WARNING!
to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before backing up.
You are responsible for safety and must continue
to pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or death.
●
Before using ParkSense, it is strongly
recommended that the ball mount and hitch ball
assembly be disconnected from the vehicle when
the vehicle is not used for towing. Failure to do
so can result in injury or damage to vehicles or
obstacles because the hitch ball will be much
closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia/bumper
when the vehicle sounds the continuous tone.
Also, the sensors could detect the ball mount
and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size
and shape, and give a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the vehicle, and could cause
false braking.
CAUTION!
●
ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, including small
obstacles. Parking curbs might 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 ACTIVE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
— IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is intended
to assist the driver during parallel and perpendicular
parking maneuvers. The system works by identifying
a proper parking space, providing audible/visual
instructions, and controlling the steering wheel only,
or the accelerator, gear selector, brakes, and the
steering wheel (if equipped with the Fully Automated
system). Depending on the driver's parking maneuver
selection, the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
capable of maneuvering a vehicle into a parallel or a
perpendicular parking space on either side (i.e., driver
side or passenger side).
Two types of ParkSense Active Park Assist systems are
available:
●
Semi-Automatic ParkSense Active Park Assist
●
ParkSense Automated Parking system
Semi-Automatic ParkSense Active Park Assist — If
Equipped
The Semi-Automatic system detects a vacant parking
spot between two parked vehicles, and controls the
steering wheel only. The driver maintains control of the
accelerator, gear selector and brakes.
ParkSense Automated Parking — If Equipped
The Fully Automated system detects a vacant parking
spot between two consecutive parking lines, and
controls the accelerator, gear selector, brakes, and
steering wheel. In this mode, the system also provides
obstacle detection by providing visual and audible
warnings and automatic braking to avoid a collision.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Fully Automated
system, you can switch between Semi-Automatic and
Fully Automated mode in the Uconnect Settings
.
NOTE:
●
The driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle, responsible for any surrounding objects, and
must intervene as required.
●
The system is designed to assist the driver and not to
substitute the driver.
●
During a Semi-Automatic or Fully Automated
maneuver, if the driver touches the steering wheel
after being instructed to remove their hands from the
steering wheel, the system will cancel, and the driver
will be required to manually complete the parking
maneuver.
●
The system may not work in all conditions (e.g.
environmental conditions such as heavy rain, snow,
etc., or if searching for a parking space that has
surfaces that will absorb the ultrasonic sensor
waves).
●
New vehicles from an authorized dealership must
have at least 30 miles (48 km) accumulated before
the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is fully
calibrated and performs accurately. This is due to
the system’s dynamic vehicle calibration to improve
the performance of the feature. The system will also
continuously perform the dynamic vehicle calibration
to account for differences such as over or under
inflated tires and new tires.
