Side Distance Warning System - Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE L 2021 Owner's Manual

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 recom-
mended that the driver looks over his/her
shoulder when using ParkSense.
