When an object is detected within 79 inches
(200 cm) behind the rear bumper while the
vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will appear in
the instrument cluster display. In addition a
chime will sound (when Sound and Display is
selected from the Customer Programmable Fea-
tures section of the Uconnect System screen).
As the vehicle moves closer to the object, the
chime rate will change from single 1/2 second
tone (for rear only), to slow (for rear only), to fast,
to continuous.
Activation/Deactivation
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides vi-
sual and audible indications of the distance
between the rear and/or front fascia and a de-
tected obstacle when backing up or moving
forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver. If your
vehicle is equipped with an Automatic Trans-
mission, the vehicle brakes may be automati-
cally applied and released when performing a
reverse parking maneuver if the system detects
a possible collision with an obstacle.
ParkSense can be active only when the gear selec-
tor 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 approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or
above. A display warning will appear in the instru-
ment cluster display indicating the vehicle is above
ParkSense operating speed. The system will be-
come active again if the vehicle speed is decreased
to speeds less than approximately 6 mph (9 km/h).
Engagement/Disengagement
To disengage the system, push the ParkSense
switch, located on the switch panel below the
Uconnect display.
When the system passes from engaged to dis-
engaged and vice versa, it is always accompa-
nied by a dedicated message in the instrument
cluster display.
System engaged: ParkSense switch LED off.
System disengaged: ParkSense switch LED on
constantly.
The ParkSense switch LED lights up also in the
case of a ParkSense system failure. If the button
is pushed with a system failure, the ParkSense
switch LED flashes for about five seconds, then
it stays on constantly.
After the ParkSense has been disengaged, it will
stay in this condition until the following engage-
ment, even if the ignition device passes from
ON/RUN to OFF and then again to ON/RUN.
Operation With A Trailer
The operation of the sensors is automatically
deactivated when the trailer's electric plug is
inserted in the vehicle's tow hook socket. The
sensors are automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
General Warnings
If “PARKSENSE UNAV AILABLE WIPE REAR
SENSORS" or "P ARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE
WIPE FRONT SENSORS” appears in the instru-
ment cluster display, clean the ParkSense sen-
sors 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 dam-
age the sensors.
