STATIONARY OBJECTS AND VEHICLES
ACC does not react to stationary objects or vehicles. For
example, ACC will not react in situations where the
vehicle you are following exits your lane and the vehicle
ahead is stopped in your lane. It will consider this
stopped vehicle a stationary object as it did not previ-
ously detect movement from it. Always be attentive and
ready to apply the brakes if necessary.
PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides visual and
audible indications of the distance between the rear
and the front fascia/bumper and a detected obstacle
when backing up or moving forward (e.g. during a park-
ing maneuver). The vehicle brakes may be automati-
cally applied and released when performing a reverse
parking maneuver if the system detects a possible colli-
sion with an obstacle.
NOTE:
•
The driver can disable the automatic braking func-
tion by turning ParkSense off via the ParkSense
switch. The driver can also override automatic brak-
ing by changing the gear or by pressing the gas
pedal over 90% of its capacity during the braking
event.
•
Automatic brakes are not available if the vehicle is
in 4WD Low.
•
Automatic brakes will not be available if there is a
faulted condition detected with the ParkSense Park
Assist system or the Braking System Module.
•
The automatic braking function may only be applied
if the vehicle deceleration is not enough to avoid
colliding with a detected obstacle.
•
The automatic braking function may not be applied
fast enough for obstacles that move toward the rear
of the vehicle from the left and/or right sides.
•
The automatic braking function can be enabled/
disabled from the Customer Programmable Fea-
tures section of the Uconnect system.
•
ParkSense will retain its last known configuration
state for the automatic braking function through
ignition cycles.
The automatic braking function is intended to assist the
driver in avoiding possible collisions with detected
obstacles when backing up in REVERSE gear.
NOTE:
•
The system is designed to assist the driver and not
to substitute the driver.
•
The driver must stay in full control of the vehicle's
acceleration and braking and is responsible for the
vehicle's movements.
For limitations of this system and recommendations,
see
page 136.
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 approxi-
mately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. The system will
become active again if the vehicle speed is decreased
to less than approximately 6 mph (9 km/h). A display
warning will appear in the instrument cluster display if
the vehicle is in REVERSE and the speed exceeds
7 mph (11 km/h).
PARKSENSE SENSORS
The four ParkSense sensors located in the rear fascia/
bumper, and the six ParkSense sensors located in the
front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front and
behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of
view. The front sensors detect obstacles from approxi-
mately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches (120 cm)
from the front fascia/bumper. The rear sensors can
detect obstacles from approximately 12 inches (30 cm)
up to 79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper.
These distances depend on the location, type and ori-
entation of the obstacle in the horizontal direction.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is equipped with ParkSense Active Park
Assist, there will be six ParkSense sensors located in
the rear fascia/bumper.
