PARKSENSE FRONT AND
REAR PARK ASSIST

ParkSense Sensors

The four 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
79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction, depend-
ing on the location, type and orientation of
the obstacle.

The six ParkSense sensors, located in the
front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front
of the vehicle that is within the sensors' field
of view. The sensors can detect obstacles
from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to
47 inches (120 cm) from the front fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction, depend-
ing on the location, type and orientation of
the obstacle.
When an object is detected within 79 inches
(200 cm) behind the rear bumper while the
vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will appear
in the instrument cluster display. In addition
a chime will sound (when Sound and Display
is selected from the Customer Programmable
Features section of the Uconnect System
screen). As the vehicle moves closer to the
object, the chime rate will change from single
1/2 second tone (for rear only), to slow (for
rear only), to fast, to continuous.

Activation/Deactivation

The ParkSense Park Assist system provides
visual and audible indications of the distance
between the rear and/or front fascia and a
detected obstacle when backing up or mov-
ing forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver.
If your vehicle is equipped with an Automatic
Transmission, the vehicle brakes may be auto-
matically applied and released when perform-
ing a reverse parking maneuver if the system
detects a possible collision with an obstacle.
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
approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above.
A display warning will appear in the instru-
ment cluster display indicating the vehicle is
above ParkSense operating speed. The sys-
tem will become active again if the vehicle
speed is decreased to speeds less than ap-
proximately 6 mph (9 km/h).

Engagement/Disengagement

To disengage the system, push the ParkSense
switch, located on the switch panel below the
Uconnect display.
When the system passes from engaged to
disengaged and vice versa, it is always ac-
companied by a dedicated message in the
instrument cluster display.
