AUDIBLE ALERTS
ParkSense® will turn off the Front
Park Assist audible alert (chime) after
approximately 3 seconds when an ob-
stacle has been detected, the vehicle is
stationary, and brake pedal is applied.
ENABLING AND
DISABLING PARKSENSE®
ParkSense® can be enabled and dis-
abled using the Uconnect Touch™ Sys-
tem. The available choices are: Off,
Sound Only, or Sound and Display.
Refer to “Uconnect Touch™ Settings”
in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
When the ParkSense® soft-key is
pressed to disable the system, the
EVIC will display the “PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM OFF” message for approxi-
mately five seconds. Refer to “Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion. When the shift lever is moved to
REVERSE position and ParkSense®
is turned off, the instrument cluster
will display “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
OFF” message for as long as the
vehicle is in REVERSE at or below
11 km/h. SERVICE THE
PARKSENSE® PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM
When the ParkSense® Park Assist
System is malfunctioning, the instru-
ment cluster will actuate a single
chime, once per ignition cycle. The
instrument cluster will display the
“CLEAN PARK ASSIST” message
when any of the rear or front sensor(s)
are blocked by snow, mud, or ice and
the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE
or DRIVE. The instrument cluster
will display the “SERVICE PARK
ASSIST” 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
136
the system has detected a faulted con-
dition, the EVIC will display the
“CLEAN PARK ASSIST”, “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST” or the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message for
as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE
or DRIVE (at speeds less than
11 km/h). Under this condition
ParkSense® will not operate. Refer
to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
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 and/or front 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" or
“SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM”
appears in the EVIC, see an autho-
rized 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 front and rear
bumper are 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 AS-
SIST SYSTEM OFF.” Further-
more, 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 or DRIVE posi-
tion and ParkSense® is turned
off, the EVIC will display “PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” message
for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE at or below 11 km/h.
Clean the ParkSense® sensors
regularly, taking care not to
scratch or damage them. The sen-
sors 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 de-
tect 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.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 misinterpret-
ing a close object as a sensor
problem, causing the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST” message to be
displayed in the EVIC.
137
CAUTION!
ParkSense® is only a parking aidand it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small ob-
stacles. Parking curbs might be
temporarily detected or not de-
tected at all. Obstacles located
above or below the sensors will
not be detected when they are in
close proximity.
The vehicle must be driven slowly
when using ParkSense® in order
to be able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. When back-
ing up, it is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder
when using ParkSense®.WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the
ParkSense® Park Assist system.
Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, look behind you,
and be sure to check for pedestri-
ans, animals, other vehicles, ob-
structions, and blind spots before
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
backing up. You are responsible
for safety and must continue to
pay attention to your surround-
ings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
Before using the ParkSense® Park Assist system, it is strongly
recommended that the ball
mount and hitch ball assembly is
disconnected from the vehicle
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
warning display turns on the
single flashing arc and sounds the
continuous 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 be-
hind the vehicle. PARKVIEW® REAR
BACK UP CAMERA
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
the ParkView® Rear Back Up Cam-
era 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 sec-
onds this note will disappear. The
ParkView® camera 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.
138
When displayed, static grid lines will
illustrate the width of the vehicle
while a dashed center-line will indi-
cate the center of the vehicle to assistwith parking or aligning to a hitch/
receiver. The static grid lines will
show separate zones that will help
indicate the distance to the rear of thevehicle. 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 greaterWARNING!
Drivers must be careful when back-
ing up even when using the
ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera.
Always check carefully behind your
vehicle, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other ve-
hicles, obstructions, or blind spots
before backing up. You are respon-
sible for the safety of your sur-
roundings and must continue to
pay attention while backing up.
Failure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.
CAUTION!
To avoid vehicle damage,
ParkView® should only be used
as a parking aid. The ParkView®
camera is unable to view every
obstacle or object in your drive
path.
To avoid vehicle damage, the ve-
hicle must be driven slowly when
using ParkView® to be able to stop
in time when an obstacle is seen. It
is recommended that the driver
look frequently over his/her shoul-
der when using ParkView®.
NOTE: If snow, ice, mud, or any
foreign substance builds up on the
camera lens, clean the lens, rinse
with water, and dry with a soft
cloth. Do not cover the lens.
