WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve-
nience system. It is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always
the driver’s responsibility to be attentive
of road, traffic, and weather conditions,
vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead; and, most importantly, brake
operation to ensure safe operation of the
vehicle under all road conditions. Your
complete attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of
your vehicle. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary
objects (e.g., a stopped vehicle in a
traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and
may be limited upon adverse sight
distance conditions.

and release. The instrument cluster display
will show the set speed.
If the system is set when the vehicle speed is
below 19 mph (30 km/h), the set speed shall be defaulted to 19 mph (30 km/h). If the
system is set when the vehicle speed is
above 19 mph (30 km/h), the set speed shall
be the current speed of the vehicle.

NOTE:
ACC cannot be set if there is a stationary vehicle
in front of your vehicle in close proximity.
Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
If you do not, the vehicle may continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. If this
occurs:
The message “DRIVER OVERRIDE” will
appear in the instrument cluster display.
The system will not be controlling the
distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead. The vehicle speed will only
be determined by the position of the
accelerator pedal.
Resume
If there is a set speed in memory, push the
RES (resume) button and remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal. The instrument
cluster display will show the last set speed.
NOTE:
If your vehicle stays at standstill for longer

have to push the RES (resume) button or
apply the accelerator pedal to reengage
the ACC to the existing set speed.
ACC cannot be resumed if there is a
stationary vehicle in front of your vehicle
in close proximity.
Does not always fully recognize
complex driving conditions, which can result in wrong or missing
distance warnings.
Will bring the vehicle to a complete
stop while following a target vehicle
and hold the vehicle for approxi-
mately 3 minutes in the stop posi-
tion. If the target vehicle does not
start moving within 3 minutes the parking br ake will be activated, and
the ACC system will be cancelled.
You should switch off the ACC system:
When driving in fog, heavy rain,
heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving situations (i.e., inhighway construction zones).
When entering a turn lane or highway
off ramp; when driving on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, slip-
pery, or have steep uphill or downhill
slopes.
When towing a trailer up or down
steep slopes.
When circumstances do not allow
safe driving at a constant speed.

When you use the SET (-) button to decel -
erate, if the engine’s braking power does
not slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach
the set speed, the brake system will auto-
matically slow the vehicle.
The ACC system decelerates the vehicle to
a full stop when following a target vehicle.
If an ACC host vehicle follows a target
vehicle to a standstill, after two seconds
the driver will either have to push the RES
WARNING!
The Resume function should only be used
if traffic and road conditions permit.
Resuming a set speed that is too high or
too low for prevailing traffic and road
conditions could cause the vehicle to
accelerate or decelerate too sharply for

(resume) button, or apply the accelerator
pedal to reengage the ACC to the existing
set speed.
The ACC system maintains set speed when
driving uphill and downhill. However, a
slight speed change on moderate hills is
normal. In addition, downshifting may
occur while climbing uphill or descending
downhill. This is normal operation and
necessary to maintain set speed. When
driving uphill and downhill, the ACC
system will cancel if the braking tempera-
ture exceeds normal range (overheated).
Setting The Following Distance In ACC
The specified following distance for ACC can
be set by varying the distance setting
between four bars (longest), three bars

PARKSENSE REAR PARK
ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Rear Park Assist system
provides visual and audible indications of
the distance between the rear fascia and a
detected obstacle when backing up (e.g.
during a parking maneuver). The vehicle
brakes may be automatically applied and
released when performing a reverse parking
maneuver if the system detects a possible
collision with an obstacle. Refer to “Ucon
-
nect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for information on turning
Rear Braking Assist on or off.
Refer to “ParkSense System Usage Precau -
tions” in this section for limitations of this
system and recommendations.
ParkSense will retain the last system state
(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition
cycle when the ignition is changed to the ON/
RUN position.
ParkSense Sensors
The four ParkSense sensors, located in the
rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind
the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of
view. The sensors can detect obstacles from
approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to
79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction,
depending on the location, type and orienta -
tion of the obstacle.
ParkSense Warning Display
The ParkSense Warning screen will only be
displayed if Sound and Display is selected
from the Customer - Programmable Features
section of the Uconnect System.
Refer to "Uconnect Settings” in “Multi -
media” in the Owner’s Manual for further
information.
The ParkSense Warning screen is located
within the instrument cluster display. It
provides visual warnings to indicate the
distance between the rear fascia/bumper and
the detected obstacle.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in
the Owner’s Manual for further information.

Enabling And Disabling ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with
the ParkSense switch located below the
Uconnect display.When the ParkSense switch is
pushed to disable the system, the
instrument cluster will display the
“PARKSENSE OFF” message for
approximately five seconds. When the gear
selector is moved to REVERSE and the
system is disabled, the instrument cluster
display will display the “PARKSENSE OFF”
message for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in
your Owner’s Manual for further information.
The ParkSense switch LED will be on when
ParkSense is disabled or requires service.
The ParkSense switch LED will be off when
the system is enabled. If the ParkSense
switch is pushed, and the system requires
service, the ParkSense switch LED will blink
momentarily, and then the LED will be on.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
Ensure that the rear bumper is free of
snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the
ParkSense system operating properly.
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other
vibrations could affect the performance of
ParkSense.
When you turn ParkSense off, the instru -
ment cluster will display “PARKSENSE
OFF.” Furthermore, once you turn Park-
Sense off, it remains off until you turn it
on again, even if you cycle the ignition.
When you move the gear selector to the
REVERSE position and ParkSense is
turned off, the instrument cluster display
will display “PARKSENSE OFF” message
for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
ParkSense, when on, will reduce the
volume of the radio when it is sounding a
tone.
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 the fascia/
bumper, or it could provide a false indica-
tion that an obstacle is behind the fascia/
bumper.
Use the ParkSense switch to turn the
ParkSense system off if objects such as
bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc. are
placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the
rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a
close object as a sensor problem, causing
the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE
SERVICE REQUIRED” message to be
displayed in the instrument cluster
display.
ParkSense should be disabled when the
liftgate is in the open position and the
vehicle is in REVERSE. An open liftgate
could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the vehicle.

PARKSENSE FRONT AND
REAR PARK ASSIST — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides
visual and audible indications of the
distance between the rear and/or front fascia
and a detected obstacle when backing up or
moving forward (e.g. during a parking
maneuver). The vehicle brakes may be auto-
matically applied and released when
performing a reverse parking maneuver if the
system detects a possible collision with an
obstacle.
Refer to “ParkSense System Usage Precau -
tions” in “Starting And Operating” in the
Owner’s Manual for limitations of this system
and recommendations.
ParkSense will retain the last system state
(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition
cycle when the ignition is changed to the ON/
RUN position.
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 atten -
tion 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 contin -
uous 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.
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.

approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to
79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction,
depending on the location, type and orienta-
tion of the obstacle.
NOTE:
Vehicles equipped with Active Park Assist
will have six sensors in the rear fascia/
bumper.
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 obsta -
cles from approximately 12 inches (30 cm)
up to 47 inches (120 cm) from the front
fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction,
depending on the location, type and orienta -
tion of the obstacle. When an object is detected within 79 inches
(200 cm) behind the rear bumper while the
vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will appear
in the instrument cluster display. In addition
a chime will sound (when Sound and Display
is selected from the Customer Programmable
Features section of the Uconnect System
screen). 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.
Enabling And Disabling ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with
the ParkSense switch located below the
Uconnect display.
When the ParkSense switch is
pushed to disable the system, the
instrument cluster will display the
“PARKSENSE OFF” message for
approximately five seconds. When the gear
selector is moved to REVERSE and the

PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
intended to assist the driver during parallel
and perpendicular parking maneuvers by
identifying a proper parking space, providing
audible/visual instructions, and controlling
the steering wheel. The ParkSense Active
Park Assist system is defined as “semi-auto-
matic” since the driver maintains control of
the accelerator, gear selector and brakes.
Depending on the driver's parking maneuver
selection, the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system is capable of maneuvering a vehicle
into a parallel or a perpendicular parking
space on either side (i.e., driver side or
passenger side).
NOTE:
The driver is always responsible for
controlling the vehicle, responsible for any
surrounding objects, and must intervene
as required.
The system is provided to assist the driver
and not to substitute the driver.
During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the
driver touches the steering wheel after
being instructed to remove their hands
from the steering wheel, the system will
cancel, and the driver will be required to
manually complete the parking maneuver.
The system may not work in all conditions
(e.g. environmental conditions such as
heavy rain, snow, etc., or if searching for a
parking space that has surfaces that will
absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
New vehicles from the dealer must have at
least 30 miles (48 km) accumulated
before the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system is fully calibrated and performs
accurately. This is due to the system’s
dynamic vehicle calibration to improve the
performance of the feature. The system
will also continuously perform the
dynamic vehicle calibration to account for
differences such as over or under inflated
tires and new tires.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system can
be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense
Active Park Assist switch, located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect display. To enable the ParkSense Active
Park Assist system, push the Park
-
Sense Active Park Assist switch
once (LED turns on).
To disable the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, push the ParkSense Active Park
Assist switch again (LED turns off).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for further infor -
mation.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 LaneSense system
