ParkSense® Active Park Assist
The ParkSense® Active Park Assist system can be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense®
Active Park Assist switch, located on the switch panel below the Uconnect® display.
The ParkSense® Active Park Assist system is
intended to assist the driver during parallel and
perpendicular parking maneuvers by identify-
ing a proper parking space, providing audible/
visual instructions, and controlling the steering
wheel. The ParkSense® Active Park Assist sys-
tem is defined as “semi-automatic” since the
driver maintains control of the accelerator, shift
lever and brakes. Depending on the driver’s
parking maneuver selection, the ParkSense®
Active Park Assist system is capable of maneu-
vering a vehicle into a parallel or a perpendicu-
lar parking space on either side (i.e., driver side
or passenger side).
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for
further details.
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.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when using ParkSense® in order to be able to stop intime when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver looks over his/her
shoulder when using ParkSense®.
WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using ParkSense®. Always checkcarefully 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 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 continuous 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.
