TURNS AND BENDS

When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the

system may increase or decrease the vehicle

speed for stability, with no vehicle ahead detected.

Once the vehicle is out of the curve, the system will

resume your original set speed. This is a part of

normal ACC system functionality.

NOTE:

On tight turns ACC performance may be limited.

USING ACC ON HILLS

ACC performance may be limited when driving on

hills. ACC may not detect a vehicle in your lane

depending on the speed, vehicle load, traffic

conditions, and the steepness of the hill.

ACC Hill Example

LANE CHANGING

ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely

in the lane in which you are traveling. In the lane

changing example below, ACC has not yet detected

the vehicle changing lanes and it may not detect

the vehicle until it's too late for the ACC system to

take action. ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is

completely in the lane. There may not be sufficient

distance to the lane-changing vehicle. Always be

attentive and ready to apply the brakes if

necessary.

Lane Changing Example

NARROW VEHICLES

Some narrow vehicles traveling near the outer

edges of the lane or edging into the lane are not

detected until they have moved fully into the lane.

There may not be sufficient distance to the vehicle

ahead.

Narrow Vehicle Example

STARTING AND OPERATING

STATIONARY OBJECTS AND VEHICLES

ACC does not react to stationary objects or

vehicles. For example, ACC will not react in

situations where the vehicle you are following exits

your lane and the vehicle ahead is stopped in your

lane. It will consider this stopped vehicle a

stationary object as it did not previously detect

movement from it. Always be attentive and ready

to apply the brakes if necessary.

Stationary Object And Stationary Vehicle Example

PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST

SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

The ParkSense Park Assist system provides visual

and audible indications of the distance between

the rear and/or front fascia/bumper and a

detected obstacle when backing up or moving

forward (e.g. during a parking maneuver). If your

vehicle is equipped with the automatic braking

function, the vehicle brakes may be automatically

applied and released when the vehicle is in

REVERSE if the system detects a possible collision

with an obstacle.

NOTE:



The driver can disable the automatic braking

function by turning ParkSense off via the Park

-

Sense switch. The driver can also override auto

-

matic braking by changing the gear or by

pressing the gas pedal over 90% of its capacity

during the braking event.



Automatic brakes will not be available if the

vehicle is in 4WD Low.



Automatic brakes will not be available if there is

a fault in the brake module.



Automatic brakes will not be available if there is

a faulted condition detected with the ParkSense

Park Assist system or the Braking System.



The automatic braking function may only be

applied if the vehicle deceleration is not enough

to avoid colliding with a detected obstacle.



The automatic braking function may not be

applied fast enough for obstacles that move

toward the rear of the vehicle from the left

and/or right sides.



The automatic braking function can be

enabled/disabled from the Customer Program

-

mable Features section of the Uconnect system.



ParkSense will retain its last known configura

-

tion state for the automatic braking function

through ignition cycles.



Trailer hitch ball assembly may cause false

braking events if left attached after towing.

The automatic braking function is intended to

assist the driver in avoiding possible collisions with

detected obstacles when backing up in REVERSE

gear.

STARTING AND OPERATING

189

NOTE:



The system is provided to assist the driver and

not to substitute the driver.



The driver must stay in full control of the

vehicle's acceleration and braking and is

responsible for the vehicle's movements.

For limitations of this system and usage

precautions, see

Ú

page 193.

ParkSense will retain the last system state

(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle

when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
ParkSense can be active only when the gear

selector is in REVERSE or DRIVE. If ParkSense is

enabled while in one of these gears, the system will

remain active until the vehicle speed is increased

to approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. A

warning will appear in the instrument cluster

display indicating the vehicle speed is above

ParkSense operating speed while in REVERSE. The

system will become active again if the vehicle

speed is decreased to speeds less than

approximately 6 mph (9 km/h).

The four ParkSense sensors (six if equipped with

Active Parksense), located in the front fascia/

bumper, monitor the area in front of the vehicle

that is within the sensors’ field of view, and the four

ParkSense sensors, located in the rear fascia/

bumper, monitor the area behind the vehicle that

is within the sensors’ field of view. The front

sensors can detect obstacles from approximately

12 inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches (120 cm) from

the front fascia/bumper. The rear sensors can

detect obstacles from approximately 12 inches

(30 cm) up to 79 inches (200 cm). These distances

depend on the location, type and orientation of the

RECAUTIONS

NOTE:



Ensure that the front and rear fascias/bumpers

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 Front or Rear ParkSense off, the

instrument cluster display will show a vehicle

graphic of the Front or Rear ParkSense on/off

state for two seconds. Furthermore, once you

turn Front or Rear 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 Front or Rear ParkSense

is turned off, the instrument cluster display will

show a vehicle graphic with "OFF" in the corre

-

sponding side. This vehicle graphic will be

displayed 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 obstacles such as bicycle carriers,

trailer hitches, etc. are placed near the rear

fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can result in the

system misinterpreting a close obstacle as a

sensor problem, causing the “PARKSENSE

UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” message to

be appear in the instrument cluster display.



ParkSense should be disabled when the tailgate

is in the lowered or open position. A lowered tail

-

gate could provide a false indication that an

obstacle is behind the vehicle and could also

cause a false braking event.



The Rear ParkSense system will automatically

disable when the system detects that a trailer

with trailer brakes has been connected to the

Integrated Trailer Brake Module.



The Front ParkSense system will automatically

disable if a snow plow has been connected to

the vehicle.

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/bumper 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, and give a

false indication that an obstacle is behind the

vehicle, and could cause false braking.

STARTING AND OPERATING

PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST

SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is

intended to assist the driver during parallel and

perpendicular parking maneuvers by identifying a

proper parking space, providing audible/visual

instructions through the instrument cluster

display, and controlling the steering wheel. The

ParkSense Active Park Assist system is defined as

“semi-automatic” since the driver maintains

control of the accelerator, gear selector and

brakes. Depending on the driver's parking

maneuver selection, the ParkSense Active Park

Assist system is capable of maneuvering a vehicle

into a parallel or a perpendicular parking space on

either side (i.e., driver side or passenger side).

NOTE:



The driver is always responsible for controlling

the vehicle, responsible for any surrounding

objects, and must intervene as required.



The system is provided to assist the driver and

not to substitute the driver.



During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the driver

touches the steering wheel after being

instructed to remove their hands from the

steering wheel, the system will cancel, and the

driver will be required to manually complete the

parking maneuver.



The system may not work in all conditions

(e.g. environmental conditions such as heavy

rain, snow, etc., or if searching for a parking

space that has surfaces that will absorb the

ultrasonic sensor waves).



New vehicles from the dealership must have at

least 30 miles (48 km) accumulated before the

ParkSense Active Park Assist system is fully cali

-

brated and performs accurately. This is due to

the system’s dynamic vehicle calibration to

improve the performance of the feature.



The driver must control the vehicle’s brakes.

The automatic emergency braking feature is

NOT intended to substitute for the driver during

REVERSE maneuvers.

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, tailgates, 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.
The system may then instruct the driver to wait for

steering to complete before then instructing to

check surroundings and move backward.



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.

PERATION

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 into 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

LaneSense system will monitor if the driver’s

hands are on the steering wheel and provide an
