Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
When the LaneSense system is on, the Lane-
Sense telltale is solid white when only the left
lane marking has been detected and the system
is ready to provide visual warnings in the instru -
ment cluster display if a lane departure occurs.
When the LaneSense system senses the lane
has been approached and is in a lane departure
situation, the left lane line flashes yellow
(on/off), and the LaneSense telltale changes
from solid white to flashing yellow.

Lane Approached (Flashing Yellow Line/ Flashing Yellow Telltale)

NOTE:The LaneSense system operates with 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 gray to white to indicate 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 a lane departure
occurs.

Lanes Sensed (White Lines/Green Telltale)

When the LaneSense system senses a lane drift
situation, the left lane line turns solid yellow.
The LaneSense telltale changes from solid
green to solid yellow. At this time torque is
applied to the steering wheel in the opposite
direction of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of the
lane the steering wheel will turn to the right.

PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA
The ParkView Rear Back Up Camera allows you to
see an on-screen image of the rear surroundings of
your vehicle when the gear selector is put into
REVERSE. The image will be displayed on the
touchscreen display along with a note to “Check
Entire Surroundings” across the top of the screen.
After five seconds this note will disappear. The
ParkView camera is located on the rear of the
vehicle above the rear license plate.
Back Up Camera Location

When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE with
camera delay turned off, the rear camera mode is
exited and the navigation or audio screen appears
again.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE with
camera delay turned on, the camera image will
continue to be displayed for up to 10 seconds
unless the vehicle speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/
h), the vehicle is shifted into PARK, or the ignition
is placed in the OFF position.
A touchscreen button to disable the camera is
available when the vehicle is not in REVERSE.
Display of the camera image after shifting out of
REVERSE can be disabled via Uconnect Settings.
When enabled, active guidelines are overlaid on
the image to illustrate the width of the vehicle and
its projected backup path based on the steering
wheel position.

114STARTING AND OPERATING
Tongue Weight (TW)
The TW is the downward force exerted on the hitch
ball by the trailer. You must consider this as part of
the load on your vehicle.
Frontal Area
The frontal area is the maximum height multiplied
by the maximum width of the front of a trailer.
Trailer Sway Control — Mechanical
The trailer sway control is a telescoping link that
can be installed between the hitch receiver and the
trailer tongue that typically provides adjustable
friction associated with the telescoping motion to
dampen any unwanted trailer swaying motions
while traveling.
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 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 manufacturer'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 positively 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!
It is important that you do not exceed the
maximum front or rear GAWR. A dangerous
driving condition can result if either rating is
exceeded.
WARNING!
An improperly adjusted Weight Distributing
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 manufac-
turer or a reputable Recreational Vehicle
dealer for additional information.

TRAILER AND TONGUE WEIGHT
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight
stamped on your bumper or trailer hitch.

Weight Distribution

Consider the following items when computing the
weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:
The tongue weight of the trailer.
The weight of any other type of cargo or equip -
ment put in or on your vehicle.
The weight of the driver and all passengers.
NOTE:Remember that everything put into or on the trailer
adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional
factory-installed options or dealer-installed options
must be considered as part of the total load on
your vehicle. Refer to the tire and loading infor -mation placard for the maximum combined weight
of occupants and cargo for your vehicle.
TOWING REQUIREMENTS
To promote proper break-in of your new vehicle
drivetrain components, the following guidelines
are recommended:
WARNING!
Improper towing can lead to a collision. Follow
these guidelines to make your trailer towing as
safe as possible:
Make certain that the load is secured in the
trailer and that it 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, transmis
-
sion, steering, suspension, chassis structure,
or tires.

Safety chains must always be used between
your vehicle and trailer. Always connect the
chains to the frame or 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 trans -
mission in PARK. Always block or "chock" the
trailer wheels.
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

Brake Control Sensitivity The Full Brake Control System Sensitivity setting determines at what relative
distance the vehicle directly in front of you needs to be at before the system
warns you of a possible collision, based on the option selected. “Far” gives
you the most amount of reaction time, whereas “Near” gives you the least
amount of reaction time, based on the distance between the two vehicles.
“Med” gives you a reaction time in between Near and Far.
LaneSense Warning The LaneSense Warning setting determines at what distance the Lane Control
system warns you, through steering wheel feedback, of a possible lane
departure.

Blind Spot Assist When the Blind Spot Assist feature is selected, the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)
system is activated and shows a visual alert in the outside mirrors, or it shows
a visual alert in the outside mirrors and sounds an audible alert when the turn
signal is on. When “Off” is selected, the BSM system is deactivated. If your
vehicle has experienced any damage in the area where the sensor is located,
even if the fascia/bumper is not damaged, the sensor may have become
misaligned. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer to verify sensor
alignment. A sensor that is misaligned results in the BSM not operating to
specification.
Rear View Camera Delay The Rear View Camera Delay setting determines whether or not the screen
displays the rear view image with dynamic grid lines for up to 10 seconds after
the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE. This delay is canceled if the vehicle’s
speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h), the transmission is shifted into PARK, or the
ignition is switched to the OFF position.
Active Rear View Camera Guidelines The Active Rear View Camera Guidelines feature overlays the Rear View
Camera image with active, or dynamic, grid lines to help illustrate the width of
the vehicle and its projected backup path, based on the steering wheel
position when the option is checked. A dashed center line overlay indicates
the center of the vehicle to assist with parking or aligning to a hitch/receiver.
