2015 JEEP CHEROKEE wheel

•When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been
approached and is in a lane departure situation, the
left thick lane line flashes yellow (on/off) and the left
thin line remains solid yellow. The LaneSense indicator
changes from solid yellow to flashing yellow. At this
time torque is applied to the steering wheel in the
opposite direction of the lane boundary.
•For example: If approaching the left side of the lane
the steering wheel will turn to the right.
NOTE:The LaneSense system operates with the similar
behavior for a right lane departure.

Changing LaneSense Status
The LaneSense system has settings to adjust the intensity
of the torque warning and the warning zone sensitivity
(early/late) that you can configure through the
Uconnect® system screen. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings”
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
NOTE:
•When enabled the system operates above 37 mph
(60 km/h) and below 112 mph (180 km/h).
•Use of the turn signal suppresses the warnings.
•The system will not apply torque to the steering wheel
whenever a safety system engages. (anti-lock brakes,
traction control system, electronic stability control,
forward collision warning, etc.).
PARKSENSE® REAR PARK ASSIST — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist system provides visual
and audible indications of the distance between the rear
fascia and a detected obstacle when backing up, e.g.
during a parking maneuver. Refer to ParkSense® System
Usage Precautions for limitations of this system and
recommendations.
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/gear
selector is in REVERSE. If ParkSense® is enabled at this
shift lever/gear selector position, the system will remain
active until the vehicle speed is increased to approxi-
mately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. When in REVERSE
and above the system’s operating speed, a warning will
appear within the Electronic Vehicle Information Center

WARNING!(Continued)
•Before using ParkSense®, it is strongly recom-
mended that the ball mount and hitch ball assem-
bly 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 assem-
bly, depending on its size and shape, giving a false
indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
PARKSENSE® ACTIVE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense® Active Park Assist system is intended to
assist the driver during parallel and perpendicular park-
ing maneuvers by identifying a proper parking space,
providing audible/visual instructions, and controlling
the steering wheel. The ParkSense® Active Park Assist
system is defined as “semi-automatic” since the driver
maintains control of the accelerator, shift lever and
brakes. Depending on the driver’s parking maneuver
selection, the ParkSense® Active Park Assist system is
capable of maneuvering a vehicle into a parallel or a
perpendicular parking space on either side (i.e., driver
side or passenger side).
NOTE:
•The driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle, 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 maneuver, if the driver
touches the steering wheel after being instructed to
3
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 261

remove their hands from the steering wheel, the sys-
tem will cancel, and the driver will be required to
manually complete the parking maneuver.
•The system may not work in all conditions (e.g.
environmental conditions such as heavy rain, snow,
etc., or if searching for a parking space that has
surfaces that will absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
•New vehicles from the dealership must have at least 30
miles accumulated before the ParkSense® Active Park
Assist system is fully calibrated and performs accu-
rately. This is due to the system’s dynamic vehicle
calibration to improve the performance of the feature.
The system will also continuously perform the dy-
namic vehicle calibration to account for differences
such as over or under inflated tires and new tires.
Enabling And Disabling The ParkSense® Active
Park Assist System
The ParkSense® Active Park Assist system can be en-
abled and disabled with the ParkSense® Active Park
Assist switch, located on the switch panel below the
Uconnect® display.
ParkSense® Active Park Assist Switch
262 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

To enable the ParkSense® Active Park Assist system,
press the ParkSense® Active Park Assist switch once
(LED turns on).
To disable the ParkSense® Active Park Assist system,
press the ParkSense® Active Park Assist switch again
(LED turns off).
The ParkSense® Active Park Assist system will turn off
automatically for any of the following conditions:
•The parking maneuver is completed.
•Vehicle speed greater than 18 mph (30 km/h) when
searching for a parking space.
•Vehicle speed greater than 5 mph (7 km/h) during
active steering guidance into the parking space.
•Touching the steering wheel during active steering
guidance into the parking space.
•Pressing the ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist
switch.
•Driver’s door is opened.
•Rear liftgate is opened.
•Electronic Stability Control/Anti-lock Braking System
intervention.
•The ParkSense® Active Park Assist system will allow a
maximum of six shifts between DRIVE (automatic
transmission) or forward gear (manual transmission)
and REVERSE. If the maneuver cannot be completed
within six shifts, the system will cancel and the EVIC/
DID will instruct the driver to complete the maneuver
manually.

The ParkSense® Active Park Assist system will only
operate and search for a parking space when the follow-
ing conditions are present:
•Gear position is in DRIVE (automatic transmission) or
in a forward gear (manual transmission).
•Ignition is in the RUN position.
•ParkSense® Active Park Assist switch is activated.
•Driver’s door is closed.
•Rear liftgate is closed.
•Vehicle speed is less than 15 mph (25 km/h).
NOTE:If the vehicle is driven above approximately
15 mph (25 km/h), the EVIC/DID will instruct the driver
to slow down. If the vehicle is driven above approxi-
mately 18 mph (30 km/h), the system will cancel. The
driver must then reactivate the system by pressing the
ParkSense® Active Park Assist switch.
•The outer surface and the underside of the front and
rear fascias/bumpers are clean and clear of snow, ice,
mud, dirt or other obstruction.
When pressed, the LED on the ParkSense® Active Park
Assist switch will blink momentarily, and then the LED
will turn OFF if any of the above conditions are not
present.
Parallel Parking Space Assistance Operation/
Display
When the ParkSense® Active Park Assist system is
enabled the “Active ParkSense Searching - Press OK to
Switch to Perpendicular” message will appear in the
EVIC/DID display. You may switch to perpendicular
parking if you desire. Push the OK button on the left side
steering wheel switch to change your parking space
setting.

When an available parking space has been found, and the
vehicle is not in position, you will be instructed to move
forward to position the vehicle for a parallel parking
sequence.
Once the vehicle is in position, you will be instructed to
