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 pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions,
and blind spots before backing up and moving for-
ward. 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.
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.
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). It 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 while no turn signal
has been applied OR the driver departs the lane on the
opposite side of the applied turn signal (if the left turn
signal is applied and the vehicle departs to the right), 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. The LaneSense
system will also provide a visual warning through the
instrument cluster display to prompt the driver to remain
within the lane boundaries.
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 that lane marking (no turn
signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a visual
warning through the instrument cluster display to prompt
6
STARTING AND OPERATING 391

the driver to remain within the lane. When only a single
lane marking is detected, a haptic (torque) warning will not
be provided.
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 and visual
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.
Turning LaneSense On Or Off
The LaneSense button is located on the switch
panel below the Uconnect display.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with a 12–inch
Uconnect Display screen, the LaneSense button is located
above the display.
To turn the LaneSense system on, push the LaneSense
button (LED turns off). A “LaneSense On” message is
shown in the instrument cluster display. To turn the LaneSense system off, push the LaneSense
button again (LED turns on).
NOTE:
The LaneSense system will retain the last system
state on or off from the last ignition cycle when the ignition
is changed to the ON/RUN position.Lane Sense On Message
