PARKSENSEPARK ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense 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 ParkSense
System Usage Precautions for limi-
tations of this system and recommendations.
ParkSense will retain the last system state (enabled or
disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition is
changed to the ON/RUN position.
ParkSense can be active only when the shift lever is in
REVERSE or DRIVE. If ParkSense is enabled at one of
these shift lever positions, the system will remain active
until the vehicle speed is increased to approximately
11 mph (18 km/h) or above. The system will become
active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to speeds
less than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h).
ParkSense Sensors
The four ParkSense 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 in (30 cm) up to 79 in
(200 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, depending on the location, type and orienta-
tion of the obstacle.
The six ParkSensesensors, 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 in (30 cm) up to 47 in
(120 cm) from the front fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, depending on the location, type and orienta-
tion of the obstacle.
ParkSense Warning Display

Sound and Display is selected from the Uconnect
Touch™ System. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation. The ParkSense
Warning screen is located within the

disabled, the EVIC will display the “PARK ASSIST OFF”
message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE or for
5 seconds when the vehicle is in DRIVE.
The ParkSensesystem uses four sensors located in the
rear bumper fascia to scan for obstacles up to 79 in
(200 cm) away from the rear bumper fascia. The Park-
Sense system uses six sensors located in the front
bumper fascia to scan for obstacles up to 47 in (120 cm)
away from the front bumper fascia. The warning display
located above in the Instrument Cluster ’s EVIC provides
both visible and audible warnings to indicate the range of
the object.
Service The ParkSense Park Assist System
When the ParkSensePark Assist System is malfunction-
ing, the instrument cluster will actuate a single chime,
once per ignition cycle. The instrument cluster will
display the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” message when any of the rear sensor(s) is blocked by snow, mud,
or ice and the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE or DRIVE.
The instrument cluster will display the “CLEAN PARK
ASSIST SENSORS” message when any of the front sen-
sor(s) is blocked by snow, mud, or ice and the vehicle is
shifted into REVERSE or DRIVE. The instrument cluster
will display the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM”
message when any of the rear or front sensors are
damaged and require service. When the shift lever is
moved to REVERSE or DRIVE and the system has
detected a faulted condition, the EVIC will display the
“CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” or the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message for as long as the
vehicle is in REVERSE or DRIVE (at speeds less than
11 mph [18 km/h]). Under this condition ParkSense
will
not operate. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.

tion, see your authorized dealer. If “SERVICE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM” appears in the EVIC, see your autho-
rized dealer.

you turn ParkSense off, it remains off until you turn
it on again, even if you cycle the ignition key.
•When you move the shift lever to the REVERSE or
DRIVE position and ParkSense is turned off, the
instrument cluster will display “PARK ASSIST OFF”
message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE and
when the vehicle is in DRIVE at or below 11 mph
(18 km/h).
