Parksense Active Park Assist System - RAM 1500 2019 User Manual

CAUTION!
ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is

unable to recognize every obstacle,
including small obstacles. Parking curbs
might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above
or below the sensors will not be detected
when they are in close proximity.
The vehicle must be driven slowly when

using ParkSense in order to be able to
stop in time when an obstacle is
detected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using ParkSense.
PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
intended to assist the driver during parallel
and perpendicular parking maneuvers by
identifying a proper parking space, providing
audible/visual instructions, and controlling
the steering wheel. The ParkSense Active
Park Assist system is defined as "semi-auto-
matic" since the driver maintains control of
the accelerator, gear selector and brakes.
Depending on the driver's parking maneuver
selection, the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system is capable of maneuvering a vehicle
into a parallel or a perpendicular parking
space on either side (i.e., driver side or
passenger side).
NOTE:
The driver is always responsible for

controlling the vehicle, responsible for any
surrounding objects, and must intervene
as required.
The system is provided to assist the driver

and not to substitute the driver.
During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the

driver touches the steering wheel after
being instructed to remove their hands
from the steering wheel, the system will
cancel, and the driver will be required to
manually complete the parking maneuver.
The system may not work in all conditions

(e.g. environmental conditions such as
heavy rain, snow, etc., or if searching for a
parking space that has surfaces that will
absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
New vehicles from the dealership must

have at least 30 miles (48 km) accumu-
lated before the ParkSense Active Park
Assist system is fully calibrated and
performs accurately. This is due to the
system's dynamic vehicle calibration to
improve the performance of the feature.
The system will also continuously perform
the dynamic vehicle calibration to account
for differences such as over or under
inflated tires and new tires.
Enabling And Disabling The ParkSense Active
Park Assist System
The ParkSense Active Park Assist
system can be enabled
disabled with the ParkSense Active
Park Assist switch, located on the
