STARTING AND OPERATING
•
Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense
system off if obstacles such as bicycle carriers,
trailer hitches, etc. are placed within 18 inches
(45 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do
so can result in the system misinterpreting a close
obstacle as a sensor problem, causing the "Front/
Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service Required" mes-
sage to be appear in the instrument cluster display.
•
On vehicles equipped with a tailgate, ParkSense
should be disabled when the tailgate is in the low-
ered or open position. A lowered tailgate could pro-
vide a false indication that an obstacle is behind the
vehicle.
WARNING!
•
Drivers must be careful when backing up even
when using ParkSense. 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 ParkSense, it is strongly recom-
mended that the ball mount and hitch ball assem-
bly be 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 vehicle
sounds the continuous tone. Also, the sensors
could detect the ball mount and hitch ball assem-
bly, depending on its size and shape, giving a false
indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
CAUTION!
•
ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is unable to
recognize every obstacle, including small
obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily
detected or not detected at all. Obstacles located
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.
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). It
uses a forward looking camera to detect lane markings
and measure vehicle position within the lane
boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and the driver
unintentionally drifts out of the lane while no turn signal
has been applied OR the driver departs the lane on the
opposite side of the applied turn signal (if the left turn
signal is applied and the vehicle departs to the right),
the LaneSense system provides a haptic warning in the
form of torque applied to the steering wheel to prompt
the driver to remain within the lane boundaries. The
LaneSense system will also provide 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 to the steering wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and the
driver unintentionally drifts across that lane marking
(no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system pro-
vides 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 Lane-
Sense system will monitor if the driver's hands are on
the steering wheel and provides an audible and visual
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.
TURNING LANESENSE ON OR OFF
The LaneSense button is located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect display.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with a 12-inch
Uconnect Display screen, the LaneSense button is
located above the display.
To turn the LaneSense system on, push the LaneSense
button (LED turns off). A "LaneSense On" message is
shown in the instrument cluster display.
