CAUTION!
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
recommended that the driver looks over
his/her shoulder when using ParkSense.
PARKSENSE FRONT AND REAR
PARK ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides vi-
sual and audible indications of the distance
between the rear and/or front fascia and a de-
tected obstacle when backing up or moving
forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver. If your
vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmis-
sion, the vehicle brakes may be automatically
applied and released when performing a reverse
parking maneuver if the system detects a pos-
sible collision with an obstacle.
Refer to “ParkSense System Usage Precau-
tions” in “Starting And Operating” in your Own-
er’s Manual for limitations of this system and
recommendations.
ParkSense will retain the last system state (en-
abled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle
when the ignition is changed to the ON/RUN
position.
ParkSense Sensors
The four ParkSense sensors, located in the rear
fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind the ve-
hicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. The
sensors can detect obstacles from approxi-
mately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 79 inches
(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 approxi-
mately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches
(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 79 inches
(200 cm) behind the rear bumper while the
vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will appear in
the instrument cluster display. In addition a
chime will sound (when Sound and Display is
selected from the Customer Programmable Fea-
tures 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.
Enabling And Disabling ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with
the ParkSense switch.
When the ParkSense switch is
pushed to disable the system, the
instrument cluster will display the
“PARKSENSE OFF” message for ap-
proximately five seconds. When the gear selec-
tor is moved to REVERSE and the system is
disabled, the instrument cluster display will
display the “PARKSENSE OFF” message for as
long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
