154 STARTING AND OPERATING 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. WARNING! LANESENSE — IF EQUIPPED Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recom L ANE S ENSE O PERATION Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense system off if obstacles such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc. are placed within 18inches (45 cm) of 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. 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. The LaneSense system is operational at speeds above 37mph (60km/h) and below 112mph (180km/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 drifts out of the lane (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 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. 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. 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 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 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. (Continued) 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. When only a single lane marking is detected, a haptic (torque) warning will not be provided.
