During the maneuver, the system asks to
shift to REVERSE, select the direction indi-
cator in the direction you want to exit. Let go
of the steering wheel and press the dedi -
cated pedals, while the system handles the
steering automatically for exiting the parking
space. If the driver continues to carry out a
voluntary or involuntary action on the
steering wheel during the exit maneuver
(touching or holding the steering wheel to
prevent its movement), the maneuver will be
interrupted.
End Of Maneuver
The semi-automatic maneuver ends when
the display shows the message of a
completed maneuver. At the end of the
maneuver, the system gives back the vehicle
control to the driver.
Important Information
If the sensors undergo impact which alters
their position, the system operation could
be greatly affected.
The sensors reach top performance after
the vehicle has gone about 30 miles
(50 km) due to the dynamic tire circum -
ference calculations used for parking.
Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly,
taking care not to scratch or damage them.
The sensors must not be covered with ice,
snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris. Failure to
do so can result in the system not working
properly. The ParkSense system might not
detect an obstacle behind or in front of the
fascia/bumper, or it could provide a false
indication that an obstacle is behind or in
front of the fascia/bumper.
Construction equipment, large trucks, and
other vibrations could affect the perfor -
mance of ParkSense.
Sensors may detect a nonexistent obstacle
(echo noise) due to mechanical noises, for
example while washing the vehicle or in
the case of rain, strong wind, and hail.
The sensors may not detect objects of a
particular shape or made from particular
materials (very thin poles, trailer beams,
panels, nets, bushes, anti-parking posts,
pavements, rubbish bins, motor vehicles,
etc.). Always take great care to check that
the vehicle and its path are actually
compatible with the parking place identi -
fied by the system.
The use of wheels and tires that are
different size to the original equipment
could affect the operation of the system.
The operation of the rear sensors is auto-
matically deactivated when the trailer's
electric plug is inserted in the vehicle's
tow hook socket, while the front sensors
stay active and can provide acoustic and
visual warnings. The rear sensors are auto-
matically reactivated when the trailer's
cable plug is removed.
In "Search in progress" mode, the system
could incorrectly identify a parking place
to carry out the maneuver (e.g. by a junc-
tion, driveways, roads crossing the direc-
tion of travel, etc.).
In the case of parking maneuvers on roads
on a slope, the performance of the system
could be inferior and it may deactivate.
If a parking maneuver is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside the
pavement, the system may cause the
vehicle to mount the pavement.
Some maneuvers at very tight bends might
be impossible to be carried out.

STARTING AND OPERATING
162
Take great care to ensure that conditions
do not change during the parking
maneuver (e.g. if there are persons and/or
animals in the parking place, moving vehi-
cles, etc.) and intervene immediately if
necessary.
During parking maneuvers, pay attention
to vehicles approaching from the opposite
direction. Always abide by the law and
road regulations.
NOTE:
Correct system operation is not guaranteed
if snow chains or the space-saver wheel
are fitted.
The function only informs the driver about
the last appropriate parking place (parallel
or perpendicular) detected by the parking
sensors.
Some messages displayed are accompa-
nied by acoustic warnings.
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.
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 warning in the form
of torque applied to the steering wheel, as
well as a visual warning in 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
provide 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 default status of LaneSense is
“Off”.
The LaneSense button is located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect display.
To turn the LaneSense system on, push the
LaneSense button (LED turns off). A “Lane
Sense On” message is shown in the instru -
ment cluster display.
To turn the LaneSense system off, push the
LaneSense button again (LED turns on).
NOTE:
The LaneSense system will retain the last
system state on or off from the last ignition
cycle when the ignition is changed to the ON/
RUN position.
LaneSense Warning Message
The LaneSense system will indicate the
current lane drift condition through the
instrument cluster display.

Base Instrument Cluster Display — If Equipped
When the LaneSense system is on, the lane
lines are grey when both of the lane bound-
aries have not been detected and the Lane -
Sense telltale is solid white.
Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
When the LaneSense system is on, the
LaneSense telltale is solid white when
only the left lane marking has been
detected and the system is ready to
provide visual warnings in the instrument
cluster display if an unintentional lane
departure occurs.
When the LaneSense system senses the
lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes from white to grey, the left thin
line remains solid white and the Lane-
Sense telltale changes from solid white
to flashing yellow.
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the
similar behavior for a right lane departure
when only the right lane marking has been
detected. Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
When the LaneSense system is on, the
lane lines turn from grey to white to indi-
cate that both of the lane markings have
been detected. The LaneSense telltale
is solid green when both lane markings
have been detected and the system is
“armed” to provide visual warnings in the
instrument cluster display and a torque
warning in the steering wheel if an unin -
tentional lane departure occurs.
When the LaneSense system senses a lane
drift situation, the left thick lane line and
the left thin line turn solid white. The
LaneSense telltale changes from solid
green to solid yellow. At this time torque is
applied to the steering wheel in the oppo-
site direction of the lane boundary.
For example: if approaching the left side
of the lane the steering wheel will turn to
the right.
When the LaneSense system senses the

Changing LaneSense Status
The LaneSense system has settings to adjust
the intensity of the torque warning (Low/
Medium/High) and the warning zone sensi -
tivity (Early/Medium/Late) that you can
configure through the Uconnect system screen. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” in the Owner’s Manual for
further details.
NOTE:
The system will not apply torque to the
steering wheel whenever a safety system
engages (Anti-Lock Brakes, Traction
Control System, Electronic Stability
Control, Forward Collision Warning, etc.).
Use of the turn signals and Hazard
Warning flashers also suppresses the
warnings.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP
CAMERA — IF EQUIPPED
You can see an on-screen image of the rear
of your vehicle whenever the transmission is
shifted into REVERSE. The ParkView Rear
Back Up Camera image will be displayed on
the Uconnect Display, located on the center
stack of the instrument panel.
If the Uconnect Display appears foggy, clean
the camera lens located on the rear of the
vehicle above the rear license plate

Tongue Weight (TW)
The tongue weight is the downward force
exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer. You
must consider this as part of the load on your
vehicle.
Trailer Frontal Area
The frontal area is the maximum height
multiplied by the maximum width of the
front of a trailer.
Trailer Sway Control
The trailer sway control can be a mechanical
telescoping link that can be installed
between the hitch receiver and the trailer
tongue that typically provides adjustable fric-
tion associated with the telescoping motion
to dampen any unwanted trailer swaying
motions while traveling.
If equipped, the electronic Trailer Sway
Control (TSC) recognizes a swaying trailer
and automatically applies individual wheel
brakes and/or reduces engine power to
attempt to eliminate the trailer sway.
Weight-Carrying Hitch
A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer
tongue weight, just as if it were luggage
located at a hitch ball or some other
connecting point of the vehicle. These kinds
of hitches are the most popular on the
market today and they are commonly used to
tow small and medium sized trailers.
Weight-Distributing Hitch
A weight-distributing system works by
applying leverage through spring (load) bars.
They are typically used for heavier loads to
distribute trailer tongue weight to the tow
vehicle's front axle and the trailer axle(s).
When used in accordance with the manufac -
turer's directions, it provides for a more level
ride, offering more consistent steering and
brake control thereby enhancing towing
safety. The addition of a friction/hydraulic
sway control also dampens sway caused by
traffic and crosswinds and contributes posi -
tively to tow vehicle and trailer stability. Trailer sway control and a weight distributing
(load equalizing) hitch are recommended for
heavier Tongue Weights (TW) and may be
required depending on vehicle and trailer
configuration/loading to comply with Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) requirements.
WARNING!
An improperly adjusted Weight Distrib
-
uting Hitch system may reduce
handling, stability, braking performance,
and could result in a collision.
Weight Distributing Systems may not be
compatible with Surge Brake Couplers.
Consult with your hitch and trailer manu -
facturer or a reputable Recreational
Vehicle dealer for additional informa-
tion.

WARNING!
Make certain that the load is secured in
the trailer and will not shift during travel.
When trailering cargo that is not fully
secured, dynamic load shifts can occur
that may be difficult for the driver to
control. You could lose control of your
vehicle and have a collision.
When hauling cargo or towing a trailer,
do not overload your vehicle or trailer.
Overloading can cause a loss of control,
poor performance or damage to brakes,
axle, engine, transmission, steering,
suspension, chassis structure or tires.
Safety chains must always be used
between your vehicle and trailer. Always
connect the chains to the hook retainers
of the vehicle hitch. Cross the chains
under the trailer tongue and allow
enough slack for turning corners.
Vehicles with trailers should not be
parked on a grade. When parking, apply
the parking brake on the tow vehicle. Put
the tow vehicle transmission in PARK. For
four-wheel drive vehicles, make sure the
transfer case is not in NEUTRAL. Always,
block or "chock" the trailer wheels.
WARNING! (Continued)
GCWR must not be exceeded.
Total weight must be distributed between
the tow vehicle and the trailer such that the
following four ratings are not exceeded
:
GVWR
GTW
GAWR

3. After pushing the Power Button, thesealant (white fluid) will flow from the
Sealant Bottle through the Sealant Hose
and into the tire.
NOTE:
Sealant may leak out through the puncture in
the tire.
If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within
0 – 10 seconds through the Sealant Hose:
1. Push the Power Button to turn the Tire Service Kit off. Disconnect the Sealant
Hose from the valve stem. Make sure the
valve stem is free of debris. Reconnect
the Sealant Hose to the valve stem.

Sealant Hose:
1. Continue to operate the pump until
sealant is no longer flowing through
hose (typically takes 30 - 70 seconds).
As the sealant flows through the Sealant
Hose, the Pressure Gauge can read as
high as 70 psi (4.8 Bar). The Pressure
Gauge will decrease quickly from
approximately 70 psi (4.8 Bar) to the
actual tire pressure when the Sealant
Bottle is empty.
2. The pump will start to inject air into the tire immediately after the Sealant Bottle
is empty. Continue to operate the pump
and inflate the tire to the cold tire infla -
tion pressure found on the tire and
loading information label located in the
driver-side door opening. Check the tire
pressure by looking at the Pressure
Gauge.
If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi (1.8
Bar) pressure within 15 minutes:
The tire is too badly damaged. Do not
attempt to drive the vehicle further. Call
for assistance. If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure
or is at least 26 psi (1.8 Bar) pressure within
15 minutes:
NOTE:
If the tire becomes over-inflated, push the
Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure
to the recommended inflation pressure
before continuing.
1. Push the Power Button to turn off the
Tire Service Kit.
2. Remove the speed limit label from the Tire Service Kit and place sticker on the
steering wheel.
3. Immediately disconnect the Sealant Hose from the valve stem, reinstall the

authorized dealer or tire service center.
5. Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the steering wheel after the tire has been
repaired.
6. Replace the Sealant Bottle at an autho -
rized dealer as soon as possible. Refer to
“Sealant Bottle Replacement”.
NOTE:
When having the tire serviced, advise the
authorized dealer or service center that the
tire has been sealed using the Tire Service
Kit.
WARNING!
The Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat
tire repair. Have the tire inspected and
repaired or replaced after using the Tire
Service Kit. Do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) until the tire is repaired or
replaced. Failure to follow this warning
can result in injuries that are serious or
fatal to you, your passengers, and others
around you. Have the tire checked as soon

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand
or snow, it can often be moved using a
rocking motion. Turn the steering wheel right
and left to clear the area around the front
wheels. For vehicles with automatic trans-
mission, push and hold the lock button on
the gear selector. Then shift back and forth
between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R) (for
automatic transmission) or SECOND GEAR
and REVERSE (for manual transmission)
while gently pressing the accelerator.
NOTE:
For vehicles with automatic transmission,
shifts between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R)
can only be achieved at wheel speeds of
5 mph (8 km/h) or less. Whenever the trans -
mission remains in NEUTRAL (N) for more
than two seconds, you must press the brake
pedal to engage DRIVE or REVERSE.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal
pressure that will maintain the rocking
motion without spinning the wheels or racing
the engine. NOTE:
Push the “ESC Off” switch (if necessary), to
place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system in “Partial Off” mode, before rocking
the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Brake
Control System” in “Safety” in the Owner’s
Manual for further information. Once the
vehicle has been freed, push the “ESC Off”
switch again to restore “ESC On” mode.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause damage, or even failure,
of the axle and tires. A tire could explode
and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
continuously without stopping when you
are stuck and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the wheels
may lead to transmission overheating
and failure. Allow the engine to idle with
the transmission in NEUTRAL for at
least one minute after every five
rocking-motion cycles. This will mini
-
mize overheating and reduce the risk of
clutch or transmission failure during
prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by
shifting between DRIVE/SECOND gear
and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels
faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drive -
train damage may result.
Revving the engine or spinning the
wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also
damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear
(no transmission shifting occurring).
