168STARTING AND OPERATING  
When the LaneSense system senses the lane 
has been approached and is in a lane departure 
situation, the left inside lane line flashes yellow 
(on/off) while the left outside 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 
opposite direction of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of the 
lane the steering wheel will turn to the right.
Lane Approached With Flashing Yellow Line/ Flashing Yellow Telltale 
NOTE:The LaneSense system operates with 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/Medium/Late) that you can 
configure through the Uconnect system  
Úpage 188.
NOTE:
When enabled the system operates above 
37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph 
(180 km/h).
The warnings are disabled with use of the 
turn signal.
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 CAMERA   
The ParkView Rear Back Up Camera allows you to 
see an on-screen image of the rear surroundings of 
your vehicle whenever the gear selector is put into 
REVERSE. The image will be displayed on the 
touchscreen display along with a caution note 
“Check Entire Surroundings” across the top of the 
screen. After five seconds, this note will disappear.  The ParkView Rear Back Up Camera is located on 
the rear of the vehicle above the rear license plate.

STARTING AND OPERATING175
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) 
The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the front 
and rear axles. Distribute the load over the front 
and rear axles evenly. Make sure that you do not 
exceed either front or rear GAWR  Ú page 173.
Tongue Weight (TW)
The TW is the downward force exerted on the hitch 
ball by the trailer. You must consider this as part of 
the load on your vehicle.
Trailer Frontal Area
The Frontal Area is the maximum height multiplied 
by the maximum width of the front of a trailer.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
The TSC can be a mechanical telescoping link that 
can be installed between the hitch receiver and the 
trailer tongue that typically provides adjustable 
friction associated with the telescoping motion to 
dampen any unwanted trailer swaying motions 
while traveling.
The electronic TSC (if equipped), recognizes a 
swaying trailer and automatically applies individual 
wheel brakes and/or reduces engine power to 
attempt to eliminate the trailer sway.
Weight-Carrying Hitch
A Weight-Carrying Hitch supports the trailer tongue 
weight, just as if it were luggage located at a hitch 
ball or some other connecting point of the vehicle. 
These kinds of hitches are commonly used to tow 
small and medium sized trailers.
Weight-Distributing Hitch
A weight-distributing hitch works by applying 
leverage through spring (load) bars. They are 
typically used for heavier loads to distribute trailer 
tongue weight to the tow vehicle's front axle and 
the trailer axle(s). When used in accordance with 
the manufacturer’s directions, it provides for a 
more level ride, offering more consistent steering 
and brake control thereby enhancing towing  safety. The addition of a friction/hydraulic sway 
control also dampens sway caused by traffic and 
crosswinds and contributes positively to tow 
vehicle and trailer stability. TSC and a 
weight-distributing (load equalizing) hitch are 
recommended for heavier TW and may be required 
depending on vehicle and trailer configuration/
loading to comply with GAWR requirements.
WARNING!
It is important that you do not exceed the 
maximum front or rear GAWR. A dangerous 
driving condition can result if either rating is 
exceeded. You could lose control of the vehicle 
and have a collision.
WARNING!
An improperly adjusted weight-distributing 
hitch system may reduce handling, stability, 
braking performance, and could result in a 
collision.
Weight-distributing systems may not be 
compatible with surge brake couplers. Consult 
with your hitch and trailer manufacturer or a 
reputable Recreational Vehicle dealer for 
additional information.

SAFETY229
If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than 
the other, the system will apply the brake of the 
spinning wheel. This will allow more vehicle torque 
to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. BLD 
may remain enabled even if TCS and the Electronic 
Stability Control (ESC) are in reduced modes.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) 
TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize an 
excessively swaying trailer and will take the 
appropriate actions to attempt to stop the sway. 
Note that TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying. 
Always use caution when towing a trailer and follow 
the trailer tongue weight recommendations  
Ú page 174.
When TSC is functioning, the ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light will flash, the engine 
power may be reduced and you may feel the 
brakes being applied to individual wheels to 
attempt to stop the trailer from swaying. TSC is 
disabled when the ESC system is in the “Partial 
Off” mode.
AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BS M) —
I
F EQUIPPED
The BSM system uses two radar sensors, located 
inside the rear fascia/bumper, to detect highway 
licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, 
motorcycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot zones 
from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
Rear Detection Zones
When the vehicle is started, the BSM Warning Light 
will momentarily illuminate in both outside 
rearview mirrors to let the driver know that the 
system is operational. The BSM system sensors 
operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear 
and enters standby mode when the vehicle is in 
PARK (P). The BSM detection zone covers approximately one 
lane width on both sides of the vehicle 12 ft 
(3.7 m). The zone length starts at the outside 
rearview mirror and extends approximately 10 ft 
(3 m) beyond the rear fascia/bumper of the 
vehicle. The BSM system monitors the detection 
zones on both sides of the vehicle when the vehicle 
speed reaches approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or 
higher and will alert the driver of vehicles in these 
areas.
NOTE:
The BSM system DOES NOT alert the driver 
about rapidly approaching vehicles that are 
outside the detection zones.
The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT 
change if your vehicle is towing a trailer. There
-
fore, visually verify the adjacent lane is clear for 
both your vehicle and trailer before making a 
lane change. If the trailer or other object 
(i.e., bicycle, sports equipment) extends beyond 
the side of your vehicle, this may result in false 
detections. The BSM Warning Light may even 
remain illuminated the entire time the vehicle is 
in a forward gear.
WARNING!
If TSC activates while driving, slow the vehicle 
down, stop at the nearest safe location, and 
adjust the trailer load to eliminate trailer sway.
