2023 JEEP RENEGADE steering wheel

112 STARTING AND OPERATING
vehicle into a parallel or a perpendicular parking
space on either side (i.e., driver side or passenger
side), as well as exiting a parallel parking space.
NOTE:
The driver is always responsible for controlling
the vehicle, responsible for any surrounding
objects, and must intervene as required.
The system is designed to assist the driver and
not to substitute the driver.
During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the driver
touches the steering wheel after being
instructed to remove their hands from the
steering wheel, the system will cancel, and the
driver will be required to manually complete the
parking maneuver.
The system may not work in all conditions (e.g.
environmental conditions such as heavy rain,
snow, etc., or if searching for a parking space
that has surfaces that will absorb the ultrasonic
sensor waves).
ENABLING AND DISABLING THE
P
ARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST
S
YSTEM
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system
can be enabled and disabled with the
ParkS e
nse Active Park Assist switch,
located on the switch panel below the
Uconnect display. To enable or disable the ParkSense Active Park
Assis
t

system, push the ParkSense Active Park
Assist switch once (LED turns on). Pushing the
switch a second time will disable the system (LED
turns off).

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will turn off
autom a

tically for any of the following conditions:

Parking maneuver is complete

Vehicle speed is greater than 18 mph (30 km/h)
when se
arching for a parking space

Vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (7 km/h)
during
active steering guidance into the parking
space
Steering wheel is touched during active steering
guidance into the parking space
ParkSense Front/Rear Park Assist switch is
pushed
Driver's door is opened
Rear liftgate is opened
Electronic Stability Control/Anti-Lock Brake
System intervention
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will allow
a maxi
mum number of shifts between DRIVE and
REVERSE. If the maneuver cannot be completed
within the maximum amount of shifts, the system
will cancel and the instrument cluster display will
instruct the driver to complete the maneuver
manually. The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will only
operat
e

and search for a parking space when the
following conditions are present:
Gear selector is in DRIVE.
Ignition is in the RUN position.
ParkSense Active Park Assist switch is acti -
vated.
Driver's door is closed.
Rear liftgate is closed.
Vehicle speed is less than 15 mph (25 km/h).
NOTE:
If the vehicle is driven above approximately
15 mph
(25 km/h), the instrument cluster display
will i
nstruct the driver to slow down. If the vehicle
is driven above approximately 18 mph (30 km/h),
the sy

stem will cancel. The driver must then reac -
tivate the system by pushing the ParkSense Active
Park A
ssist switch.
The outer surface and the underside of the front
and rear fascias/bumpers are clean and clear
of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction.
When pushed, the LED on the ParkSense Active
Park A

ssist switch will blink momentarily, and then
the LED will turn off if any of the above conditions
are not present.

STARTING AND OPERATING 113
PARALLEL/PERPENDICULAR PARKING
S
PACE ASSISTANCE OPERATION
When the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
enabled, the “Active ParkSense Searching - Press
or to Switch Maneuver” message will
appear in the instrument cluster display. You may
select
perpendicular, parallel, or parallel park exit.
The arrow buttons on the left side of the steering
wheel can be used to switch parking maneuvers.

Active ParkSense Searching

NOTE:
When searching for a parking space, use the
turn signal indicator to select which side of the
vehicle you want to perform the parking
maneuver. The ParkSense Active Park Assist
system will automatically search for a parking space on the passenger's side of the vehicle if
the turn signal is not activated.
The driver needs to make sure that the selected
parking space for the maneuver remains free
and clear of any obstructions (e.g. pedestrians,
bicycles, etc.).
The driver is responsible to ensure that the
selected parking space is suitable for the
maneuver and free/clear of anything that may
be overhanging or protruding into the parking
space (e.g., ladders, tailgates, etc. from
surrounding objects/vehicles).
When searching for a parking space, the driver
should drive as parallel or perpendicular
(depending on the type of maneuver) to other
vehicles as possible.
The system will only indicate the last detected
parking space (example: if passing multiple
available parking spaces, the system will only
indicate the last detected parking space for the
maneuver).
When an available parking space has been found,
and t h

e vehicle is not in position, you will be
instructed to move forward to position the vehicle
for a perpendicular or parallel parking sequence
(depending on the type of maneuver being
performed).
Space Found — Keep Moving Forward

Once the vehicle is in position, you will be
instr u

cted to stop the vehicle’s movement and
remove your hands from the steering wheel. When
the vehicle comes to a standstill (your hands still
removed from the steering wheel), you will be
instructed to place the gear selector into the
REVERSE position.
The system may then instruct the driver to wait for
steer i

ng to complete before then instructing to
check surroundings and move backward.

114 STARTING AND OPERATING
(Continued)

Move Backward Into Parallel Parking Space
Move Backward Into Perpendicular Parking Space

The system may instruct several more gear shifts
(DRIV E

and REVERSE), with hands off of the
steering wheel, before instructing the driver to
check surroundings and complete the parking
maneuver. When the vehicle is in the parking position, the
maneu
v

er is complete and the driver will be
instructed to check the vehicle's parking position,
then shift the vehicle into PARK. The message
"Active ParkSense Complete - Check Parking
Position" will be displayed momentarily.
NOTE:
It is the driver's responsibility to use the brake
and accelerator during the semi-automatic
parking maneuver.
It is the driver's responsibility to use the brake
and stop the vehicle. The driver should check
their surroundings and be prepared to stop the
vehicle either when instructed to, or when driver
intervention is required.
When the system instructs the driver to remove
their hands from the steering wheel, the driver
should check their surroundings and begin to
back up slowly.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will
allow a maximum of six shifts between DRIVE
and REVERSE. If the maneuver cannot be
completed within six shifts, the system will
cancel and the instrument cluster display will
instruct the driver to complete the maneuver
manually.
The system will cancel the maneuver if the
vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (7 km/h) during
activ e
steering guidance into the parking space.
The system will provide a warning to the driver
at 3 mph (5 km/h) that tells them to slow down.
The d r

iver is then responsible for completing the
maneuver if the system is canceled.
If the system is canceled during the maneuver
for any reason, the driver must take control of
the vehicle.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when performing
parallel or perpendicular parking maneuvers
even when using the ParkSense Active Park
Assist system. Always check carefully behind
and in front of your vehicle, look behind and in
front of you, and be sure to check for pedes -
trians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions,
a nd b l

ind spots before backing up and moving
forward. 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.

STARTING AND OPERATING 115
(Continued)
EXITING THE PARKING SPACE
NOTE:
The function does not work for exiting a perpen -
dicular parking space, but only exiting parallel
p arki n

g spaces.
Activation
To activate this function, push the ParkSense
Activ e

Park Assist switch and then use the steering
wheel arrow buttons to select the Parallel Park Exit
feature. After the selection, the system activates
and instructs the driver through the instrument
cluster display about the operations that have to
be carried out to perform the maneuver correctly. Selection Of The Maneuver Side
Use the right and left arrow buttons on the steering
wheel


to select between parallel or perpendicular
parking mode. Then use the direction indicators
(turn signals) to choose the direction that you want
to perform the maneuver.
During the maneuver, the system asks the driver to
shift

to REVERSE, and operate the turn signal in
the direction you want to exit. Let go of the steering
wheel and use the brake or accelerator pedals as
instructed, while the system handles the steering
automatically for exiting the parking space. If the
driver continues to carry out a voluntary or
involuntary action on the steering wheel during the
exit maneuver (touching or holding the steering
wheel to prevent its movement), the maneuver will
be interrupted.

Check Surroundings — Move Backward

Before using the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, it is strongly recommended that the
ball mount and hitch ball assembly be discon -
nected from the vehicle when the vehicle is
not us e

d 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
vehicle 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!
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system 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!
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using
the ParkSense Active Park Assist system 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 the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system.
CAUTION!

LANESENSE — IF EQUIPPED
LANESENSE OPERATION
The LaneSense system is operational at speeds
above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph
(180 km
/h). The LaneSense system uses a
f or
wa
rd
looking camera to detect lane markings
and measure vehicle position within the lane
boundaries.

When both lane markings are detected and the
driver
unintentionally drifts out of the lane (no turn
signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a
haptic warning in the form of torque applied to the
steering wheel to prompt the driver to remain within
the lane boundaries. If the driver continues to
unintentionally drift out of the lane, the LaneSense
system provides a visual warning through the
instrument cluster display to prompt the driver to
remain within the lane boundaries.

The driver may manually override the haptic warning
by app l

ying torque to the steering wheel at any time.

When only a single lane marking is detected and
the dr
iver unintentionally drifts across the lane
marking (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense
system provides a visual warning through the
instrument cluster display to prompt the driver to
remain within the lane. When only a single lane
marking is detected, a haptic (torque) warning will
not be provided.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met, the
LaneSe n
se system will monitor if the driver’s
hands are on the steering wheel and provides an
audible warning to the driver when the driver’s
hands are not detected on the steering wheel. The
system will cancel if the driver does not return their
hands to the wheel.
TURNING LANESENSE ON OR OFF
The LaneSense button is located on the
center stack.
To turn the LaneSense system on, push the
La neSen

se button (LED turns off). A “Lane Sense
On” message is shown in the instrument cluster
display.
To turn the LaneSense system off, push the
LaneSen
se button once (LED turns on).
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.
