Chime
By shifting the vehicle in REVERSE and in the case of the
presence of a rear obstacle, an acoustic signal that varies
with the distance of the obstacle from the bumper is
activated.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
• Increases with the distance between car and object
decreases.
• Becomes continuous when the distance that separates
the car from the obstacle is less than approximately 12
inches (30 cm), while terminates immediately if the
distance to the obstacle increases.
• Remains constant if the distance between car and
obstacle remains unchanged. If this situation occurs
for the side sensors, the signal is stopped after approxi-
mately three seconds to avoid, for example, it activates
in case of maneuver along a wall.
When the system emits a beeping sound, the volume of
the Uconnect system, if turned on, is automatically
lowered by ParkSense.
Detection Distances
If the sensors detect more obstacles, it is taken into
account only what is the shorter distance.
Instrument Cluster Display
ParkSense is displayed on the instrument cluster only if
you have selected the item sound and display inside the
Settings menu of the Uconnect system.
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.
