OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
• When enabled the system operates above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph
(180 km/h).
• Use of the turn signal suppresses the warnings.
• The system will not apply torque to the steering wheel whenever a safety system
engages. (anti-lock brakes, traction control system, electronic stability control,
forward collision warning, etc.).
REAR PARKSENSE
The Rear ParkSense system provides visual and audible indications of the distance
between the rear fascia and a detected obstacle when backing up, e.g. during a
parking maneuver.
Rear ParkSense will retain the last system state (enabled or disabled) from the last
ignition cycle when the ignition is changed to the MAR/RUN position.
Rear ParkSense can be active only when the shift lever is in REVERSE.
Rear ParkSense Sensors
The four Rear 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 approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 59 inches (150 cm) from the
rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
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 Rear ParkSense.
