Parksense Rear Park Assist - If Equipped - Jeep Grand Cherokee Operating Information Manual

PARKSENSE REAR PARK
ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Rear Park Assist system pro-
vides visual and audible indications of the dis-
tance between the rear fascia and a detected
obstacle when backing up, e.g. during a parking
maneuver. If your vehicle is equipped with an
Automatic Transmission, the vehicle brakes
may be automatically applied and released
when performing a reverse 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
ParkSense switch, or changing the gear
while the automatic brakes are being ap-
plied.
• 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
122
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 de-
tected 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 Customer-
Programmable Features section of the
Uconnect System.
• ParkSense will retain its last known con-
off via figuration 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.
NOTE:
• The driver is always responsible for con-
trolling the vehicle.
• The system is provided to assist the
driver and not to substitute the driver.
• The driver must stay in full control of the
vehicle's acceleration and braking and is
responsible for the vehicle's movements.
Refer to ParkSense System Usage Precautions
for limitations of this system and recommenda-
tions.
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 can be active only when the gear
selector is in REVERSE. If ParkSense is en-
abled at this gear selector position, the system
will remain active until the vehicle speed is
increased to approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or
above. When in REVERSE and above the
system's operating speed, a warning will ap-
pear within the Driver Information Display (DID)
