Rear ParkSense Sensors

The four Rear ParkSense sensors, located in the rear fascia/

bumper, monitor the area behind the vehicle that is within the

sensors’ field of view. The sensors can detect obstacles from

approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 59 inches (150 cm) from

the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction, depending

on the location, type and orientation of the obstacle.

Parking Sensors

Chime

By shifting the vehicle in REVERSE and in the case of the

presence of a rear obstacle, an acoustic signal that varies with

the distance of the obstacle from the bumper is activated.

The frequency of the acoustic signal:

• Increases as the distance between vehicle and object

decreases.

• Becomes continuous when the distance that separates the

vehicle from the obstacle is less than approximately

12 inches (30 cm), while terminates immediately if the

distance to the obstacle increases.

• Remains constant if the distance between vehicle and

obstacle remains unchanged. If this situation occurs for the

external sensors, the signal is stopped after approximately

three seconds to avoid, for example, activation in case of

maneuver along a wall.

When the system emits a beeping sound, the volume of the

Uconnect system, if turned on, is automatically lowered by

Rear ParkSense.
