PARKSENSE PARK ASSIST FAILURE
I
NDICATIONS
A malfunction of the ParkSense Park Assist
sensors or system is indicated, during REVERSE
gear engagement, by the instrument panel
warning icon.
The warning icon is illuminated and a
message is displayed in the instrument
cluster display (if equipped) Ú page 59.
The sensors and wiring are tested continuously
when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position.
Failures are indicated immediately if they occur
when the system is on.
Even if the system is able to identify that a specific
sensor is in failure condition, the instrument
cluster display shall indicate that the ParkSense
Park Assist system is unavailable, without
reference to the sensor in failure condition. If even
a single sensor fails, the entire system must be
disabled. The system is turned off automatically.
CLEANING THE PARKSENSE SYSTEM
Clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car wash
soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard
cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sensors.
Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.
PARKSENSE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
U
SAGE PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
Ensure that the front and rear fascia/bumper
are free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to
keep the ParkSense system operating properly.
Construction equipment, large trucks, and other
vibrations could affect the performance of
ParkSense.
When you turn ParkSense off, the instrument
cluster display will read “PARKSENSE OFF.”
Furthermore, once you turn ParkSense off, it
remains off until you turn it on again, even if you
cycle the ignition key.
ParkSense, when on, will reduce the volume of
the radio when it is sounding a tone.

Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, taking
care not to scratch or damage them. The sensors
must not be covered with ice, snow, slush, mud,
dirt or debris. Failure to do so can result in the
system not working properly. The ParkSense system might not detect an obstacle behind or in
front of the fascia/bumper, or it could provide a
false indication that an obstacle is behind or in
front of the fascia/bumper.

Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense
system off if objects such as bicycle carriers,
etc. are placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from
the rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close
object as a sensor problem, causing the
“PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED” message to be displayed in
the instrument cluster display.
NOTE:If any objects are attached to the bumper within a
6.5 ft (2 m) field of view, they will interfere and
cause false alerts and possibly blockage.
There may be a delay in the object detection
rate if the object is moving.
The operation of the rear sensors is automati
-
cally deactivated when the trailer's electric plug
is inserted in the vehicle's tow hook socket,
while the front sensors stay active and can
provide acoustic and visual warnings. The rear
sensors are automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.

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.

22_VF_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 102

STARTING AND OPERATING103
When only a single lane marking is detected, a
haptic or a 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 provide an
audible and visual warning to the driver if removed.
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.
To turn the LaneSense system on, push the
LaneSense button (LED turns off). A “LaneSense
On” message is shown in the instrument cluster
display.
To turn the LaneSense system off, push the
LaneSense button twice (LED turns on).
NOTE:The LaneSense system will retain the last system
state on or off from the last ignition cycle when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
LANESENSE WARNING MESSAGE
The LaneSense system will indicate the current
lane drift condition through the instrument cluster
display.
When the LaneSense system is on, the lane lines
are gray when both of the lane boundaries have
not been detected and the LaneSense telltale
is solid white.

System ON (Gray Lines) With White Telltale
Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected

When the LaneSense system is on, the Lane -
Sense Telltale is solid white when only the
left lane marking has been detected and the
system is ready to provide visual warnings 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 telltale changes from solid white to flashing yellow.

Lane Approached (Flashing Yellow Lane Line) With Yellow Telltale

NOTE:The LaneSense system operates with similar
behavior for a right lane departure when only the
right lane marking has been detected.

104STARTING AND OPERATING
Left Lane Departure — Both Lane Lines Detected

When the LaneSense system is on and both the
lane markings have been detected, the system is
"armed" to provide visual warnings in the instru-
ment 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.

Lane Sensed (Solid Yellow Lane Line) With Solid Yellow Telltale
When the LaneSense system senses the lane has
been approached and is in a lane departure situ -
ation, the left lane line flashes yellow (on/off). 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 (Flashing Yellow Lane Line) With Flashing Yellow Telltale
NOTE:The LaneSense system operates with similar
behavior for a right lane departure.
