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 Driver
Information Display (DID) indicating the vehicle
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.
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 DID. It provides visual warnings to
indicate the distance between the rear fascia/
bumper and the detected obstacle. Refer to
“Driver Information Display (DID)” for further
information.
ParkSense® Display
When the vehicle is in REVERSE, the DID will
display the park assist ready system status.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by
showing a single arc in the left and/or right rear
regions based on the obstacle’s distance and
location relative to the vehicle.
