Front Park Assist Audible Alerts
ParkSense will turn off the Front Park Assist audible
alert (chime) after approximately three seconds when
an obstacle has been detected, the vehicle is station-
ary, and the brake pedal is applied.
Adjustable Chime Volume Settings
The Front and Rear chime volume settings are
programmable.
The settings may be programmed through the Uconnect
system
page 166.
The chime volume settings include low, medium, and
high. The factory default volume setting is medium.
ParkSense will retain its last known configuration state
through ignition cycles.
ENABLING AND DISABLING
PARKSENSE
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled
with the ParkSense switch.
When the ParkSense switch is pushed to
disable the system, the instrument cluster
display will show the "PARKSENSE OFF" message for
approximately five seconds.
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 the system requires
service, the ParkSense switch LED will blink momentar-
ily, and then the LED will be on.
SERVICE THE PARKSENSE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense system has
detected a faulted condition, the instrument cluster will
actuate a single chime, once per ignition cycle, and it will
display the "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SEN-
SORS", "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE FRONT SEN-
SORS" or "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED" message. When the gear selector is moved
to REVERSE and the system has detected a faulted con-
dition, the instrument cluster display will display a
"PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS" or
"PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED" mes-
sage for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE. Under this
condition, ParkSense will not operate.
If "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS" or
"PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE FRONT SENSORS"
appears in the instrument cluster display make sure
the outer surface and the underside of the rear fascia/
bumper and/or front fascia/bumper is clean and clear
of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction and then
cycle the ignition. If the message continues to appear,
see an authorized dealer.
If the "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED"
message appears in the instrument cluster display, see
an authorized dealer.
STARTING AND OPERATING
CLEANING THE PARKSENSE
SYSTEM
Clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car wash soap,
and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. In
washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the
vapor jet/high pressure washing nozzles at least 4 inches
(10 cm) from the sensors. Do not scratch or poke the
sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.

PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
•
Ensure that the front and rear fascia/bumpers are
free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the
ParkSense system operating properly.
•
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations
could affect the performance of ParkSense.
•
When you turn the ParkSense system off, the instru-
ment cluster display will show a vehicle graphic of
the ParkSense on/off state for two seconds. Fur-
thermore, once you turn ParkSense off, it remains
off until you turn it on again, even if you cycle the
ignition.

position and ParkSense is turned off, the instrument
cluster display will show the "ParkSense OFF" mes-
sage. This message will be displayed for as long as
