When pushed, the LED on the ParkSense Active Park 
Assist switch will blink momentarily, and then the LED will 
turn off if any of the above conditions are not present.
PARALLEL/PERPENDICULAR PARKING 
S
PACE ASSISTANCE OPERATION
When the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is enabled, 
the messages “Active ParkSense Searching - Press OK To 
Switch To Perpendicular Park” or “Active ParkSense 
Searching - Press OK to Switch to Parallel Park” will appear 
in the instrument cluster display. Push the OK button on 
the left side of the steering wheel to change your parking 
space setting. You can switch between perpendicular and 
parallel parking maneuvers.
Press OK to Switch to Perpendicular Park Press OK to Switch to Parallel Park
NOTE:
 When searching for a parking space, use the turn 
signal indicator to select which side of the vehicle you 
want to perform the parking maneuver. The ParkSense 
Active Park Assist system will automatically search for 
a parking space on the passenger's side of the vehicle 
if the turn signal is not activated.
 The driver needs to make sure that the selected 
parking space for the maneuver remains free and clear 
of any obstructions (e.g. pedestrians, bicycles, etc.).
 The driver is responsible to ensure that the selected 
parking space is suitable for the maneuver and 
free/clear of anything that may be overhanging or 
protruding into the parking space (e.g., ladders, tail-
gates, etc. from surrounding objects/vehicles).
 When searching for a parking space, the driver should 
drive as parallel or perpendicular (depending on the 
type of maneuver) to other vehicles as possible. 
The feature will only indicate the last detected parking 
space (example: if passing multiple available parking 
spaces, the system will only indicate the last detected 
parking space for the maneuver). A parking space is 
considered invalid after the vehicle is 32 ft (10 m) or 
more away from it.
When an available parking space has been found, and the 
vehicle is not in position, you will be instructed to move 
forward to position the vehicle for a perpendicular or 
parallel parking sequence (depending on the type of 
maneuver being performed).
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.

160STARTING AND OPERATING  
The system may then instruct the driver to wait for steering 
to complete before then instructing to check surroundings 
and move backward.
Move Backward Into Parallel Parking Space
Move Backward Into Perpendicular Parking Space
The system may instruct several more gear shifts
(DRIVE and REVERSE), with hands off of the steering 
wheel, before instructing the driver to check surroundings 
and complete 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 
accelerator during the semi-automatic parking 
maneuver.
 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.
 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.
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 
pedestrians, 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.
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’ field 
of view 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 
shoulders when using the ParkSense Active Park 
Assist system.

STARTING AND OPERATING161
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 
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 driver may manually override the haptic 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 
LaneSense system provides a visual warning through the 
instrument cluster display to prompt the driver to remain 
within the lane.
When only a single lane marking is detected, a haptic or a 
torque warning will not be provided.
NOTE:
 When operating conditions have been met, the Lane -
Sense system will monitor if the driver’s hands are on 
the steering wheel and provide 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.
 LaneSense will disable when a snowplow is connected 
to the vehicle.
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 
placed in the ON/RUN position.
LANESENSE WARNING MESSAGE
The LaneSense system will indicate the current lane drift 
condition through the instrument cluster display.
When the LaneSense system is on, the lane lines are gray 
when both of the lane boundaries have not been detected 
and the LaneSense telltale   is solid white.

162STARTING AND OPERATING  
Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
 
When the LaneSense system is on, the LaneSense Tell -
tale   is solid white when only the left lane marking 
has been detected and the system is ready to provide 
visual warnings in the instrument cluster display if an 
unintentional lane departure occurs on the left side.
 When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been 
approached and is in a lane departure situation, the 
visual warning in the instrument cluster display will 
show the left lane line flashing yellow (on/off). 
The LaneSense telltale   changes from solid white to 
flashing yellow.
Lane Approached (Flashing Yellow Lane Line) 
With Yellow Telltale
 NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with similar behavior for 
a right lane departure when only the right lane marking 
has been detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lane Lines Detected
 
 When the LaneSense system is on and both the lane 
markings have been detected, the system is "armed" to 
provide visual warnings in the instrument cluster 
display and a torque warning in the steering wheel if an 
unintentional lane departure occurs. The lane lines 
turn from gray to white and the LaneSense telltale   
is solid green.
Lanes Sensed (White Lines) 
With Green Telltale
 When the LaneSense system senses a lane drift situa -
tion, the left lane line turns solid yellow. The LaneSense 
telltale   changes from solid green to solid 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.
Lane Sensed (Solid Yellow Lane Line) 
With Solid Yellow Telltale
When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been 
approached and is in a lane departure situation, the 
left lane line flashes yellow (on/off). The LaneSense 
telltale   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.
