STARTING AND OPERATING159
When the vehicle is in DRIVE, the Side Distance Warning
volume/chime will match the Front ParkSense volume
and chime type.
When the vehicle is in REVERSE, the Side Distance
Warning volume/chime will match the Rear ParkSense
volume and chime type.
NOTE:Parksense will reduce the volume of the radio if on when
the system is sounding an audible tone. An audible tone
will only sound if a collision is possible.
Activation/Deactivation
The system can operate only after driving a short distance
and if the vehicle speed is between 0 and 7 mph
(0 and 11 km/h). The system can be activated/
deactivated via the Settings menu of the Uconnect
system. If the ParkSense System is deactivated via the
ParkSense hard switch then the Side Distance Warning
system will automatically be deactivated.
Message on the display for Side Distance Warning
feature:
“Wipe Sensors” — This message is displayed in the case of
a failure of the Side Distance Warning system sensors.
Free the bumpers of any obstacles, ensure that the front
and rear fascia/bumper are free of snow, ice, mud, dirt
and debris to keep the ParkSense system operating
properly.
“System Not Available” — This message is displayed if the
Side Distance Warning system is not available. The failed
operation of the system might be due to the insufficient
voltage from the battery or other failures on the electrical
system. Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible
to have the electrical system checked.
ParkSense Usage Precautions
Some conditions may influence the performance of the
Side Distance Warning system:
NOTE:
Ensure that the front and rear fascia/bumper are free
of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the Park -
Sense system operating properly.
 Construction equipment, large trucks, and other vibra -
tions could affect the performance of ParkSense.
 When you turn ParkSense off, the message to appear
in the instrument cluster display will read “PARKSENSE
OFF.” Furthermore, once you turn ParkSense off, it
remains off until you turn it on again, even if you cycle
the ignition.
 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 or in front of the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind or in front of the fascia/bumper.
 The presence of a tow hook without a trailer may inter -
fere with the correct operation of the parking sensors.
Before using the ParkSense system, it is recom -
mended to remove the removable tow hook ball
assembly and any attachments from the vehicle when
it is not used for towing operations.

The system may not work in all conditions (e.g. environ -
mental 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 dealership 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 perfor -
mance 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.
ENABLING AND DISABLING THE

168STARTING AND OPERATING
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.
 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.

170STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
The Active Lane Management system operates with
similar behavior for a right lane departure.
 If the turn signal is activated, and the vehicle begins to
depart the lane at the same time the Blind Spot Moni -
toring (BSM) system detects another vehicle in the
BSM zones, the system will provide haptic steering
wheel vibration and/or steering assist torque (if
programmed in Uconnect Settings).

DRIVING TIPS
ON-ROAD DRIVING TIPS
Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a
narrower track to make them capable of performing in a
wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design
characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than
conventional passenger cars.
An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better
view of the road, allowing you to anticipate problems. They
are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as
conventional passenger cars any more than low-slung
sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily in
off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt
maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control
or vehicle rollover.
OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS
Quadra-Lift — If Equipped
When off-roading, it is recommended that the lowest
useable vehicle height that will clear the current obstacle
or terrain be selected. The vehicle height should then be
raised as required by the changes in terrain.
The Selec-Terrain switch will automatically change the
vehicle to the optimized height based on the Selec-Terrain
switch position. The vehicle height can be changed from
the default height for each Selec-Terrain mode by normal
use of the air suspension switches
