Page: 135 / 878

•
Automatic brakes will not be available if
there is a faulted condition detected with
the ParkSense® Park Assist system or
the Braking System Module.
•
The automatic braking function may only
be applied if the vehicle deceleration is
not enough to avoid colliding with a de-
tected obstacle.
•
The automatic braking function may not
be applied fast enough for obstacles that
move toward the rear of the vehicle from
the left and/or right sides.
•
The automatic braking function can be
enabled/disabled from the Customer-
Programmable Features section of the
Uconnect® System.
•
ParkSense® will retain its last known con-
figuration state for the automatic braking
function through ignition cycles.
The automatic braking function is intended to
assist the driver in avoiding possible collisions
with detected obstacles when backing up in
REVERSE gear.
NOTE:
•
The driver is always responsible for con-
trolling the vehicle.
•
The system is provided to assist the
driver and not to substitute the driver.
•
The driver must stay in full control of the
vehicle’s acceleration and braking and is
responsible for the vehicle’s movements.
Refer to ParkSense® System Usage Precau-
tions for limitations of this system and recom-
mendations.
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 is in REVERSE or DRIVE. If ParkSense®
is enabled at one of these shift lever positions,
the system will remain active until the vehicle
speed is increased to approximately 7 mph
(11 km/h) or above. When in REVERSE and
above the system’s operating speed, a warning
will appear in the EVIC/DID indicating the ve-
hicle speed is too fast. The system will become
active again if the vehicle speed is decreased 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.
NOTE:
If
your vehicle is equipped with the
ParkSense® Active Park Assist system, six
sensors will be located in the rear fascia/
bumper. Refer to the
ⴖ
ParkSense® Active
Park Assist System
ⴖ
section for further in-
formation.
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
approximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 47 in (120 cm)
