160STARTING AND OPERATING
(Continued)
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. The system works by identifying a proper
parking space, providing audible/visual instructions, and
controlling the steering wheel only, or the accelerator,
gear selector, brakes, and the steering wheel (if equipped
with the Fully Automated system). 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).
Two types of ParkSense Active Park Assist systems are
available:
Semi-Automatic ParkSense Active Park Assist
 ParkSense Automated Parking system Semi-Automatic ParkSense Active Park Assist —
If Equipped
The Semi-Automatic system detects parking spaces, and
controls the steering wheel only. The driver maintains
control of the accelerator, gear selector and brakes.
ParkSense Automated Parking — If Equipped
The Fully Automated system detects parking spaces, and
controls the accelerator, gear selector, brakes, and
steering wheel. In this mode, the system also provides
obstacle detection by providing visual and audible
warnings and automatic braking to avoid a collision.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Fully Automated
system, you can switch between Semi-Automatic and Fully
Automated mode in the Uconnect Settings
Úpage 197.
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 or Fully Automated
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.
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 Park -
Sense 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 Park -
Sense.
CAUTION!

(Continued)
The system will then instruct the driver to remove hands
from the steering wheel and feet from the pedals. This
screen will be shown for a minimum of two seconds, or
until the driver releases the brake pedal.
When the parking sequence is initiated by the driver after
the previously described conditions are met, the Uconnect
system will display a Top View along with either a rear
camera view (if the vehicle is placed in REVERSE) or a
forward camera view (if the vehicle is placed in DRIVE).
The Top View will have integrated ParkSense arcs in the
image at the front and rear of the vehicle. The arcs will
change color from yellow to red corresponding the
distance zones to the oncoming object.
The system will then perform the parking maneuver. Once
the maneuver is complete, the vehicle will automatically
shift into PARK.
The system will display a “Complete!” message and
instruct the driver to release the Active Park Assist switch.
Once the Active Park Assist switch is released, a chime will
sound and the LED on the switch will turn off. After
approximately five seconds, the previous Uconnect screen
will display.
NOTE:

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 system will cancel the maneuver if the vehicle
speed exceeds 28 mph (40 km/h) during active
steering guidance into the parking space. The system
will provide a warning to the driver at 28 mph
(40 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, obstruc -
tions, 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.
 Before using the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, 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 vehi -
cles or obstacles because the hitch ball will be much
closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia/bumper
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!
 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.

164STARTING AND OPERATING
Parallel Park Exit
Enable the ParkSense Active Park Assist system by
pressing the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch. To
initiate a parking space exit maneuver, the vehicle must
be stopped, and the driver must press “Exit” on the
Uconnect display.
After the driver chooses a parallel park exit maneuver, the
system will then prompt the driver to choose an exit
method. The exit method options are Forward Left and
Forward Right.

Choose Exit Method

NOTE:If an exit method selection is attempted before the vehicle
is stopped, the driver will be instructed to stop the vehicle
to make a selection.
After the driver chooses a parallel exit side, a message
appears in the Uconnect display with instructions to hold
the brake pedal and hold down the Active Park Assist
switch. Both of these conditions must be met before the
maneuver can begin. When the Active Park Assist switch is held down, the turn
signal for the chosen exit side will turn on automatically.
The system will then instruct the driver to remove hands
from the steering wheel and feet from the pedals. This
screen will be shown for a minimum of two seconds, or
until the driver releases the brake pedal.
When the exit sequence is initiated by the driver after the
previously described conditions are met, the Uconnect
system will display a Top View along with either a rear
camera view (if the vehicle is placed in REVERSE) or a
forward camera view (if the vehicle is placed in DRIVE),
and the exit maneuver will begin.
The Top View will have integrated ParkSense arcs in the
image at the front and rear of the vehicle. The arcs will
change color from yellow to red corresponding the
distance zones to the oncoming object.
The automatic maneuver ends when the vehicle is clear of
the parking space, and the display shows the message of
a completed maneuver. The vehicle will be in DRIVE and
held hydraulically by the brakes until the driver presses
the accelerator pedal. The system gives vehicle control
back to the driver.
Once the driver regains control of the vehicle, a chime will
sound and the LED on the switch will turn off. After
approximately five seconds, the previous Uconnect screen
will display.
Parking Maneuver Paused/Canceled
Certain conditions can pause or cancel a Fully Automated
park or exit maneuver.
The ParkSense Automated Parking system can be paused
due to the driver’s finger being removed from the Active
Park Assist switch and/or an object in the vehicle’s path
during a parking maneuver.
If one or more of these scenarios occur, automatic braking
will bring the vehicle to a stop and hold the vehicle
hydraulically by the brakes.
The driver will be instructed to hold the Active Park Assist
switch to continue the park or exit maneuver. If the driver
does not resume holding the switch down, the maneuver
will cancel.
If the maneuver is paused due to an object in the vehicle’s
path, a message will appear in the Uconnect display. The
maneuver will remain paused until the object is no longer
in the vehicle’s path.
The system can also be paused before the Active Park
Assist switch is held down if the driver shifts into
REVERSE.
The driver will be instructed to shift to DRIVE to continue
the maneuver. If the vehicle is shifted into DRIVE, the
process will continue on to the seek/maneuver selection
phase.

Parallel/Perpendicular Parking Space
Assistance Operation
When the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is enabled,
the driver must press “Park” on the Uconnect display, and
the system will begin searching for valid parallel and
perpendicular parking spaces.
NOTE:If your vehicle is equipped with a Fully Automated system,
you may have to update your selected setting in the
Uconnect system to switch to a Semi-Automatic maneuver
Úpage 197.
NOTE:
 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.
 While the vehicle is in DRIVE, there will be a full screen
image in the Uconnect display. If the driver shifts to
REVERSE while searching for a parking space, a
camera image will appear in the Uconnect display with
a “Shift To Drive” message. Both types of valid spaces (parallel and perpendicular) will
be displayed in the Uconnect display as they are found.
The available spaces will update in real time.
When valid parking spaces have 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).
A chime will sound, and the driver will be instructed to stop
the vehicle and to select a space. This can be done by
pressing the desired space on the Uconnect display.

Select A Space

If the driver selects a perpendicular parking space, the
system will prompt the driver to choose a Forward or
Reverse parking method.

166STARTING AND OPERATING
Once active steering begins, a camera image will appear
in the Uconnect display with instructions that will display
for the duration of the maneuver.
The system may then instruct the driver to wait for steering
to complete before then instructing to check the vehicle’s
surroundings, and move backward.

Move Backward

Several more gear shifts (DRIVE and REVERSE) while
keeping hands off of the steering wheel will be instructed
to the driver while checking the vehicle’s surroundings
before completing 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 “Complete! Check Parking Position” will be
displayed momentarily.
NOTE:
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.
 It is the driver’s responsibility to use the brake and
accelerator during the Semi-Automatic parking
maneuver.
 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 of eight shifts between DRIVE and 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 system will cancel the maneuver if the vehicle
speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h) during active
steering guidance into the parking space. The system
will provide a warning to the driver at 15 mph
(25 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, obstruc -
tions, 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.
 Before using the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, 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 vehi -
cles or obstacles because the hitch ball will be much
closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia/bumper
when the vehicle sounds the continuous tone. Also,

wheel and shift into REVERSE.

Remove Hands From Wheel And Shift To Reverse

Release the steering wheel and use the brake and
accelerator pedals and gear selector as instructed, while
the system handles the steering automatically for exiting
the parking space. If the driver touches or holds the steering wheel
(voluntarily or not) during the exit maneuver, the
maneuver will be interrupted.
The Semi-Automatic maneuver ends when the display
shows the message of a completed maneuver. At the end
of the maneuver, the system gives vehicle control back to
the driver.
ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT OPERATION
The Active Lane Management (ALM) system uses a
forward facing camera to detect lane markings or road
edges and to measure vehicle position within the lane
boundaries. It also uses the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
sensors to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes while the
driver is preparing to change lanes.
The system is operational at speeds above 37 mph
(60 km/h) and below 112 mph (180 km/h).
When both lane markings are detected, and the vehicle
approaches (or crosses) the lane marking with no turn
signal applied, and the blind spot zone is not occupied, the
ALM system provides warnings to prompt the driver to
remain within the lane boundaries. These warnings
include a visual warning in the instrument cluster along
with steering assist torque (if configured in Uconnect
Settings).
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.

168STARTING AND OPERATING
If the driver crosses the lane marking, the system will
either guide the vehicle back to the center of the lane,
provide a vibration in the steering wheel, or both,
depending on radio settings.
When both lane markings are detected, and the driver
uses the turn signal to indicate a lane change, and a
vehicle is detected in the BSM zone on that side of the
vehicle, the ALM system provides a warning in the form of
steering assist and/or steering vibration (depending on
radio settings) to guide the vehicle back to the center of
the lane.
NOTE:
The system will suppress visual warnings, steering
vibration (if selected in radio settings), and steering
assistance (if selected in radio settings) when the
driver activates the turn signal, the blind spot zone is
clear of vehicles, and a lane change is occurring.
 If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system detects a
vehicle in the adjacent lane, and the turn signal is
applied in that direction, the BSM LED on the mirror will
flash. If the driver continues to attempt the lane
change, steering wheel torque will be provided to keep
the vehicle within its lane markings.
The driver may manually override the steering assist
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
Active Lane Management system provides a visual
warning in the instrument cluster, as well as a steering
assist torque (if configured in Uconnect Settings), to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane boundaries. If the driver continues to drift out of the lane, the system
provides a flashing visual warning through the instrument
cluster display as well as a haptic steering wheel vibration
(if configured in Uconnect Settings) when the vehicle
crosses the lane boundary.
NOTE:When operating conditions have been met, the Active
Lane Management system will monitor if the driver’s
hands are on the steering wheel and provides 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.
