64) Incorrect repairs made on the front
part of the car (e.g. bumper, chassis) may
alter the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to a
Jeep Dealership for any operation of this
type.
65) Do not tamper with or carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen glass. In the
event of a sensor failure, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
66) Do not wash with high-pressure jets
in the bumper lower area: in particular
do not operate on the system's electrical
connector. Do not use solvents or abrasive
paste.
67) Be careful in case of repairs and
painting in the zone around the sensor. In
the event of a frontal impact the sensor
may automatically deactivate and display
a warning to indicate that the sensor
needs to be repaired. Even without a
malfunction warning, deactivate the
system operation if you think that the
position of the radar sensor has changed
(e.g. due to low-speed frontal impact as
during parking manoeuvres). In these
cases, go to a Jeep Dealership to have the
radar sensor realigned or replaced.
