STARTING AND OPERATING91
TRAFFIC SIGN ASSIST SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Traffic Sign Assist (TSA) system uses a camera
mounted on the windshield, as well as map data
when the vehicle is equipped with Navigation, to
detect recognizable road signs such as:
Speed limits
School zones
No passing zones
NOTE:
The TSA system will automatically display the
road sign detected in the unit of measurement
(mph or km/h) selected within Uconnect
Settings or within the instrument cluster display.
If no speed limit signs are detected, the system
will revert to the speed limit signs that are
stored in the Navigation system.
The system always checks the traffic signs indi -
cating the current speed limit signs. The system
is able to recognize and display up to two
different road signs in the instrument cluster
display.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The TSA System can be enabled/disabled within
the Uconnect system through the Safety/Driver
Assistance menu. System ON is signaled by road
signs shown on the instrument cluster display.
NOTE:Even if the system is OFF, the speed limit sign will
be displayed when the driver selects it in the HOME
screen.
TRAFFIC SIGN ASSIST MODES
TSA has three selectable modes of operation that
are available through the Uconnect system.
Visual
When Visual is selected, the system will alert the
driver when the current speed of the vehicle
exceeds the detected speed limit by showing a
graphic in the instrument cluster display.
Visual + Chime

When Visual + Chime is selected, the system will
alert the driver when the current speed of the vehicle
exceeds the detected speed limit by showing a
graphic in the instrument cluster display, and by
sounding an audible alert. The audible alert will last
for 10 seconds, and the visual alert will remain on as
long as the vehicle is exceeding the speed limit.
TSA Off
When the TSA system is turned off, the system will
not show any traffic signs (unless selected in the
HOME screen, which will show detected speed
limit signs), and no alerts will be issued to the
driver.
INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY
Detected traffic signs are shown in the instrument
cluster display, and can display any combination of
signs at one time (e.g. speed limit, speed limit and
supplemental info, and “Do Not Pass” signs)
depending on what information is available.
When a newly detected speed limit is higher than
the current speed limit, the display will update
along with an “up” arrow.
When a newly detected speed limit is lower than
the current speed limit, the display will update
along with a “down” arrow.

94STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:Along with the color change of the steering wheel
image, the “glow” effect of the instrument cluster
display will also change to green when ADA is
engaged.
System Engagement Conditions
The following conditions must be met before the
system will engage:
Active Driving Assist system is enabled
ACC is engaged
System detects visible lane markings
Vehicle is traveling below 93 mph (150 km/h)
Vehicle is centered in lane
Turn signal is not activated
Vehicle is not in a tight curve
Driver has hands on steering wheel
NOTE:For the system to detect the driver’s hands on the
steering wheel, the wheel must be gripped on the
outside. Gripping the inside areas of the steering
wheel will not satisfy the hands-on condition to
engage the system.
Do Not Grip Inside Of Steering Wheel

System Deactivation
The system will be deactivated in any of the
following situations:
If the system has detected driver inattentive -
ness, and has gone through all escalation warn -
ings after hands are no longer detected on the
steering wheel
If lane markings are no longer detected
If the Active Driving Assist on/off button is
pushed again (ADA will turn off)
If a turn signal is used
If the driver applies torque to the steering wheel

If the vehicle speed exceeds 93 mph (150 km/h)

If the ACC system is deactivated

If the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
becomes active and is providing warnings/braking

NOTE:
Pushing the Active Driving Assist on/off button
will turn the system off. All other deactivation
conditions will place the system back into the
“enabled” state with the steering wheel indi -
cator displayed in grey until all engagement
conditions are met again.
When the system is deactivated, the system
status indicator lights will turn off, Active Lane
Management will return to its previous state,
and ACC will disable.
INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY
The Active Driving Assist system status can always
be viewed in the instrument cluster display, and
status changes are shown by changes in color of
the system’s indicator lights.
As the system detects driver inattentiveness as
previously described Ú page 92, the system
status indicator lights will change from green, to
yellow, to red, while the steering wheel icon on
the display moves up the screen to the center.
The following indicators will change in color as
warnings to the driver escalate:
Active Driving Assist Indicator (steering wheel
icon in the instrument cluster display)
Glow effect of the instrument cluster display

102STARTING AND OPERATING
If it is necessary to keep the ball mount and hitch
ball assembly mounted for a long period, it is
possible to filter out the ball mount and hitch ball
assembly presence in the sensor field of view.
The filtering operation must be performed only by
an authorized dealer.
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 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 driver may manually override the haptic
warning by applying force to the steering wheel at
any time.

When only a single lane marking is detected and the
driver drifts across the 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.

WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even
when using ParkSense. Always check carefully
behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. 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.

Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recom -
mended that the ball mount and hitch ball
assembly be disconnected from the vehicle
when the vehicle is not used for towing. Failure
to do so can result in injury or damage to vehi -
cles or obstacles because the hitch ball will be
much closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia
when the vehicle sounds the continuous tone.
Also, the sensors could detect the ball mount
and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size
and shape, giving a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the vehicle.

CAUTION!

ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is unable to
recognize every obstacle, including small obsta -
cles. 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
ParkSense 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 ParkSense.

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
Ú
page 120.

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

Your vehicle is equipped with the ParkView Rear Back
Up Camera that allows you to see an on-screen image
of the rear surroundings of your vehicle whenever the
gear selector is put into REVERSE and/or when the rear
doors are opened. The image will be displayed on the
touchscreen display along with a caution note to
“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
top rear of the vehicle below the center light.

Rear Back Up Camera Location

When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE and/or
when the rear doors are closed, the rear camera
mode is exited and the previous screen appears.

When engaged in the REVERSE gear, with the “Camera
Delay” turned on, the camera image will continue to be
displayed for up to 10 seconds after switching out of
the REVERSE position, unless the speed of the vehicle
does not exceed 8 mph (13 km/h), or that the gear is
placed in the NEUTRAL or PARK position. When the
gear is no longer in the REVERSE position, on the radio
display, together to the images behind it, a deactivation
button of the image displays on the camera screen, if
“Camera Delay” is active.

NOTE:The image displayed on the display may appear
slightly deformed.
When displayed, static grid lines will illustrate the
width of the vehicle and will show separate zones
that will help indicate the distance to the rear of
the vehicle. The following table shows the
approximate distances for each zone:
Zone Distance To The Rear Of The Vehicle Red 0 - 1 ft (0 - 30 cm)
Yellow 1 ft - 3 ft (30 cm - 1 m) Green 3 ft or greater (1 m or greater)
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even
when using the Rear Back Up Camera. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible for the safety of
your surroundings and must continue to pay
attention while backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.

Towing Requirements — Trailer Lights And
Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer
size, stoplights and turn signals on the trailer are
required for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include a four- and
seven-pin wiring harness. Use a factory approved
trailer harness and connector.
NOTE:Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicle’s wiring
harness. The electrical connections are all complete to the
vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer
connector. Refer to the following illustrations.
NOTE:
Disconnect trailer wiring connector from the
vehicle before launching a boat (or any other
device plugged into vehicle’s electrical connect)
into water.

Be sure to reconnect after clear from water area.

Four-Pin Connector Seven-Pin Connector

TOWING TIPS
Before towing, practice turning, stopping, and
backing up the trailer in an area located away from
heavy traffic.
Towing any trailer will increase your stopping
distance. When towing, you should allow for
additional space between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you. Failure to do so could
result in an accident.
CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lb (453 kg)
loaded, it should have its own brakes and they
should be of adequate capacity. Failure to do
this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear,
higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping
distances.

Overtaking/Passing

The BSM system is designed not to issue an alert
on stationary objects such as guardrails, posts,
walls, foliage, berms, snow banks, car washes, etc.
However, occasionally the system may alert on
such objects. This is normal operation and your
vehicle does not require service.
The BSM system will not alert you of objects that
are traveling in the opposite direction of the vehicle
in adjacent lanes Ú page 256.
Opposing Traffic

Rear Cross Path (RCP)
RCP is intended to aid the driver when backing out
of parking spaces where their vision of oncoming
vehicles may be blocked. Proceed slowly and
cautiously out of the parking space until the rear
end of the vehicle is exposed. The RCP system will
then have a clear view of the cross traffic, and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the driver.

RCP Detection Zones

RCP monitors the rear detection zones on both
sides of the vehicle, for objects that are moving
toward the side of the vehicle with a minimum
speed of approximately 3 mph (5 km/h), to objects
moving a maximum of approximately 20 mph
(32 km/h), such as in parking lot situations.
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an aid
to help detect objects in the blind spot zones.
The BSM system is not designed to detect
pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals. Even if your
vehicle is equipped with the BSM system, always
check your vehicle’s mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use your turn signal before
changing lanes. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
