154STARTING AND OPERATING
If an obstacle is detected in the left and/or right rear region, the display will show a single arc in the left and/or right rear region and the system will produce a
tone. As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the display will show the single arc moving closer to the vehicle and the tone will change from a single
1/2 second tone to slow, to fast, to continuous.
The vehicle is close to the obstacle when the display shows one flashing arc and sounds a continuous tone. The following chart shows the warning alert operation
when the system is detecting an obstacle:
NOTE:ParkSense will reduce the volume of the radio, if on, when the system is sounding an audio tone.

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.
Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense
system off if obstacles such as bicycle carriers,
trailer hitches, etc. are placed within 18 inches
(45 cm) of the rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do
so can result in the system misinterpreting a
close obstacle as a sensor problem, causing the
“Front/Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service
Required” message to be appear in the instru
-
ment cluster display.
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 drifts out of the lane (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, 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 torque to the steering wheel at
any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and
the driver drifts across that 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 (torque) warning will not be provided.
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 recom -
mended that the ball mount and hitch ball
assembly be 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 vehicle 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.
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 recom -
mended that the driver looks over his/her
shoulder when using ParkSense.
WARNING!

STARTING AND OPERATING157
NOTE:When operating conditions have been met, the
LaneSense 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.
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.

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.
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.

System ON (Gray Lines) With White Telltale

Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
When the LaneSense system is on, the Lane-
Sense Telltale 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 Crossed (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.

158STARTING AND OPERATING
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
situation, 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 Approached (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. For example: If approaching the left side of the
lane the steering wheel will turn to the right.

Lane Crossed (Flashing Yellow Lane Line) With Flashing Yellow Telltale
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 (Low/Medium/High) of the torque
warning and the warning zone sensitivity (Early/
Medium/Late) that you can configure through the
Uconnect system Ú page 191.
NOTE:
When enabled the system operates above
37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph
