Parksense Front/Rear Park Assist System; If Equipped; Parksense Sensors; Parksense Warning Display - Dodge HORNET 2024 Owner's Manual

122 STARTING AND OPERATING
The Active Driving Assist system may have limited or
reduced functionality when one of the following condi-
tions occur:
•
The vehicle's radar sensors and/or forward facing
camera is damaged, covered, misaligned, or
obstructed (e.g. by mud, ice, snow, etc.)
•
If the suspension alignment is not correct, if the
vehicle is modified (e.g. lifting or lowering the sus-
pension, installing different sized wheels or tires)
•
Driving near highway toll booths
NOTE:
If damage to the windshield occurs, have the wind-
shield replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides visual and
audible indications of the distance between the rear,
and if equipped, the front fascia/bumper and a
detected obstacle when backing up or moving forward
(e.g. during a parking maneuver).
NOTE:
•
The system is designed to assist the driver and not
to substitute the driver.
•
The driver must stay in full control of the vehicle's
acceleration and braking and is responsible for con-
trolling the vehicle's movements
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 is active in DRIVE or REVERSE, as long as
the system is on. The system will remain active until the
vehicle speed is increased to approximately 8 mph
(13 km/h) or above while in DRIVE or NEUTRAL, and
7 mph (11 km/h) or above while in REVERSE. While in
REVERSE and above the system's operating speed, a
warning will appear in the radio touchscreen indicating
the vehicle speed is too fast. The system will become
active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to less
than approximately 6 mph (9 km/h).

PARKSENSE SENSORS

The six ParkSense sensors (four when vehicle is not
equipped with front sensors), located in the rear fascia/
bumper, and the six ParkSense sensors located in the
front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front and
behind the vehicle that is within the sensors' field of
view. The front sensors detect obstacles from approxi-
mately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 35 inches (90 cm) from
the front fascia/bumper. The rear sensors can detect
obstacles from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to
59 inches (150 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper.
These distances depend on the location, type and ori-
entation of the obstacle in the horizontal direction.

PARKSENSE WARNING DISPLAY

The ParkSense Warning screen will only be displayed if
the settings are selected within the Uconnect system

The ParkSense Warning screen is located within the
radio touchscreen, and provides visual warnings to indi-

cate the distance between the rear fascia/bumper
and/or front fascia/bumper and the detected obstacle.

PARKSENSE DISPLAY

The warning display will turn on indicating the system
status when the vehicle is in REVERSE, or when the
vehicle is in DRIVE or NEUTRAL and an obstacle has
been detected.
The system will determine if an obstacle is in course of
collision with the vehicle and will provide a visual
warning to the driver. The system will indicate a
detected obstacle by showing an arc in the left and/or
right front or rear regions based on the object's dis-
tance and location relative to the vehicle. The color of
the arc depends on the distance and position of the
obstacle inside or outside the trajectory.
If the system detects an obstacle outside of the
vehicles trajectory then it will display in grey. When the
obstacle detected is on course of a collision the system
will turn yellow then red. If the obstacle detected is less
than 12 inches (30 cm) then a continuous tone will
sound and the corresponding red arc will be displayed.
Front Park Assist Audible Alerts
When an obstacle in course of a collision gets closer to
the vehicle the tone frequency smoothly increases. The
audible alert will remain on until one of the following
conditions occurs:
•
The vehicle is at a standstill and the gear selector is
moved out of the REVERSE position.
•
When the obstacle detected is outside of the vehicle
path.
ParkSense will turn off the Front Park Assist audible alert
(chime) after approximately three seconds when an
obstacle has been detected, or if the vehicle is stationary.
NOTE:
ParkSense will reduce the volume of the radio, if on,
when the system is sounding an audible tone.
