STARTING AND DRIVING
138
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. The
driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the
vehicle in all circumstances and must be
able to retake control of it at all times.
The driver must adapt the speed to
climatic conditions, traffic and the state
of the road. It is the driver's responsibility
to constantly monitor traffic conditions,
assess the distance and relative speed
of other vehicles, and anticipate their
manoeuvres before using the direction
indicator and changing lanes. These
systems do not make it possible to exceed
the laws of physics.
174) You should hold the steering wheel
with both hands, always use the door and
interior mirrors, always leave your feet
close to the pedals and take a break every
2 hours.
175) The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and
during the whole manoeuvre, in particular
using the mirrors.
176)
The usage of a license plate support
on the front bumper may affect the proper
radar unit functionality. When using a
license plate support, follow the markings
and indications on the front bumper
177)
The use of mats or pedals covers not
approved by Jeep may interfere with the
operation of the speed limiter or cruise
control. To avoid any risk of jamming the
pedals ensure that the mat is secured
correctly and never fit one mat on top of
another.
IMPORTANT
57) The operation of the radar(s), along
with any associated functions, may be
affected by the accumulation of dirt (e.g.
mud, ice), in poor weather conditions
(e.g. heavy rain, snow), or if the bumpers
are damaged. If the front bumper is to
be repainted, contact a Jeep Dealership;
certain types of paint could interfere with
the operation of the radar(s).
58) This camera and its associated
functions may be impaired or not work
if the windscreen area in front of the
camera is dirty, misty, frosty, covered
with snow, damaged or masked by a
sticker. In humid and cold weather,
demist the windscreen regularly. Poor
visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low
sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating shade and light) can
also impair detection performance. In
the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a Jeep Dealership to recalibrate
the camera; otherwise, the operation
of the associated driving aids may be
disrupted.
59) The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by
the terrain. In the presence of areas in
shade, or in conditions of bright sunlight
or inadequate lighting, the image may
be darkened and with lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
60) The operation of the sensors, as well
as any associated functions, may be
disrupted by noise pollution such as that
emitted by noisy vehicles and machinery
(e.g. lorries, pneumatic drills), by the
accumulation of snow or dead leaves on
the road or in the event of damaged
bumpers and mirrors. When reverse gear
is engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty. A
front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted. The
sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements,
studs) or too thin (trees, posts, wire
fences). Certain obstacles located in the
sensors’ blind spots may not be detected
or may no longer be detected during the
manoeuvre. Certain materials (fabrics)
absorb sound waves: pedestrians may not
be detected.
61) Clean the bumpers and door mirrors
and the field of vision of the cameras
regularly. When washing your vehicle at
high pressure, direct the spray from at
least 30 cm away from the radar, sensors
and cameras.
