PARKSENSE® REAR PARK
ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist system pro-
vides visual and audible indications of the dis-
tance between the rear fascia and a detected
obstacle when backing up, e.g. during a parking
maneuver. Refer to ParkSense® System Usage
Precautions for limitations of this system and
recommendations.
ParkSense® will retain the last system state
(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle
when the ignition is changed to the ON/RUN
position.
ParkSense® can be active only when the shift
lever/gear
selector is in REVERSE. If
ParkSense® is enabled at this shift lever/gear
selector position, the system will remain active
until the vehicle speed is increased to approxi-
mately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. When in
REVERSE and above the system’s operating
speed, a warning will appear within the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or
Driver Information Display (DID) indicating the
vehicle speed is too fast. The system will be-
come active again if the vehicle speed is de-
creased to speeds less than approximately
6 mph (9 km/h).
ParkSense® Sensors
The four ParkSense® 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 approxi-
mately 12 in (30 cm) up to 79 in (200 cm) from
the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal direc-
tion, depending on the location, type and orien-
tation of the obstacle.
ParkSense® Warning Display
The ParkSense® Warning screen will only be
displayed if Sound and Display is selected from
the Customer - Programmable Features section
of the Uconnect® System. Refer to
" Uconnect®
Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
The ParkSense® Warning screen is located
within the EVIC/DID. It provides visual warnings
to indicate the distance between the rear fascia/
bumper and the detected obstacle. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
or Driver Information Display (DID)” for further
information.
ParkSense® Display
When the vehicle is in REVERSE, the EVIC/
DID will display the park assist ready system
status.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by
showing a single arc in one or more regions
based on the obstacle’s distance and location
relative to the vehicle.
If an obstacle is detected in the center rear
region, the display will show a single solid arc in
the center rear region and will produce a one-
half second tone. As the vehicle moves closer to
the obstacle, the display will show the single arc
moving closer to the vehicle and the sound tone
will change from slow, to fast, to continuous.
