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.
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 Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
or Driver Information Display (DID) to prompt the driver
to remain within the lane boundaries.
370 STARTING AND OPERATING

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 EVIC/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.
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 switch panel
below the Uconnect display.
To turn the LaneSense system ON, push the
LaneSense button (LED turns on). A “Lane Sense
On” message is shown in the EVIC/DID.
To turn the LaneSense system OFF, push the LaneSense
button once (LED turns off).
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.

372 STARTING AND OPERATING

Chime
By shifting the vehicle in REVERSE and in the case of the
presence of a rear obstacle, an acoustic signal that varies
with the distance of the obstacle from the bumper is
activated.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
•Increases with the distance between car and object
decreases.
•Becomes continuous when the distance that separates
the car from the obstacle is less than approximately 12
inches (30 cm), while terminates immediately if the
distance to the obstacle increases.
•Remains constant if the distance between car and
obstacle remains unchanged. If this situation occurs
for the side sensors, the signal is stopped after approxi-
mately three seconds to avoid, for example, it activates
in case of maneuver along a wall.When the system emits a beeping sound, the volume of
the Uconnect system, if turned on, is automatically
lowered by Rear ParkSense.
Detection Distances
If the sensors detect more obstacles, it is taken into
account only what is the shorter distance.
Instrument Cluster Display
Rear ParkSense is displayed on the instrument cluster
only if you have selected the itembeep and display
inside theSettingsmenu of the Uconnect system.
If an obstacle is detected in the center rear region, the
display will show a single solid arc in the center rear
region and will produce a one-half second tone. As the
vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the display will
show the single arc moving closer to the vehicle and the
sound tone will change from slow, to fast, to continuous.
382 STARTING AND OPERATING

If an obstacle is detected in the left and/or right rear
region, the display will show a single flashing arc in the
left and/or right rear region and will produce a fast
sound 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 fast to continuous.
In general, the car is closest to the obstacle when the
display shows only a flashing arc and the chime becomes
continuous.
The color on the display depends on the distance and
location of the obstacle.
Enabling And Disabling Rear ParkSense
Rear ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with the
Rear ParkSense switch.
When the Rear ParkSense switch is pressed to
disable the system, the instrument cluster will
display the “PARKSENSE DISABLED” messagefor approximately five seconds. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)” or “Driver Information Dis-
play (DID)” in “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel”
for further information. When the shift lever is moved to
REVERSE and the system is disabled, the EVIC/DID will
display the “PARKSENSE DISABLED” message for as long
as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
The Rear ParkSense switch LED will be ON when Rear
ParkSense is disabled or requires service. The Rear
ParkSense switch LED will be OFF when the system is
enabled. If the Rear ParkSense switch is pushed, and
requires service, the Rear ParkSense switch LED will
blink momentarily, and then the LED will be ON.
Rear ParkSense will remember the previous state when
the vehicle is switch off.

STARTING AND OPERATING 383

CAUTION!
After turning off the ignition, the Rear ParkSense
remains in this setting until the next key cycle, even
in the case of changing the setting of starting MAR/
RUN to STOP/OFF and then again in MAR/RUN.
Service The Rear ParkSense System
During vehicle start up, when the Rear ParkSense System
has detected a faulted condition, the instrument cluster
will actuate a single chime, once per ignition cycle, and it
will display the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE
REAR SENSORS” or the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE
SERVICE REQUIRED” message. Refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Information
Display (DID)” for further information. When the shiftlever is moved to REVERSE and the system has detected
a faulted condition, the EVIC/DID will display the
PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS
orPARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED
message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE. Under
this condition, Rear ParkSense will not operate.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SEN-
SORS” appears in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID) make
sure the outer surface and the underside of the rear
fascia/bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt
or other obstructions and then cycle the ignition. If the
message continues to appear, see an authorized dealer.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED”
appears in the EVIC/DID, see an authorized dealer.
384 STARTING AND OPERATING

ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
•Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of the
rear bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt
or other obstruction to keep the Rear ParkSense system
operating properly.
•Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of Rear ParkSense.
•Clean the Rear 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 Rear ParkSense system might
not detect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the fascia/bumper.•Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not be
placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close object as a
sensor problem, causing a failure indication to be
displayed in the instrument cluster.
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.

STARTING AND OPERATING 385

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 assem-
bly 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
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
could detect the ball mount and hitch ball assem-
bly, depending on its size and shape, giving a false
indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
If it’s necessary to keep the trailer hitch and hitch ball
assembly mounted for a long period, it is possible to filter
out the trailer hitch and hitch ball assembly presence in
sensor field of view. The filtering operation must be
performed only by an authorized dealer.
REAR BACK UP CAMERA — IF EQUIPPED
The Rear Back Up Camera that allows you to see an
on-screen image of your vehicle’s rear surroundings
when the shift lever is put into REVERSE. The image will
be displayed on the touchscreen display along with a
note to “check entire surroundings” across the top of the
screen. After five seconds this note will disappear. The
camera is located above the rear license plate.
