there is an internal system fault. Although the vehicle is
still drivable under normal conditions, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
PARKSENSEPARK ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides visual and
audible indications of the distance between the rear and/or front fascia and a detected obstacle when backing
up or moving forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver.
Refer to ParkSense
System Usage Precautions for limi-
tations 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 shift lever is in
REVERSE or DRIVE. If ParkSense is enabled at one of
these shift lever positions, the system will remain active
until the vehicle speed is increased to approximately
11 mph (18 km/h) or above. The system will become
active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to speeds
less than approximately 10 mph (16 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 in (30 cm) up to 79 in
(200 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, depending on the location, type and orienta-
tion of the obstacle.
The six ParkSensesensors, located in the front fascia/
bumper, monitor the area in front of the vehicle that is
within the sensors’ field of view. The sensors can detect
obstacles from approximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 47 in
(120 cm) from the front fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, depending on the location, type and orienta-
tion of the obstacle.
ParkSense Warning Display
The ParkSense Warning screen will only be displayed if
Sound and Display is selected from the Uconnect
Touch™ System. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation. The ParkSense
Warning screen is located within the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). It provides
both visual and audible warnings to indicate the distance
between the rear fascia/bumper and/or front fascia/
bumper and the detected obstacle.

Enabling And Disabling ParkSense
ParkSensecan be enabled and disabled using the
Uconnect Touch™ System. The available choices are: Off,
Sound Only, or Sound and Display. Refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information. When the ParkSense
soft-key is pressed to disable the
system, the EVIC will display the “PARK ASSIST OFF”
message for approximately five seconds. Refer to “Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
When the shift lever is moved to REVERSE or to DRIVE
(at or below 11 mph [18 km/h]) and the system is

disabled, the EVIC will display the “PARK ASSIST OFF”
message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE or for
5 seconds when the vehicle is in DRIVE.
The ParkSensesystem uses four sensors located in the
rear bumper fascia to scan for obstacles up to 79 in
(200 cm) away from the rear bumper fascia. The Park-
Sense system uses six sensors located in the front
bumper fascia to scan for obstacles up to 47 in (120 cm)
away from the front bumper fascia. The warning display
located above in the Instrument Cluster ’s EVIC provides
both visible and audible warnings to indicate the range of
the object.
Service The ParkSense Park Assist System
When the ParkSensePark Assist System is malfunction-
ing, the instrument cluster will actuate a single chime,
once per ignition cycle. The instrument cluster will
display the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” message when any of the rear sensor(s) is blocked by snow, mud,
or ice and the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE or DRIVE.
The instrument cluster will display the “CLEAN PARK
ASSIST SENSORS” message when any of the front sen-
sor(s) is blocked by snow, mud, or ice and the vehicle is
shifted into REVERSE or DRIVE. The instrument cluster
will display the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM”
message when any of the rear or front sensors are
damaged and require service. When the shift lever is
moved to REVERSE or DRIVE and the system has
detected a faulted condition, the EVIC will display the
“CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” or the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message for as long as the
vehicle is in REVERSE or DRIVE (at speeds less than
11 mph [18 km/h]). Under this condition ParkSense
will
not operate. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.

If the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” message ap-
pears in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
and the rear fascia/bumper or front fascia/bumper is
clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruc-
tion, see your authorized dealer. If “SERVICE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM” appears in the EVIC, see your autho-
rized dealer.
Cleaning The ParkSenseSystem
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 dam-
age the sensors.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
•Ensure that the front and rear bumper are 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 OFF.” Furthermore, 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 shift lever to the REVERSE or
DRIVE position and ParkSense is turned off, the
instrument cluster will display “PARK ASSIST OFF”
message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE and
when the vehicle is in DRIVE at or below 11 mph
(18 km/h).
216 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

•Clean the ParkSensesensors 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 or in front of the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind or in front of the fascia/bumper.
•Objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc.,
must not be placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the rear
fascia/bumper while driving the vehicle. 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 instrument cluster.
CAUTION!
•ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is unable
to recognize every obstacle, including small ob-
stacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily de-
tected 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 in time
when an obstacle is detected. When backing up, 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 the ParkSensePark Assist System.
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 responsible for
safety and must continue to pay attention to your
surroundings. Failure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•Before using the ParkSensePark Assist System, it
is strongly recommended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly is disconnected from the ve-
hicle 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 warning display turns on the single
flashing arc and 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.
