2014 JEEP RENEGADE sensor

PARKSENSE
SYSTEM
SENSORS
126)42) 43)The parking sensors, located in the rear
bumper fig. 96, are used to detect the
presence of any obstacles near the rear
part of the vehicle.
The sensors warn the driver about the
presence of obstacles with an
intermittent acoustic signal and, where
provided, also with visual indications
on the instrument panel display.
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
If the system has been correctly turned
on, it will activate automatically when
the reverse is engaged.
Instead, the system automatically
deactivates bringing the gear lever to a
position different from reverse.
ENGAGEMENT/
DISENGAGEMENT
To disengage the system press button
fig. 97.
When the system passes from engaged
to disengaged and viceversa, it is
always accompanied by a dedicated
message shown on the instrument
panel display.When the system is disengaged, the
LED on the button is off. Instead, if the
system is disengaged, the LED is on
constantly. The LED lights up also in the
case of a fault to theParkSense® sys-
tem.
If the button is pressed with the system
faulty, the LED flashes for about 5
seconds, then it stays on constantly.
IMPORTANT After theParkSense®
has been disengaged, it will stay in this
condition until the following engage-
ment, even if the ignition device passes
from MAR to STOP and then again to
MAR.
OPERATION WITH
TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is
automatically deactivated when the
trailer's electric plug is inserted in the
vehicle's tow hook socket.

STARTING AND DRIVING

The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug
is removed. Before using thePark-
Sense® system, it is recommended to
remove the tow hook ball assembly and
the relevant attachment from the vehi-
cle when the latter is not used for tow-
ing operations. Failure to comply with
this prescription may cause personal
injuries or damages to vehicles or
obstacles since, when the continuous
acoustic signal is emitted, the tow hook
ball is already in a position that is much
closer to the obstacle than the rear
bumper.
In addition, the sensors may detect the
tow hook ball assembly and the
relevant attachment (depending on its
size and shape), providing a false
indication of the presence of an
obstacle in the area behind the vehicle.
GENERAL WARNINGS
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the parking system:
❒reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence of: ice, snow, mud, thick
paint, on the surface of the sensor;
❒the sensor may detect a non-existent
obstacle ("echo interference") due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle, in rain
(strong wind), hail;❒the signals sent by the sensor can
also be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems of trucks or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle;
❒Parking assistance system
performance can also be influenced by
the position of the sensors, for example
due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock
absorbers, suspension), or by changing
tyres, overloading the vehicle or
carrying out specific tuning operations
that require the vehicle to be lowered.
❒the presence of a tow hook without
trailer, which may interfere with the
correct operation of the parking
sensors.
❒the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Thus take care not to place
adhesives on the sensors.
WARNING
126)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 drive into. 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.
WARNING
42)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.
43)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.

A superimposed central broken line
indicates the centre of the vehicle
to facilitate parking manoeuvres or tow
hook alignment.
The various coloured areas indicate the
distance from the rear of the vehicle.
Area (reference
fig. 100)Distance from the
rear of the vehicle
Red (A) 0–30 cm
Yellow (B) 30–100 cm
Green (C) 1 m or more
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
127)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a
slow speed, so as to promptly brake in the
case of obstacles.
WARNING
50)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free
from mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed
using clean water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets,
clean the camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Do not apply stickers to the
camera.

STARTING AND DRIVING

BATTERY
RECHARGING
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT After placing the ignition
device to STOP and having closed
the driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to
the battery, make sure that the ignition
device is in the STOP position and
the driver side door is closed.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.IMPORTANT The cables of the
electrical system must be correctly
reconnected to the battery, i.e. the
positive cable (+) to the positive
terminal and the negative cable (–) to
the negative terminal. The battery
terminals are marked with the positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols, and are
shown on the battery cover. The battery
terminals must also be corrosion-free
and firmly secured to the terminals. If a
"quick-type" battery charger is used
with the battery fitted on the vehicle,
before connecting it disconnect both
cables of the battery itself. Do not use a
"quick-type" battery charger to provide
the starting voltage.
VERSIONS WITHOUT
STOP/START SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:
❒disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
❒connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when it is recharged, turn the charger
off before disconnecting it from the
battery;
❒reconnect the negative battery
terminal.
VERSIONS WITH
STOP/START SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:
❒disconnect the connector A fig. 151
(pressing the button B) from the sensor
C monitoring the battery conditions,
on the negative pole (–) D of the
battery;
❒connect the positive cable (+) of the
battery charger to the positive battery
terminal E and the negative cable (–) to
sensor terminal D as shown;
❒turn on the battery charger. At the
end of the charging process, switch the
battery charger off;
❒after having disconnected the
charger, reconnect connector A to the
sensor C as in fig. 151.
