HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS

NOTE:

If your vehicle is equipped with a 12–inch Uconnect display, the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch is located above the display.

To enable the ParkSense Active Park Assist system, push the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch once (LED turns on).

To disable the ParkSense Active Park Assist system, push the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch again (LED turns off).

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will turn off auto- matically for any of the following conditions:

The parking maneuver is completed.

Vehicle speed greater than 18 mph (30 km/h) when searching for a parking space.

Vehicle speed greater than 5 mph (7 km/h) during active steering guidance into the parking space.

Touching the steering wheel during active steering guid- ance into the parking space.

Pushing the ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist switch.

The driver's door is opened.

The tailgate is opened.

Electronic Stability Control/Anti-lock Braking System intervention.

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will allow a maximum of eight shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE. If the maneuver cannot be completed within eight shifts, the system will cancel and the instrument cluster display will instruct the driver to complete the maneuver manually.

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will only operate and search for a parking space when the following condi- tions are present:

The gear position is in DRIVE.

The ignition is in the RUN position.

The ParkSense Active Park Assist switch is activated.

The driver's door is closed.

The liftgate is closed.

Vehicle speed is less than 15 mph (25 km/h).

NOTE:

If the vehicle is driven above approximately 15 mph (25 km/h), the instrument cluster display will instruct the driver to slow down. If the vehicle is driven above approximately 18 mph (30 km/h), the system will cancel. The driver must then reacti- vate the system by pushing the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch.

Make sure that the outer surface and the underside of the front and rear fascias/bumpers are clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction.

When pushed, the LED on the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch will blink momentarily, and then the LED will turn off if any of the above conditions are not present.

When the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is enabled the “Active ParkSense Searching - Push OK To Switch To Perpendicular Park” message will appear in the instrument cluster display. You may switch to perpendicular parking if you desire. Push the OK button on the left side steering wheel switch to change your parking space setting.

NOTE:

When searching for a parking space, use the turn signal indicator to select which side of the vehicle you want to 5 perform the parking maneuver. The ParkSense Active

Park Assist system will automatically search for a parking space on the passenger's side of the vehicle if the turn signal is not activated.

The driver needs to make sure that the selected parking space for the maneuver remains free and clear of any obstructions (e.g. pedestrians, bicycles, etc.).

The driver is responsible to ensure that the selected parking space is suitable for the maneuver and free/clear of anything that may be overhanging or protruding into the parking space (e.g., ladders, tailgates, etc. from surrounding objects/vehicles).

When seeking for a parking space, the driver should drive as parallel or perpendicular (depending on the type of maneuver) to other vehicles as possible.

The feature will only indicate the last detected parking space (example: if passing multiple available parking spaces, the system will only indicate the last detected parking space for the maneuver).

Searching

When an available parking space has been found, and the vehicle is not in position, you will be instructed to move forward to position the vehicle for a parallel parking sequence.

Parking Space Found — Keep Moving Forward

Once the vehicle is in position, you will be instructed to stop the vehicle's movement and remove your hands from the steering wheel.

Parking Space Found — Stop

Once the vehicle is at a standstill with your hands removed from the steering wheel, you will be instructed to place the gear selector into the REVERSE position.

Parking Space Found — Remove Hands — Shift To Reverse

When the driver places the gear selector into the REVERSE position, the system may instruct the driver to wait for steering to complete.

The system will then instruct the driver to check their surroundings and move backward.

Parking Space Found — Move Backwards

NOTE:

It is the driver's responsibility to use the brake and accel- erator during the semi-automatic parking maneuver.

Rear automatic braking is NOT intended to stop the vehicle for the driver during parking maneuvers.

When the system instructs the driver to remove their hands from the steering wheel, the driver should check their surroundings and begin to back up slowly.

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will allow a maximum of eight shifts between DRIVE or REVERSE. If the maneuver cannot be completed within eight shifts, the system will cancel and the instrument cluster display will instruct the driver to complete the maneuver manually.

The system will cancel the maneuver if the vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (7 km/h) during active steering guidance into the parking space. The system will provide a warning to the driver at 3 mph (5 km/h) that tells them to slow down. The driver is then responsible for completing the maneuver if the system is canceled.

If the system is canceled during the maneuver for any reason, the driver must take full control of the vehicle.

When the vehicle has reached the end of its backward move- ment, the system will instruct the driver to check their surroundings and stop the vehicle's movement.
