Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015, Operating Information Manual

Page: 143 / 878

CAUTION!
•
ParkSense® is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, includ-
ing 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 recommended that the driver looks
over
his/her shoulder when using
ParkSense®.
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, ob-
structions, 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.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
Before using ParkSense®, it is strongly
recommended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly is 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 be-
cause the hitch 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 indi-
cation that an obstacle is behind the ve-
hicle.
