70STARTING AND OPERATING
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the
RES (+) button and release. Resume can be used
at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h) up to the maximum speed of 100 mph (160 km/h).
To Deactivate
A tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CAN
button, or normal brake pressure will deactivate
the Cruise Control system without erasing the
set speed from memory.
Pushing the on/off button or turning the ignition
switch off erases the set speed from memory.
PARKSENSE REAR PARK ASSIST — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense 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)
Ú page 72.
The ParkSense system is automatically
activated when the transmission is placed into
REVERSE. As the distance from an obstacle
behind the vehicle decreases, the audible alert
becomes more frequent. Interaction With Trailer Towing
The ParkSense 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. If a non-Mopar trailer hitch is
mounted, the sensor deactivation cannot be
guaranteed.
ParkSense Rear Park Assist 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, in the
horizontal direction, from approximately
12 inches (30 cm) up to 55 inches (140 cm)
from the center of the rear fascia/bumper and
up to 24 inches (60 cm) from the corners of the
rear fascia/bumper, depending on the location,
type and orientation of the obstacle.
ParkSense Rear Park Assist Sensors Locations
If several obstacles are detected, the
ParkSense system indicates the nearest
obstacle.
The minimum height of a detectable obstacle
corresponds to the maximum height of an
obstacle that would clear the underside of the
vehicle during the parking maneuver.

STARTING AND OPERATING73
(Continued)
If it’s necessary to keep the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly mounted for a long period,
it is possible to filter out the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly presence in the sensor field
of view. The filtering operation must be
performed only by an authorized dealer.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA
Your vehicle is equipped with the ParkView Rear
Back Up Camera that allows you to see an
on-screen image of the rear surroundings of
your vehicle whenever the gear selector is put
into REVERSE. The image will be displayed on
the touchscreen display along with a caution
note to “check entire surroundings” across the
top of the screen. After five seconds this note
will disappear. The ParkView camera is located
on the rear of the vehicle above the rear license
plate. The Rear Back Up Camera can also be activated
when the vehicle is not in REVERSE through the
Uconnect system Ú
page 87.
NOTE:
If one of the rear cargo doors is not completely
closed, the Back Up Camera cannot provide an
accurate image of the area behind the vehicle.
A dedicated message will appear on the
Uconnect display indicating the camera is not in
the correct position.
The Camera Delay setting can be set to on/off
in the rear camera settings menu. When the
vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE and the
Camera Delay is turned off, the rear camera
mode is exited and the navigation or audio
screen appears on display again.
When the transmission is shifted out of
REVERSE, and Camera Delay is activated in the
menu screen, the camera image will continue to
be displayed for up to 10 seconds, unless the
speed of the vehicle is greater than 8 mph
(13 km/h), the transmission is in PARK, or the
ignition is placed in the OFF position.
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 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 indica -
tion that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
CAUTION!
ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle,
including 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.
WARNING! (Continued)
The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using ParkSense in order to be able to stop
in time when an obstacle is detected. It is
recommended that the driver looks over
his/her shoulder when using ParkSense.
CAUTION! (Continued)
