ParkSense Rear Park Assist Alerts
If an obstacle is behind the vehicle when REVERSE gear is
engaged, an audible alert is activated.
The tones emitted by the loudspeaker inform the driver
that the vehicle is approaching an obstacle. The pausesbetween the tones are directly proportional to the distance
from the obstacle. Pulses emitted in quick succession
indicate the presence of a very close obstacle. A continuous
tone indicates that the obstacle is less than 12 inches
(30 cm) away.
Audible And Visual Signals Supplied By The Park Assist System
SIGNAL
MEANINGINDICATION
Obstacle Distance An obstacle is present within the
sensors’ field of view Audible signal
(dashboard loud-
speaker)
• Sound pulses emitted at a rate that
increases as the distance decreases.
• Emits continuous tone at 12 inches
(30 cm).
• Adjustable volume level program-
mable through personal settings in
the Instrument Cluster Display. Refer
to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Understanding Your Instrument
Panel”.
Failure Sensor or System failures Visual Signal(instrument panel)
• Icon appears on display.
• Message is displayed on multifunc-
tion display (where provided).
100 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

While audible signals are emitted, the audio system is not
muted.
The audible signal is turned off immediately if the distance
increases. The tone cycle remains constant if the distance
measured by the inner sensors is constant. If this condition
occurs for the external sensors, the signal is turned off after
three seconds (stopping warnings during maneuvers par-
allel to walls).
ParkSense Rear Park Assist Failure Indications
A malfunction of the Park Assist sensors or system is
indicated, during REVERSE gear engagement, by the in-
strument panel warning icon.The warning icon is illuminated and a message is
displayed on the multifunction display (if
equipped). Refer to “Instrument Cluster Descrip-
tions” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
The sensors and wiring are tested continuously when the
ignition is in the ON/RUN position. Failures are indicated
immediately if they occur when the system is ON.
Even if the system is able to identify that a specific sensor
is in failure condition, the Instrument Cluster Display shall
indicate that the Park Assist system is unavailable, without reference to the sensor in failure condition. If even a single
sensor fails, the entire system must be disabled. The system
is turned off automatically.
Cleaning The ParkSense Rear Park Assist System
Clean the Park Assist sensors with water, car wash soap
and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. In
washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the vapor
jet/high pressure washing nozzles at least 4 inches (10 cm)
from the sensors. Do not scratch or poke the sensors.
Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.
ParkSense Rear Park Assist System Usage
Precautions
NOTE:
•
Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of the
rear bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or
other obstruction to keep the ParkSense Rear Park Assist
system operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of Park Assist.
• Clean the Park Assist sensors regularly, taking care not
to scratch or damage them. The sensors must not be
covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris.
