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.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 297
Refrigerant Recovery And Recycling —
R–1234yf
R–1234yf Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a
hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) that is endorsed by the
Environmental Protection Agency and is an
ozone-friendly substance with a low
global-warming potential. The manufacturer
recommends that air conditioning service be
performed by an authorized dealer using recovery
and recycling equipment.
NOTE:
Use only the manufacturer approved A/C system
PAG c om
pressor oil, and refrigerants.
Cabin Air Cleaner
See an authorized dealer for service.
BODY LUBRICATION
Locks and all body pivot points, including such
items as seat tracks, door hinge pivot points and
rollers, liftgate, tailgate, decklid, sliding doors and
hood hinges, should be lubricated periodically with
a lithium-based grease, such as Mopar® Spray
White Lube to ensure quiet, easy operation and to
protect against rust and wear. Prior to the
application of any lubricant, the parts concerned
should be wiped clean to remove dust and grit;
after lubricating, excess oil and grease should be
removed. Particular attention should also be given to hood latching components to ensure proper
function. When performing other underhood
services, the hood latch, release mechanism and
safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated
twice


a year, preferably in the Autumn and Spring.
Apply a small amount of a high quality lubricant,
such as Mopar® Lock Cylinder Lubricant directly
into the lock cylinder.
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the
windshield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth
and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove
accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods
may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using the
wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice
from th
e windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of
contact with petroleum products such as engine
oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies depending
on geog r
aphical area and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present with chat -tering, marks, water lines or wet spots. If any of
these


conditions are present, clean the wiper
blades or replace as necessary.
Service Position Strategy
The service position allows the wiper blades to be
placed in a position that allows the wiper blades to
be easily changed.
To enable the Service Position Strategy, the wipers
must b

e in the Park position before placing the
ignition in the STOP/OFF position.
Service mode must be activated within two
minut e

s after the ignition is placed in the STOP/
OFF position.
To have a correct activation of strategy, the Service
Positi on

command (antipanic) must be active for at
least half a second.
At every valid activation of Service Position
comman d

, the wiper blades are activated for
250 ms.
The Service Position command can be repeated
sever a

l times to bring the blades into the desired
position, up to a maximum of three times.
After three subsequent activations the strategy is
disab l

ed.
