Page: 138 / 360

NOTE:
ParkSense will reduce the volume of the radio, if on,
when the system is sounding an audio tone.
ParkSense Camera Activation
If the ParkSense system detects an obstacle, a camera
image will display in the radio. The camera will continue
to display as long as the ParkSense system continues
to detect an object. This can be turned on or off in the
Uconnect system
page 165.
Front Park Assist Audible Alerts
ParkSense will turn off the Front Park Assist audible
alert (chime) after approximately three seconds when
an obstacle has been detected, the vehicle is station-
ary, and brake pedal is applied.
Adjustable Chime Volume Settings
The Front and Rear chime volume settings are program-
mable through the Uconnect system
page 165.
ENABLING AND DISABLING
PARKSENSE
Front ParkSense can be enabled and dis-
abled with the Front ParkSense switch.
Rear ParkSense can be enabled and dis-
abled with the Rear ParkSense switch.
When the gear selector is moved to REVERSE and the
Front or Rear system is disabled, the instrument cluster
display will show a vehicle graphic with an “Off” mes-
sage overlay over the system that is off (Front or Rear
system). This vehicle graphic will be displayed for as
long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
The Front or Rear ParkSense switch LED will be on
when Front or Rear ParkSense is disabled or requires
service. The Front or Rear ParkSense switch LED will be
off when the Front or Rear system is enabled. If the
Front or Rear ParkSense switch is pushed, and the sys-
tem requires service, the Front or Rear ParkSense
switch LED will blink momentarily, and then the LED will
be on.
SERVICE THE PARKSENSE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM
During vehicle start-up, when the Front/Rear
ParkSense System has detected a faulted condition,
the instrument cluster display will show the "Front/Rear
ParkSense Unavailable Service Required" or the "Front/
Rear ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Sensors" message.
When the gear selector is moved into REVERSE, a
vehicle graphic will show in the instrument cluster dis-
play, along with the display overlay “Wipe Sensors.” If
the system needs service, the display overlay will read
“Service.” Under this condition, ParkSense will not
operate.
If "Front/Rear ParkSense Unavailable Wipe Sensors"
appears in the instrument cluster display make sure
the outer surface and the underside of the rear fascia/
bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or
other obstructions, and then cycle the ignition. If the
message continues to appear, see an authorized
dealer.
If "Front/Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service Required"
appears in the instrument cluster display, see an autho-
rized dealer.
CLEANING THE PARKSENSE
SYSTEM
Clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car wash soap
and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do
not scratch or poke the sensors. Otherwise, you could
damage the sensors.
PARKSENSE SYSTEM USAGE
PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
•
Ensure that the front and rear bumpers are free of
snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the
ParkSense system operating properly.
•
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations
could affect the performance of ParkSense.
•
When you move the gear selector to the REVERSE
position and Front or Rear ParkSense is turned off,
the instrument cluster display will show "Off" on the
vehicle graphic arcs. This vehicle graphic will be dis-
played for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
•
ParkSense, when on, will reduce the volume of the
radio when it is sounding a tone.
•
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 or in front of the fascia/
bumper, or it could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind or in front of the fascia/bumper.
•
Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense
system off if obstacles such as bicycle carriers,
trailer hitches, etc. are placed within 18 inches
(45 cm) of the rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so
can result in the system misinterpreting a close
obstacle as a sensor problem, causing the “Front/
Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service Required” mes-
sage to appear in the instrument cluster display.
