168 STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
Parksense will reduce the volume of the radio if
on when the system is sounding an audible
tone. An audible tone will only sound if a colli-
sion is possible.
Activation/Deactivation
The system can operate only after driving a
short distance and if the vehicle speed is
between 0 and 7 mph (0 and 11 km/h). The
system can be activated/deactivated via the
"Settings" menu of the Uconnect system. If the
ParkSense System is deactivated via the
ParkSense Hard switch then the Side Distance
Warning system will automatically be
deactivated.
Message on the display for Side Distance
Warning feature:
“Wipe Sensors” — This message is displayed in
the case of a failure of the Side Distance
Warning system sensors. Free the bumpers of
any obstacles, ensure that the front and rear
fascia/bumper are free of snow, ice, mud, dirt
and debris to keep the ParkSense system
operating properly.
“System Not Available” — This message is
displayed if the Side Distance Warning system
is not available. The failed operation of the
system might be due to the insufficient voltage
from the battery or other failures on the
electrical system. Contact an authorized dealer
as soon as possible to have the electrical
system checked.
ParkSense Usage Precautions
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the Side Distance Warning
system:
NOTE:
Ensure that the front and rear fascia/bumper
are free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to
keep the ParkSense system operating prop-
erly.
Construction equipment, large trucks, and
other vibrations could affect the performance
of ParkSense.
When you turn ParkSense off, the message
to appear in the instrument cluster display
will read “PARKSENSE OFF.” Furthermore,
once you turn ParkSense off, it remains off
until you turn it on again, even if you cycle the
ignition key.
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 prop-
erly. 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.
The presence of a tow hook without a trailer
may interfere with the correct operation of
the parking sensors. Before using the Park-
Sense system, it is recommended to remove
the removable tow hook ball assembly and
any attachments from the vehicle when it is
not used for towing operations.
