audio Ram ProMaster City 2017 Owner's Manual

While audible signals are emitted, the audio system is not
muted.
The audible signal is turned off immediately if the distance
increases. The tone cycle remains constant if the distance
measured by the inner sensors is constant. If this condition
occurs for the external sensors, the signal is turned off after
three seconds (stopping warnings during maneuvers par-
allel to walls).
ParkSense Rear Park Assist Failure Indications
A malfunction of the Park Assist sensors or system is
indicated, during REVERSE gear engagement, by the in-
strument panel warning icon.The warning icon is illuminated and a message is
displayed on the multifunction display (if
equipped). Refer to “Instrument Cluster Descrip-
tions” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
The sensors and wiring are tested continuously when the
ignition is in the ON/RUN position. Failures are indicated
immediately if they occur when the system is ON.
Even if the system is able to identify that a specific sensor
is in failure condition, the Instrument Cluster Display shall
indicate that the Park Assist system is unavailable, without reference to the sensor in failure condition. If even a single
sensor fails, the entire system must be disabled. The system
is turned off automatically.
Cleaning The ParkSense Rear Park Assist System
Clean the Park Assist 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.

(13 km/h), the transmission is in PARK position or the
ignition key is in the OFF position.
The display of the camera image can be enabled or
disabled through the rear camera setting menu item (Cam-
era ON/OFF).
When displayed, static grid lines will illustrate the width of
the vehicle and will show separate zones that will help
indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle. The follow-
ing table shows the approximate distances for each zone:
