2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE evic system

Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the
system from warning you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you.
NOTE:
In the “Off” setting FCW OFF will be dis-
played in the EVIC.NOTE:
•
The system will retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut
down.
• FCW will not react to irrelevant objects
such as overhead objects, ground reflec-
tions, objects not in the path of the car,
stationary objects that are far away, on-
coming traffic, or leading vehicles with
the same or higher rate of speed.
• FCW will be disabled like ACC below with
the unavailable screens. FCW Unavailable Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays
“ACC/FCW Unavailable, Vehicle System Error”,
there may be a temporary malfunction that
limits FCW functionality. Although the vehicle is
still drivable under normal conditions, FCW will
be temporarily unavailable. If this occurs, try
activating FCW again later, following a key
cycle. If the problem persists, see your autho-
rized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays
“ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Radar Sen-
sor”, it indicates there is an internal system fault.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under nor-
mal conditions, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.

PARKSENSE® FRONT AND
REAR PARK ASSIST — IF
EQUIPPED
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 recommenda-
tions.
ParkSense® will retain the last system state
(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle
when the ignition is changed to the ON/RUN
position.
ParkSense® can be active only when the shift
lever is in REVERSE or DRIVE. If ParkSense®
is enabled at one of these shift lever positions,
the system will remain active until the vehicle
speed is increased to approximately 7 mph
(11 km/h) or above. The system will become
active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to
speeds less than approximately 6 mph (9 km/h).
ParkSense® SensorsThe four ParkSense® sensors, located in the
rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind the
vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view.
The sensors can detect obstacles from approxi-
mately 12 in (30 cm) up to 59 in (150 cm) from
the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal direc-
tion, depending on the location, type and orien-
tation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense® sensors, located in the
front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front of
the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of
view. The sensors can detect obstacles from
approximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 47 in (120 cm)
from the front fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
ParkSense® Warning DisplayThe ParkSense® Warning screen will only be
displayed if Sound and Display is selected from
the Customer-Programmable Features section
of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center(EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
The ParkSense® Warning Display is located in
the Instrument cluster’s EVIC display. It pro-
vides both visual and audible warnings to indi-
cate the distance between the rear fascia/
bumper and/or front fascia/bumper and the
detected obstacle.
ParkSense® Warning Display

ParkSense® DisplayThe warning display will turn ON indicating the
system status when the vehicle is in REVERSE
or when the vehicle is in DRIVE and an obstacle
has been detected.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by
showing three solid arcs and will produce a
one-half second tone. As the vehicle moves
closer to the object the EVIC display will show
fewer arcs and the sound tone will change from
slow, to fast, to continuous.The vehicle is close to the obstacle when the
EVIC display shows one flashing arc and
sounds a continuous tone. The following chart
shows the warning alert operation when the
system is detecting an obstacle:

Service The ParkSense® Park Assist
System
When the ParkSense Park Assist System is
malfunctioning, the instrument cluster will actu-
ate a single chime, once per ignition cycle, and
it will display the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SEN-
SORS” or the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYS-
TEM” message. The instrument cluster will dis-
play the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS”
message when any of the rear or front sensors
are blocked by snow, mud, or ice. The instru-
ment cluster will display the “SERVICE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM” message when any of the
rear or front sensors are damaged and require
service.
When the shift lever is moved to REVERSE or
DRIVE and the system has detected a faulted
condition, the EVIC will display the “CLEAN
PARK ASSIST SENSORS” or the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message for appro-
priately five seconds. Then, when the shift lever
is moved to REVERSE, the EVIC will display
the “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” message foras long as the vehicle is in REVERSE. Under
this condition ParkSense will not operate. Refer
to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
If the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” mes-
sage appears in the Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) make sure the outer surface
and the underside of the rear fascia/bumper
and/or front fascia/bumper is clean and clear of
snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction and
then cycle the ignition. If the message continues
to appear, see an authorized dealer.
If the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” mes-
sage appears in the EVIC, see an authorized
dealer.
Cleaning The ParkSense® SystemClean the ParkSense® sensors with water, car
wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or
hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sensors.
Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.

• When you turn ParkSense® off, the in-
strument cluster will display “PARK AS-
SIST SYSTEM OFF.” Furthermore, once
you turn ParkSense® off, it remains off
until you turn it on again, even if you cycle
the ignition key.
• When you move the shift lever to the
REVERSE position and ParkSense is
turned off, the instrument cluster will dis-
play “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” mes-
sage for as long as the vehicle is in

4.Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light — If Equipped
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” in the instrument
cluster will come on when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON/
RUN position. It should go out with
the engine running. If the “ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continu-
ously with the engine running, a malfunction
has been detected in the ESC system. If this
light remains on after several ignition cycles,
and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph
(48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon
as possible to have the problem diagnosed and
corrected.
NOTE:
The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”
come on momentarily each time the ignition
switch is turned to ON/RUN. Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN,
the ESC system will be ON, even if it was
turned off previously.
The ESC system will make buzzing or click-
ing sounds when it is active. This is normal;
the sounds will stop when ESC becomes
inactive following the maneuver that caused
the ESC activation.
5.
TOW/HAUL Indicator Light — If Equipped
This light will illuminate when the
TOW/HAUL button has been se-
lected. The TOW/HAUL button is lo-
cated in the center of the instrument
panel (below the climate controls).
6. Turn Signal IndicatorThe arrows will flash with the exterior
turn signals when the turn signal lever
is operated. A tone will chime, and an
EVIC message will appear if the turn signals are
left on for more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
NOTE:
Check for an inoperative outside light bulb if
either indicator flashes at a rapid rate. 7. High Beam Indicator
Indicates that headlights are on high
beam.
8. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped This indicator will illuminate when the
front fog lights are on.
9. Hill Descent Control Indicator Light — If
Equipped The symbol indicates the status of
the Hill Decent Control (HDC) fea-
ture. The lamp will be on solid
when HDC is armed. HDC can only
be armed when the transfer case is
in the “4WD Low” position and the vehicle
speed is less then 30 mph (48 km/h). If these
conditions are not met while attempting to use
the HDC feature, the HDC indicator lamp will
flash on/off.
