Setting The Following Distance In ACC
The specified following distance for ACC can
be set by varying the distance setting be-
tween four bars (longest), three bars (long),
two bars (medium) and one bar (short). Using
this distance setting and the vehicle speed,
ACC calculates and sets the distance to the
vehicle ahead. This distance setting appears
in the instrument cluster display.
To increase the distance setting, push the
Distance Setting — Increase button and re-
lease. Each time the button is pushed, the
distance setting increases by one bar (longer).
To decrease the distance setting, push the
Distance Setting — Decrease button and
release. Each time the button is pushed, the
distance setting decreases by one bar
(shorter).
PARKSENSE REAR PARK
ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Rear Park Assist system pro-
vides visual and audible indications of the
distance between the rear fascia and a de-
tected obstacle when backing up, e.g. duringa parking maneuver. If your vehicle is
equipped with an automatic transmission,
the vehicle brakes may be automatically ap-
plied and released when performing a reverse
parking maneuver if the system detects a
possible collision with an obstacle.
Refer to “ParkSense System Usage Precau-
tions” for limitations of this system and rec-
ommendations.
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 Sensors
The four ParkSense 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 from
approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to
79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction, depend-
ing on the location, type and orientation of
the obstacle.
ParkSense Warning Display
The ParkSense Warning screen will only be
displayed if Sound and Display is selected
from the Customer - Programmable Features
section of the Uconnect System.
Refer to "Uconnect Settings” in “Multime-
dia” in your Owner’s Manual for further infor-
mation.
The ParkSense Warning screen is located
within the instrument cluster display. It pro-
vides visual warnings to indicate the distance
between the rear fascia/bumper and the de-
tected obstacle.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in
your Owner’s Manual for further information.
Enabling And Disabling ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with
the ParkSense switch.
When the ParkSense switch is
pushed to disable the system, the
instrument cluster will display the
“PARKSENSE OFF” message for
approximately five seconds. When the gear
STARTING AND OPERATING
166

selector is moved to REVERSE and the sys-
tem is disabled, the instrument cluster dis-
play will display the “PARKSENSE OFF”
message for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in
your Owner’s Manual for further information.
The ParkSense switch LED will be on when
ParkSense is disabled or requires service.
The ParkSense switch LED will be off when
the system is enabled. If the ParkSense
switch is pushed, and the system requires
service, the ParkSense switch LED will blink
momentarily, and then the LED will be on.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
• Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow,
ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the
ParkSense system operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vi-
brations could affect the performance of
ParkSense.• When you turn ParkSense off, the instru-
ment cluster will display “PARKSENSE
OFF.” Furthermore, once you turn
ParkSense off, it remains off until you turn
it on again, even if you cycle the ignition.
• When you move the gear selector to the
REVERSE position and ParkSense is turned
off, the instrument cluster display will dis-
play “PARKSENSE OFF” message for as
long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
• ParkSense, when on, will reduce the vol-
ume of the radio when it is sounding a tone.
• Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, tak-
ing care not to scratch or damage them. The
sensors must not be covered with ice, snow,
slush, mud, dirt or debris. Failure to do so
can result in the system not working prop-
erly. The ParkSense system might not de-
tect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper,
or it could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the fascia/bumper.
• Use the ParkSense switch to turn the
ParkSense system off if objects such as
bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc. are
placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the
rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a closeobject as a sensor problem, causing the
“PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED” message to be displayed in
the instrument cluster display.
• ParkSense should be disabled when the
liftgate is in the open position and the
vehicle is in REVERSE. An open liftgate
could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the vehicle.
WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using ParkSense. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, look
behind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, ob-
structions, and blind spots before back-
ing up. You are responsible for safety
and must continue to pay attention to
your surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
• Before using ParkSense, it is strongly
recommended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly is disconnected
from the vehicle when the vehicle is not
used for towing. Failure to do so can
167

WARNING!
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
assembly, depending on its size and
shape, giving a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, in-
cluding small obstacles. Parking curbs
might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above
or below the sensors will not be detected
when they are in close proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using ParkSense in order to be able to
stop in time when an obstacle is de-
tected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using ParkSense.
PARKSENSE FRONT AND
REAR PARK ASSIST — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides
visual and audible indications of the distance
between the rear and/or front fascia and a
detected obstacle when backing up or mov-
ing forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
transmission, the vehicle brakes may be au-
tomatically applied and released when per-
forming a reverse parking maneuver if the
system detects a possible collision with an
obstacle.
Refer to “ParkSense System Usage Precau-
tions” in “Starting And Operating” in your
Owner’s Manual 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 Sensors
The four ParkSense 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 from
approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to
79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction, depend-
ing on the location, type and orientation of
the obstacle.
The six ParkSense sensors, located in the
front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front
of the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field
of view. The sensors can detect obstacles
from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to
47 inches (120 cm) from the front fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction, depend-
ing on the location, type and orientation of
the obstacle.
When an object is detected within 79 inches
(200 cm) behind the rear bumper while the
vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will appear
in the instrument cluster display. In addition
a chime will sound (when Sound and Display
is selected from the Customer Programmable
Features section of the Uconnect System

NOTE:
The LaneSense system will retain the last
system state, on or off, from the last ignition
cycle when the ignition is changed to the
ON/RUN position.
LaneSense Warning Message
The LaneSense system will indicate the cur-
rent lane drift condition through the instru-
ment cluster display.
Base Instrument Cluster Display — If Equipped
When the LaneSense system is on; the lane
lines are gray when both of the lane bound-
aries have not been detected and the Lane-
Sense telltale is solid white.
Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
• When the LaneSense system is on, the
LaneSense telltale is solid white when only
the left lane marking has been detected
and the system is ready to provide visual
and haptic warnings in the instrument clus-
ter display if an unintentional lane depar-
ture occurs.• When the LaneSense system senses the
lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the LaneSense system
will show a solid white left line, a solid gray
right line, and a solid yellow telltale.
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the
similar behavior for a right lane departure
when only the right lane marking has been
detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
• When the LaneSense system is on, the lane
lines turn from gray to white to indicate that
both of the lane markings have been de-
tected. The LaneSense telltale is solid
green when both lane markings have been
detected and the system is “armed” to
provide visual warnings in the instrument
cluster display and a torque warning in the
steering wheel if an unintentional lane de-
parture occurs.• When the LaneSense system senses a lane
drift situation, the left thick lane line and
the left thin line turn solid white. The Lane-
Sense telltale changes from solid green to
solid yellow. At this time torque is applied
to the steering wheel in the opposite direc-
tion of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of
the lane the steering wheel will turn to the
right.
• When the LaneSense system senses the
lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes from white to gray, the left thin line
remains solid white and the LaneSense
telltale changes from solid yellow to flash-
ing 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.

Adding AdBlue (UREA)
NOTE:
Driving conditions (altitude, vehicle speed,
load, etc.) will effect the amount of AdBlue
(UREA) that is used in your vehicle.
AdBlue (UREA) Fill Procedure With Pump
Nozzle
NOTE:
Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in the
“Technical Specifications” section for the
correct fluid type.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground. Turn off
the engine by cycling the ignition to the
OFF position. Open the fuel filler and then
unscrew and remove the cap from the
AdBlue (UREA) filler.2. Insert AdBlue (UREA) fill adapter/nozzle
into AdBlue (UREA) fill inlet.
CAUTION!
•To avoid AdBlue (UREA) spillage, and
possible damage to the AdBlue (UREA)
tank from overfilling, do not “top off” the
AdBlue (UREA) tank after filling.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT OVERFILL. AdBlue (UREA) will
freeze below 12ºF (-11ºC). The AdBlue
(UREA) system is designed to work in
temperatures below the AdBlue (UREA)
freezing point, however, if the tank is
overfilled and freezes, the system could
be damaged.
• When AdBlue (UREA) is spilled, clean
the area immediately with water and use
an absorbent material to soak up the
spills on the ground.
• Do not attempt to start your engine if
AdBlue (UREA) is accidentally added to
the diesel fuel tank as it can result in
severe damage to your engine, including
but not limited to failure of the fuel
pump and injectors.
Fuel Filler
1 — AdBlue (UREA) Filler Cap
2 — Fuel Filler
STARTING AND OPERATING
178

CAUTION!
• Never add anything other than AdBlue
(UREA) to the tank – especially any form
of hydrocarbon such as diesel fuel, fuel
system additives, gasoline, or any other
petroleum-based product. Even a very
small amount of these, less than
100 parts per million or less than 1 oz.
(30 ml) per 78 gallons (295 liters) will
contaminate the entire AdBlue (UREA)
system and will require replacement. If
owners use a container, funnel or nozzle
when refilling the tank, it should either
be new or one that is has only been used
for adding AdBlue (UREA). Mopar pro-
vides an attachable nozzle with its Ad-
Blue (UREA) for this purpose.3. Stop filling the AdBlue (UREA) tank im-
mediately when any of the following hap-
pen: AdBlue (UREA) splashes out the fill
inlet, or a AdBlue (UREA) pump nozzle
automatically shuts off.
4. After removing the nozzle, refit the cap on
the AdBlue (UREA) filler by turning it
clockwise until it is fully tightened. Cycle
the ignition to the ACC position (no need
to start the engine).
5. Wait for the warning on the instrument
panel to switch off before moving the
vehicle, the warning light may stay on for
a few seconds to half a minute. In case of
engine start-up and movement of the ve-
hicle, the warning light will remain on for
a longer period of time, but there are no
problems on the engine functionality. If
topping up is done with the AdBlue
(UREA) tank empty, you have to wait two
minutes before starting the vehicle.When Refueling The Additive For Diesel Emis-
sions AdBlue (UREA) With Bottle:
• Park the vehicle on level ground.
• Turn off the engine by cycling the ignition to
the OFF position.
• Open the fuel filler and then unscrew and
remove the cap from the AdBlue (UREA)
filler.
• Press the bottom of the bottle towards the
filler to release the bottle's safety valve and
start topping up; if the level of AdBlue
(UREA) in the bottle.
• Stop filling the AdBlue (UREA) tank imme-
diately when any of the following happen:
AdBlue (UREA) stops flowing from the fill
bottle into the AdBlue (UREA) fill inlet,
AdBlue (UREA) splashes out the fill inlet.
• If the level of AdBlue (UREA) in the bottle
does not drop while topping up, it means
that you have filled the reservoir, so pull the
bottle towards you to re-close the bottle's
safety valve and unscrew the bottle from
the filler.
179

• After removing the bottle, refit the cap on
the AdBlue (UREA) filler by turning it
clockwise until it is fully tightened.
• Cycle the ignition to the ACC position (no
need to start the engine).
• Wait for the warning on the instrument
panel to switch off before moving the ve-
hicle, the warning light may stay on for a
few seconds to half a minute. In case of
engine start-up and movement of the ve-
hicle, the warning light will remain on for a
longer period of time, but there are no
problems on the engine functionality.
• If topping up is done with the AdBlue
(UREA) tank empty, you have to wait two
minutes before starting the vehicle.
NOTE:
The driving conditions (altitude, vehicle
speed, load, etc.) determine the quantity of
AdBlue (UREA) used by the vehicle.AdBlue Tank Filling (UREA) In Cold Environ-
ments
If the vehicle remains idle for a long period at
temperatures below the 12°F (-11 °C), the
AdBlue (UREA) in the tank might freeze. If
the tank AdBlue (UREA) was filled beyond
the maximum level and freezes, it can be
damaged; for this reason it is advisable not to
exceed the maximum level of the tank.
Pay extra attention to avoid exceeding the
maximum level when you use portable con-
tainers for topping up.
Use AdBlue (UREA) only according to DIN
70 070 and ISO 22241-1. Other fluids may
cause damage to the system: also exhaust
emissions would no longer comply with the
law. The distribution companies are respon-
sible for the compliance of their product.Observe the precautions of storage and ser-
vicing, in order to preserve the initial quali-
ties. The manufacturer of the vehicle does
not recognise any guarantee in case of mal-
functions and damage caused to the vehicle
due to the use of AdBlue (UREA) not in
accordance with regulations.
