2018 JEEP RENEGADE brake sensor

uneven road surface or obstacles
before the wheels, affect vehicle's
movements, thus preventing it from
following the correct path.
IMPORTANT Manoeuvring is
deactivated if, after about 3 minutes,
parking has not been completed.
End of manoeuvre
The semi-automatic manoeuvre ends
when the display shows the message of
completed manoeuvre.
At the end of the manoeuvre, the driver
resumes control of the car and, if
necessary, has to complete parking
manually.
IMPORTANT INFORMATIONIf the sensors undergo impact which
alters their position, the system operation
could deteriorate considerably.
The system reaches top performance
after the vehicle has covered about
50 km (system "self-calibration").
If the sensors are dirty, covered by
snow, ice or mud or are repainted vs. the
original conditions, the system operation
could result strongly degraded. It is
extremely important that the sensors are
always clean in order for the system to
operate correctly. During cleaning make
sure not to scratch or damage them;
avoid using dry or rough cloths. Thesensors should be washed using clean
water with the addition of car shampoo if
necessary. In washing stations, clean the
sensors quickly, keeping the steam
jet/high pressure washing nozzles at least
10 cm away from the sensors.
Ultrasonic sound sources (e.g.
pneumatic brakes of trucks or air drills)
nearby could negatively influence the
sensor performance.
Sensors may detect a non-existent
obstacle (echo noise) due to mechanical
noises, for example while washing the
vehicle, in the case of rain, strong wind,
hail.
The sensors may not detect objects of
a particular shape or made from
particular materials (very thin poles,
trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes,
anti-parking posts, pavements, rubbish
bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take
great care to check that the vehicle and
its path are actually compatible with the
parking place identified by the system.
The use of (one or more) tyres or
wheels of a different size to those at the
time of vehicle purchase could affect the
operation of the system.
If a trailer (with correctly engaged
socket) is present, the system will be
automatically disabled.
In "Search in progress" mode, the
system could incorrectly identify a
parking place to carry out the manoeuvre(e.g. by a junction, driveways, roads
crossing the direction of travel, etc.).
In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the performance of
the system could be inferior and it may
deactivate.
If a parking manoeuvre is being
carried out between two parked vehicles
alongside the pavement, the system may
cause the vehicle to mount the
pavement.
Some manoeuvres at very tight bends
might be impossible to be carried out.
Take great care to ensure that
conditions do not change during the
parking manoeuvre (e.g. if there are
persons and/or animals in the parking
place, moving vehicles, etc.) and
intervene immediately if necessary.
During parking manoeuvres, pay
attention to cars approaching from the
opposite direction. Always comply with
the prescriptions of the Highway Code.
IMPORTANT Correct system operation
is not guaranteed if snow chains or the
space-saver wheel are fitted.
IMPORTANT The function only informs
the driver about the last appropriate
parking place (parallel or
perpendicular) detected by the parking
sensors.

STARTING AND DRIVING

OPERATION WITH A TRAILER
The system is automatically deactivated
when the trailer's electric plug is inserted
in the vehicle's tow hook socket. The rear
sensors are automatically reactivated
when the trailer's cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the Side Distance
Warning 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 outspecific 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.
Before using the ParkSense system, it is
recommended to remove the removable
tow hook ball assembly and the relevant
attachment from the vehicle when the
latter is not used for towing operations.
Failure to comply with this prescription
may cause personal injuries or damage 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. If you wish to leave the
tow hook fitted without towing a trailer, it
is advisable to contact a Jeep Dealership
for the ParkSense system update
operations because the tow hook could
be detected as an obstacle by the central
sensors.
The presence of stickers on the
sensors can adversely affect the correct
operation of the system. Therefore, take
care not to place adhesives on the
sensors.
IMPORTANT
66)The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. While cleaning the
sensors, make sure not to scratch or
damage 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.
67)Only have the bumpers 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.

SYMBOLS AND MESSAGES ON
THE DISPLAY
The active line grid is positioned on the
image to illustrate the width of the
vehicle and the expected reversing path
in accordance with the steering wheel
position.
A superimposed central broken line
indicates the centre of the car to
facilitate parking manoeuvres or tow hook
alignment.
The various coloured areas indicate the
distance from the rear part of the car.
AreaDistance from the rear
part of the car
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
144)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.
IMPORTANT
74)It is vital, for correct operation, that
the camera is always kept clean and free
from any 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. Also, do not apply stickers to the
camera.
