WINDOWS
Power Windows — If Equipped
Power Window Switch Panel
The control on the left front door panel has up-down
switches that give you fingertip control of all power
windows. There is a single opening and closing switch on the
front passenger door for passenger window control. If the vehicle is equipped with rear power windows, a single
opening and closing switch on the rear passenger doors for
passenger window control is provided.
NOTE:
The key off power delay feature will allow the power
windows to operate for up to three minutes after the ignition
is turned off. This feature is canceled when either front door
is opened.
The window opening mechanism is fitted with sensors that
can detect the presence of an obstacle while the window is
closing. When this happens, the system activates and the
movement of the glass is immediately reversed.
If the presence of an object is detected and the system is acti
-
vated, it may be necessary to perform the reset procedure by
fully opening the windows.

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a
vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.

176 STARTING AND OPERATING
ParkSense Rear Park Assist 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, in the horizontal
direction, from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 55 inches
(140 cm) from the center of the rear fascia/bumper and up to
24 inches (60 cm) from the corners of the rear fascia/bumper,
depending on the location, type and orientation of the obstacle.

ParkSense Rear Park Assist Sensors Locations If several obstacles are detected, the ParkSense system indi
-
cates the nearest obstacle.
The minimum height of a detectable obstacle corresponds to
the maximum height of an obstacle that would clear the
underside of the vehicle during the parking maneuver.
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 pauses between
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.

STARTING AND OPERATING 179
If it’s necessary to keep the ball mount and hitch ball
assembly mounted for a long period, it is possible to filter out
the ball mount and hitch ball assembly presence in sensor
field of view. The filtering operation must be performed only
by an authorized dealer.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA
Your vehicle is equipped with the ParkView Rear Back Up
Camera that allows you to see an on-screen image of the rear
surroundings of your vehicle whenever the gear selector is
put into REVERSE. The image will be displayed on the
touchscreen display along with a caution note to “check
entire surroundings” across the top of the screen. After five
seconds this note will disappear. The ParkView camera is
located on the rear of the vehicle above the rear license plate.

The Rear Back Up Camera can also be activated when the
vehicle is not in REVERSE through the Uconnect System. Refer
to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.

NOTE:
If one of the rear cargo doors is not completely closed, the
Back Up Camera cannot provide an accurate image of the
area behind the vehicle. A dedicated message will appear on
the Uconnect display indicating the camera is not in the
correct position.
• Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recommended
that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly is discon -
nected 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.
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 Park -
Sense in order to be able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver
looks over his/her shoulder when using ParkSense.
