ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric Parking Brake System (EPB) that offers simple
operation, and some additional features that make the parking brake more convenient and useful.
The parking brake switch is located in the center console.
To engage the parking brake manually, pull up
on the switch momentarily.
To release the parking brake manually, the igni-
tion switch must be in the ON/RUN position.
Push on the brake pedal, then push the parking
brake switch down momentarily.
The parking brake will disengage automatically
when the ignition switch in the RUN position,
the transmission is in DRIVE or REVERSE, the
driver seat belt is buckled, and an attempt is
made to drive away by pressing the accelerator
pedal.
NOTE:
• You may hear a slight whirring sound fromthe back of the vehicle while the parking brake engages or disengages.
• Once the parking brake is fully engaged, the BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster and the LED indicator on the switch will illuminate. Once the parking brake is fully disengaged,
the BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster and the LED indicator on the switch will
extinguish.
• If your foot is on the brake pedal while you are engaging or disengaging the parking brake, you may notice a small amount of brake pedal movement.
• The parking brake can be engaged even when the ignition switch is OFF, however, it can only be disengaged when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position.
• The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the EPB switch is held for longer than 20 seconds in either the released or applied position. The light will extinguish upon releasing the switch.
• Refer to the Starting and Operating section of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further details.

CAUTION!
If the Brake System Warning Light remains on with the parking brake released, a brake system
malfunction is indicated. Have the brake system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.
WARNING!
• Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply theparking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or
damage.
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the
key fob from the vehicle, and lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the transmission gear selector.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, (or in a location accessible to children),
and do not leave the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving; failure to do so can lead to
brake failure and a collision.
• Always fully apply the parking brake when leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and cause
damage or injury. Also be certain to leave the transmission in PARK. Failure to do so may
allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury.
• Driving the vehicle with the parking brake engaged, or repeated use of the parking brake
to slow the vehicle may cause serious damage to the brake system.

PARKSENSE®
ParkSense® Front And Rear Park Assist
ParkSense® can be enabled and disabled by pressing the ParkSense® switch located on the switch
panel below the Uconnect® display.
The six ParkSense® sensors, located in the rear
fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind the
vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view.
The sensors can detect obstacles from approxi-
mately 12 in (30 cm) up to 79 in (200 cm) from
the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal direc-
tion, depending on the location, type and ori-
entation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense® sensors, located in the front
fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front of the
vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view.
The sensors can detect obstacles from approxi-
mately 12 in (30 cm) up to 47 in (120 cm) from
the front fascia/bumper in the horizontal direc-
tion, depending on the location, type and ori-
entation of the obstacle.
When an object is detected within 2 meters behind the rear bumper while the vehicle is in
REVERSE, a warning will display in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver
Information Display (DID). In addition a chime will sound (when Sound and Display is selected
from the Customer Programmable Features screen of the Uconnect® System). As the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the chime rate will change from single 1/2 second tone (for rear only),
to slow (for rear only), to fast, to continuous.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

ParkSense® Active Park Assist
The ParkSense® Active Park Assist system can be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense®
Active Park Assist switch, located on the switch panel below the Uconnect® display.
The ParkSense® Active Park Assist system is
intended to assist the driver during parallel and
perpendicular parking maneuvers by identify-
ing a proper parking space, providing audible/
visual instructions, and controlling the steering
wheel. The ParkSense® Active Park Assist sys-
tem is defined as “semi-automatic” since the
driver maintains control of the accelerator, shift
lever and brakes. Depending on the driver’s
parking maneuver selection, the ParkSense®
Active Park Assist system is capable of maneu-
vering a vehicle into a parallel or a perpendicu-
lar parking space on either side (i.e., driver side
or passenger side).
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for
further details.
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 intime when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver looks over his/her
shoulder when using ParkSense®.
WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using ParkSense®. Always checkcarefully 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 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.

LANESENSE
The LaneSense system can be enabled and disabled with the LaneSense button, located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect® display.
• Press the LaneSense button to turn the sys-tem ON (LED turns off ).
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 for-
ward looking camera to detect lane markings
and measure vehicle position within the lane
boundaries.
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 Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID) 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 the lane
marking (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a visual warning through the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID) 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.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
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.

PARKVIEW® REAR BACK-UP CAMERA
You can see an on-screen image of the rear of your vehicle whenever the shift lever is put into
REVERSE. The ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera image will be displayed on the radio display
screen, located on the center stack of the instrument panel.
If the radio display screen appears foggy, clean the camera lens located on the rear of the vehicle
above the rear license plate.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
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, obstructions, or blind spots before backing up. You must continue to
pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the rear
bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles etc.) that
enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will
illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the radio to
notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
