ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
To insert the system, press the button
fig. 125: the instructions needed to carry
out the manoeuvre are shown on the
instrument panel screen.
System on: LED light on steady/System
off: LED off.
The LED lights up also in the case of a
failure to theActive ParkSense®system.
If the button is pressed with the system
faulty, the LED flashes for about
5 seconds, then it stays off.
IMPORTANT The use of wheels of a
different size to those at the time of
vehicle purchase could affect the
system and prevent correct operation.
OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM
When searching for a parking place, the
system uses the side sensors (fig. 126),
which are automatically activated with
engine on and speed below 30 km/h.During the manoeuvre the driver is also
assisted by information from the parking
sensors (4 front and 4 rear) which
provide further distance information
when approaching obstacles in front of
and behind the vehicle.
If theActive ParkSense®function is
activated after having previously
deactivated theParkSense®function, the
sensors are activated once more and stay
in this condition only during the parking
movement.

STARTING AND DRIVING
PARALLEL AND
PERPENDICULAR PARKING
DESCRIPTION
Activation
The system is activated pressing the
button on the dashboard (see "On/off"
paragraph): after being selected, the
system activates in search mode.
Considering that the system recognises
parking places even when it has not been
selected, it can be activated even
immediately after passing close to a
parking place suitable for the type of car.
The system will inform the driver,
through the instrument panel display,
about the operations to be performed for
a correct manoeuvre.
Selecting the type of parking
During the search and until the reverse
gear is engaged, the preferred type can
be selected for parking:
"Parallel": the car will search a parking
place parallel to the driving direction;
"Perpendicular": the vehicle will
search a parking place perpendicular to
the driving direction.
Selection of the search side
To select the search side and perform the
correct manoeuvre, act as follows:
Select the search for the parking
place and the manoeuvre on thepassenger side placing the direction
indicator in centre position (deactivated)
or pushed upwards.
Select the search for the parking
area and manoeuvre on the driver side
pushing the direction indicator
downwards.
Search for a parking place
Through the side sensors, the system
continuously searches for a free parking
place, suitable for the car’s dimensions.
While searching the vehicle should
continue following its route at a speed of
below 30 km/h and at a distance of
around 50 cm to 1.5 m from parked
vehicles.
A parking place is considered suitable if
it is about 80 cm longer than the
dimensions of the vehicle for parking
placesparallelto the driving direction
and about 1 m per parking places
perpendicularto the driving direction,
compared to the vehicle's dimensions.
IMPORTANT While searching, vehicle
speed should not exceed 30 km/h;
when 25 km/h have been reached, the
driver is asked to decrease the speed;
if the speed of 30 km/h is exceeded, it
is deactivated (in this case, the system
can be restarted by pressing the button
on the instrument panel).
Manoeuvre
During manoeuvre, the vehicle's
movements can be controlled by
operating the accelerator, brake and
clutch pedals (versions with manual
gearbox), or the accelerator and brake
pedals (versions with automatic
transmission). Once a parking place has
been found, you will be asked to engage
reverse, leave the steering wheel and use
the pedals, while the system handles the
steering automatically to perform the
parking operation in the dedicated area.
During the manoeuvre it will be possible
to take advantage of the information
coming from the parking sensors (when
driving in reverse it is advisable to reach
the area where the rear sensors sound
continuously), but it is always advisable
to keep an eye on the surrounding area.
The car can be stopped during the
manoeuvre and, whilst remaining
stationary, reverse gear can temporarily
be released (for example, to allow a
pedestrian to go by in the area of the
manoeuvre).
The parking manoeuvre will be
interrupted in the following cases:
vehicle's speed is above 7 km/h;the steering is (voluntarily or
unintentionally) moved (by grabbing it or
preventing it from moving);
173
IMPORTANT Some messages displayed
are accompanied by acoustic warnings.
WARNING
141)Parking and other 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 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.
142)The search for the parking space and
the parking manoeuvres must be
performed in compliance with the current
regulations of the Highway Code.
143)If you wish to stop the steering wheel
with your hands during a manoeuvre, it is
advisable to handle it firmly on the outer
rim. Do not try and keep your hands on
the inside or hold the spokes.
IMPORTANT
64)The operation of the system is based
on various components: front and rear
parking sensors, side sensors, steering
system, wheels, braking system and
instrument panel. The malfunction of one
of these components could compromise
the operation of the system.
65)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.
175
SIDE DISTANCE WARNING
SYSTEM
(where provided)
66)
The Side Distance Warning system has
the function of detecting the presence of
side obstacles near the vehicle using the
parking sensors located in the front
(fig. 127 ) and rear (fig. 128 ) bumpers.
The system warns the driver with an
acoustic signal and, where provided, with
visual indications on the instrument
panel display.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The system can operate only after driving
a short distance and if the vehicle speed
is between 0 and 18 km/h (0 and
11 mph).
The system can be activated/deactivated
via the "Settings" menu of the
Uconnect™system (for further
information see the dedicated
supplement).

STARTING AND DRIVING
LANESENSE SYSTEM (lane
crossing warning)
DESCRIPTION
68) 69) 70) 71) 72) 73)
The LaneSense system makes use of a
camera located on the windscreen to
detect the lane limits and calculate the
position of the vehicle within such limits,
in order to make sure that it remains
inside the lane.
When both limits of the lane are detected
and the vehicle crosses one of them
without the awareness of the driver
(direction indicator off), the system
provides a tactile warning by applying
torque to the steering wheel, signalling
the driver that he must take an action to
remain into the lane.
If the vehicle continues going beyond the
line of the lane without any intervention
from the driver, the
warning light (or
the corresponding graphic icon on the
reconfigurable multifunction display) will
be displayed on the instrument panel to
urge the driver to bring the vehicle back
into the limits of the lane.
IMPORTANT The system monitors the
presence of the driver's hands on the
steering wheel. If they are not detected,the system emits an acoustic signal and
deactivates until it is reactivated by
pressing the dedicated button.
When one limit of the lane is detected
and the vehicle crosses it (direction
indicator off), warning light
(or the
icon on the reconfigurable multifunction
display) will be displayed on the
instrument panel to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back into the lane. In
this case, the tactile warning (torque on
the steering wheel) is not provided.
SYSTEM ON/OFF
When the engine is started the system is
activated (LED on buttonfig. 129 off).
Each time the engine is started, the
system keeps the activation status there
was when it was previously switched off.Activation conditions
Once switched on, the system becomes
active only if the following conditions are
met:
the driver always keeps at least one
hand on the steering wheel;
vehicle speed ranges within 60 km/h
and 180 km/h (or equivalent values in
miles);
the lane limit lines are perfectly
visible on both sides;
there are suitable visibility conditions;the road is straight or with wide radius
bends;
a suitable distance is kept from the
vehicle in front;
the direction indicator (for leaving the
lane) is not active;
the lane limit lines are perfectly
visible on both sides (for activation of the
tactile warning only).
NOTE The system does not apply torque
to the steering wheel every time a safety
system is activated (brakes, ABS, ASR
system, ESC system, Forward Collision
Warning Plus system, etc.).
