need to fasten their safety belts.
After the passenger safety belt is
buckled, the corresponding safety
belt symbol in the instrument cluster
turns green. If a safety belt is not
initially buckled, the instrument
cluster displays a gray safety belt
symbol.
While the vehicle is moving, if a
second row passenger who was
previously buckled becomes
unbuckled, the corresponding safety
belt symbol will change to flashing
red for several seconds and a chime
may sound.
Airbag Readiness Light
This light shows if there is an
electrical problem with the airbag
system. The system check includes
the airbag sensor(s), passenger
sensing system, the pretensioners,
the airbag modules, the wiring, and
the crash sensing and diagnostic
module. For more information on the

for several seconds when the
vehicle is started. If the light does
not come on then, have it fixed

{Warning
If the airbag readiness light stays
on after the vehicle is started or
comes on while driving, it means
the airbag system might not be
working properly. The airbags in
the vehicle might not inflate in a
crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid
injury, have the vehicle serviced
right away. If there is a problem with the airbag
system, a Driver Information Center
(DIC) message may also come on.

9-40 Driving and Operating
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may sometimes set
unnecessary alerts to turning
vehicles, vehicles in other lanes,
objects that are not vehicles,
or shadows. These alerts are
normal operation and the vehicle
does not need service.
Other Messages
There are messages that may
appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) in the instrument
cluster to provide information about
FCA. SeeObject Detection System
Messages on page 5-50.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to
operate properly, clean the outside
of the windshield area in front of the
camera sensor before considering
taking the vehicle in for service.
Ultrasonic Parking Assist
If available, the Ultrasonic Front and
Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA) or
Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA) system assists the driver
with parking and avoiding objects.
At speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph),
the system detects objects up to
2.5 m (8 ft) behind the vehicle, and
at least 25 cm (10 in) off the ground.
If the vehicle has the UFRPA
system, it detects objects up to
1.2 m (4 ft) in front of the vehicle,
and at least 25 cm (10 in) off the
ground. This distance may be less
during warmer or humid weather.
{Warning
The parking assist system does
not detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or that
are too close or too far from the
vehicle. It is not available at
speeds greater than 8 km/h
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
(5 mph). To prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with
parking assist, always check the
area around the vehicle and
check all mirrors before moving
forward or backing.
How the System Works
When the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse) the park assist sensors
are automatically turned on. After
the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), the Rear Parking
Assist is turned off and the Front
Parking Assist (if equipped) stays
on until the vehicle is above a
speed of 8 km/h (5 mph). For Front
Parking Assist to be active again
without shifting into R (Reverse), the
park assist button in the overhead
console must be pressed. See
“Turning the System On and Off”
later in this section.

Driving and Operating 9-41
When the vehicle is in N (Neutral),
the system may be active. The
Parking Assist system may need to
be turned off during a car wash to
avoid repeating alerts. See“Turning
the System On and Off” later in this
section to turn the system off.
For vehicles with UFRPA,
high-toned beeps from the front
speakers are for objects detected
near the front bumper. Low-toned
beeps from the rear speakers are
for objects detected near the rear
bumper. The interval between the
beeps becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than
30 cm (12 in) the beeping is a
continuous tone for five seconds.
Objects Detected by Both the
Front and Rear Sensors (If
Equipped)
In general, if objects are detected at
the same time near both the front
and rear bumpers while backing up, the beeps only sound to indicate
that objects are close to the rear
bumper.
However, if an object comes within
0.3 m (1 ft) of the front bumper while
the vehicle is backing up and at the
same time there is another object
further than 0.3 m (1 ft) from the rear
bumper, then the beeps only sound
to indicate the object that is closer
to the front bumper.
Turning the System On and Off
The system can be turned on and
off by pressing the park assist
button in the overhead console.
The indicator light next to the park
assist button lights up when the
system is active.When the system is turned off or
when there is a temporary condition
causing the system to be disabled,
PARK ASSIST OFF displays on the
Driver Information Center (DIC). The
message disappears after a short
period of time.
The system defaults to the on
setting each time the vehicle is
started.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The following messages may be
displayed on the DIC:
SERVICE PARKING ASSIST:
If
this message occurs, check the
following conditions:
.The ultrasonic sensors are not
clean. Keep the vehicle's
bumpers free of mud, dirt, snow,
ice, and slush. For cleaning
instructions, see Exterior Care
on page 10-80.
