Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 2014, Operating Manual

•
When you move the shift lever to the
REVERSE position and ParkSense® is
turned off, the instrument cluster will dis-
play “PARKSENSE OFF” for as long as
the vehicle is in REVERSE.
•
ParkSense®, when on, will reduce the
volume of the radio when it is sounding a
tone.
•
Clean the ParkSense® sensors regularly,
taking care not to scratch or damage
them. The sensors must not be covered
with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris.
Failure to do so can result in the system
not working properly. The ParkSense®
system might not detect an obstacle be-
hind 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.
•
Use the ParkSense® switch to turn the
ParkSense® system off if objects such as
bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc. are
placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the rear
fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can result
in the system misinterpreting a close ob-
ject as a sensor problem, causing the
“PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED” message to be displayed in
the instrument cluster.
•
On vehicles equipped with a tailgate,
ParkSense® should be disabled when the
tailgate is in the lowered or open position.
A lowered tailgate could provide a false
indication that an obstacle is behind the
vehicle.
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.

CAUTION! (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 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.
