382 STARTING AND OPERATING
Once the driver pushes OK for a perpendicular parking
maneuver, the “Active ParkSense Searching - Push OK for
Parallel Park” message will appear in the instrument cluster
display.Searching NOTE:
• When searching for a parking space, use the turn signal
indicator to select which side of the vehicle you want to
perform the parking maneuver. The ParkSense Active
Park Assist system will automatically search for a parking
space on the passenger's side of the vehicle if the turn
signal is not activated.
• The driver needs to make sure that the selected parking space for the maneuver remains free and clear of any
obstructions (e.g. pedestrians, bicycles, etc.).
• The driver is responsible to ensure that the selected parking space is suitable for the maneuver and free/clear
of anything that may be overhanging or protruding into
the parking space (e.g., ladders, tailgates, etc. from
surrounding objects/vehicles).
• When seeking for a parking space, the driver should drive as parallel or perpendicular (depending on the type of
maneuver) to other vehicles as possible.
• The feature will only indicate the last detected parking space (example: if passing multiple available parking
spaces, the system will only indicate the last detected
parking space for the maneuver).

STARTING AND OPERATING 385
The system will then instruct the driver to check their
surroundings and move backward.Check Surroundings — Move Backwards NOTE:
• It is the driver’s responsibility to use the brake and accel
-
erator during the semi-automatic parking maneuver.
• Rear automatic braking is NOT intended to stop the vehicle for the driver during parking maneuvers.
• When the system instructs the driver to remove their hands from the steering wheel, the driver should check
their surroundings and begin to back up slowly.
• The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will allow a maximum of eight shifts between DRIVE or REVERSE. If
the maneuver cannot be completed within eight shifts, the
system will cancel and the instrument cluster display will
instruct the driver to complete the maneuver manually.
• The system will cancel the maneuver if the vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (7 km/h) during active steering guidanceinto the parking space. The system will provide a warning
to the driver at 3 mph (5 km/h) that tells them to slowdown. The driver is then responsible for completing the
maneuver if the system is canceled.
• If the system is canceled during the maneuver for any reason, the driver must take control of the vehicle.

390 STARTING AND OPERATING
Your vehicle is now in the perpendicular park position.
When the maneuver is complete, the driver will be instructed
to check the vehicle's parking position. If the driver is satis-
fied with the vehicle position, they should shift to PARK. The
"Active ParkSense Complete - Check Parking Position"
message will be momentarily displayed.
Active Park Sense Complete — Check Parking PositionWARNING!
Drivers must be careful when performing parallel or
perpendicular parking maneuvers even when using the
ParkSense Active Park Assist system. Always check
carefully behind and in front of your vehicle, look
behind and in front of you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and
blind spots before backing up and moving forward. 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.
CAUTION!
• The ParkSense Active Park Assist system 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 the ParkSense Active Park Assist system in order to be able
to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It is recom -
mended that the driver looks over his/her shoulder
when using the ParkSense Active Park Assist system.

STARTING AND OPERATING 391
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). It 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 unin -
tentionally drifts out of the lane while no turn signal has been
applied OR the driver departs the lane on the opposite side
of the applied turn signal (if the left turn signal is applied and
the vehicle departs to the right), 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. The LaneSense system will also provide a
visual warning through the instrument cluster display 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 that lane marking (no turn
signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a visual
warning through the instrument cluster display 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 and visual 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 LaneSense button is located on the switch panel
below the Uconnect display.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with a 12–inch Uconnect Display
screen, the LaneSense button is located above the display.

Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
• When the LaneSense system is ON, the LaneSense Telltale is solid white when only the left lane marking has been
detected and the system is ready to provide visual warn -
ings in the instrument cluster display if an unintentional
lane departure occurs on the left side.
• When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been approached and is in a lane departure situation, the visual
warning in the instrument cluster display will show the
left lane line flashing yellow (on/off). The LaneSense tell -
tale changes from solid white to flashing yellow.

394 STARTING AND OPERATING
Left Lane Departure — Both Lane Lines Detected
• When the LaneSense system is ON and both the lane mark -
ings have been detected, the system is "armed" to provide
visual warnings in the instrument cluster display and a
torque warning in the steering wheel if an unintentional
lane departure occurs .The lane lines turn from gray to
white and the LaneSense telltale is solid green.
Lanes Sensed (White Lines) With Green Telltale • When the LaneSense system senses a lane drift situation,
the left lane line turns solid yellow. The LaneSense telltale changes from solid green to solid yellow. At this time
torque is applied to the steering wheel in the opposite
direction of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of the lane the
steering wheel will turn to the right.

previous screen appears again.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (with Camera
delay turned on), the rear Camera image will be displayed
for up to 10 seconds after shifting to another gear, unless the
vehicle speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h), the transmission is shifted into PARK, the ignition is placed in the OFF position,
or the touchscreen button “X” to disable display of the Rear
View Camera image is pressed.
Whenever the Rear View Camera image is activated through
the "Backup Camera" button in the "Controls" menu, and the
vehicle speed is greater than, or equal to, 8 mph (13 km/h), a
display timer for the image is initiated. The image will
continue to be displayed until the display timer exceeds 10
seconds.
NOTE:
• If the vehicle speed remains below 8 mph (13 km/h), the Rear View Camera image will be displayed continuously
until deactivated via the touchscreen button "X", the trans -
mission is shifted into PARK, or the ignition is placed in
the OFF position.
• The touchscreen button "X" to disable display of the camera image is made available ONLY when the vehicle is
not in REVERSE.
When enabled, active guide lines are overlaid on the image
to illustrate the width of the vehicle and its projected backup
path based on the steering wheel position. The active guide
lines will show separate zones that will help indicate the
distance to the rear of the vehicle.
