Parking Sensors
Chime
By shifting the vehicle in REVERSE and in the case of the
presence of a rear obstacle, an acoustic signal that varies
with the distance of the obstacle from the bumper is
activated.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
• Increases with the distance between car and object
decreases.
• Becomes continuous when the distance that separates
the car from the obstacle is less than approximately
12 inches (30 cm), while terminates immediately if the
distance to the obstacle increases.
• Remains constant if the distance between car and ob-
stacle remains unchanged. If this situation occurs for the
side sensors, the signal is stopped after approximately
three seconds to avoid, for example, it activates in case
of maneuver along a wall.
When the system emits a beeping sound, the volume of the
Uconnect system, if turned on, is automatically lowered by
ParkSense.
Detection Distances
If the sensors detect more obstacles, it is taken into account
only what is the shorter distance.
Instrument Cluster Display
ParkSense is displayed on the instrument cluster only if
you have selected the item Sound And Display inside the
Settings menu of the Uconnect system.
If an obstacle is detected in the center rear region, the
display will show a single solid arc in the center rear region
and will produce a one-half second tone. As the vehicle
moves closer to the obstacle, the display will show the
