch.
When the Rear ParkSense switch is
pushed to disable the system, the
instrument cluster display will show a
message such as “PARKSENSE DISABLED” for
approximately five seconds. Refer to
“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
The Rear ParkSense switch LED turns on when
the system is disabled by pressing the switch,
as well as in case of failure or temporary
disabling conditions. The Rear ParkSense
switch LED will be off when the system is
enabled. If the Rear ParkSense switch is
pushed, and requires service, the Rear
ParkSense switch LED will blink momentarily,
and then the LED will be on.
Rear ParkSense will remember the previous
state when the ignition is placed in the OFF
position.
CAUTION!
After turning OFF the ignition, the Rear Park-
Sense remains in this setting until the next
ignition cycle, even in the case of changing
the setting of starting RUN to OFF and then
again in RUN.
