it is recommended to remove the
removable tow hook ball assembly and
any attachments from the car when it is
not used for towing operations. If you
wish to leave the tow hook fitted without
towing a trailer, it is advisable to contact
your Jeep Dealership for the ParkSense
system update operations because
the tow hook could be detected as an
obstacle by the central sensors.
WARNING
281) Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always
make sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the
route you want to take. The parking
sensors are an aid for the driver, but the
driver must never allow their attention
to lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds.
282) 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 because 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 indication that
an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
IMPORTANT
73) 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.
74) 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.
75) 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.
76) 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.
77) 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.
ACTIVE PARKSENSE
SYSTEM (AUTOMATIC
PARK ASSIST)
(where provided)
The system helps the driver to find a
suitable free parking spot according
to the length of the car (for parallel
parking) or width (for perpendicular
parking) and automatically manages
the steering wheel movement during
manoeuvring.
The Active ParkSense (Automatic Park
Assist) system is defined as “semi-
automatic” since the driver maintains
control of the accelerator, gear selector
and brakes. Depending on the driver's
parking manoeuvre selection, the Active
ParkSense (Automatic Park Assist)
system is capable of manoeuvring a car
into a parallel or a perpendicular parking
space on either side (i.e., driver side or
passenger side), as well as exiting a
parallel parking space.
NOTES:
The driver is always responsible for
controlling the car, responsible for any
surrounding objects, and must intervene
as required.
The system is provided to assist the
driver and not to substitute the driver.
During a semi-automatic manoeuvre,
if the driver touches the steering wheel
after being instructed to remove their
hands from the steering wheel, the
system will cancel, and the driver will
