Parksense Front And Rear Park Assist - If Equipped - Jeep CHEROKEE User Manual

WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up

even when using ParkSense. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, look
behind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible for
safety and must continue to pay atten-
tion to your surroundings. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or death.
Before using ParkSense, it is strongly

recommended 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
because the hitch ball will be much
closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia
when the loudspeaker sounds the contin-
uous tone. Also, the sensors could detect
the ball mount and hitch ball assembly,
depending on its size and shape, giving
a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the vehicle.
166
CAUTION!
ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is

unable to recognize every obstacle,
including 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). The vehicle brakes may be auto-
matically applied and released
performing a reverse parking maneuver if the
system detects a possible collision with an
obstacle.
Refer to "ParkSense System Usage Precau-
tions" in "Starting And Operating" in the
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.
