ball will be much closer to the obstacle
than the rear fascia when the loudspeaker
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.
IMPORTANT
58) 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.
59) The car must be driven slowly when
using ParkSense to be able to stop in
time when the obstacle is detected. It is
recommended that the driver looks over
his/her shoulder when using ParkSense.
60) The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system
to operate correctly. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the sensors while
cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough
or hard cloths. The sensors should be
washed using clean water with the
addition of car shampoo if necessary.
When using special washing equipment
such as high pressure jets or steam
cleaning, clean the sensors very quickly
keeping the jet more than 10 cm away.
61) Only have interventions on the
bumper in the area of the sensors carried
out by a Jeep Dealership. Interventions
on the bumper that are not carried out
properly may compromise the operation of
the parking sensors.
62) Only have the bumper repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the
area of the sensors carried out by a Jeep
Dealership. Incorrect paint application
could affect the operation of the parking
sensors.
PARKSENSE SYSTEM -
Versions with 12 sensors
(where provided)
The ParkSense Park Assist system
provides visual and audible indications
of the distance between the rear and/or
front fascia and a detected obstacle
when backing up or moving forward, e.g.
during a parking maneuver.
Refer to “ParkSense System Usage
Precautions” for limitations of this
system and recommendations.
The ParkSense will retain the last system
state (enabled or disabled) from the last
ignition cycle when the ignition device is
changed to the RUN position.
The ParkSense system is active in all
gear selector positions (including P
(Park) of the dual clutch automatic
transmission), as long as the system
is on. The system will remain active
until the vehicle speed is increased
to approximately 11 km/h or above.
When in R (Reverse) of the dual clutch
automatic transmission and in reverse
(for manual transmission) and above the
system's operating speed, a warning will
appear in the instrument panel display
indicating the vehicle speed is too fast.
The system will become active again if
the vehicle speed is decreased to speeds
less than approximately 9 km/h.
ParkSense Sensors
The parking sensors are 12, 6 located in
the front and 6 in the rear bumpers.
ParkSense Display
Reversing
In reverse, the instrument panel display
will show the park assist system ready
status.
The system will indicate a detected
obstacle by showing a single arc in one
or more regions based on the obstacle’s
distance and location relative to the
vehicle.
If an obstacle is detected in the center
rear region, the display will show a single
solid arc in the center rear region. As the
vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the
display will show the single arc moving
closer to the vehicle and the audible
chime will increase as the objects gets
close to the vehicle.
If an obstacle is detected in the left
and/or right rear zone , the display will
show a single flashing arc in the left
and/or right rear region. As the vehicle
moves closer to the obstacle, the display
will show the single arc moving closer to
the vehicle and the audible chime will
