PARKSENSE® REAR PARK ASSIST
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The ParkSense
®
Rear Park Assist system provides
visual and audible indications of the distance between
the rear fascia and a detected obstacle when backing
up, e.g. during a parking maneuver. Refer to
“ParkSense
®
System Usage Precautions” for limita-
tions 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. If ParkSense
®is enabled at this shift lever
position, the system will remain active until the vehicle
speed is increased to approximately 11 km/h or above.
The system will become active again if the vehicle
speed is decreased to speeds less than approximately
9 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 30 cm up to 200
cm from the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal direc- tion, depending on the location, type and orientation
of the obstacle.
PARKSENSE
®WARNING DISPLAY
The ParkSense®Warning screen will only be displayed
if Sound and Display is selected from the Uconnect
Touch™ System. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™ Set-
tings” for further information.
The ParkSense®Warning screen is located within the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). It pro-
vides visual warnings to indicate the distance between
the rear fascia/bumper and the detected obstacle. Re-
fer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/
Settings” for further information.
PARKSENSE®DISPLAY
When the vehicle is in REVERSE, the warning display
will turn ON indicating the system status. (fig. 101)
(fig. 102)
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by show-
ing three solid arcs and will produce a one-half second
tone. As the vehicle moves closer to the object, the
EVIC display will show fewer arcs and the sound tone
will change from slow, to fast, to continuous. (fig. 103)

SERVICE THE PARKSENSE
®REAR PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM
When the ParkSense
®
Rear Park Assist system is
malfunctioning, the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) will actuate a single chime, once per
ignition cycle, and it will display the “CLEAN PARK
ASSIST”, “SERVICE PARK ASSIST” or “SERVICE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM” message. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)” for further information.
When the shift lever is moved to REVERSE and the
system has detected a fault condition, the EVIC will
display the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST”, “SERVICE PARK
ASSIST” or “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” mes-
sage for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE. Under this
condition, ParkSense
®will not operate.
If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST” appears in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) make sure the
outer surface and the underside of the rear fascia/
bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or
other obstruction and then cycle the ignition. If the
message continues to appear see an authorized dealer.
If “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” or “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” appears in the EVIC, see your
authorized dealer.
CLEANING THE PARKSENSE
®SYSTEM
Clean the ParkSense
®
sensors 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 damage the sensors.
PARKSENSE
®SYSTEM USAGE
PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow, ice,
mud, dirt and debris to keep the ParkSense
®system
operating properly.
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of ParkSense®.
When you turn ParkSense
®off, the EVIC will display
“PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF.” Furthermore, once
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 position and ParkSense®is turned off, the EVIC will
display the “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” message
for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
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 properly. The ParkSense
®system might not
detect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it

could provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the fascia/bumper.
Objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc., must not be placed within 30 cm from the rear
fascia/bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do
so can result in the system misinterpreting a close
object as a sensor problem, causing the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST” message to be displayed in the EVIC.
ParkSense
®is only a parking aid and it
is unable to recognize every obstacle,
including small obstacles. Parking curbs
might be temporarily detected or not detected at
all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors
will not be detected when they are in close prox-
imity.
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using
ParkSense
®
in order to be able to stop in time
when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended
that the driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using ParkSense
®.
WARNING!
Dr
ivers must be careful when backing
up even when using the Rear Park Assist
system. Always check carefully behind your ve-
hicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstruc-
tions, and blind spots before backing up.You are
responsible for safety and must continue to pay
attention to your surroundings. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
Before using the Rear Park Assist system, it is
strongly recommended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly is disconnected from the ve-
hicle when the vehicle is not used for towing.
Failure to do so can result in injury or damage to
vehicles or obstacles because the hitch ball will
be much closer to the obstacle than the rear
fascia when the loudspeaker sounds the continu-
ous tone. Also, the sensors could detect the ball
mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its
size and shape, giving a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the vehicle.

PARKVIEW® REAR BACK UP
CAMERA (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Your vehicle may be equipped with the ParkView
®
Rear Back Up Camera that allows you to see an
on-screen image of the rear surroundings of your
vehicle whenever the shift lever is put into REVERSE.
The image will be displayed on the radio touchscreen
display along with a caution note to “check entire
surroundings” across the top of the screen. After five
seconds this note will disappear. The ParkView
®cam-
era is located on the rear of the vehicle above the rear
License plate. When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE, the rear
camera mode is exited and the navigation or audio
screen appears again.
When displayed, static grid lines will illustrate the
width of the vehicle while a dashed center-line will
indicate the center of the vehicle to assist with parking
or aligning to a hitch/receiver. The static grid lines will
show separate zones that will help indicate the dis-
tance to the rear of the vehicle. The following table
shows the approximate distances for each zone:
Zone
Distance to the rear of the vehicle
Red 0 - 30 cm
Yellow 30 cm - 1 m
Green 1 m or greater
