The EVIC will also display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message for a minimum of five seconds when a system
fault related to an incorrect sensor location fault is
detected. In this case, the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message is then followed with a graphic display with
pressure values still shown. This indicates that the
pressure values are still being received from the TPM
sensors but they may not be located in the correct
vehicle position. The system still needs to be serviced
as long as the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message is
displayed.
NOTE:
1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire pres-sure monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will
not monitor the pressure in the compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure
warning limit, upon the next ignition switch cycle,
the TPMS Telltale Light will remain on and a chime
will sound. In addition, the graphic in the EVIC will
still display a different color pressure value. An
"Inflate Tire to XXX" message will also be displayed. 3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above
25 km/h, the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. In addition,
the EVIC will display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message for a minimum of five seconds and then
display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.
4. For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime will sound, the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid, and the
EVIC will display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" mes-
sage for a minimum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.
5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact
spare, the TPMS will update automatically. In addi-
tion, the TPMS Telltale Light will turn off and the
graphic in the EVIC will display a new pressure value
instead of dashes (- -), as long as no tire pressure is
below the low-pressure warning limit in any of the
four active road tires. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above 25 km/h in order
for the TPMS to receive this information.

TPMS Deactivation And Reactivation
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with wheel and tire
assemblies that do not have TPMS Sensors, such as
when installing winter wheel and tire assemblies on
your vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with those not equipped
with TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for 20
minutes above 25 km/h. The TPMS will chime and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. In addition,
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will
display a “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” text message, and
the graphic will display “- -“ in place of four tire
pressure values. Upon the next ignition switch cycle,
the TPMS will no longer chime or turn on the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light, or display the text
message in the EVIC. However, the graphic will still
display “- -.“To reactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with those equipped with
TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20
minutes above 25 km/h. The TPMS will chime, the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds, the EVIC will display a “SERVICE TPM

REAR PARK ASSIST (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The 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 “Park Assist System Usage
Precautions” for limitations of this system and recom-
mendations.
Park Assist will retain the last system state (enabled or
disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition
is changed to the ON/RUN position.
Park Assist can be active only when the shift lever is in
REVERSE. If Park Assist 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.PARK ASSIST SENSORS
The four Park Assist 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.
PARK ASSIST WARNING DISPLAY
The Park Assist Warning screen will only be displayed if
Sound and Display is selected from the Uconnect®
System. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings” for further
information.
The Park Assist 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.

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” or “SERVICE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM” appears in the EVIC, see your authorized
dealer.
CLEANING THE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
Clean the 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.
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM USAGE
PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
• Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow, ice,mud, dirt and debris to keep the Park Assist system
operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of Park Assist. • When you turn Park Assist off, the EVIC will display
“PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF.” Furthermore, once
you turn Park Assist 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 Park Assist is turned off, the EVIC will
display the “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” message
for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
• Clean the Park Assist 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 Park Assist 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.
• Ensure that the Park Assist system is turned OFF if objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc.,
are 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” mes-
sage to be displayed in the EVIC.

feature and it is turned ON, the rear camera image will
be displayed for up to 10 seconds when the vehicle is
shifted out of REVERSE unless the forward vehiclespeed exceeds 13 km/h, the transmission is shifted into
"PARK" or the vehicle's ignition is cycled to the OFF
position.
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 distance to the rear of
the vehicle.
NOTE:
The ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera has
programmable modes of operation that may be se-
lected through the Uconnect® System. Refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Knowing Your Vehicle” for
