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
unintentionally drifts out of the lane (no turn signal
applied), the LaneSense system provides a haptic warn-
ing 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 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 DID to prompt the driver toremain within the lane. When only a single lane marking
is detected, a haptic (torque) warning will not be pro-
vided.
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 LaneSense button is located on the center stack
below the Uconnect display.
To turn the LaneSense system ON, push the
LaneSense button to turn the system ON (LED
turns off). A “Lane Sense On” message is shown in the
DID.
