STARTING AND OPERATING 317
Activation — Deactivation
The system can operate only after driving a short distance
and if the vehicle speed is between 0 and 11 mph (0 and
18 km/h). The system can be activated/deactivated via
the "Settings" menu of the Uconnect system. If the Park-
Sense System is deactivated via the ParkSense Hard
switch then the side distance warning system will auto-
matically be deactivated.
Message on the display for Side Distance Warning feature:
“Wipe Sensors” — This message is displayed in the case of a
failure of the Side Distance Warning system sensors. Free the
bumpers of any obstacles, ensure that the front and rear
bumper are free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep
the ParkSense system operating properly.
“SDW Not Available” — This message is displayed if the
Side Distance Warning system is not available. The failed
operation of the system might be due to the insufficient
voltage from the battery or other failures on the electrical
system. Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible to
have the electrical system checked.
Operation With A Trailer
The system is automatically deactivated when the trailer's
electric plug is inserted in the vehicle's tow hook socket. The
rear sensors are automatically reactivated when the trailer's
cable plug is removed.
