PARKSENSE REAR PARK
ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Rear Park Assist system pro-
vides visual and audible indications of the
distance between the rear fascia and a de-
tected obstacle when backing up, e.g. during
a parking maneuver. Refer to “ParkSense
System Usage Precautions” 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. The system will
remain active until the vehicle speed is in-
creased to approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or
above. While in REVERSE and above the
system's operating speed, a warning will ap-
pear in the instrument cluster display indi-
cating the vehicle speed is too fast. The
system will become active again if the vehicle
speed is decreased to speeds less than ap-
proximately 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 direction, depend-
ing 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 Uconnect System. Refer to
"Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
The ParkSense Warning screen is located
within the instrument cluster display. It pro-
vides visual warnings to indicate the distance
between the rear fascia/bumper and the de-
tected obstacle. Refer to “Instrument Cluster
Display” in “Getting To Know Your Instru-
ment Panel” in the Owner’s Manual for fur-
ther information.
Enabling And Disabling ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and
disabled with the ParkSense
switch, located on the switch
panel below the Uconnect display.
When the ParkSense switch is pushed to
disable the system, the instrument cluster
display will show the “PARKSENSE OFF”
message for approximately five seconds. Re-
fer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Get-
ting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in your
Owner’s Manual for further details. When the
gear selector is moved to REVERSE and the
system is disabled, the instrument cluster
display will show the “PARKSENSE OFF”
message for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE.
The ParkSense switch LED will be on when
ParkSense is disabled or requires service.
The ParkSense switch LED will be off when
the system is enabled. If the ParkSense
switch is pushed, and requires service, the
ParkSense switch LED will blink momen-
tarily, and then the LED will be on.
STARTING AND OPERATING
168

ParkSense System Usage Precautions
• 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 vi-
brations could affect the performance of
ParkSense.
• When you turn ParkSense OFF, the instru-
ment cluster display will read
“PARKSENSE OFF.” Furthermore, once
you turn ParkSense OFF, it remains off until
you turn it on again, even if you cycle the
ignition.
• ParkSense, when on, will reduce the vol-
ume of the radio when it is sounding a tone.
• Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, tak-
ing 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 prop-
erly. The ParkSense system might not de-
tect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper,
or it could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the fascia/bumper.• Use the ParkSense switch to turn the
ParkSense system OFF if objects such as
bicycle carriers, etc. are attached to the
rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close
object as a sensor problem, causing the
“PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED” message to be displayed in
the instrument cluster display.
NOTE:
If any objects are attached to the bumper
within a 6.5ft (2 m) field of view, they will
interfere and cause false alerts and possibly
blockage.
• The operation of the rear sensors is auto-
matically deactivated when the trailer's
electric plug is inserted in the vehicle's tow
hook socket. The rear sensors are automati-
cally reactivated when the trailer's cable
plug is removed.
WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using ParkSense. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, look
WARNING!
behind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, ob-
structions, and blind spots before back-
ing 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.
• 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.
169

CAUTION!
• ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, in-
cluding 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 in time when an obstacle is de-
tected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using ParkSense.
PARKSENSE FRONT AND
REAR PARK 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 mov-
ing forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver.Refer to “ParkSense System Usage Precau-
tions” in “Starting And Operating” in your
Owner’s Manual 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 is active in all gear selector posi-
tions (including PARK), as long as the system
is on. The system will remain active until the
vehicle speed is increased to approximately
7 mph (11 km/h) or above. While in RE-
VERSE and above the system's operating
speed, a warning will appear in the instru-
ment cluster display indicating the vehicle
speed is too fast. 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 six 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 direction, depend-
ing on the location, type and orientation of
the obstacle.
NOTE:
For further information on Active Park Assist,
refer to the “ParkSense Active Park Assist
System” section.
The six ParkSense sensors, 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 inches (30 cm) up to
47 inches (120 cm) from the front fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction, depend-
ing on the location, type and orientation of
the obstacle.
STARTING AND OPERATING
170

Operation With A Trailer
The system is automatically deactivated
when the trailer's electric plug is inserted in
the vehicle's tow hook socket. The rear sen-
sors are automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
ParkSense Usage Precautions
Some conditions may influence the perfor-
mance of the Side Distance Warning System:
NOTE:
• Ensure that the front and rear bumper are
free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to
keep the ParkSense system operating prop-
erly.
• Construction equipment, large trucks, and
other vibrations could affect the perfor-
mance of ParkSense.
• When you turn ParkSense off, the message
to appear in the instrument cluster display
will read “PARKSENSE OFF.” Furthermore,
once you turn ParkSense off, it remains off
until you turn it on again, even if you cycle
the ignition key.• ParkSense, when on, will reduce the vol-
ume of the radio when it is sounding a tone.
• Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, tak-
ing 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.
• The presence of a tow hook without a trailer
may interfere with the correct operation of
the parking sensors. Before using the
ParkSense system, it is recommended to
remove the removable tow hook ball assem-
bly and any attachments from the vehicle
when it is not used for towing operations. If
you wish to leave the tow hook fitted with-
out towing a trailer, it is advisable to con-
tact your authorized dealer for the
ParkSense system update operations be-
cause the tow hook could be detected as an
obstacle by the central sensors.
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 responsible for
safety and must continue to pay atten-
tion 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.

only the left lane marking has been de-
tected and the system is ready to provide
visual warnings in the instrument cluster
display if an unintentional lane departure
occurs.• When the LaneSense system senses the
lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes from white to gray, the left thin line
remains solid white and the LaneSense
telltale
changes from solid white to
flashing yellow.
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the
similar behavior for a right lane departure
when only the right lane marking has been
detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
• When the LaneSense system is on, the lane
lines turn from gray to white to indicate that
both of the lane markings have been de-
tected. The LaneSense telltale

AdBlue (UREA) Storage
AdBlue (UREA) is considered a very stable
product with a long shelf life. If AdBlue
(UREA) is kept in temperatures between
10° and 90°F (-12° and 32°C), it will last a
minimum of one year.
AdBlue (UREA) is subject to freezing at the
lowest temperatures. For example, AdBlue
(UREA) may freeze at temperatures at or
below 12° F (-11° C). The system has been
designed to operate in this environment.
NOTE:
When working with AdBlue (UREA), it is
important to know that:
• Any containers or parts that come into con-
tact with AdBlue (UREA) must be AdBlue
(UREA) compatible (plastic or stainless
steel). Copper, brass, aluminum, iron or
non-stainless steel should be avoided as
they are subject to corrosion by AdBlue
(UREA).
• If AdBlue (UREA) is spilled, it should be
wiped up completely.
Adding AdBlue (UREA)
Preliminary Conditions
AdBlue (UREA) freezes at temperatures
lower than 12° F (-11° C). If the car stands for
a long time at this temperature refilling could
be difficult. For this reason, it is advised to
park the vehicle in a garage and/or heated
environment and wait for the urea to return to
liquid state before topping up.
Proceed as follows:
• Park the car on flat ground and stop the
engine by cycling the ignition to the OFF
position.
• Open the fuel door, undo and remove the
cap (blue) from the AdBlue (UREA) filler.
Refilling With Nozzles
You can fill up at any AdBlue (UREA) dis-
tributor.
Fuel Filler
1 — AdBlue (UREA) Filler Cap
2 — Fuel Filler
185

Proceed as follows:
• Insert the AdBlue (UREA) nozzle in the
filler, start refilling and stop refilling at the
first shut-off (the shut-off indicates that the
AdBlue (UREA) tank is full). Do not pro-
ceed with the refilling, to prevent spillage
of AdBlue (UREA).
• Extract the nozzle.
Refilling With Containers
Proceed as follows:
• Check the expiration date.
• Read the advice for use on the label before
pouring the content of the bottle into the
AdBlue (UREA) tank.
• If systems which cannot be screwed in (e.g.
tanks) are used for refilling, after the indi-
cation appears on the instrument panel
display refer to “Warning lights And Mes-
sages" in the “Getting To Know Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information, fill the
AdBlue (UREA) tank with no more than
2 Gallons (8 liters).• If containers which can be screwed to the
filler are used, the reservoir is full when the
AdBlue (UREA) level in the container stops
pouring out. Do not proceed further.
Operations After Refilling
Proceed as follows:
• Fit the cap back on the AdBlue (UREA)
filler by turning it clockwise and screwing it
completely.
• Cycle the ignition to RUN (it is not neces-
sary to start the engine).
• Wait for the indication on the instrument
panel to switch off before moving the car.
The indication may stay on for a few sec-
onds to approximately half a minute. If the
engine is started and the car is moved, the
indication will remain on for longer. This
will not compromise engine operation.
• If the AdBlue (UREA) was topped up when
the tank was empty, wait for 2 minutes
before starting the engine.NOTE:
• If AdBlue (UREA) is spilled out of the filler
neck, clean up well the area and proceed to
filling up again. If the liquid crystallizes,
eliminate it with a sponge and warm water.
• DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM LEVEL:
this could cause damage to the reservoir.
AdBlue (UREA) freezes at under 12° F
(-11° C). Although the system is designed
to operate below the freezing point of the
UREA, it is advisable not to fill the tank
beyond the maximum level because if the
UREA freezes the system can be damaged.
Follow the instructions in this section.
• If the AdBlue (UREA) is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately clean
the area with water and use absorbent ma-
terial to collect the fluid that has been
spilled on the ground.
•
Do not try to start the engine if AdBlue
(UREA) was accidentally added to the diesel
fuel tank, this can result in serious engine
damage, contact an authorized dealer.
•Do not add additives or other fluids to AdBlue
(UREA), doing so could damage the system.
