switch. The driver can also override automatic
braking by changing the gear or by pressing the gas
pedal over 90% of its capacity during the braking
event.
●
Automatic brakes will not be available if the vehicle
is in 4WD Low.
●
Automatic brakes will not be available if there is a
fault in the brake module.
●
Automatic brakes will not be available if there is a
faulted condition detected with the ParkSense Park
Assist system or the Braking System.
●
The automatic braking function may only be applied
if the vehicle deceleration is not enough to avoid
colliding with a detected obstacle.
●
The automatic braking function may not be applied
fast enough for obstacles that move toward the rear
of the vehicle from the left and/or right sides.
●
The automatic braking function can be enabled/
disabled from the Customer Programmable Features
section of the Uconnect system.
●
ParkSense will retain its last known configuration
state for the automatic braking function through
ignition cycles.
●
Trailer hitch ball assembly may cause false braking
events if left attached after towing.
The automatic braking function is intended to assist
the driver in avoiding possible collisions with detected
obstacles when backing up in REVERSE gear.
NOTE:
●
The system is designed to assist the driver and not to
substitute the driver.
●
The driver must stay in full control of the vehicle's
acceleration and braking and is responsible for the
vehicle's movements.
For limitations of this system and usage precautions,

ParkSense will retain the last system state (enabled or
disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN position.
ParkSense can be active only when the gear selector
is in REVERSE or DRIVE. If ParkSense is enabled while
in one of these gears, the system will remain active
until the vehicle speed is increased to approximately
7 mph (11 km/h) or above. A warning will appear in
the instrument cluster display indicating the vehicle
speed is above ParkSense operating speed while in
REVERSE. The system will become active again if the
vehicle speed is decreased to less than approximately 6
mph (9 km/h).

ARK ENSE ENSORS
The four ParkSense sensors (six if equipped with Active
Parksense), located in the front fascia/bumper, monitor
the area in front of the vehicle that is within the
sensors' field of view, and 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 front sensors can detect obstacles from
approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches (120
cm) from the front fascia/bumper. The rear sensors can
detect obstacles from approximately 12 inches (30 cm)
up to 79 inches (200 cm). These distances depend on
the location, type and orientation of the obstacle in the
horizontal direction.

ARK ENSE ISPLAY
The warning display will turn on indicating the system
status when the vehicle is in REVERSE or when the
vehicle is in DRIVE and an obstacle has been detected.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by showing
a single arc in the left, right, or center regions based
on the obstacle's distance and location relative to the
vehicle.
If an obstacle is detected in the center front region, the
display will show a single solid arc in the center front
region with no chime. As the vehicle moves closer to
the obstacle, the display will show the single arc moving
closer to the vehicle and a fast chime will be heard and
will change from fast to continuous.
If an obstacle is detected in the left and/or right front
region, the display will show a single flashing arc in
the left and/or right front region and will produce a
fast chime. As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle,
the display will show the single arc moving closer to
the vehicle and the tone will change from fast to
continuous.
