The vehicle is close to the obstacle when the warning display shows one flashing arc and sounds a continuous tone. The following chart shows the
warning alert operation when the system is detecting an obstacle:
PARKSENSE WARNING DISPLAY

The ParkSense Warning screen will only be
displayed if “Sound and Display” is selected from
the Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.

The ParkSense Warning screen is located within
th

e instrument cluster display. It provides visual
warnings to indicate the distance between the
rear fascia/bumper and the detected obstacle.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in "Getting
To Know Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
ENABLING AND DISABLING PARKSENSE
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled using
the Uconnect System. The available choices
are: Off, Sound Only, or Sound and Display.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
for further information.
When the ParkSense button is pushed to
di
sable the system, the instrument cluster
display will show the “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
OFF” message for approximately five seconds.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
further information. When the gear selector is
moved to REVERSE and the system is disabled,
the instrument cluster display will show the
“PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” message for as
long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.

PARK ASSIST", OR "SERVICE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM" messages for as long as the vehicle is
in REVERSE. Under this condition, ParkSense
will not operate.
If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST” appears in the
in

strument cluster display, make sure the outer
surface and the underside of the rear fascia/
bumper are clean and clear of snow, ice, mud,
dirt or other obstruction. Then, cycle the
ignition. If the message continues to appear,
see an authorized dealer.
If “SERVICE PARK ASSIST” or “SERVICE PARK
A S

SIST SYSTEM” appears in the instrument
cluster display, see an 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
P
RECAUTIONS
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 instrument
cluster display will read “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 gear selector to the
REVERSE position and ParkSense is turned
off, the instrument cluster display will show
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 prop -erly. The ParkSense system might not detect
a
n

obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the fascia/bumper.
Ensure the ParkSense system is off if objects
such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc.,
are placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the
r e

ar fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close
object as a sensor problem, causing the
“SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message
to appear in the instrument cluster display.
WARNING!

Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using ParkSense. Always check
carefully behind your vehicle, look behind
you, and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, 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.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 259
(Continued)
DO NOT USE E-85 IN NON-FLEX FUEL
V
EHICLES
Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV) are compatible
with gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol
(E-15). Use of gasoline with higher ethanol
content may void the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with
E-

85 fuel, the engine will have some or all of
these symptoms:
Operate in a lean mode.
OBD II Malfunction Indicator Light on.
Poor engine performance.
Poor cold start and cold driveability.
Increased risk for fuel system component
corrosion.
CNG AND LP FUEL SYSTEM
M
ODIFICATIONS
Modifications that allow the engine to run on
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquid
Propane (LP) may result in damage to the
engine, emissions, and fuel system
components. Problems that result from running
CNG or LP are not the responsibility of the
manufacturer and may void or not be covered
under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
MMT IN GASOLINE
Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl
(MMT) is a manganese-containing metallic
additive that is blended into some gasoline to
increase octane. Gasoline blended with MMT
provides no performance advantage beyond
gasoline of the same octane number without
MMT. Gasoline blended with MMT reduces
spark plug life and reduces emissions system
performance in some vehicles. The
manufacturer recommends that gasoline
without MMT be used in your vehicle. The MMT content of gasoline may not be indicated on the
gasoline pump; therefore, you should ask your
gasoline retailer whether the gasoline contains
MMT. MMT is prohibited in Federal and
California reformulated gasoline.
FUEL SYSTEM CAUTIONS
CAUTION!

Follow these guidelines to maintain your
vehicle’s performance:
The use of leaded gasoline is prohibited by
Federal law. Using leaded gasoline can
impair engine performance and damage
the emissions control system.
An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or igni -
tion malfunctions can cause the catalytic
c o

nverter to overheat. If you notice a
pungent burning odor or some light smoke,
your engine may be out of tune or malfunc -
tioning and may require immediate service.
C o

ntact an authorized dealer for service
assistance.

For each feature explanation in this section, only
the compound command form of the voice
command is given. You can also break the
commands into parts and say each part of the
command when you are asked for it. For
example, you can use the compound command
form voice command “Search for John Smith,” or
you can break the compound command form into
two voice commands: “Search Contact” and
when asked “John Smith.” Please remember, the
Uconnect Phone works best when you talk in a
normal conversational tone, as if speaking to
someone sitting a few feet/meters away from
you.

Natural Speech
Your Uconnect Phone Voice system uses a
Na
tural Language Voice Recognition (VR)
engine.

Natural speech allows the user to speak
c o

mmands in phrases or complete sentences.
The system filters out certain non-word
utterances and sounds such as “ah” and “eh”.
The system handles fill-in words such as “I would
like to.”
The system handles multiple inputs in the same
p
h

rase or sentence such as “make a phone
call” and “to Kelly Smith.” For multiple inputs in
the same phrase or sentence, the system
identifies the topic or context and provides the
associated follow-up prompt such as “Who do
you want to call?” in the case where a phone
call was requested but the specific name was
not recognized.
The system utilizes continuous dialog; when the
s y

stem requires more information from the user
it will ask a question to which the user can
respond without pushing the Voice Command
button on your steering wheel.
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you
w a

nt to know your options at any prompt, say
“Help” following the beep.
To activate the Uconnect Phone from idle,
s i

mply push the Phone button (if active) on
your steering wheel and say a command or say
“ h

elp”. All Uconnect Phone sessions begin with
a push of the VR button or the Phone button
(if active) on the radio control head. Cancel Command
At any prompt, after the beep, you can say
“
C

ancel” and you will be returned to the main
menu.
You can also push the Voice Recognition (VR)
b u

tton or Phone button (if active) on your
steering wheel when the system is listening for
a

command and be returned to the main or
previous menu.
Pair (Link) Uconnect Phone To A Mobile Phone
To begin using your Uconnect Phone, you must
p a

ir your compatible Bluetooth® enabled
mobile phone.
To complete the pairing process, you will need
t o

reference your mobile phone Owner's
Manual. The Uconnect website may also
provide detailed instructions for pairing.
NOTE:
You must have Bluetooth® enabled on your
phone to complete this procedure.
The vehicle must be in PARK.
