92 STARTING AND OPERATING
(Continued)
If it is necessary to keep the trailer hitch and hitch ball
assembly mounted for a long period, it is possible to filter
out the trailer hitch and hitch ball assembly presence
within the sensor’s 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 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 to prompt the
driver to remain within the lane boundaries. If the driver
continues to drift out of the lane, the LaneSense system
provides 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 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. When only a single lane marking is
detected, a haptic (torque) warning will not be provided.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met, the Lane-
Sense system will monitor if the driver’s hands are on the
steering wheel and provides an audible 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 end of
the turn signal stalk, located on the left side of
the steering column.
To turn the LaneSense system on, push the LaneSense
button once. A “Lane Sense On” message is shown in the
instrument cluster display.
To turn the LaneSense system off, push the LaneSense
button once.
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.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using Park Assist. 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 Park Assist, 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!
Park Assist 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 Assist 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 Assist.
CAUTION!
