114 STARTING AND OPERATING
Front Park Assist Audible Alerts
ParkSense will turn off the Front Park Assist audible alert
(chime) after approximately three seconds when an
obstacle has been detected, the vehicle is stationary, and
brake pedal is applied.
Adjustable Chime Volume Settings
Front and Rear chime volume settings can be selected
from the Uconnect system
Ú page 135.
The chime volume settings include low, medium, and
high.
ParkSense will retain its last known configuration state
through ignition cycles.
PARKSENSE WARNING DISPLAY
The ParkSense Warning screen is located within the
instrument cluster display
Ú page 73. It provides visual
warnings to indicate the distance between the rear fascia/
bumper and/or front fascia/bumper and the detected
obstacle.
The ParkSense Warning screen will only be displayed if
Sound and Display is selected from the Customer
Programmable Features section of the Uconnect system
Ú page 135.
ENABLING AND DISABLING PARKSENSE
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with
the ParkSense switch.
When the ParkSense switch is pushed to
disable the system, the instrument cluster will
display the “PARKSENSE OFF” message for approximately
five seconds. When the gear selector is moved to
REVERSE and the system is disabled, the instrument
cluster display will display the “PARKSENSE OFF”
message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
NOTE:
When ParkSense is disabled and the gear selector is
moved to the DRIVE position, no warning message will be
displayed.
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 the system requires service, the
ParkSense switch LED will blink momentarily, and then the
LED will be on.
OPERATION WITH A TRAILER
For vehicles equipped with an Integrated Trailer Brake
Module (ITBM), the operation of the rear sensors is
automatically deactivated when the trailer's electric plug
is inserted in the vehicle's tow hook socket. The front
system is still functional, and the arcs will be overlaid with
a “Trailer” message. The rear sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug is removed.
When the vehicle is connected to a trailer, the instrument
cluster display will show the "Rear ParkSense Unavailable
Trailer Connected" message in the following situations:
For five seconds at vehicle start up
For five seconds when the ParkSense button is
pushed, as long as an object is not detected in the front
As long as the vehicle is in REVERSE (vehicle graphic
displayed with a trailer overlay)
NOTE:
For more information on the Integrated Trailer Brake
Module, see
Ú page 126.
For vehicles not equipped with ITBM, the automatic
braking may falsely be applied if a trailer is hooked up, and
Park Assist is not manually deactivated. It is also possible,
the trailer may be mistaken as a close object.
SERVICE THE PARKSENSE PARK ASSIST
S
YSTEM
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense System has
detected a fault condition, the instrument cluster will
actuate a single chime, once per ignition cycle, and it will
display the "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR
SENSORS", "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE FRONT
SENSORS", or the "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED" message for five seconds.
When the gear selector is moved to REVERSE and the
system has detected a fault condition, the instrument
WARNING!
Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recommended
that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly be
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 vehicle 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.
