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 "Multimedia" in the
Owner's Manual for further information.
The ParkSense Warning screen is located
within the instrument cluster display. It pro-
vides visual warnings to indicate the distance
between the rear fascia/bumper and the de-
tected obstacle. Refer to "Instrument Cluster
Display" in "Getting To Know Your Instru-
ment Panel" in the Owner's Manual for fur-
ther information.

Enabling And Disabling ParkSense

ParkSense can be enabled and dis-
abled with the ParkSense switch,
located on the switch panel below
the Uconnect display.
When the ParkSense switch is pushed to
disable the system, the instrument cluster
display will show the "PARKSENSE OFF"
message for approximately five seconds. Re-
fer to "Instrument Cluster Display" in "Get-
ting To Know Your Instrument Panel" in your
Owner's Manual for further details. When the
gear selector is moved to REVERSE and the
system is disabled, the instrument cluster
display will show the "PARKSENSE OFF"
message for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE.
The ParkSense switch LED will be on when
ParkSense is disabled or requires service.
The ParkSense switch LED will be off when
the system is enabled. If the ParkSense
switch is pushed, and requires service, the
ParkSense switch LED will blink momen-
tarily, and then the LED will be on.

ParkSense System Usage Precautions

• Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow,
ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the
ParkSense system operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vi-
brations could affect the performance of
ParkSense.
• When you turn ParkSense OFF, the instru-
ment cluster display will read "PARKSENSE
OFF." Furthermore, once you turn ParkSense
OFF, it remains off until you turn it on again,
even if you cycle the ignition.
• ParkSense, when on, will reduce the vol-
ume of the radio when it is sounding a tone.
• Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, tak-
ing care not to scratch or damage them. The
sensors must not be covered with ice, snow,
slush, mud, dirt or debris. Failure to do so
can result in the system not working prop-
erly. The ParkSense system might not de-
tect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper,
or it could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the fascia/bumper.
• Use the ParkSense switch to turn the
ParkSense system OFF if objects such as
bicycle carriers, etc. are attached to the
rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close
object as a sensor problem, causing the
"PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED" message to be displayed in
the instrument cluster display.
