STARTING AND OPERATING71
ParkSense Rear Park Assist Alerts
If an obstacle is behind the vehicle when REVERSE gear is engaged, an audible alert is activated.
The tones emitted by the loudspeaker inform the driver that the vehicle is approaching an obstacle. The pauses between the tones are directly 
proportional to the distance from the obstacle. Pulses emitted in quick succession indicate the presence of a very close obstacle. A continuous tone 
indicates that the obstacle is less than 12 inches (30 cm) away.
While audible signals are emitted, the audio system is muted.
The audible signal is turned off immediately if the distance increases. The tone cycle remains constant if the distance measured by the inner sensors 
is constant. If this condition occurs for the external sensors, the signal is turned off after three seconds (stopping warnings during maneuvers parallel 
to walls).

JUMP STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can 
be jump started using a set of jumper cables 
and a battery in another vehicle or by using a 
portable battery booster pack. Jump starting 
can be dangerous if done improperly, so please 
follow the procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack, 
follow FCA US LLC operating instructions and 
precautions.
WARNING!
Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire 
repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired 
or replaced after using Tire Service Kit. Do 
not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) until the tire is 
repaired or replaced. Failure to follow this 
warning can result in injuries that are serious 
or fatal to you, your passengers, and others 
around you. Have the tire checked as soon as 
possible at an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
The metal end fitting from Power Plug may get 
hot after use, so it should be handled 
carefully.
WARNING!
Store the sealant canister in its special 
compartment, away from sources of heat. 
Failure to follow this WARNING may result in 
sealant canister rupture and serious injury or 
death.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is 
frozen. It could rupture or explode and cause 
personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or 
any other booster source with a system 
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to 
the battery, starter motor, alternator or 
electrical system may occur.
