Operation With A Trailer

For vehicles equipped with an Integrated Trailer Brake
Module (ITBM), the operation of the rear sensors is auto-
matically deactivated when the trailer’s electric plug is
inserted in the vehicle’s tow hook socket. The front system
is still functional, and the arcs will be overlaid with a

⬙Trailer⬙ message. The rear sensors are automatically reac-
tivated when the trailer’s cable plug is removed.

When the vehicle is connected to a trailer, the instrument
cluster display will show the

⬙Rear ParkSense Unavailable

322

STARTING AND OPERATING

Cleaning The ParkSense System

Clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car wash soap and
a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not scratch
or poke the sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the
sensors.

ParkSense System Usage Precautions

NOTE:
• Ensure that the front and rear bumper are free of snow,

ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the ParkSense system
operating properly.

• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could

affect the performance of ParkSense.

• When you turn ParkSense off, the instrument cluster

will display “PARKSENSE OFF.” Furthermore, once you
turn ParkSense off, it remains off until you turn it on
again, even if you cycle the ignition.

• When you move the gear selector to the REVERSE

position and ParkSense is turned off, the instrument
cluster will display “PARKSENSE OFF” for as long as
the vehicle is in REVERSE.

• 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.

• Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense system

off if objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc.
are placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the rear
fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can result in the system
misinterpreting a close object as a sensor problem,
causing the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED” message to be displayed in the instrument
cluster.

• ParkSense should be disabled when the liftgate is in the

open position. An opened liftgate could provide a false
indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.

6

STARTING AND OPERATING

323

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 respon-
sible 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 con-
tinuous 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 recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when using
ParkSense.

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.

324

STARTING AND OPERATING

When both lane markings are detected and the driver
unintentionally 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 to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane boundaries. If
the driver continues to unintentionally drift out of the lane,
the LaneSense system provides a visual warning through
the instrument cluster display to prompt the driver to
remain within the lane boundaries.

The driver may instructionly 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 the lane marking (no turn
signal applied), the LaneSense system provides visual
warnings 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 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 default status of LaneSense is off. The LED in Lane-
Sense button will be illuminated while the system is
deactivated.

The LaneSense button is located on the switch
panel below the Uconnect 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.

LaneSense On Message

STARTING AND OPERATING

325

To turn the LaneSense system off, push the LaneSense
button once (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.

LaneSense Warning Message

The LaneSense system will indicate the current lane drift
condition through the instrument cluster display.

Premium 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.

Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
• When the LaneSense system is on, the LaneSense 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.

• When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been

approached and is in a lane departure situation, the left
thick lane line flashes yellow (on/off), the left thin line
remains solid yellow and the LaneSense telltale

changes from solid white to flashing yellow.

System On (Gray Lines/White Telltale

)

326

STARTING AND OPERATING

NOTE:

The LaneSense system operates with the similar

behavior for a right lane departure when only the right
lane marking has been detected.

Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
• When the LaneSense system is on, the lane lines turn

from gray to white to indicate that both of the lane
markings have been detected. The LaneSense telltale

is solid green when both lane markings have been

detected and the system is on to provide visual

warnings in the instrument cluster display and a
torque warning in the steering wheel if an uninten-
tional lane departure occurs.

• When the LaneSense system senses a lane drift situation,

the left thick lane line and left thin line turn 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 (Flashing Yellow Thick Line, Solid

Yellow Thin Line/Flashing Yellow Telltale

STARTING AND OPERATING

327

• When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been

approached and is in a lane departure situation, the left
thick lane line flashes yellow (on/off) and the left thin
line remains solid yellow. 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.

NOTE:

The LaneSense system operates with the 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/late) that you can configure through the Uconnect
system screen. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multime-
dia” for further information.

328

STARTING AND OPERATING

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 warnings.
• The system will not apply torque to the steering wheel

whenever a safety system engages (anti-lock brakes,
traction control system, electronic stability control, for-
ward collision warning, etc.).

PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA

Your vehicle is equipped with the ParkView Rear Back Up
Camera that allows you to see an on-screen image of the
rear surroundings of your vehicle whenever the gear
selector is put into REVERSE. The image will be displayed
on the Navigation/Multimedia radio display screen along
with a caution note to “check entire surroundings” across
the top of the screen. After five seconds this note will
disappear. The ParkView camera is located on the rear of
the vehicle above the rear license plate.

When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (with camera
delay turned off), the rear camera mode is exited and the
navigation or audio screen appears again.

information.

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 camera
image will continue to be displayed for up to ten seconds
after shifting out of REVERSE unless the vehicle speed
exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h), the vehicle is shifted into PARK,
the vehicle’s ignition is cycled to the OFF position, or the
user presses image defeat [X] to exit out of the camera
video display.

When enabled, active guide lines are overlaid on the image
to illustrate the width of the vehicle and its projected

backup path based on the steering wheel position. A
dashed center line overlay indicates the center of the
vehicle to assist with parking or aligning to a hitch/
receiver. Different colored zones indicate the distance to the
rear of the vehicle.

The following table shows the approximate distances for
each zone:

Zone

Distance To The Rear Of The Vehicle

Red

0 - 1 ft (0 - 30 cm)

Yellow

1 ft - 6.5 ft (30 cm - 2 m)

Green

6.5 ft or greater (2 m or greater)

WARNING!

Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using the ParkView Rear Back Up Camera. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to
check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstruc-
tions, or blind spots before backing up. You are re-
sponsible for the safety of your surroundings and must
continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION!

• To avoid vehicle damage, ParkView should only be

used as a parking aid. The ParkView camera is
unable to view every obstacle or object in your drive
path.

• To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be driven

slowly when using ParkView to be able to stop in
time when an obstacle is seen. It is recommended
that the driver look frequently over his/her shoulder
when using ParkView.

NOTE:

If snow, ice, mud, or any foreign substance builds

up on the camera lens, clean the lens, rinse with water, and
dry with a soft cloth. Do not cover the lens.

Rear Camera — Viewing At Speed

When the vehicle is in park, neutral or drive, the Rear View
Camera can be activated with the “Rear View Camera”
button

in the Controls menu. This feature allows the

customer to monitor the area directly behind the vehicle
(or trailer, if equipped) for up to ten seconds while at
speed. If the vehicle speed remains below 8 mph
(13 km/h), the Rear View Camera image will be dis-
played continuously until deactivated via the “X” but-
ton on the touchscreen.
