STARTING AND OPERATING
164
When the LaneSense system senses the
lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes yellow, the left thin line remains
solid yellow and the LaneSense telltale
changes from solid white to flashing
yellow.
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the
similar behavior for a right lane departure
when only the right lane marking has been
detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
When the LaneSense system is on, the
lane lines turn from grey to white to indi-
cate that both of the lane markings have
been detected. The LaneSense telltale
is solid green when both lane markings
have been detected and the system is
“armed” to provide visual warnings in the
instrument cluster display and a torque
warning in the steering wheel if an unin -
tentional lane departure occurs.
When the LaneSense system senses a lane
drift situation, the left thick lane line and
left thin line turn solid yellow. The Lane-
Sense telltale changes from solid green to solid 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.
When the LaneSense system senses the
lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes yellow and the left thin line
remains solid yellow. The LaneSense tell
-
tale stays 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.
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 (Low/
Medium/High) and the warning zone sensi -
tivity (Early/Medium/Late) that you can
configure through the Uconnect system screen. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” in the Owner’s Manual for
further details.
NOTE:
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.).
Use of the turn signals and Hazard
Warning flashers also suppresses the
warnings.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP
CAMERA — IF EQUIPPED
You can see an on-screen image of the rear
of your vehicle whenever the transmission is
shifted into REVERSE. The ParkView Rear
Back Up Camera image will be displayed on
the Uconnect Display, located on the center
stack of the instrument panel.
If the Uconnect Display appears foggy, clean
the camera lens located on the rear of the
vehicle above the rear license plate
Refer to “ParkView Back Up Camera” in
“Starting And Operating” in your Owner's
Manual for further information.

Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings)
Towing Requirements
To promote proper break-in of your new
vehicle drivetrain components, the following
guidelines are recommended.Perform the maintenance listed in the
“Scheduled Servicing”. Refer to “Scheduled
Servicing” in “Servicing And Maintenance”
for the proper maintenance intervals. When
towing a trailer, never exceed the GAWR or
GCWR ratings.
Engine/Transmission
ModelMaximum Braked Trailer Weight
GTW (Gross Trailer Wt.)* Maximum Tongue Wt.
1.4L Gasoline Engine
FWD or 4WD2,205 lbs (1,000 kg) 110 lbs (50 kg)
2.0L Diesel Engine / Automatic 4WD3,307 lbs (1,500 kg) 165 lbs (75 kg)
2.0L Diesel Engine / Manual 4WD4,188 lbs (1,900 kg) 209 lbs (95 kg)
1.6L Diesel Engine FWD2,205 lbs (1,000 kg) 110 lbs (50 kg)
When towing a trailer the technically permissible laden weight may be exceeded by not more than 10% or 220 lbs (100 kg), whichever is
lower provided that the operating speed is restricted to 62 mph (100 km/h) or less.
Refer to local laws for maximum trailer towing speeds and loads.
Towing limits quoted represent the maximum towing ability of the vehicle at its Gross Combined Mass to restart on a 12 percent gradient
at sea level.
The performance and economy of all models will be reduced when used for towing.
* Trailer towing without trailer brakes is limited to 992 lbs (450 kg).
CAUTION!
Do not tow a trailer at all during the first
500 miles (805 km) the new vehicle is
driven. The engine, axle or other parts
could be damaged.
Then, during the first 500 miles
(805 km) that a trailer is towed, do not
drive over 50 mph (80 km/h) and do not
make starts at full throttle. This helps
the engine and other parts of the vehicle
wear in at the heavier loads.
CAUTION! (Continued)

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 (D) and REVERSE (R) (for
automatic transmission) or SECOND GEAR
and REVERSE (for manual transmission)
while gently pressing the accelerator.
NOTE:
For vehicles with automatic transmission,
shifts between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R)
can only be achieved at wheel speeds of
5 mph (8 km/h) or less. Whenever the trans -
mission remains in NEUTRAL (N) 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” in the Owner’s
Manual for further information. Once the
vehicle has been freed, push the “ESC Off”
switch again to restore “ESC On” mode.
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.
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).

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.
Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your vehicle.
Use only tow bars and other equipment
designed for this purpose, following equip-
ment manufacturer’s instructions. Use of
safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar
or other towing devices to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to bumpers or
associated brackets. State and local laws
regarding vehicles under tow must be
observed.
NOTE:
You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake
feature is disabled before towing this
vehicle to avoid inadvertent Electric Park
Brake engagement. The Auto Park Brake
feature is enabled or disabled via the
customer programmable features in the
Uconnect Settings.
Vehicles with a discharged battery, or total
electrical failure when the Electric Park
Brake (EPB) is engaged, will need a wheel
dolly or jack to raise the rear wheels off the
ground when moving the vehicle onto a
flatbed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers,
defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the igni -
tion must be in the ON/RUN mode.
NOTE:
The Safehold feature will engage the Electric
Park Brake whenever the driver's door is
opened (if the battery is connected, ignition
is ON, transmission is not in PARK, and
brake pedal is released). If you are towing
this vehicle with the ignition in the ON/RUN
mode, you must manually disable the Elec -tric Park Brake each time the driver's door is
opened by pressing the brake pedal and then
releasing the EPB.
If the vehicle’s battery is discharged, refer to
“Gear Selector Override” in this section for
instructions on shifting the automatic trans
-
mission out of PARK so that the vehicle can
be moved.
