Adjustable Chime Volume Settings
Front and Rear chime volume settings can be selected
from the Uconnect system
page 145.
The chime volume settings include low, medium, and
high.
ParkSense will retain its last known configuration state
through ignition cycles.
ENABLING AND DISABLING
PARKSENSE
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled
with the ParkSense switch, located in front
of the center console, to the rear of the gear
selector.
When the ParkSense switch is pushed to disable the
system, the LED in the switch will illuminate, and the
display will read “Parksense Off” when the vehicle is
shifted into DRIVE or REVERSE.
NOTE:
The ParkSense switch LED will be off when the system
is active.
The ParkSense switch LED will also be illuminated
when ParkSense requires service. If the ParkSense
switch is pushed, and requires service, the ParkSense
switch LED will blink momentarily, and then the LED will
be on.
SERVICE THE PARKSENSE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense System
has detected a faulted condition, the instrument cluster
will display a warning message associated with the
detected fault.
If "Sensor Lock" appears in the instrument cluster dis-
play, make sure the outer surface and the underside of
the rear fascia/bumper and/or front fascia/bumper is
clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruc-
tions and then cycle the ignition. If the message contin-
ues to appear, see an authorized dealer.
If the "System Not Available" message appears in the
instrument cluster display, see an authorized dealer.
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.
PARKSENSE SYSTEM USAGE
PRECAUTIONS
•
Ensure that the front and rear fascias/bumpers are
free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the
ParkSense system operating properly.
•
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations
could affect the performance of ParkSense.
•
When you turn ParkSense off, the display will read
“Parksense Off” when the vehicle is shifted into
DRIVE or REVERSE. 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 volume of the
radio when it is sounding a tone.
•
Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, taking 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.
•
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 “Sys-
tem Not Available” message to be displayed in the
instrument cluster display.
NOTE:
If any objects are attached to the fascia/bumper
within a 6.5 ft (2 m) field of view, they will interfere
and cause false alerts and possibly blockage.
•
There may be a delay in the object detection rate if
the object is moving.
•
The rear sensors are automatically deactivated
when the trailer’s electric plug is inserted in the
vehicle’s tow socket. The front sensors (if equipped)
will stay active and can provide acoustic and visual
warnings. The rear sensors are automatically reacti-
vated 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 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 attention to your surroundings. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or death.
