PARKSENSE REAR PARK ASSIST 
A
LERTS
If an obstacle is behind the vehicle when REVERSE gear is engaged, an audible alert is activated.
The tones emitted by the loudspeaker inform the driver that the vehicle is approaching an obstacle. The pauses between the tones are directly proportional to 
the distance from the obstacle. Pulses emitted in quick succession indicate the presence of a very close obstacle. A continuous tone indicates that the obstacle 
is less than 12 inches (30 cm) away.
While audible signals are emitted, the audio system is 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 parallel to walls).

PARKSENSE REAR PARK ASSIST 
F
AILURE INDICATIONS
A malfunction of the ParkSense sensors 
or system is indicated, during REVERSE 
gear engagement, by the instrument 
panel warning icon.
The warning icon is illuminated and a message is 
displayed on the instrument cluster display (if 
equipped)  Ú page 44.
The sensors and wiring are tested continuously 
when the ignition is in the MAR (ACC/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 ParkSense 
system is unavailable, without reference to the 
sensor in failure condition. If even a single sensor 
fails, the entire system will be disabled. The system 
is turned off automatically.
CLEANING THE PARKSENSE REAR PARK 
A
SSIST SYSTEM
Clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car wash 
soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard 
cloths. In washing stations, clean sensors quickly 
while 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.

YSTEM USAGE PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
Ensure that the outer surface and the underside 
of the rear fascia/bumper is clean and clear of 
snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction to keep 
the ParkSense Rear Park Assist system oper -
ating properly.
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibra -
tions could affect the performance of the 
ParkSense system.
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 properly. The ParkSense 
system might not detect an obstacle behind the 
fascia/bumper, or it could provide a false indica -
tion that an obstacle is behind the fascia/bumper.
Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not 
be placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the 
rear fascia/bumper while driving the vehicle. 
Failure to do so can result in the system misin -
terpreting a close object as a sensor problem, 
causing a failure indication to be displayed 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.
Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recom -
mended that the ball mount and hitch ball 
assembly be 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 vehicle 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 
behind the vehicle.
22_VM_OM_EN_USC_t.book  Page 64   

STARTING AND OPERATING65
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 the sensor field of view. The 
filtering operation must be performed only by an 
authorized dealer.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA 
Your vehicle is 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 Rear Back Up Camera can also be activated 
when the vehicle is not in REVERSE through the 
Uconnect system  Ú
page 79.
NOTE:If one of the rear cargo doors is not completely 
closed, the Back Up Camera cannot provide an 
accurate image of the area behind the vehicle. A 
dedicated message will appear on the Uconnect 
display indicating the camera is not in the correct 
position.
The Camera Delay setting can be set to on/off in 
the rear camera settings menu. When the vehicle 
is shifted out of 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, 
and Camera Delay is activated in the menu screen, 
the camera image will continue to be displayed for 
up to 10 seconds, unless the speed of the vehicle 
is greater than 8 mph (13 km/h), the transmission 
is in PARK, or the ignition is placed in the STOP 
(OFF/LOCK) position. 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 following table shows the 
approximate distances for each zone:
CAUTION!
ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is 
unable to recognize every obstacle, including 
small obstacles. Parking curbs might be 
temporarily detected or not detected 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. It is recom
-
mended that the driver looks over his/her 
shoulder when using ParkSense.
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, obstructions, or blind spots before 
backing up. You are responsible 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.
