Parksense front and rear park assist - if equipped
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides visual and
audible indications of the distance between the rear
and/or front fascia and a detected obstacle when backing
up or moving forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver.
If your vehicle is equipped with an Automatic Transmission,
the vehicle brakes may be automatically applied
and released when performing a reverse parking maneuver
if the system detects a possible collision with an
obstacle.
NOTE:
- The driver can override the automatic braking function
by pushing the gas pedal, turning ParkSense off
via ParkSense switch, or changing the gear while the
automatic brakes are being applied.
- Automatic brakes will not be available if ESC is not
available.
- 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 Features
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 driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle.
- The system is provided 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.
Refer to ParkSense System Usage Precautions for limitations
of this system and recommendations.
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 shift lever is in
REVERSE or DRIVE. If ParkSense is enabled at one of
these shift lever positions, the system will remain active until the vehicle
speed is increased to approximately
7 mph (11 km/h) or above. When in REVERSE and above
the system's operating speed, a warning will appear in
the EVIC/DID indicating the vehicle speed is too fast.
The system will become active again if the vehicle speed
is decreased to speeds less than approximately 6 mph
(9 km/h).
