Parksense Front And Rear Park Assist - If Equipped; Parksense Sensors - Jeep Compass User Manual

CAUTION!
• ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, in-
cluding 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 de-
tected. 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

ing forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver.

Refer to "ParkSense System Usage Precau-
tions" in "Starting And Operating" in your
Owner's Manual for limitations of this system
and recommendations.
ParkSense will retain the last system state
(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition
cycle when the ignition is changed to the
ON/RUN position.
ParkSense is active in all gear selector posi-
tions (including PARK), as long as the system
is on. The system will remain active until the
vehicle speed is increased to approximately
7 mph (11 km/h) or above. While in RE-
VERSE and above the system's operating
speed, a warning will appear in the instru-
ment 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 vehicle that is within the sensors' field of
view. The sensors can detect obstacles from
approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to
79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction, depend-
ing on the location, type and orientation of
the obstacle.
NOTE:
For further information on Active Park Assist,
refer to the "ParkSense Active Park Assist
System" 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 approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to
47 inches (120 cm) from the front fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction, depend-
ing on the location, type and orientation of
the obstacle.
