STARTING AND OPERATING299
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 posi -
tion 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 Lane
-
Sense 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 (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.
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 indica -
tion that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
CAUTION!
ParkSense 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 ParkSense 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 ParkSense.

NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with 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/Medium/Late)
that you can configure through the Uconnect
system screen. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information. 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 warn
-
ings.
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.).
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA
Your vehicle may be equipped with the
ParkView Rear Back Up Camera that allows you
to see an image of the rear surroundings of your
vehicle whenever the gear selector is put into
REVERSE or whenever it is initiated through the
"Backup Camera" button in the "Controls"
menu. Whenever the gear selector is put into
REVERSE, the image will be displayed in the
rearview mirror display (if equipped) or Ucon -
nect screen (if equipped). If the image is
displayed in the Uconnect screen, a caution
note to “check entire surroundings” will display across the top of the screen. After five seconds
this note will disappear.
Manual Activation Of The Rear View Camera:

1. Press the "Controls" button located on the
bottom of the Uconnect display.

2. Press the "Backup Camera" button to turn the Rear View Camera system on.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE
(with Camera delay turned off), the rear Camera
mode is exited and the previous screen appears
again.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE
(with Camera delay turned on), the rear Camera
image will be displayed for up to 10 seconds
after shifting to another gear, unless the vehicle
speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h), the transmis- sion is shifted into PARK, the ignition is placed
in the OFF position, or the touchscreen button
“X” to disable display of the Rear View Camera
image is pressed.
Whenever the Rear View Camera image is acti -
vated through the "Backup Camera" button in
the "Controls" menu, and the vehicle speed is
greater than, or equal to, 8 mph (13 km/h), a display timer for the image is initiated. The
