2020 RAM 1500 Owners Manual - PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is intended to assist the driver during parallel and perpendicular parking maneuvers by identifying a proper parking space, providing audible/visual instructions, and controlling the steering wheel. The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is defined as “semi-automatic” since the driver maintains control of the accelerator, gear selector and brakes. Depending on the driver's parking maneuver selection, the ParkSense Active

Park Assist system is capable of maneuvering a vehicle into a parallel or a perpendicular parking space on either side (i.e., driver side or passenger side).

NOTE:

The driver is always responsible for controlling the vehicle, responsible for any surrounding objects, and must intervene as required.

The system is provided to assist the driver and not to substitute the driver.

During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the driver touches 5

the steering wheel after being instructed to remove their hands from the steering wheel, the system will cancel, and the driver will be required to manually complete the parking maneuver.

The system may not work in all conditions (e.g. environ- mental conditions such as heavy rain, snow, etc., or if searching for a parking space that has surfaces that will absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).

New vehicles from the dealership must have at least 30 miles (48 km) accumulated before the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is fully calibrated and performs accu- rately. This is due to the system's dynamic vehicle calibra-

tion to improve the performance of the feature. The system will also continuously perform the dynamic vehicle cali- bration to account for differences such as over or under inflated tires and new tires.

The driver must control the vehicle's brakes themselves. Automatic emergency braking feature is NOT intended to substitute for the driver during REVERSE maneuvers.

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system can be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch, located on the switch panel below the

Uconnect display.
