• When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line flashes yellow (on/off) and the left thin
line remains solid yellow. The LaneSense indicator changes from solid yellow to
flashing 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.
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the similar behavior for a right lane departure.
Changing LaneSense Status
The LaneSense system has settings to adjust the intensity of the torque warning and
the warning zone sensitivity (early/late) that you can configure through the
Uconnect®system screen.
NOTE:
• When enabled the system operates above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph
(180 km/h).
• Use of the turn signal suppresses the warnings.
• 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.).
PARKSENSE® REAR PARK ASSIST
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.
ParkSense®will retain the last system state (enabled or disabled) from the last
ignition cycle when the ignition is changed to the MAR/RUN position.
ParkSense®can be active only when the shift lever/gear selector is in REVERSE. If
ParkSense®is enabled at this shift lever position, the system will remain active until
the vehicle speed is increased to approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. When in
REVERSE and above the system's operating speed, a warning will appear within the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID).

Enabling And Disabling ParkSense®
ParkSense®can be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense®switch.
When the ParkSense®switch is pressed to disable the system, the instrument cluster
will display the “PARKSENSE OFF” message for approximately five seconds. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” or “Driver Information Display (DID)”
in “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in your owner’s manual on the DVD for
further information. When the shift lever is moved to REVERSE and the system is
disabled, the EVIC/DID will display the “PARKSENSE OFF” message for as long as
the vehicle is in REVERSE.
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 requires service, the ParkSense®switch LED will
blink momentarily, and then the LED will be ON.
ParkSense will remember the previous state when the vehicle is switch off.
CAUTION!
After turning off the ignition, the ParkSense®remains in this setting until the next
key cycle, even in the case of changing the setting of starting MAR/RUN to
STOP/OFF and then again in MAR/RUN.
Service The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense®Rear Park Assist System has detected
a faulted condition, the instrument cluster will actuate a single chime, once per
ignition cycle, and it will display the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR
SENSORS” or the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” message.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display
(DID)” in your owner’s manual on the DVD for further information. When the shift
lever is moved to REVERSE and the system has detected a faulted condition, the
EVIC/DID will display the "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS" or
"PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED" message for as long as the
vehicle is in REVERSE. Under this condition, ParkSense®will not operate.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS” appears in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID) make sure the
outer surface and the underside of the rear fascia/bumper is clean and clear of snow,
ice, mud, dirt or other obstructions and then cycle the ignition. If the message
continues to appear, see an authorized dealer.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” appears in the EVIC/DID, see
an authorized dealer.

Park Assist System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
• Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of the rear bumper is clean and
clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction to keep the Rear Park Assist
system operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of
Rear Park Assist.
• Clean the Rear Park Assist 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 Rear Park Assist
system might not detect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it could provide
a false indication that an obstacle is behind the fascia/bumper.
• Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not be placed within 12 inches (30
cm) from the rear fascia/bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close object as a sensor problem, causing a
failure indication to be displayed in the instrument cluster.
CAUTION!
• Rear Park Assist 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 Rear Park Assist 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 Rear Park Assist.
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.
