STARTING AND OPERATING169
Once active steering begins, a camera image will
display in the Uconnect display with prompts that
will display for the duration of the maneuver.

Parking Space Found — Keep Moving Forward

Once the vehicle is in position, you will be
instructed to stop the vehicle’s movement and
remove your hands from the steering wheel. When
the vehicle comes to a standstill (your hands still
removed from the steering wheel), you will be
instructed to place the gear selector into the
REVERSE position.
Shift To Reverse — Parallel Parking Space
Shift To Reverse — Perpendicular Parking Space
The system may then instruct the driver to wait for
steering to complete before then instructing to
check the vehicle’s surroundings, and move
backward.
Several more gear shifts (DRIVE and REVERSE)
while keeping hands off of the steering wheel will
be instructed to the driver while checking the
vehicle’s surroundings before completing the
parking maneuver.
When the vehicle is in the parking position, the
maneuver is complete and the driver will be
instructed to check the vehicle's parking position,
then shift the vehicle into PARK. The message
“Active ParkSense Complete - Check Parking
Position” will be displayed momentarily.
NOTE:
It is the driver's responsibility to use the brake
and stop the vehicle. The driver should check
their surroundings and be prepared to stop the
vehicle either when instructed to, or when driver
intervention is required.
It is the driver’s responsibility to use the brake
and accelerator during the semi-automatic
parking maneuver.

170STARTING AND OPERATING
When the system instructs the driver to remove
their hands from the steering wheel, the driver
should check their surroundings and begin to
back up slowly.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will
allow a maximum of eight shifts between DRIVE
and REVERSE. If the maneuver cannot be
completed within eight shifts, the system will
cancel and the instrument cluster display will
instruct the driver to complete the maneuver
manually.
The system will cancel the maneuver if the
vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (7 km/h) during
active steering guidance into the parking space.
The system will provide a warning to the driver
at 3 mph (5 km/h) that tells them to slow down.
The driver is then responsible for completing the
maneuver if the system is canceled.
If the system is canceled during the maneuver
for any reason, the driver must take control of
the vehicle.EXITING THE PARKING SPACE
NOTE:The function does not work for exiting a perpen -
dicular parking space, but only exiting parallel
parking spaces.
Activation
To activate this function, push the Active
ParkSense switch once. After selection, the system
activates and warns the driver on the instrument
cluster display about the operations that have to
be carried out to perform the maneuver correctly.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when performing
parallel or perpendicular parking maneuvers
even when using the ParkSense Active Park
Assist system. Always check carefully behind
and in front of your vehicle, look behind and in
front of you, and be sure to check for pedes -
trians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions,
and blind spots before backing up and moving
forward. 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 the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, it is strongly recommended that the
ball mount and hitch ball assembly be discon -
nected 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 assembly, depending on its size and
shape, giving a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the vehicle.
CAUTION!
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system 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
the ParkSense Active Park Assist system 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 the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system.

STARTING AND OPERATING171
Selection Of The Maneuver Side
Use the direction indicators to choose the direction
that you want to perform the maneuver. Use the
right arrow indicator to perform the maneuver to
the right side and use the left arrow indicator to
perform the maneuver to the left.
During the maneuver, the system instructs the
driver to shift to REVERSE, and operate the turn
signal in the direction you want to exit. Let go of the
steering wheel and use the brake or accelerator
pedals as instructed, 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.

Shift To Reverse Then Move Backward Shift To Drive Then Move Forward

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.
ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT OPERATION
The Active Lane Management (ALM) system uses a
forward facing camera to detect lane markings or
road edges and to measure vehicle position within
the lane boundaries. It also uses the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) sensors to detect vehicles in
adjacent lanes while the driver is preparing to
change lanes. The system is operational at speeds above 37 mph
(60 km/h) and below 112 mph (180 km/h).
When both lane markings are detected, and the
vehicle approaches (or crosses) the lane marking
with no turn signal applied, and the blind spot zone
is not occupied, the ALM system provides warnings
to prompt the driver to remain within the lane
boundaries. These warnings include a visual
warning in the instrument cluster along with
steering assist torque (if configured in Uconnect
Settings).
If the driver crosses the lane marking, the system
will either guide the vehicle back to the center of
the lane, provide a vibration in the steering wheel,
or both, depending on radio settings.
When both lane markings are detected, and the
driver uses the turn signal to indicate a lane
change, and a vehicle is detected in the BSM zone
on that side of the vehicle, the ALM system
provides a warning in the form of steering assist
and/or steering vibration (depending on radio
settings) to guide the vehicle back to the center of
the lane.NOTE:
The system will suppress visual warnings,
steering vibration (if selected in radio settings),
and steering assistance (if selected in radio
settings) when the driver activates the turn
signal, the blind spot zone is clear of vehicles,
and a lane change is occurring.
4

23_WL_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 171

172STARTING AND OPERATING
If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
detects a vehicle in the adjacent lane, and the
turn signal is applied in that direction, the BSM
LED on the mirror will flash. If the driver
continues to attempt the lane change, steering
wheel torque will be provided to keep the
vehicle within its lane markings.
The driver may manually override the steering
assist warning by applying force to the steering
wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and
the driver drifts across the lane marking (no turn
signal applied), the Active Lane Management
system provides a visual warning in the instrument
cluster, as well as a steering assist torque (if
configured in Uconnect Settings), to prompt the
driver to remain within the lane boundaries. If the
driver continues to drift out of the lane, the system
provides a flashing visual warning through the
instrument cluster display as well as a haptic
steering wheel vibration (if configured in Uconnect
Settings) when the vehicle crosses the lane
boundary.
NOTE:When operating conditions have been met, the
Active Lane Management system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and
provides an audible and visual warning to the
driver if removed. The system will cancel if the
driver does not return their hands to the wheel.
TURNING ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT

ESSAGE
The Active Lane Management system will indicate
the current lane drift condition through the
instrument cluster display.
When the system is on, the lane lines are gray
when both of the lane boundaries have not been
detected.
System On (Gray Lines)

Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
When the system is on and only the left lane
marking has been detected, and the system is
ready to provide visual warnings in the instru-
ment cluster display and a vibration and/or
steering assist warning in the steering wheel if a
lane departure occurs, the left lane line will be
green.
When the system senses the lane line has been
approached (but not crossed), the left lane line
will change to solid yellow and the system will
provide a haptic steering wheel vibration and/or
steering assist torque (if programmed in
Uconnect Settings).
When the system senses the lane line is being
crossed, the left lane line will change to flashing
yellow.

23_WL_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 172

STARTING AND OPERATING173

Lane Crossed (Flashing Yellow Line)

NOTE:The Active Lane Management 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 system is on, the lane lines turn from
gray to green to indicate that both of the lane
markings have been detected. When both lane
markings have been detected, the system is
ready to provide visual warnings in the instru -
ment cluster display and a vibration and/or
steering assist warning in the steering wheel if a
lane departure occurs.
Lanes Sensed (Green Lines)

When the system senses a lane drift situation,
the left lane line turns solid yellow. At this time,
steering assist warning 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.

Lane Drift (Solid Yellow Line)
When the system senses the lane line is being
crossed, the left lane line changes from solid
yellow to flashing yellow (on/off). At this time,
vibration is applied to the steering wheel.
For example: If approaching the left side of the
lane, the steering wheel will turn to the right.

Lane Crossed (Flashing Yellow Line)
