MIRRORS
Inside Day/Night Mirror — If Equipped
A single ball joint mirror is provided in the vehicle. It is
a twist on mirror that has a fixed position at the wind-
shield. The mirror head can be adjusted up, down, left,
and right for various drivers. The mirror should be
adjusted to center on the view through the rear window.
Headlight glare from vehicles behind you can be reduced
by moving the small control under the mirror to the night
position (toward the rear of the vehicle). The mirror
should be adjusted while the small control under the
mirror is set in the day position (toward the windshield).

to center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight
overlap of the view obtained on the inside mirror.

PARKSENSE REAR PARK ASSIST — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Rear Park Assist system provides an
audible indication of the distance between the rear
fascia/bumper 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.
The ParkSense Rear Park Assist is automatically acti-
vated when the transmission is placed into REVERSE. As
the distance from an obstacle behind the vehicle de-
creases, the audible alert becomes more frequent.
Interaction With Trailer Towing
The Rear Park Assist system is automatically deactivated
when a trailer equipped by MOPAR is hitched to the
vehicle. The system will be automatically activated as
soon as the trailer is removed. If it does not happen,turning the key ignition switch to OFF and then to ON
again would be needed. In case of a non MOPAR trailer
hitches are mounted the sensor deactivation cannot be
guaranteed.
ParkSense Rear Park Assist Sensors
The four ParkSense Rear Park Assist 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, in the horizontal direction,
from approximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 55 in (140 cm)
from the center of the rear fascia/bumper and up to 24 in
(60 cm) from the corners of the rear fascia/bumper,
depending on the location, type and orientation of the
obstacle.
