WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle
could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose
control and have an accident. Do not use Electronic
Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
PARKSENSE REAR PARK ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Rear Park Assist system provides visual and
audible indications of the distance between the rear fascia
and a detected obstacle when backing up, e.g. during a
parking maneuver. Refer to “ParkSense System Usage
Precautions” in this section 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. If ParkSense is enabled at this gear selector
position, the system will remain active until the vehicle
speed is increased to approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or
above. The system 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 direc-
tion, depending on the location, type and orientation of the
obstacle.
ParkSense Warning Display
The ParkSense Warning screen will only be displayed if
Sound and Display is selected from the Customer-
Programmable Features section of the Instrument Cluster
Display. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display/Personal
Settings (Customer- Programmable Features)” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

The ParkSense Warning Display is located in the Instru-
ment Cluster Display. It provides both visual and audible
warnings to indicate the distance between the rear fascia/
bumper and the detected obstacle.ParkSense Display
When the vehicle is in REVERSE, the warning display will
turn ON indicating the system status.

The system will indicate a detected obstacle by showing
three solid arcs and will produce a one-half second tone. As
the vehicle moves closer to the object the Instrument
Cluster Display will show fewer arcs and the sound tone
will change from slow, to fast, to continuous.

Enabling/Disabling ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled through the
Customer-Programmable Features section of the Instru-
ment Cluster Display. The available choices are: OFF,
Sound Only, or Sound and Display. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display/Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in “Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information.
When ParkSense is disabled, the instrument cluster will
display the “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” message for
approximately five seconds. Refer to “Instrument Cluster
Display” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for
further information. When the gear selector is moved to
REVERSE and the system is disabled, the Instrument
3
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 189

Cluster Display will display the “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
OFF” message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
Service The ParkSense Rear Park Assist System
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense Rear Park
Assist System has detected a faulted condition, the instru-
ment cluster will actuate a single chime, once per ignition
cycle, and it will display the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM” message. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display”
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information. When the gear selector is moved to REVERSE
and the system has detected a faulted condition, the
Instrument Cluster Display will display the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message for as long as the vehicle
is in REVERSE. Under this condition, ParkSense will not
operate.
If “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” appears in the In-
strument Cluster Display after making sure the rear fascia/
bumper is free from snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris, see
your Authorized Dealer.
Cleaning The ParkSense System
Clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car wash soap and
a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not scratch
or poke the sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the
sensors.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
•Ensure that the rear bumper is 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 ParkSense OFF, the instrument cluster
will display “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF.” Further-
more, once you turn ParkSense off, it remains off until
you turn it on again, even if you cycle the ignition key.
• When you move the gear selector to the REVERSE
position and ParkSense is turned OFF, the Instrument
Cluster Display will display “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
OFF” message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
• ParkSense, when on, will reduce the radio volume when
it is sounding a tone.
190 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

•Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, taking care not to
scratch or damage them. The sensors must not be
covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris.
Failure to do so can result in the system not working
properly. The ParkSense system might not detect an
obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it could provide a
false indication that an obstacle is behind the fascia/
bumper.
• Ensure the ParkSense system is OFF if objects such as
bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc. are placed within 12
inches (30 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper. Failure to
do so can result in the system misinterpreting a close
object as a sensor problem, causing the “SERVICE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM” message to be displayed in the Instru-
ment Cluster Display.
WARNING!
•Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using ParkSense. Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions,
and blind spots before backing up. You are respon-
sible for safety and must continue to pay attention to
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
• Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recommended
that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly is
disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is
not used for towing. Failure to do so can result in
injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles because the
hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than the
rear fascia when the loudspeaker sounds the con-
tinuous tone. Also, the sensors could detect the ball
mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size
and shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle
is behind the vehicle.
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.
(Continued)

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 191

CAUTION!(Continued)
•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.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA — IF
EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the ParkView Rear
Back Up Camera that allows you to see an on-screen image
of the rear surroundings of your vehicle whenever the gear
selector is put into REVERSE. The image will be displayed
on the touchscreen along with a caution note to “check
entire surroundings” across the top of the screen. After five
seconds this note will disappear. The ParkView camera is
located on the rear of the vehicle above the rear license
plate. When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE, the rear
camera mode is exited and the last selected touchscreen
appears again.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Camera Delay feature
and it is turned On, the rear camera image will be
displayed for up to 10 seconds when the vehicle is shifted
out of REVERSE unless the forward vehicle speed exceeds
8 mph (13 km/h), the transmission is shifted into
PARK
or the vehicles ignition is cycled to the OFF position.
NOTE: The programmable features of the Parkview Rear
Backup Camera can be selected through the touchscreen.
Refer to your “Uconnect Supplement Manual” for further
information.
When displayed, static grid lines will illustrate the width of
the vehicle while a dashed center-line will indicate the center
of the vehicle to assist with aligning to a hitch/receiver. The
static grid lines will show separate zones that will help
indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle. The following
table shows the approximate distances for each zone:
Zone Distance to the rear of the vehicle
Red 0 - 1 ft (0 - 30 cm)
Yellow 1 ft - 3 ft (30 cm - 1 m)
