For example: If approaching the left side
of the lane the steering wheel will turn to
the right.
When the LaneSense system senses the
lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes yellow (on/off) and the left thin
line remains solid yellow. The LaneSense
telltale changes from solid yellow to
flashing yellow. At this time torque is
applied to the steering wheel in the oppo-
site direction of the lane boundary.For example: If approaching the left side
of the lane the steering wheel will turn to
the right.
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the
similar behavior for a right lane departure.
Changing LaneSense Status
The LaneSense system has settings to adjust
the intensity of the torque warning and the
warning zone sensitivity (early/late) that you
can configure through the Uconnect system
screen.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi -
media” in the Owner’s Manual for further
information. NOTE:
When enabled, the system operates above
37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph
(180 km/h).
Use of the turn signal suppresses the
warnings.
The system will not apply torque to the
steering wheel whenever a safety system
engages (Anti-Lock Brakes, Traction
Control System, Electronic Stability
Control, Forward Collision Warning, etc.).
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP

another genuine one.
No tool other than its cranking device may
be fitted on the jack.
WARNING!
When using the crank, make sure it turns
freely without the risk of scraping hands
against the ground.
Even the moving parts of the jack, the
“worm screw” and joints can cause
injuries: avoid contact with them. Clean it
thoroughly if dirtied with grease.
CAUTION!
The jack is a tool designed exclusively for
changing a wheel, in case of a puncture or
damage to a tire of the vehicle on which it
is fitted or on vehicles of the same model.
Any other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle
models or different things, is strictly
prohibited. Never use it to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the vehicle
or to change summer/winter wheels and
vice versa. Never go under the raised
vehicle. If any work under the vehicle is
necessary, contact an authorized dealer.
Incorrect placing of the jack can cause the
vehicle to drop: use it only in the positions
indicated. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than that specified on the label.
Never start the engine with vehicle raised.
If the vehicle is raised more than
necessary, everything can become more
unstable, with the risk of the vehicle
dropping violently. Therefore raise the
vehicle only as much as necessary for the
wheel/spare.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand
or snow, it can often be moved using a
rocking motion. Turn the steering wheel right
and left to clear the area around the front
wheels. For vehicles with automatic trans-
mission, push and hold the lock button on
the gear selector. Then shift back and forth
between DRIVE and REVERSE (with auto -
matic transmission) or SECOND GEAR and
REVERSE (with manual transmission), while
gently pressing the accelerator.
NOTE:
For vehicles with automatic transmission:
Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can
only be achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph
(8 km/h) or less. Whenever the transmission
remains in NEUTRAL for more than two
seconds, you must press the brake pedal to
engage DRIVE or REVERSE.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal
pressure that will maintain the rocking
motion without spinning the wheels or racing
the engine. NOTE:
Push the “ESC OFF” switch (if necessary), to
place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system in “Partial Off” mode, before rocking
the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Brake
Control System” in “Safety” for further infor
-
mation. Once the vehicle has been freed,
push the "ESC OFF" switch again to restore
“ESC On” mode.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the wheels
may lead to transmission overheating
and failure. Allow the engine to idle with
the transmission in NEUTRAL for at
least one minute after every five
rocking-motion cycles. This will mini -
mize overheating and reduce the risk of
clutch or transmission failure during
prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by
shifting between DRIVE/SECOND GEAR
and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels
faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drive -
train damage may result.
Revving the engine or spinning the
wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also
damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear
(no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause damage, or even failure,
of the axle and tires. A tire could explode
and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
continuously without stopping when you
are stuck and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

Without The Key Fob
Special care must be taken when the vehicle
is towed with the ignition in the LOCK/OFF
mode. The only approved method of towing
without the key fob is with a flatbed truck.
Proper towing equipment is necessary to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) Models
The manufacturer recommends towing your
vehicle with all four wheels OFF the ground
using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, this
vehicle must be towed with the front wheels
OFF the ground (using a towing dolly, or
wheel lift equipment with the front wheels
raised).
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remains released, while being
towed. The Electric Park Brake does not
need to be released, if all four wheels are off
the ground.
4x4 Models
The manufacturer requires towing with all
four wheels OFF the ground.
Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle
on a flatbed, or with one end of vehicle raised
and the opposite end on a towing dolly.
CAUTION!
Do not use sling-type equipment when
towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
When securing the vehicle to a flatbed
truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to your
vehicle may result from improper towing.
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remains released, while
being towed.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
engine and/or transmission damage.
Damage from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
CAUTION!
Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used
(if the remaining wheels are on the
ground). Internal damage to the trans-
mission or power transfer unit will occur
if a front or rear wheel lift is used when
towing.
Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or power transfer unit
damage. Damage from improper towing
is not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

Cooling System
Engine Coolant Checks
Check the engine coolant (antifreeze) protec-
tion every 12 months (before the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable). If the
engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty, the
system should be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming
to MS.90032) by an authorized dealer.
Check the front of the A/C condenser for any
accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty,
clean by gently spraying water from a garden
hose vertically down the face of the
condenser.
Check the engine cooling system hoses for
brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, and
tightness of the connection at the coolant
recovery bottle and radiator. Inspect the
entire system for leaks. DO NOT REMOVE
THE COOLANT PRESSURE CAP WHEN THE
COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT.
Adding Washer Fluid
The windshield and rear window washers
share the same fluid reservoir. The fluid
reservoir is located in the front of the engine
compartment. Be sure to check the fluid
level in the reservoir at regular intervals. Fill
the reservoir with windshield washer solvent
(not radiator antifreeze) and operate the
system for a few seconds to flush out the
residual water.
When refilling the washer fluid reservoir,
take some washer fluid and apply it to a cloth
or towel and wipe clean the wiper blades,
this will help blade performance.To prevent freeze-up of your windshield
washer system in cold weather, select a solu
-
tion or mixture that meets or exceeds the
temperature range of your climate. This
rating information can be found on most
washer fluid containers.
Brake System
In order to ensure brake system perfor -
mance, all brake system components should
be inspected periodically. Refer to the
“Maintenance Plan” in this section for the
proper maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear
steam coming from under the hood, do
not open the hood until the radiator has
had time to cool. Never open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or
coolant bottle is hot.
Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry
away from the radiator cooling fan when
the hood is raised. The fan starts auto-
matically and may start at any time,
whether the engine is running or not.
When working near the radiator cooling
fan, turn the ignition to the OFF mode.
The fan is temperature controlled and
can start at any time the ignition is in the
ON mode.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield washer
solvents are flammable. They could ignite
and burn you. Care must be exercised
when filling or working around the washer
solution.
CAUTION!
Do not travel with the windshield washer
fluid reservoir empty: the windshield
washer is essential for improving visibility.
