PARKSENSE® FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST
ParkSense®can be enabled and disabled by pressing the ParkSense®switch located
below the climate controls, on the switch panel.
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
orientation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense
®sensors, 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
orientation of the obstacle.
When an object is detected within 6.5 ft (2 m) behind the rear bumper while the
vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) and a chime will sound (when Sound and Display is selected from the
Customer Programmable Features 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.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

MEDIA HUB – PLAYING iPod®/USB/MP3 DEVICES
• There are many ways to play music from iPod®/MP3 players or USB devices
through your vehicle's sound system.
Audio Jack (AUX)
• The AUX allows a portable device, such as an MP3 player or an iPod
®,tobe
plugged into the radio and utilize the vehicle’s sound system, using a 3.5 mm
audio cable, to amplify the source and play through the vehicle speakers.
• Touching the Media soft-key then choose AUX source will change the mode to
auxiliary device if the audio jack is connected, allowing the music from your
portable device to be heard through the vehicle's speakers. In order to activate the
AUX, plug in the audio jack.
• The functions of the portable device are controlled using the device buttons. The
volume may be controlled using the radio or portable device.
• To route the audio cable out of the center console, use the access cut out in the
front of the console.
USB Port
• Connect your iPod
®or compatible device using a USB cable into the USB Port.
USB Memory sticks with audio files can also be used. Then, audio from the device
can be played on the vehicle’s sound system while providing metadata (artist, track
title, album, etc.) information on the radio display.
• When connected, the iPod
®/compatible USB device can be controlled using the
radio or Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip to the next or previous track,
browse, and list the contents.
• The iPod
®battery charges when plugged into the USB port (if supported by the
specific device).
• To route the USB/iPod
®cable out of the center console, use the access cut out.
NOTE:
• When connecting your iPod
®device for the first time, the system may take several
minutes to read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the
system will take approximately five minutes for every 1000 songs loaded on the
device. Also during the reading process, the Shuffle and Browse functions will be
disabled. This process is needed to ensure the full use of your iPod
®features and
only happens the first time it is connected. After the first time, the reading process
of your iPod
®will take considerably less time unless changes are made or new
songs are added to the playlist.
•
The USB port supports certain Mini, Classic, Nano, Touch, and iPhone®devices. The
USB port also supports playing music from compatible external USB Mass Storage
Class memory devices. Some iPod
®software versions may not fully support the USB
port features. Please visit Apple’s website for iPod®software updates.
SD Card
• Play songs stored on an SD card inserted into the SD card slot.
• Song playback can be controlled using the radio or Steering Wheel Audio Controls
to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse, and list the contents.
