Chime
By shifting the vehicle in REVERSE and in the case of the presence of a rear obstacle, an
acoustic signal that varies with the distance of the obstacle from the bumper is activated.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
• Increases with the distance between car and object decreases.
• Becomes continuous when the distance that separates the car 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 car and obstacle remains unchanged. If this
situation occurs for the side sensors, the signal is stopped after approximately three
seconds to avoid, for example, it activates 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 ParkSense.
Detection Distances
If the sensors detect more obstacles, it is taken into account only what is the shorter dis-
tance.
Instrument Cluster Display
ParkSense is displayed on the instrument cluster only if you have selected the item
"Sound And Display" inside the "Settings" 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 car 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 ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense switch.
When the ParkSense switch is pushed to disable the system, the instrument cluster will
display the “PARKSENSE OFF” message for approximately five seconds. Refer to “Instru-
ment Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in your Owner’s
Manual on www.fiatusa.com/en/owners/manuals for further information. When the gear
selector is moved to REVERSE and t he system is disabled, the instrument cluster display
will show the “PARKSENSE OFF” message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
