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 12 inches (30 cm) up to 59 inches
(150 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, depending on the location, type and orientation
of the obstacle.
Chime
By shifting the vehicle in REVERSE, and in the case of the
presence of a rear obstacle, an acoustic signal that varies
with the distance of the obstacle from the bumper is
activated.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
•
Increases with the distance between car and object
decreases.
•
Becomes continuous when the distance that separates
the car from the obstacle is less than approximately 12
inches (30 cm), while terminates immediately if the
distance to the obstacle increases.
•
Remains constant if the distance between car and ob-
stacle remains unchanged. If this situation occurs for the
side sensors, the signal is stopped after approximately
three seconds to avoid, for example, it activates in case
of maneuver along a wall.
When the system emits a beeping sound, the volume of the
Uconnect system, if turned on, is automatically lowered by
Park Assist.
