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.
PARKSENSE SYSTEM USAGE
P
RECAUTIONS
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 vibra -
tions could affect the performance of ParkSense.
 When you turn ParkSense off, the instrument cluster
will display “PARKSENSE OFF.” Furthermore, once you
turn ParkSense off, it remains off until you turn it on
again, even if you cycle the ignition key.
 When you move the gear selector to the REVERSE posi -
tion and ParkSense is turned off, the instrument
cluster will display “PARKSENSE OFF” for as long as the
vehicle is in REVERSE.
 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 appropriate fascia/ bumper, or it could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind or in front of the appropriate fascia/
bumper.
 Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense
system off if objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer
hitches, 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
WIPE REAR SENSORS” message to be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
 ParkSense should be disabled when the liftgate is in
the open position. An opened liftgate could provide a
false indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
 There may be a delay in the object detection rate if the
object is moving. This may cause the automatic braking
application to be delayed.
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 respon -
sible 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 recommended
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 vehicles or obstacles because
the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than
the rear fascia when the vehicle sounds the contin -
uous 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 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
ParkSense in order to be able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when using
ParkSense.
WARNING!

STARTING AND OPERATING137

PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is intended to
assist the driver during parallel and perpendicular parking
maneuvers by identifying a proper parking space,
providing audible/visual instructions, and controlling the
steering wheel. The ParkSense Active Park Assist system
is defined as “semi-automatic” since the driver maintains
control of the accelerator, gear selector and brakes.
Depending on the driver's parking maneuver selection, the
ParkSense Active Park Assist system is capable of
maneuvering a vehicle into a parallel or a perpendicular
parking space on either side (i.e., driver side or passenger
side).
NOTE:
The driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle, responsible for any surrounding objects, and
must intervene as required.
 The system is designed to assist the driver and not to
substitute the driver.
 During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the driver
touches the steering wheel after being instructed to
remove their hands from the steering wheel, the
system will cancel, and the driver will be required to
manually complete the parking maneuver.
 The system may not work in all conditions (e.g. environ -
mental conditions such as heavy rain, snow, etc., or if
searching for a parking space that has surfaces that
will absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves). 
New vehicles from the dealership must have at least
30 miles (48 km) accumulated before the ParkSense
Active Park Assist system is fully calibrated and
performs accurately. This is due to the system’s
dynamic vehicle calibration to improve the perfor -
mance of the feature.
 The use of wheels and tires that are different size to the
original equipment could affect the operation of the
system.
ENABLING AND DISABLING THE
P
ARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST

located on the switch panel below the Uconnect display.
To enable or disable the ParkSense Active Park
Assist system, push the ParkSense Active Park
Assist switch once (LED turns on). Pushing the
switch a second time will disable the system
(LED turns off).
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will turn off
automatically for any of the following conditions:
 Parking maneuver is completed.
 Vehicle speed is greater than 18 mph (30 km/h) when
searching for a parking space.
 Vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (7 km/h) during
active steering guidance into the parking space. 
Steering wheel is touched during active steering guid -
ance into the parking space.
 ParkSense switch is pushed.
 The driver’s door is opened.
 The liftgate is opened.
 Electronic Stability Control/Anti-Lock Braking System
intervention.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will allow a

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 ParkSense Active Park Assist system will only operate
and search for a parking space when the following
conditions are present:
 The gear selector is in DRIVE.
 The ignition is in the RUN position.
 The ParkSense Active Park Assist switch is activated.
 The driver’s door is closed.
 The liftgate is closed.
 Vehicle speed is less than 15 mph (25 km/h).
 The outer surface and the underside of the front and
rear fascias/bumpers are clean and clear of snow, ice,
mud, dirt or other obstructions.

138STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:If the vehicle is driven above approximately 15 mph
(25 km/h), the instrument cluster display will instruct the
driver to slow down. If the vehicle is driven above approxi -
mately 18 mph (30 km/h), the system will cancel. The driver must then reactivate the system by pushing the
ParkSense Active Park Assist switch.
PARALLEL/PERPENDICULAR PARKING
S
PACE ASSISTANCE OPERATION
When the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is enabled
the “Active ParkSense Searching - Push OK for
Perpendicular Park” or “Active ParkSense Searching -
Push OK for Parallel Park” message will appear in the
instrument cluster display. Push the OK button on the left
side steering wheel switch to change your parking space
setting to parallel or perpendicular. 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.

Active ParkSense Searching - Press OK for Perpendicular Active ParkSense Searching - Press OK for Parallel Park

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, tail-
gates, etc., from surrounding objects/vehicles).
 When searching 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).
When an available parking space has been found, and the
vehicle is not in position, you will be instructed to move
forward to position the vehicle for a perpendicular or
parallel parking sequence (depending on the type of
maneuver being performed).

Space Found — Keep Moving Forward

Once the vehicle is in position, you will be instructed to
stop the vehicle’s movement and remove your hands from
the steering wheel. When the vehicle comes to a standstill
(your hands still removed from the steering wheel), you will
be instructed to place the gear selector into the REVERSE
position.
The system may then instruct the driver to wait for steering
to complete before then instructing to check surroundings
and move backward.

STARTING AND OPERATING139

Move Backward Into Parallel Parking Space
Move Backward Into Perpendicular Parking Space

The system may instruct several more gear shifts (DRIVE
and REVERSE), with hands off of the steering wheel,
before instructing the driver to check surroundings and
complete the parking maneuver. When the vehicle is in the parking position, the maneuver
is complete and the driver will be instructed to check the
vehicle's parking position, then shift the vehicle into PARK.
The message "Active ParkSense Complete - Check Parking
Position" will be displayed momentarily.
NOTE:

It is the driver's responsibility to use the brake and
accelerator during the semi-automatic parking
maneuver.
 It is the driver's responsibility to use the brake and stop
the vehicle. The driver should check their surroundings
and be prepared to stop the vehicle either when
instructed to, or when driver intervention is required.
 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 number of shifts between DRIVE and
REVERSE. If the maneuver cannot be completed within
six 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
guidance into the parking space. The system will
provide a warning to the driver at 3 mph (5 km/h) that
tells them to slow down. 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.
WARNING!
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 recommended that the driver looks over his/her
shoulder when using the ParkSense Active Park
Assist system.

140STARTING AND OPERATING
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 facing 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
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 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 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.
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 again (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
changed to 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 LaneSense Tell -
tale is solid white only when 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 inside lane line flashing yellow (on/off),
while the outside lane line on the left of the display will
remain solid yellow. The LaneSense telltale
changes from solid white to flashing yellow.

Lane Approached With Flashing Yellow Line/
Flashing Yellow Telltale

NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with similar behavior for
a right lane departure when only the right lane marking
has been detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lane Lines Detected
 When the LaneSense system is on, the lane lines turn
from gray to white. The LaneSense telltale is solid
green when both lane markings have been detected
and the system is ready to provide visual warnings in
the instrument cluster display and a torque warning in
the steering wheel if an unintentional lane departure
occurs.

Lanes Sensed (White Lines) With Green Telltale

When the LaneSense system senses a lane drift situa -
tion, the left inside and outside lane lines turn 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 Drift With Solid Yellow Line/Solid Yellow Telltale

 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 tell -
tale 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.
