Interaction With Trailer Towing
The Park Assist system is automatically deactivated when
a trailer equipped by MOPAR is hitched to the vehicle. The
system will be automatically activated as soon as the trailer
is removed. If it does not happen, turning the key ignition
switch to OFF and then to ON again would be needed. In
case of a non MOPAR trailer hitches are mounted the
sensor deactivation cannot be guaranteed.
ParkSense Rear 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,
in the horizontal direction, from approximately 12 in
(30 cm) up to 55 in (140 cm) from the center of the rear
fascia/bumper and up to 24 in (60 cm) from the corners of
the rear fascia/bumper, depending on the location, type
and orientation of the obstacle.If several obstacles are detected, the Park Assist system
indicates the nearest obstacle.
The minimum height of a detectable obstacle corresponds
to the maximum height of an obstacle that would clear the
underside of the vehicle during the parking maneuver.

While audible signals are emitted, the audio system is not
muted.
The audible signal is turned off immediately if the distance
increases. The tone cycle remains constant if the distance
measured by the inner sensors is constant. If this condition
occurs for the external sensors, the signal is turned off after
three seconds (stopping warnings during maneuvers par-
allel to walls).
ParkSense Rear Park Assist Failure Indications
A malfunction of the Park Assist sensors or system is
indicated, during REVERSE gear engagement, by the in-
strument panel warning icon.The warning icon is illuminated and a message is
displayed on the multifunction display (if
equipped). Refer to “Instrument Cluster Descrip-
tions” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
The sensors and wiring are tested continuously when the
ignition is in the ON/RUN position. Failures are indicated
immediately if they occur when the system is ON.
Even if the system is able to identify that a specific sensor
is in failure condition, the Instrument Cluster Display shall
indicate that the Park Assist system is unavailable, without reference to the sensor in failure condition. If even a single
sensor fails, the entire system must be disabled. The system
is turned off automatically.
Cleaning The ParkSense Rear Park Assist System
Clean the Park Assist sensors with water, car wash soap
and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. In
washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the vapor
jet/high pressure washing nozzles at least 4 inches (10 cm)
from the sensors. Do not scratch or poke the sensors.
Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.
ParkSense Rear Park Assist System Usage
Precautions
NOTE:
•
Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of the
rear bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or
other obstruction to keep the ParkSense Rear Park Assist
system operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of Park Assist.
• 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.

If it’s necessary to keep the ball mount and hitch ball
assembly mounted for a long period, it is possible to filter
out the ball mount and hitch ball assembly presence in

PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA — IF
EQUIPPED
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 gear
selector is put into REVERSE. The image will be displayed
on the 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
camera is located on the rear of the vehicle above the rear
License plate.
The Camera Delay setting can be set to ON/OFF on the
rear camera settings menu. When the vehicle is shifted outof REVERSE and the Camera Delay is turned OFF, the rear
camera mode is exited and the navigation or audio screen
appears on display again.
When the transmission is shifted out of REVERSE, with the
delay camera activated ON in the menu screen, the camera
image will continue to be displayed up to 10 seconds,
unless the speed of the vehicle is greater than 8 mph
(13 km/h), the transmission is in PARK position or the
ignition key is in the OFF position.
The display of the camera image can be enabled or
disabled through the rear camera setting menu item (Cam-
era ON/OFF).
When displayed, static grid lines will illustrate the width of
the vehicle and will show separate zones that will help
indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle. The follow-
ing table shows the approximate distances for each zone:
Zone
Distance to the rear of the vehicle
Red 0 - 1 ft (0 - 30 cm)
Yellow 1 ft - 3 ft (30 cm - 1 m)
Green 3 ft or greater (1 m or greater)

WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing 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 vehicles, obstruc-
tions, or blind spots before backing up. You are re-
sponsible for the safety of your surroundings 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 vehicle 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 shoulder
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.
