ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE
• Your vehicle is equipped with a newElectric Park Brake System (EPB) that
offers greater convenience.
• The parking brake switch is located in the center console.
• To apply the park brake manually, pull up on the switch momentarily. The
BRAKE warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster and an indicator on the
switch will illuminate.
• To release the park brake manually, the ignition switch must be in RUN.
Then put your foot on the brake pedal
and push the park brake switch down
momentarily. Once the park brake is
fully disengaged, the BRAKE warning
lamp and the switch indicator will extinguish.
• The park brake can also be automatically released. With the engine running and the transmission in gear, release the brake pedal and depress the throttle pedal.
For safety reasons, your seatbelt must also be fastened.
• The new Auto Park Brake feature can be used to apply the park brake automati- cally every time you park the vehicle. Auto Park Brake can be enabled and disabled
in the Setting menu in UConnect
®.
• Safehold is a new feature that will automatically apply the park brake under certain conditions. The EPB monitors the status of the driver’s seat belt, driver’s
door and pedal positions to determine that you may have exited while the vehicle
is still capable of moving, and will then automatically apply the park brake to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
• Refer to the Starting and Operating section of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for further details.

PARKSENSE®
ParkSense® Front And Rear Park Assist
ParkSense®can be enabled and disabled by pressing the ParkSense®switch located
on the switch panel below the Uconnect®display.
The six ParkSense
®sensors, located in
the rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area
behind the vehicle that is within the sen-
sors’ field of view. The sensors can detect
obstacles from approximately 12 in
(30 cm) up to 79 in (200 cm) from the
rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal di-
rection, depending on the location, type
and orientation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense
®sensors, located in
the front fascia/bumper, monitor the area
in front of the vehicle that is within the
sensors’ field of view. The sensors can
detect obstacles from approximately
12 in (30 cm) up to 47 in (120 cm) from
the front fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, depending on the location, type and orientation of the obstacle.
When an object is detected within 2 meters behind the rear bumper while the vehicle
is in REVERSE, a warning will display in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC). In addition a chime will sound (when Sound and Display is selected from the
Customer Programmable Features screen of the Uconnect
®System). As the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the chime rate will change from single 1/2 second tone
(for rear only), to slow (for rear only), to fast, to continuous.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

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 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 loudspeaker 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.
LANESENSE
The LaneSense system can be enabled and disabled with the LaneSense button,
located on the switch panel below the Uconnect®display.
• Press the LaneSense button to turn the system ON (LED turns off).
The LaneSense system is operational at
speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and
below 112 mph (180 km/h). The La-
neSense system uses a forward looking
camera to detect lane markings and mea-
sure 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 to prompt the driver to
remain within the lane boundaries. If the driver continues to unintentionally drift out
of the lane, the LaneSense system provides a visual warning through the instrument
cluster to prompt the driver to remain within the lane boundaries.
LaneSense Button
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
48

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 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.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
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.
PARKVIEW® REAR BACK-UP CAMERA
You can see an on-screen image of the rear of your vehicle whenever the shift lever is
put into REVERSE. The ParkView®Rear Back-Up Camera image will be displayed on
the radio display screen, located on the center stack of the instrument panel.
If the radio display screen appears foggy, clean the camera lens located on the rear
of the vehicle above the rear license plate.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up; even when using the ParkView®Rear
Back-Up Camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to
check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before
backing up. You must continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof. Never leave children unattended in avehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Do not leave the Key Fob in or
near the vehicle, and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly
unattended children, can become entrapped by the power sunroof while
operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrapment may result in serious
injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat
belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury
may result.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any
window. This will minimize buffeting.

CAUTION!
It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the power transfer unit is fully
in NEUTRAL (N) before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.
WARNING!
You or others could be seriously or fatally injured if you leave the vehicle
unattended with the power transfer unit in the NEUTRAL (N) position without first
fully engaging the parking brake. The NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both the
front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move,
even if the transmission is in PARK. The parking brake should always be applied
when the driver is not in the vehicle.
Shifting Out of NEUTRAL (N)
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for normal usage.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, leaving it connected to the tow vehicle.
2. Apply the parking brake.
