Fiat Freemont (2016 year). Instruction — part 10

applies the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in
counteracting the condition of over-steer or under-
steer.

• Over-steer - when the vehicle is turning more than

appropriate for the steering wheel position.

• Under-steer - when the vehicle is turning less than

appropriate for the steering wheel position.

WARNING!

• Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
cannot prevent the natural laws of phys-

ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
the traction afforded by prevailing road condi-
tions.
• ESC cannot prevent collisions, including those
resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on
very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC also
cannot prevent collisions resulting from the loss
of vehicle control due to inappropriate driver
input for the conditions. Only a safe, attentive,
and skillfull driver can prevent collisions.
• The capabilities of an ESC equipped vehicle
must never be explained in a reckless or danger-
ous manner which could jeopardize the user's
safety or the safety of others.

ESC Operating Modes

The ESC system has two available operating modes.

Full On

This is the normal operating mode for ESC. Whenever
the vehicle is started the system will be in this mode.
This mode should be used for most driving situations.
ESC should only be turned to “Partial Off” for specific
reasons as noted. Refer to “Partial Off” for additional
information.

145

Partial Off

The “ESC OFF” button is located in the switch bank
above the climate control. To enter the “Partial Off”
mode, momentarily press the “ESC OFF” button and
the “ESC OFF” Indicator Light will illuminate. To turn
the ESC on again, momentarily press the “ESC OFF”
button and the “ESC OFF” Indicator Light will turn off.
This will restore the normal “ESC On” mode of opera-
tion.

(fig. 112)

NOTE: To improve the vehicle's traction when driving
with snow chains, or when starting off in deep snow,
sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the
“Partial Off” mode by momentarily pressing the “ESC
OFF” button. Once the situation requiring “Partial
Off” mode is overcome, turn ESC back on by momen-
tarily pressing the “ESC OFF” button. This may be
done while the vehicle is in motion.

WARNING!

• When in “Partial Off ” mode, the TCS
functionality of ESC (except for the lim-

ited slip feature described in theTCS section) has
been disabled and the “ESC Off Indicator Light”
will be illuminated.When in “Partial Off ” mode,
the engine power reduction of TCS is disabled,
and the enhanced vehicle stability offered by the
ESC system is reduced.
• Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is disabled when
the ESC system is in the “Partial Off ” mode.

ESC ACTIVATION/MALFUNCTION
INDICATOR LIGHT AND ESC OFF
INDICATOR LIGHT

The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” in the instrument cluster will come on
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position. It should go out with the engine

running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” comes on continuously with the engine running,
a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If
this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and
the vehicle has been driven several kilometers at
speeds greater than 48 km/h, see your authorized
dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diag-
nosed and corrected.

The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” (lo-
cated in the instrument cluster) starts to flash as soon
as the tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes
active. The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” also flashes when TCS is active. If the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” begins to flash
during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and
apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your
speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions.

NOTE:

• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”

and the “ESC OFF Indicator Light” come on momen-
tarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON.

• Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESC system

will be ON even if it was turned off previously.

• The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds

when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop
when ESC becomes inactive following the maneuver
that caused the ESC activation.

The “ESC OFF Indicator Light” indicates the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is in Partial
OFF mode.

HILL START ASSIST (HSA)

The HSA system is designed to assist the driver when
starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill. HSA will
maintain the level of brake pressure the driver applied
for a short period of time after the driver takes their
foot off of the brake pedal. If the driver does not apply
the throttle during this short period of time, the
system will release brake pressure and the vehicle will
roll down the hill. The system will release brake pres-
sure in proportion to the amount of throttle applied as
the vehicle starts to move in the intended direction of
travel.

147

HSA Activation Criteria

The following criteria must be met in order for HSA to
activate:

• Vehicle must be stopped.

• Vehicle must be on a 6% (approximate) grade or

greater hill.

• Gear selection matches vehicle uphill direction (i.e.,

vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear; vehicle backing
uphill is in REVERSE gear).

WARNING!

There may be situations on minor hills
with a loaded vehicle, or while pulling a

trailer where the system will not activate and
slight rolling may occur, which could cause a
collision with another vehicle or object. Always
remember the driver is responsible for braking
the vehicle.

HSA will work in REVERSE and all forward gears when
the activation criteria have been met. The system will
not activate if the vehicle is placed in NEUTRAL or
PARK.

Towing With HSA

HSA will provide assistance when starting on a grade
when pulling a trailer.

WARNING!

• If you use a trailer brake controller
with your trailer, your trailer brakes may

be activated and deactivated with the brake
switch. If so, when the brake pedal is released,
there may not be enough brake pressure to hold
the vehicle and trailer on a hill and this could
cause a collision with another vehicle or object
behind you. In order to avoid rolling down the hill
while resuming acceleration, instructionly activate
the trailer brake prior to releasing the brake
pedal.Always remember the driver is responsible
for braking the vehicle.
• HSA is not a parking brake. If you stop the
vehicle on a hill without putting the transmission
in PARK and using the parking brake, it will roll
down the hill and could cause a collision with
another vehicle or object. Always remember to
use the parking brake while parking on a hill, and
that the driver is responsible for braking the
vehicle.

HSA Off

If you wish to turn off the HSA system, it can be done
using the Customer Programmable Features in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in
“Knowing your vehicle” for further information.

148

TRAILER SWAY CONTROL (TSC)

TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize an exces-
sively swaying trailer. TSC activates automatically once
the excessively swaying trailer is recognized. When
TSC is functioning, the “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” will flash, the engine power will be
reduced, and you will feel the brake being applied to
individual wheels in an attempt to stop the trailer from
swaying.

NOTE: The TSC is disabled when the ESC system is in
the “Partial Off” mode.

WARNING!

• TSC cannot stop all trailers from
swaying. Always use caution when tow-

ing a trailer and follow the tongue weight recom-
mendations. Refer to “TrailerTowing” in “Starting
and Driving” for further information.
• If TSC activates while towing a trailer, stop the
vehicle at the nearest safe location and adjust
the trailer load to eliminate the trailer sway.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in an
accident or serious personal injury.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM —
OBD II

Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard
diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors
the performance of the emissions, engine, and auto-
matic transmission control systems. When these sys-
tems are operating properly, your vehicle will provide
excellent performance and fuel economy, as well as
engine emissions well within current government regu-
lations.

If any of these systems require service, the OBD II
system will turn on the “Malfunction Indicator Light”
(MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service technician in making
repairs. Although your vehicle will usually be drivable
and not need towing, see your authorized dealer for
service as soon as possible.

• Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause further damage to the emis-
sion control system. It could also affect

fuel economy and driveability.The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests can be per-
formed.
• If the MIL is flashing while the engine is running,
severe catalytic converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is required.

149

POWER STEERING

The standard power steering system will give you good
vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability
in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical
steering capability if power assist is lost.

If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it
will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these
conditions, you will observe a substantial increase in
steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds
and during parking maneuvers.

NOTE:

• Increased noise levels at the end of the steering

wheel travel are considered normal and do not
indicate that there is a problem with the power
steering system.

• Upon initial start-up in cold weather, the power

steering pump may make noise for a short amount of
time. This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the
steering system. This noise should be considered
normal, and it does not in any way damage the
steering system.

Prolonged operation of the steering sys-
tem at the end of the steering wheel
travel will increase the steering fluid tem-

perature and it should be avoided when possible.
Damage to the power steering pump may occur.

POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK

Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined
service interval is not required. The fluid should only be
checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are
apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as an-
ticipated. Coordinate inspection efforts through an
authorized dealer.

150

Do not use chemical flushes in your
power steering system as the chemicals
can damage your power steering compo-

nents. Such damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.

WARNING!

Fluid level should be checked on a level
surface and with the engine off to pre-

vent injury from moving parts and to ensure
accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill. Use
only manufacturer's recommended power steer-
ing fluid.

If necessary, add fluid to restore to the proper indi-
cated level. With a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid
from all surfaces.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM
(TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn
the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle
recommended cold placard pressure.

The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about
0.07 BAR for every 7°C. This means that when the
outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will
decrease. Tire pressure should always be set based on
cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as the tire
pressure after the vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours, or driven less than 1.6 km after a
three hour period. The cold tire inflation pressure
must not exceed the maximum inflation pressure
molded into the tire sidewall. Refer to “Tires – General
Information” in “Technical Specifications” for informa-
tion on how to properly inflate the vehicle’s tires. The
tire pressure will also increase as the vehicle is driven.
This is normal and there should be no adjustment for
this increased pressure.

151

The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if
the tire pressure falls below the low-pressure warning
limit for any reason, including low temperature effects
and natural pressure loss through the tire.

The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire
pressure as long as the condition exists, and will not
turn off until the tire pressure is at or above the
recommended cold placard pressure. Once the low
tire pressure warning (Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale Light) illuminates, you must increase the tire pres-
sure to the recommended cold placard pressure in
order for the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light to
turn off.

NOTE: When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased to an additional 0.3 BAR above
the recommended cold placard pressure in order to
turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
The system will automatically update and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off once the
system receives the updated tire pressures. The vehicle
may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above
25 km/h in order for the TPMS to receive this informa-
tion.

• The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have been

established for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor
damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type,
and/or style.Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor
damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After using
an aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended
that you take your vehicle to an authorized deal-
ership to have your sensor function checked.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure,
always reinstall the valve stem cap.This will pre-
vent moisture and dirt from entering the valve
stem, which could damage theTire Pressure Moni-
toring Sensor.

152

NOTE:

• The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care

and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tire
failure or condition.

• The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure

gauge while adjusting your tire pressure.

• Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes

the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.

• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte-

nance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure using an accurate tire pressure
gauge, even if under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light.

• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pres-

sure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire
pressure in the tire.

BASE SYSTEM

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wire-
less technology with wheel rim mounted electronic
sensors to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors,
mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem,
transmit tire pressure readings to the receiver module.

NOTE: It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle
monthly and to maintain the proper pressure.

The TPMS consists of the following components:

• Receiver Module

• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors

• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings

The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime

will sound when tire pressure is low in one or more of
the four active road tires. Should this occur, you should
stop as soon as possible, check the inflation pressure of
each tire on your vehicle, and inflate each tire to the
vehicle’s recommended cold placard pressure value.

153

NOTE: When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased to an additional 0.3 BAR above
the recommended cold placard pressure in order to
turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
Once the system receives the updated tire pressures,
the system will automatically update and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 25 km/h in order for the TPMS to receive this
information.

Service TPMS Warning

When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid. The system fault will
also sound a chime. If the ignition switch is cycled, this
sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still
exists. The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
turn off when the fault condition no longer exists. A
system fault can occur due to any of the following:

1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to

facilities emitting the same Radio Frequencies as the
TPMS sensors.

2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting

that affects radio wave signals.

3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel

housings.

4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.

5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sen-

sors.

NOTE:

1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire pres-

sure monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will
not monitor the pressure in the compact spare tire.

2. If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road

tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure
warning limit, a chime will sound and the TPMS
Telltale Light will turn on upon the next ignition
switch cycle.

3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above

25 km/h, the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.

4. For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime

will sound and the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.

154

5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and

reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact
spare, the TPMS will update automatically and the
TPMS Telltale Light will turn off, as long as no tire
pressure is below the low-pressure warning limit in
any of the four active road tires. The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above
25 km/h in order for the TPMS to receive this
information.

TPMS Deactivation And Reactivation

The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with wheel and tire
assemblies that do not have TPMS Sensors, such as
when installing winter wheel and tire assemblies on
your vehicle.

To deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with those not equipped
with TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for at least
20 minutes above 25 km/h. The TPMS will chime and
the TPM Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid. Upon the next
ignition switch cycle, the TPMS will no longer chime or
turn on the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light.

To reactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with those equipped with
TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20
minutes above 25 km/h. The TPMS will chime and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds.

PREMIUM SYSTEM — (for versions/markets,
where provided)

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wire-
less technology with wheel rim mounted electronic
sensors to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors,
mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem,
transmit tire pressure readings to the receiver module.

NOTE: It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle
monthly and to maintain the proper pressure.

The TPMS consists of the following components:

• Receiver module

• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors

• Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System messages,

which display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)

• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light

155

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings

The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime

will sound when tire pressure is low in one or more of
the four active road tires. In addition, the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display a
graphic showing the pressure values of each tire with
the low tire pressure values in a different color. An
"Inflate Tire to XXX" message will also be displayed.

Should this occur, you should stop as soon as possible
and inflate the tires with low pressure (those displayed
in a different color in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s
recommended cold placard pressure value as shown in
the "Inflate Tire to XXX" message.

NOTE: When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased to an additional 0.3 BAR above
the recommended cold placard pressure in order to
turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
Once the system receives the updated tire pressures,
the system will automatically update, the graphic dis-
play in the EVIC will return to the original color, and
the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 25 km/h in order for the TPMS to receive this
information.

ServiceTPMS Warning

When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid. The system fault will
also sound a chime. In addition, the EVIC will display a
"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a minimum of
five seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value to indicate which sensor is not being
received.

If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault
no longer exists, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light will no longer flash, and the "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message will no longer display, and a pressure
value will display in place of the dashes. A system fault
can occur due to any of the following:

1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to

facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the
TPMS sensors.

2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting

that affects radio wave signals.

3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel

housings.

4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.

5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors.

156

The EVIC will also display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message for a minimum of five seconds when a system
fault related to an incorrect sensor location fault is
detected. In this case, the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message is then followed with a graphic display with
pressure values still shown. This indicates that the
pressure values are still being received from the TPM
sensors but they may not be located in the correct
vehicle position. The system still needs to be serviced
as long as the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message is
displayed.

NOTE:

1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire pres-

sure monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will
not monitor the pressure in the compact spare tire.

2. If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road

tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure
warning limit, upon the next ignition switch cycle,
the TPMS Telltale Light will remain on and a chime
will sound. In addition, the graphic in the EVIC will
still display a different color pressure value. An
"Inflate Tire to XXX" message will also be displayed.

3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above

25 km/h, the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. In addition,
the EVIC will display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message for a minimum of five seconds and then
display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.

4. For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime

will sound, the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid, and the
EVIC will display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" mes-
sage for a minimum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.

5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and

reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact
spare, the TPMS will update automatically. In addi-
tion, the TPMS Telltale Light will turn off and the
graphic in the EVIC will display a new pressure value
instead of dashes (- -), as long as no tire pressure is
below the low-pressure warning limit in any of the
four active road tires. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above 25 km/h in order
for the TPMS to receive this information.

157

TPMS Deactivation And Reactivation

The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with wheel and tire
assemblies that do not have TPMS Sensors, such as
when installing winter wheel and tire assemblies on
your vehicle.

To deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with those not equipped
with TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for 20
minutes above 25 km/h. The TPMS will chime and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. In addition,
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will
display a “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” text message, and
the graphic will display “- -“ in place of four tire
pressure values. Upon the next ignition switch cycle,
the TPMS will no longer chime or turn on the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light, or display the text
message in the EVIC. However, the graphic will still
display “- -.“

To reactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with those equipped with
TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20
minutes above 25 km/h. The TPMS will chime, the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds, the EVIC will display a “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” text message, and the graphic will display tire
pressure values to show that the TPMS is receiving
sensor data.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Transmitter and receivers operate on a carrier fre-
quency of 433.92 MHz as required by EEC regulations.
These devices must be certified to conform to specific
regulations in each individual country. Two sets of
regulations are involved: ETS (European Telecommuni-
cation Standard) 300–220, which most countries use,
and German BZT federal regulation 225Z125, which is
based on ETC 300–220 but has additional unique re-
quirements. Other defined requirements are noted in
ANNEX VI of COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 95/56/EC.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interference.

• This device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired op-
eration.

158

REAR PARK ASSIST (for
versions/markets, where
provided)

The Rear Park Assist system provides visual and audible
indications of the distance between the rear fascia and
a detected obstacle when backing up, e.g. during a
parking maneuver. Refer to “Park Assist System Usage
Precautions” for limitations of this system and recom-
mendations.

Park Assist will retain the last system state (enabled or
disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition
is changed to the ON/RUN position.

Park Assist can be active only when the shift lever is in
REVERSE. If Park Assist is enabled at this shift lever
position, the system will remain active until the vehicle
speed is increased to approximately 11 km/h or above.
The system will become active again if the vehicle
speed is decreased to speeds less than approximately
9 km/h.

PARK ASSIST SENSORS

The four Park Assist 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 30 cm up to 200
cm from the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal direc-
tion, depending on the location, type and orientation
of the obstacle.

PARK ASSIST WARNING DISPLAY

The Park Assist Warning screen will only be displayed if
Sound and Display is selected from the Uconnect®
System. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings” for further
information.

The Park Assist Warning screen is located within the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). It pro-
vides visual warnings to indicate the distance between
the rear fascia/bumper and the detected obstacle. Re-
fer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/
Settings” for further information.

159

PARK ASSIST DISPLAY

When the vehicle is in REVERSE, the warning display
will turn ON indicating the system status.

(fig. 113)

(fig. 114)

The system will indicate a detected obstacle by show-
ing three solid arcs and will produce a one-half second
tone. As the vehicle moves closer to the object, the
EVIC display will show fewer arcs and the sound tone
will change from slow, to fast, to continuous.
