PARKSENSE FRONT AND
REAR PARK ASSIST —
IF EQUIPPED
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 moving forward, e.g. during a
parking maneuver.
Refer to "ParkSense System Usage Precautions" in
"Starting And Operating" in your Owner's Manual
for limitations of this system and recommendations.
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
approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. The sys-
tem will become active again if the vehicle speed is
decreased to speeds less than approximately 6 mph
(9 km/h).

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 ve-
hicle 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, de-
pending 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 instru-
ment cluster display. In addition a chime will sound
(when Sound and Display is selected from the Cus-
tomer 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.
Enabling And Disabling ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with the
ParkSense switch, located on the switch panel be-
low the Uconnect display.
When the ParkSense switch is pushed
to disable the system, the instrument
cluster will display the "PARKSENSE
OFF" message for approximately five
seconds. Refer to "Instrument Cluster Display" in
"Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel" in your
Owner's Manual for further information. 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
momentarily, and then the LED will be on.
