STARTING AND OPERATING

TOWING A TRAILER

ACC while towing a trailer is recommended only

with an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller.

Aftermarket trailer brake controllers will not

activate the trailer brakes when ACC is braking.

OFFSET DRIVING

ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane that

is offset from your direct line of travel, or a vehicle

merging in from a side lane. There may not be

sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead. The offset

vehicle may move in and out of the line of travel,

which can cause your vehicle to brake or

accelerate unexpectedly.

Offset Driving Condition Example

TURNS AND BENDS

When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the

system may decrease the vehicle speed and

acceleration for stability reasons, with no target

vehicle detected. Once the vehicle is out of the

curve the system will resume your original set

speed. This is a part of normal ACC system

functionality.
NOTE:

On tight turns ACC performance may be limited.

USING ACC ON HILLS

When driving on hills, ACC may not detect a vehicle

in your lane. Depending on the speed, vehicle load,

traffic conditions, and the steepness of the hills,

ACC performance may be limited.

ACC Hill Example

LANE CHANGING

ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely

in the lane in which you are traveling. In the

illustration shown, ACC has not yet detected the

vehicle changing lanes and it may not detect the

vehicle until it's too late for the ACC system to take

action. ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is

completely in the lane. There may not be sufficient

distance to the lane-changing vehicle. Always be

attentive and ready to apply the brakes if

necessary.

Lane Changing Example

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STARTING AND OPERATING

189

NARROW VEHICLES

Some narrow vehicles traveling near the outer

edges of the lane or edging into the lane are not

detected until they have moved fully into the lane.

There may not be sufficient distance to the vehicle

ahead.

Narrow Vehicle Example

STATIONARY OBJECTS AND VEHICLES

ACC does not react to stationary objects or

vehicles. For example, ACC will not react in

situations where the vehicle you are following exits

your lane and the vehicle ahead is stopped in your

lane. It will consider this stopped vehicle a

stationary object as it did not previously detect

movement from it. Always be attentive and ready

to apply the brakes if necessary.

Stationary Object And Stationary Vehicle Example

PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST —

IF EQUIPPED

The ParkSense Park Assist system provides visual

and audible indications of the distance between

the rear, and/or front fascia/bumper, and a

detected obstacle when backing up or moving

forward (e.g. during a parking maneuver).
For limitations of this system and

recommendations, see

page 193.

ParkSense will retain the system state (enabled or

disabled) from the previous ignition cycle when the

ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
ParkSense can be active only when the gear

selector is in REVERSE or DRIVE. If ParkSense is

enabled at one of these gear selector positions,

the system will remain active until the vehicle

speed is increased to approximately 7 mph

(11 km/h) or above. A warning will appear in the

instrument cluster display when the vehicle is in

REVERSE, indicating the vehicle is above

ParkSense operating speed. The system will

become active again if the vehicle speed is

decreased to speeds less than approximately

6 mph (9 km/h).

STARTING AND OPERATING

ARK

ENSE

ENSORS

The four ParkSense sensors, located in the rear

fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind the

vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view.
The sensors can detect obstacles from

approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 79 inches

(200 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper in the

horizontal direction, depending on the location,

type and orientation of the obstacle.
NOTE:

If equipped as a dually, the ParkSense system has

six rear sensors to assist in detection around the

dually flares.

The six ParkSense sensors, located in the front

fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front of the

vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. The

sensors can detect obstacles from approximately

12 inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches (120 cm) from

the front fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction,

depending on the location, type and orientation of

the obstacle.
NOTE:

The dually flares are only protected when the

vehicle is in REVERSE. There is no detection for the

flares when the vehicle is moving forward.

RECAUTIONS

NOTE:



Ensure that the front and rear fascias/bumpers

are free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to

keep the ParkSense system operating properly.



Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibra

tions could affect the performance of Park



ParkSense, when on, will reduce the volume of

the radio when it is sounding a tone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

194

STARTING AND OPERATING



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 obstacles such as bicycle carriers,

trailer hitches, etc. are placed within 18 inches

(45 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper. Failure to

do so can result in the system misinterpreting a

close obstacle as a sensor problem, causing the

“Front/Rear ParkSense Unavailable Service

Required” message to be appear in the instru

ment cluster display.



On vehicles equipped with a tailgate, ParkSense

should be disabled when the tailgate is in the

lowered or open position. A lowered tailgate

could provide a false indication that an obstacle

is behind the vehicle.

LANESENSE — IF EQUIPPED

ANE

ENSE

PERATION

The LaneSense system is operational at speeds

above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph

(180 km/h). It 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 unintentionally drifts out of the lane while no

turn signal has been applied OR the driver departs

the lane on the opposite side of the applied turn

signal (if the left turn signal is applied and the

vehicle departs to the right), the LaneSense

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 vehicles 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 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 recom

mended that the driver looks over his/her

shoulder when using ParkSense.

system provides a haptic warning in the form of

torque applied to the steering wheel to prompt the

driver to remain within the lane boundaries. The

LaneSense system will also provide a visual

warning through the instrument cluster display to

prompt the driver to remain within the lane

boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic

warning by applying torque 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 (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 provides 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.
