STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
•
The driver can disable the automatic braking func-
tion by turning ParkSense off via the ParkSense
switch. The driver can also override automatic brak-
ing by changing the gear or by pressing the gas
pedal over 90% of its capacity during the braking
event.
•
Automatic emergency braking is not available if the
vehicle is in 4WD Low.
•
Automatic emergency braking will not be available if
there is a faulted condition detected with the
ParkSense Park Assist system or the Braking Sys-
tem Module.
•
The automatic emergency braking function may only
be applied if the vehicle deceleration is not enough
to avoid colliding with a detected obstacle.
•
The automatic emergency braking function may not
be applied fast enough for obstacles that move
toward the rear of the vehicle from the left and/or
right sides.
•
The automatic emergency braking function can be
enabled/disabled from the Customer Programmable
Features section of the Uconnect system.
•
ParkSense will retain its last known configuration
state for the automatic emergency braking function
through ignition cycles.
The rear automatic emergency braking function is
intended to assist the driver in avoiding possible colli-
sions with detected obstacles when backing up in
REVERSE gear.
NOTE:
•
The rear automatic emergency braking system is for
emergency braking to avoid an imminent collision. It
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 the
vehicle's movements.
For limitations of this system and recommendations,
see
page 116.
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 can be active only when the gear selector is
in REVERSE or DRIVE. If ParkSense is enabled at one of
these gear selector positions, the system will remain
active until the vehicle speed is increased to approxi-
mately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. The system will
become active again if the vehicle speed is decreased
to less than approximately 6 mph (9 km/h). A display
warning will appear in the instrument cluster display if
the vehicle is in REVERSE and the speed exceeds
7 mph (11 km/h).
PARKSENSE SENSORS
Six ParkSense sensors located in the front fascia/
bumper (if equipped) and six ParkSense sensors (four
when vehicle is not equipped with front sensors)
located in the rear 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
approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches
(120 cm) from the front fascia/bumper. The rear sen-
sors can detect obstacles from approximately 12 inches
(30 cm) up to 79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper. These distances depend on the location, type
and orientation of the obstacle in the horizontal
direction.
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 and an obstacle has been detected.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by showing
a single arc in the left and/or right front or rear regions
based on the object's distance and location relative to
the vehicle.
If an object is detected in the left and/or right rear
region, the display will show a single arc in the left
and/or right rear region and the system will produce a
tone. As the vehicle moves closer to the object, the dis-
play will show the single arc moving closer to the
vehicle and the tone will change from a single 1/2 sec-
ond tone to slow, to fast, to continuous.
