Jeep Renegade, Owner'S Handbook Manual

The detection area of the system
covers about a lane on both sides of
the vehicle (around 3 metres). This area
begins from the door mirror and
extends for about 6 metres towards the
rear part of the vehicle.
When the sensors are active the system
monitors the detection areas on both
sides of the vehicle and warns the
driver about the possible presence of
vehicles in these areas.
While driving the system monitors the
detection area from three different input
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether a signal needs to be sent
to the driver. The system can detect the
presence of a vehicle in one of these
three areas.
Important
63)
The system does not signal the
presence of fixed object (e.g. safety
barriers, poles, walls, etc.). However, in
some circumstances, the system may
activate in the presence of these
objects. This is normal and does not
indicate a system malfunction.
The system does not warn the driver
about the presence of vehicles coming
from the opposite direction, in the
adjacent lanes.
If a trailer is hitched to the vehicle, the
system automatically deactivates.
The rear bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the
road surface for the system to operate
correctly.
Do not cover the rear bumper area
where the radar sensors are located
with any object (e.g. adhesives, bike
rack, etc.).
Rear view : the system detects vehicles
approaching to the rear part of your
vehicle on both sides and entering the
rear detection area with a speed delta
lower than 50 km/h with respect to your
vehicle.
Overtaking vehicles : if another vehicle
is overtaken slowly (with a speed delta
lower than about 25 km/h) and this
stays in the blind spot for about 1.5
seconds, the warning light on the door
mirror of the corresponding side lights
up. If the speed delta between the
two vehicles is higher than about 25
km/h, the warning light does not light
up.
RCP (Rear Cross Path
detection) system
This system helps the driver during
reverse manoeuvres in the case of
reduced visibility. During "RCP"
operating mode, the system emits
acoustic and visual warnings if
the presence of an object is detected.
When an acoustic warning is sent,
the
Uconnect
™
volume is lowered.
The system can be activated/
deactivated through the display Menu
or the
Uconnect
™
system.
The system monitors the rear detection
areas on both sides of the vehicle, to
detect objects moving towards the
sides of the vehicle at a minimum
speed comprised between about 1
km/h and 3 km/h and objects moving
at a maximum speed of 35 km/h, as
generally happens in the parking areas.
The system activation is signalled to
the driver by means of a visual and
acoustic warning.
IMPORTANT If the sensors are covered
by objects or vehicles, the system will
not warn the driver.
