FIAT Freemont - Manual (Page 131)

WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing
up even when using the ParkSense
®
Rear Park Assist system. Always check carefully
behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure
to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before backing up.
You are responsible for safety and must continue
to pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or death.
• Before using the ParkSense
® Rear Park Assist
system, it is strongly recommended that the ball
mount and hitch ball assembly is disconnected
from the vehicle when the vehicle is not used for
towing. Failure to do so can result in injury or
damage to vehicles or obstacles because the
hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than
the rear fascia when the warning display turns on
the single flashing arc and sounds the continuous
tone. Also, the sensors could detect the ball
mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its
size and shape, giving a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the vehicle.
PARKVIEW® REAR BACK UP
CAMERA — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the ParkView ®
Rear Back Up Camera that allows you to see an
on-screen image of the rear surroundings of your
vehicle whenever the shift lever is put into REVERSE.
The image will be displayed on the radio touchscreen
display along with a caution note to “check entire
surroundings” across the top of the screen. After five
seconds this note will disappear. The ParkView
® cam-
era is located on the rear of the vehicle above the rear
License plate.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE, the rear
camera mode is exited and the navigation or audio
screen appears again.
When displayed, static grid lines will illustrate the
width of the vehicle while a dashed center-line will
indicate the center of the vehicle to assist with parking
or aligning to a hitch/receiver. The static grid lines will
show separate zones that will help indicate the dis-
tance to the rear of the vehicle. The following table
shows the approximate distances for each zone:
Zone Distance to the rear of the vehicle
Red 0 - 30 cm
Yellow 30 cm - 1 m
Green 1 m or greater
124
