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
Precautions” in the Owner’s Manual at
www.mopar.com/en-us/care/
owners-manual.html (U.S. Residents) or
www.owners.mopar.ca (Canadian Residents)
for limitations of this system and recommen-
dations.
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 or DRIVE. If
ParkSense is enabled at one of these gear
selector positions, the system will remain
active until the vehicle speed is increased to
approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. A
warning will appear in the instrument clusterdisplay indicating the vehicle is above
ParkSense operating speed. The system will
become active again if the vehicle speed is
decreased to speeds less than approximately
6 mph (9 km/h).
ParkSense Sensors
For the 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cab
vehicles, the rear ParkSense sensors are
shipped loose. Please refer to the Ram Body
Builders Guide for more information.
Cleaning The ParkSense System
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 damage the
sensors.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA

ParkView Rear Back Up Camera that allows
you to see a image of the rear surroundings of
your vehicle whenever the gear selector is put
into REVERSE or whenever it is initiated through the "Backup Camera" button in the
"Controls" menu. Whenever the gear selector
is put into REVERSE, the image will be
displayed in the rearview mirror display (if
equipped) or Uconnect screen (if equipped)
along with a caution note to “check entire
surroundings” across the top of the screen.
After five seconds this note will disappear.
NOTE:
For the 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cab
vehicles, the Rear Backup Camera is shipped
loose and not installed. Please refer to the
Ram Body Builders Guide for more informa-
tion.

era mode is exited and the navigation or
audio screen appears again.

(with Camera delay turned on), the rear Cam-
era image will be displayed for up to 10 sec-
onds after shifting out of REVERSE unless

Android Auto
Android Auto is a feature of your Uconnect
system, and your Android 5.0 Lollipop, or
higher, powered smartphone with a data plan,
that allows you to project your smartphone
and a number of its apps onto the touch-
screen radio display. Android Auto automati-
cally brings you useful information, and orga-
nizes it into simple cards that appear just
when they are needed. Android Auto can be
used with Google's best-in-class speech tech-
nology, the steering wheel controls, the knobs
and buttons on your radio faceplate, and the
radio display’s touchscreen to control many
of your apps. To use Android Auto follow the
following procedure:
1. Download the Android Auto app from theGoogle Play store on your Android-
powered smartphone. 2. Connect your Android powered smart-
phone to one of the media USB ports in
your vehicle. If the Android Auto app was
not downloaded, the first time you plug
your device in, the app will begin to
download.
NOTE:
Be sure to use the factory-provided USB
cable that came with your phone, as after-
market cables may not work. 3. Once the device is connected, the system
will display the Android Auto home
screen. Android Auto should automati-
cally launch, but if it does not launch
automatically, refer to the Uconnect Own-
er’s Manual Supplement for the procedure
to enable the feature “AutoShow.” You
can also launch it by pressing Android
Auto located in the “Apps” menu. If you
use Android Auto frequently you can move
the app to the menu bar at the bottom of
the touchscreen. Press the “Apps” button
and locate the Android Auto app; then
press and drag the selected App to replace
an existing shortcut in the main menu bar.
Once Android Auto is up and running on your
Uconnect radio, the following features can be
utilized using your smartphone’s data plan:
• Google Maps for navigation
• Google Play Music, Spotify, iHeart Radio, etc. for music
• Handsfree Calling, and Texting for commu- nication
• Hundred of compatible apps

NOTE:
To use Android Auto, make sure you are in an
area with cellular coverage. Android Auto
may use cellular data and your cellular cov-
erage is shown in the upper right corner of the
radio screen.
Maps
Push and hold the VR button on the steering
wheel or tap the microphone icon to ask
Google to take you to a desired destination by
voice. You can also touch the Navigation icon
in Android Auto to access Google Maps.NOTE:
If the VR button is not held, and is only
pushed, the native Uconnect VR will prompt
you and any navigation command said will
launch the native Uconnect navigation sys-
tem.
While using Android Auto, Google Maps pro-
vides voice-guided:
• Navigation
• Live traffic information
• Lane guidance
NOTE:
If you are using the native Uconnect naviga-
tion system, and you try and start a new route
using the Android Auto, via voice or any other
method, a pop-up will appear asking if you
would like to switch from Uconnect naviga-
tion to smartphone navigation. A pop-up will
also appear, asking if you’d like to switch, if
Android Auto is currently in use and you
attempt to launch a native Uconnect route.
Selecting “Yes” will switch the navigation
type to the newly used method of navigation
and a route will be planned for the new
destination. If “No” is selected the naviga-
tion type will remain unchanged.
For further information, refer to
www.android.com/auto/.

function, please refer to

Uconnect system, launch CarPlay, and push
and hold the VR button on the steering wheel
to use Siri to set your desired destination.
Alternatively, choose a Nearby destination by

said will launch the native Uconnect navi-
gation system.

• If you are using the native Uconnect navi-gation system, and you try and start a new
route using CarPlay, via voice or any other
method, a pop-up will appear asking if you
would like to switch from Uconnect naviga-
tion to iPhone navigation. A pop-up will
also appear, asking if you’d like to switch, if
an CarPlay navigation is currently in use
and you attempt to launch a native
Uconnect route. Selecting “Yes” will switch
the navigation type to the newly used
method of navigation and a route will be
planned for the new destination. If “No” is
selected the navigation type will remain
unchanged.Apps

must have the compatible app downloaded,
and you must be signed in to the app. Refer
to http://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/ (U.S.
Residents) or
https://www.apple.com/ca/ios/carplay/ (Ca-
