Parksense Front And Rear Park Assist - If Equipped; Parksense Sensors; Parksense Warning Display; Parksense Display - Jeep Compass 2018 Owner's Manual

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.
• 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.
Refer to ParkSense System Usage Precautions
for limitations of this system and recommenda-
tions.
ParkSense will retain the last system state (en-
abled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle
when the ignition is changed to the ON/RUN
position.

ParkSense can be active when the gear selector
is in PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, or DRIVE. If
ParkSense is enabled at one of these gear
selector positions, the system will remain active
until the vehicle speed is increased to approxi-
mately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. While in
REVERSE and above the system's operating
speed, a warning will appear in the instrument
cluster display indicating the vehicle speed is
too fast. The system will become active again if
the vehicle speed is decreased to speeds less
than approximately 6 mph (9 km/h).

ParkSense Sensors

The six ParkSense sensors, located in the rear
fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind the ve-
hicle that is within the sensors' field of view. The
sensors can detect obstacles from approxi-
mately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 79 inches
(200 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper in the
horizontal direction, depending on the location,
type and orientation of the obstacle.
NOTE:
For further information on Active Park Assist,
refer to the "ParkSense Active Park Assist Sys-
tem" section.
The six ParkSense sensors, located in the front
fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front of the
vehicle that is within the sensors' field of view.
The sensors can detect obstacles from approxi-
mately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches
(120 cm) from the front fascia/bumper in the
horizontal direction, depending on the location,
type and orientation of the obstacle.

ParkSense Warning Display

The ParkSense Warning screen will only be
displayed if "Sound and Display" is selected
from the Customer - Programmable Features
section of the Uconnect System. Refer to
"Uconnect Settings" in "Multimedia" for further
information.
The ParkSense Warning screen is located
within the instrument cluster display. It provides
visual warnings to indicate the distance between
the rear fascia/bumper and/or front fascia/
bumper and the detected obstacle. Refer to
"Instrument Cluster Display" in "Getting To Know
Your Instrument Panel" for further information.

ParkSense Display

Rear Park Assist
When the vehicle is in REVERSE, the instru-
ment cluster display will show the park assist
ready system status.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by
showing a single arc in one or more regions
based on the obstacle's distance and location
relative to the vehicle.
If an obstacle is detected in the center rear
region, the display will show a single solid arc in
the center rear region. As the vehicle moves
closer to the obstacle, the display will show the
