STARTING AND OPERATING
168
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, and controlling
the steering wheel. The ParkSense Active
Park Assist system is defined as “semi-auto-
matic” 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 dealer must have at
least 30 miles (48 km) accumulated
before the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system is fully calibrated and performs
accurately. This is due to the system’s
dynamic vehicle calibration to improve the
performance of the feature. The system
will also continuously perform the
dynamic vehicle calibration to account for
differences such as over or under inflated
tires and new tires.
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. To enable the ParkSense Active
Park Assist system, push the Park
-
Sense Active Park Assist switch
once (LED turns on).
To disable the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, push the ParkSense Active Park
Assist switch again (LED turns off).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for further infor -
mation.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 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 LaneSense system

NOTE:
The jack handle attaches to the side of the
jack with two attachment points. When the
jack is partially expanded, the tension
between the two attachment points holds the
jack handle in place.
7. Remove the spare tire.
Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface asfar from the edge of the roadway as
possible. Avoid icy or slippery areas. 2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Place the gear selector into PARK (P)
(automatic transmission) or REVERSE
(R) (manual transmission).
5. Turn the ignition OFF.
6. Chock both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking
position. For example, if changing the
right front tire, chock the left rear wheel.
Wheel Chocks NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle
when the vehicle is being raised or lifted.
Jacking Instructions
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire
repaired or replaced immediately.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side
of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull
far enough off the road to avoid being hit
when operating the jack or changing the
wheel.
WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing
warnings to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle:
Always park on a firm, level surface as
far from the edge of the roadway as
possible before raising the vehicle.
Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
Chock the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be raised.
Apply the parking brake firmly and set an
automatic transmission in PARK; a
manual transmission in REVERSE.
Never start or run the engine with the
vehicle on a jack.
Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when
it is on a jack.
Do not get under the vehicle when it is
on a jack. If you need to get under a
raised vehicle, take it to a service center
where it can be raised on a lift.

Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant
Bottle and Sealant Hose prior to the expi -
ration date (printed at the upper right
hand corner on the bottle label) to assure
optimum operation of the system. Refer to
“Sealant Bottle And Hose Replacement”
in this section for further information.
The Sealant Bottle and Sealant Hose are a
one tire application use and need to be
replaced after each use. Always replace
these components immediately at your
original equipment vehicle dealer.
When the Tire Service Kit sealant is in a
liquid form, clean water and a damp cloth
will remove the material from the vehicle
or tire and wheel components. Once the
sealant dries, it can easily be peeled off
and properly discarded.
For optimum performance, make sure the
valve stem on the wheel is free of debris
before connecting the Tire Service Kit.
You can use the Tire Service Kit air pump
to inflate bicycle tires. The kit also comes
with two needles, located in the Accessory
Storage Compartment (on the bottom of
the air pump) for inflating sport balls,

rafts, or similar inflatable items. However,
use only the Air Pump Hose and make sure
the Mode Select Knob is in the Air Mode
when inflating such items to avoid
injecting sealant into them. The Tire
Service Kit Sealant is only intended to seal
punctures less than 1/4 inch (6 mm)
diameter in the tread of your tire.
Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by
the hoses.
Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use Tire Service
Kit:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flashers.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position that
is near to the ground. This will allow the
Tire Service Kit Hoses and to reach the
valve stem and keep the Tire Service Kit
flat on the ground. This will provide the
best positioning of the kit when injecting
the sealant into the deflated tire and
running the air pump. Move the vehicle
as necessary to place the valve stem in
this position before proceeding.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side
of the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far
enough off the road to avoid the danger
of being hit when using the Tire Service
Kit.
Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the
vehicle under the following circum -
stances:
If the puncture in the tire tread is
approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or
larger.
If the tire has any sidewall damage.
If the tire has any damage from driving with extremely low tire pres-
sure.
If the tire has any damage fromdriving on a flat tire.
If the wheel has any damage.
If you are unsure of the condition ofthe tire or the wheel.
Keep Tire Service Kit away from open
flames or heat source.
A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward in
a collision or hard stop could endanger
the occupants of the vehicle. Always
stow the Tire Service Kit in the place
provided. Failure to follow these warn -
ings can result in injuries that are serious
or fatal to you, your passengers, and
others around you.
Take care not to allow the contents of
Tire Service Kit to come in contact with
