276 STARTING AND OPERATING
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
• Increases with the distance between vehicle and object
decreases.
• Becomes continuous when the distance that separates
the vehicle 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 vehicle 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.
Detection Distances
If the sensors detect more obstacles, it is taken into account
only what is the shorter distance.
Instrument Cluster Display
Rear ParkSense is displayed on the instrument cluster only
if you have selected the item Beep 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.
If an obstacle is detected in the left and/or right rear
region, the display will show a single flashing arc in the left
and/or right rear region and will produce a fast sound
tone. As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the
display will show the single arc moving closer to the
vehicle and the tone will change from fast to continuous.
In general, the vehicle is closest to the obstacle when the
display shows only a flashing arc and the chime becomes
continuous.
The color on the display depends on the distance and
location of the obstacle.
Enabling And Disabling Rear ParkSense
Rear ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with the Rear
ParkSense switch.
When the Rear ParkSense switch is pushed to
disable the system, the instrument cluster dis-
play will show a message such as "PARKSENSE
