CAUTION! (Continued)
above or below the sensors will not be detected
when they are in close proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when using
ParkSense in order to be able to stop in time
when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended
that the driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using ParkSense.
If it's necessary to keep the trailer hitch and hitch ball
assembly mounted for a long period, it is possible to
filter out the trailer hitch and hitch ball assembly
presence in sensor field of view. The filtering operation
must be performed only by an authorized dealer.
LANESENSE — IF EQUIPPED

LaneSense Operation

The LaneSense system is operational at speeds above
37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph (180 km/h). The
LaneSense system uses a forward looking camera to
detect lane markings and measure vehicle position
within the lane boundaries.
STARTING AND OPERATING 251
When both lane markings are detected and the driver
unintentionally drifts out of the lane (no turn signal
applied), the LaneSense system provides a haptic warn-
ing in the form of torque applied to the steering wheel
to prompt the driver to remain within the lane bound-
aries. If the driver continues to unintentionally drift out
of the lane, the LaneSense system provides a visual
warning through the instrument cluster display to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic warning
by applying torque into the steering wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and the
driver unintentionally drifts across the lane marking
(no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides
a visual warning through the instrument cluster display
to prompt the driver to remain within the lane. When
only a single lane marking is detected, a haptic (torque)
warning will not be provided.
NOTE: When operating conditions have been met, the
LaneSense system will monitor if the driver's hands are
on the steering wheel and provides an audible warning
to the driver when the driver's hands are not detected
on the steering wheel. The system will cancel if the
driver does not return their hands to the wheel.
