Parksense Front And Rear Park Assist - If Equipped - Jeep Cherokee 2018 Owner's Manual

WARNING! (Continued)
• Before using ParkSense, it is strongly rec-
ommended 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 be-
cause 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 indi-
cation that an obstacle is behind the ve-
hicle.
CAUTION!
• ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, includ-
ing 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.
178
CAUTION! (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.
PARKSENSE FRONT AND
REAR PARK ASSIST — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides
visual and audible indications of the distance
between the rear and/or front fascia and a
detected obstacle when backing up or moving
forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver. If your
vehicle is equipped with an Automatic Transmis-
sion, the vehicle brakes may be automatically
applied and released when performing a re-
verse parking maneuver if the system detects a
possible collision with an obstacle.
NOTE:
• The driver can override the automatic braking
function by pressing the gas pedal, turning
ParkSense off via ParkSense switch, or
changing the gear while the automatic brakes
are being applied.
(Continued)
• Automatic brakes will not be available if ESC
is not available.
• Automatic brakes will not be available if there
is a faulted condition detected with the
ParkSense Park Assist system or the Braking
System Module.
• The automatic braking function may only be
applied if the vehicle deceleration is not
enough to avoid colliding with a detected
obstacle.
• The automatic braking function may not be
applied fast enough for obstacles that move
toward the rear of the vehicle from the left
and/or right sides.
• The automatic braking function can be
enabled/disabled from the
Programmable Features section of the
Uconnect System.
• ParkSense will retain its last known configu-
ration state for the automatic braking function
through ignition cycles.
The automatic braking function is intended to
assist the driver in avoiding possible collisions
with detected obstacles when backing up in
REVERSE gear.
If your vehicle is equipped with a Manual Trans-
mission, the automatic braking function in RE-
VERSE gear is not available.
NOTE:
• The driver is always responsible for control-
ling the vehicle.
