170STARTING AND OPERATING  
When the system instructs the driver to remove 
their hands from the steering wheel, the driver 
should check their surroundings and begin to 
back up slowly.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will 
allow a maximum of eight shifts between DRIVE 
and REVERSE. If the maneuver cannot be 
completed within eight shifts, the system will 
cancel and the instrument cluster display will 
instruct the driver to complete the maneuver 
manually.
The system will cancel the maneuver if the 
vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (7 km/h) during 
active steering guidance into the parking space. 
The system will provide a warning to the driver 
at 3 mph (5 km/h) that tells them to slow down. 
The driver is then responsible for completing the 
maneuver if the system is canceled.
If the system is canceled during the maneuver 
for any reason, the driver must take control of 
the vehicle.EXITING THE PARKING SPACE
NOTE:The function does not work for exiting a perpen -
dicular parking space, but only exiting parallel 
parking spaces.
Activation
To activate this function, push the Active 
ParkSense switch once. After selection, the system 
activates and warns the driver on the instrument 
cluster display about the operations that have to 
be carried out to perform the maneuver correctly.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when performing 
parallel or perpendicular parking maneuvers 
even when using the ParkSense Active Park 
Assist system. Always check carefully behind 
and in front of your vehicle, look behind and in 
front of you, and be sure to check for pedes -
trians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, 
and blind spots before backing up and moving 
forward. You are responsible for safety and 
must continue to pay attention to your 
surroundings. Failure to do so can result in 
serious injury or death.
Before using the ParkSense Active Park Assist 
system, it is strongly recommended that the 
ball mount and hitch ball assembly be discon -
nected 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 
vehicle sounds the continuous 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.
CAUTION!
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system 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 
the ParkSense Active Park Assist system 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 the ParkSense Active Park Assist 
system.

STARTING AND OPERATING171
Selection Of The Maneuver Side
Use the direction indicators to choose the direction 
that you want to perform the maneuver. Use the 
right arrow indicator to perform the maneuver to 
the right side and use the left arrow indicator to 
perform the maneuver to the left.
During the maneuver, the system instructs the 
driver to shift to REVERSE, and operate the turn 
signal in the direction you want to exit. Let go of the 
steering wheel and use the brake or accelerator 
pedals as instructed, while the system handles the 
steering automatically for exiting the parking 
space. If the driver continues to carry out a 
voluntary or involuntary action on the steering 
wheel during the exit maneuver (touching or 
holding the steering wheel to prevent its 
movement), the maneuver will be interrupted.
Shift To Reverse Then Move Backward Shift To Drive Then Move Forward
End Of Maneuver
The semi-automatic maneuver ends when the 
display shows the message of a completed 
maneuver. At the end of the maneuver, the system 
gives back the vehicle control to the driver.
ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED 
ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT OPERATION
The Active Lane Management (ALM) system uses a 
forward facing camera to detect lane markings or 
road edges and to measure vehicle position within 
the lane boundaries. It also uses the Blind Spot 
Monitoring (BSM) sensors to detect vehicles in 
adjacent lanes while the driver is preparing to 
change lanes. The system is operational at speeds above 37 mph 
(60 km/h) and below 112 mph (180 km/h).
When both lane markings are detected, and the 
vehicle approaches (or crosses) the lane marking 
with no turn signal applied, and the blind spot zone 
is not occupied, the ALM system provides warnings 
to prompt the driver to remain within the lane 
boundaries. These warnings include a visual 
warning in the instrument cluster along with 
steering assist torque (if configured in Uconnect 
Settings).
If the driver crosses the lane marking, the system 
will either guide the vehicle back to the center of 
the lane, provide a vibration in the steering wheel, 
or both, depending on radio settings.
When both lane markings are detected, and the 
driver uses the turn signal to indicate a lane 
change, and a vehicle is detected in the BSM zone 
on that side of the vehicle, the ALM system 
provides a warning in the form of steering assist 
and/or steering vibration (depending on radio 
settings) to guide the vehicle back to the center of 
the lane.NOTE:
The system will suppress visual warnings, 
steering vibration (if selected in radio settings), 
and steering assistance (if selected in radio 
settings) when the driver activates the turn 
signal, the blind spot zone is clear of vehicles, 
and a lane change is occurring.

180STARTING AND OPERATING  
SERVICE THE NIGHT VISION SYSTEM
When service conditions are present, the following 
fault messages may appear in the instrument 
cluster display when the vehicle is placed in the ON 
position.
If "Night Vision Unavailable Sensor Blocked" 
appears in the instrument cluster display, make 
sure the camera is clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or 
other debris. The camera is located in the upper 
fascia/bumper, inside the driver side grille slot. 
Clean the camera using a soft wet cloth or by 
pressing the Clean Camera button in the Uconnect 
system. If the message continues to appear after 
cycling the ignition, see an authorized dealer.
If “Night Vision Temporarily Unavailable” or “Night 
Vision Unavailable Service Required" appears in 
the instrument cluster display after cycling the 
ignition, see an authorized dealer.
The camera must be properly aligned to work 
correctly. If the camera needs adjustment, see an 
authorized dealer. Do not attempt to adjust the 
camera yourself.
NOTE:Alignment and performance of the Night Vision 
may be affected by aftermarket modifications. 
Mopar® parts should be used to get the optimal 
performance of this system.
NIGHT VISION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

SAFETY251
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
EBD manages the distribution of the braking 
torque between the front and rear axles by limiting 
braking pressure to the rear axle. This is done to 
prevent overslip of the rear wheels to avoid vehicle 
instability, and to prevent the rear axle from 
entering ABS before the front axle.
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)
ERM anticipates the potential for wheel lift by 
monitoring the driver’s steering wheel input and 
the speed of the vehicle. When ERM determines 
that the rate of change of the steering wheel angle 
and vehicle’s speed are sufficient to potentially 
cause wheel lift, it then applies the appropriate 
brake and may also reduce engine power to lessen 
the chance that wheel lift will occur. ERM can only 
reduce the chance of wheel lift occurring during 
severe or evasive driving maneuvers; it cannot 
prevent wheel lift due to other factors, such as 
road conditions, leaving the roadway, or striking 
objects or other vehicles.
NOTE:ERM is disabled any time the ESC is in “Full Off” 
mode (if equipped). See  Ú page 251 for a 
complete explanation of the available ESC modes.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) 
ESC enhances directional control and stability of 
the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC 
corrects for oversteering or understeering of the 
vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate 
wheel(s) to assist in counteracting the following 
conditions. Engine power may also be reduced to 
help the vehicle maintain the desired path.
Oversteer — when the vehicle is turning more 
than appropriate for the steering wheel position.
Understeer — when the vehicle is turning less 
than appropriate for the steering wheel position.
ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the 
vehicle path intended by the driver and compares 
it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual 
path does not match the intended path, ESC 
applies the brake of the appropriate wheel to 
assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer 
condition.
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light 
located in the instrument cluster will start to flash 
as soon as the ESC system becomes active. The 
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light also 
flashes when the Traction Control System (TCS) is 
active. If the ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator 
Light begins to flash during acceleration, ease up 
on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as 
possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving 
to the prevailing road conditions.
WARNING!
Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road 
conditions and driving conditions, influence the 
chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur. ERM 
cannot prevent all wheel lift or rollovers, 
especially those that involve leaving the roadway 
or striking objects or other vehicles. The 
capabilities of an ERM-equipped vehicle must 
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous 
manner which could jeopardize the user's safety 
or the safety of others.

Feedback To The Driver:
The instrument cluster has an SSC icon and the 
SSC switch has an LED which offer feedback to the 
driver about the state SSC is in.
The cluster icon and switch light will illuminate 
and remain on solid when SSC is enabled or 
activated. This is the normal operating condition 
for SSC.
The cluster icon and switch light will flash for 
several seconds then extinguish when the driver 
pushes the SSC switch but enable conditions 
are not met.
The cluster icon and switch light will flash for 
several seconds then extinguish when SSC 
disables due to excess speed.
The cluster icon and switch light will flash then 
extinguish when SSC deactivates due to over -
heated brakes.
Traction Control System (TCS) 
The TCS monitors the amount of wheel spin of 
each of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is 
detected, the TCS may apply brake pressure to the 
spinning wheel(s) and/or reduce engine power to 
provide enhanced acceleration and stability. A 
feature of the TCS, Brake Limited Differential (BLD) 
functions similarly to a limited slip differential and 
controls the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one 
wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the 
other, the system will apply the brake of the 
spinning wheel. This will allow more engine power 
to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. BLD 
may remain enabled even if TCS and Electronic 
Stability Control (ESC) are in reduced modes.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) 
TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize an 
excessively swaying trailer and will take the 
appropriate actions to attempt to stop the sway. 
TSC will become active automatically once an 
excessively swaying trailer is recognized.
NOTE:TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying. Always 
use caution when towing a trailer and follow the 
trailer tongue weight recommendations  
Ú page 185.
When TSC is functioning, the ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light will flash, the engine 
power may be reduced and you may feel the 
brakes being applied to individual wheels to 
attempt to stop the trailer from swaying. TSC is 
disabled when the ESC system is in the “Partial 
Off” mode.
WARNING!
SSC is only intended to assist the driver in 
controlling vehicle speed when driving in off 
road conditions. The driver must remain 
attentive to the driving conditions and is 
responsible for maintaining a safe vehicle 
speed.
WARNING!
If TSC activates while driving, slow the vehicle 
down, stop at the nearest safe location, and 
adjust the trailer load to eliminate trailer sway.6

258SAFETY  
AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM)
BSM system uses two radar sensors, located 
inside the rear fascia/bumper, to detect highway 
licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, 
motorcycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot zones 
from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
Rear Detection Zones
When the vehicle is started, the BSM Warning Light 
will momentarily illuminate in both outside 
rearview mirrors to let the driver know that the 
system is operational. The BSM system sensors 
operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear. The BSM detection zone covers approximately one 
lane in width on both sides of the vehicle 12 ft 
(3.8 m). The zone length starts at the side of the 
vehicle, near the B-pillar, and extends 
approximately 10 ft (3 m) beyond the rear fascia/
bumper of the vehicle. The BSM system monitors 
the detection zones on both sides of the vehicle 
when the vehicle speed reaches approximately 
6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alert the driver 
of vehicles in these areas. BSM will alert earlier on 
faster-approaching vehicles — up to 33 mph 
(54 km/h) difference.
NOTE:The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT change 
if your vehicle is towing a trailer. Therefore, visually 
verify the adjacent lane is clear for both your 
vehicle and trailer before making a lane change. If 
the trailer or other object (i.e., bicycle, sports 
equipment) extends beyond the side of your 
vehicle, this may result in random false detections 
on the trailer, and false chimes when the turn 
signal is used  Ú
page 204. The BSM system can become blocked if snow, ice, 
mud, or other road contaminations accumulate on 
the rear fascia/bumper where the radar sensors 
are located. The system may also detect blockage 
if the vehicle is operated in areas with extremely 
low radar returns such as a desert or parallel to a 
large elevation drop. If blockage is detected, a 
“Blind Spot Temporarily Unavailable, Sensor 
Blocked” message will display in the cluster, both 
mirror lights will illuminate, and BSM and RCP 
alerts will not occur. This is normal operation. The 
system will automatically recover and resume 
function when the condition clears or when an 
ignition cycle occurs. To minimize system 
blockage, do not block the area of the rear fascia/ 
bumper where the radar sensors are located with 
foreign objects (bumper stickers, bicycle racks, 
etc.) and keep it clear of road contaminations.
Sensor Location (Left Side Shown)
23_WL_OM_EN_USC_t.book  Page 258   
Page 262 of 424
260SAFETY  
The BSM system is designed not to issue an alert on 
stationary objects such as guardrails, posts, walls, 
foliage, berms, etc. However, occasionally the 
system may alert on such objects. This is normal 
operation and your vehicle does not require service.
The BSM system will not alert you of objects that 
are traveling in the opposite direction of the vehicle 
in adjacent lanes Ú page 408.
Opposing Traffic
Rear Cross Path (RCP)  
RCP is intended to aid the driver when backing out 
of parking spaces where their vision of oncoming 
vehicles may be blocked. Proceed slowly and 
cautiously out of the parking space until the rear 
end of the vehicle is exposed. The RCP system will 
then have a clear view of the cross traffic and if an 
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the driver.
 RCP Detection Zones
RCP monitors the rear detection zones on both 
sides of the vehicle, for objects that are moving 
toward the side of the vehicle with a minimum 
speed of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h), to objects 
moving a maximum of approximately 20 mph 
(32 km/h), such as in parking lot situations.
NOTE:In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles can be 
obscured by vehicles parked on either side. If the 
sensors are blocked by other structures or 
vehicles, the system will not be able to alert the 
driver.
When RCP is on (Blind Spot Lights Only or Blind 
Spot Lights/Chimes) and the vehicle is in 
REVERSE, the driver is alerted using both the 
visual and audible alarms, including reducing the 
radio volume.
Blind Spot Modes
Three selectable modes of operation are available 
in the Uconnect system  Ú page 204.
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an aid to 
help detect objects in the blind spot zones. The 
BSM system is not designed to detect pedestrians, 
bicyclists, or animals. Even if your vehicle is 
equipped with the BSM system, always check your 
vehicle’s mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and 
use your turn signal before changing lanes. Failure 
to do so can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING!
Rear Cross Path (RCP) Detection is not a back up 
aid system. It is intended to be used to help a 
driver detect a vehicle in a parking lot situation. 
Drivers must be careful when backing up, even 
when using RCP. 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. 
Failure to do so can result in serious injury or 
death.

SAFETY261
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the BSM 
system will provide a visual alert in the appropriate 
side view mirror based on a detected object. 
However, when the system is operating in Rear 
Cross Path (RCP) mode, the system will respond 
with both visual and audible alerts when a 
detected object is present. Whenever an audible 
alert is requested, the radio is muted.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime 
mode, the BSM system will provide a visual alert in 
the appropriate side view mirror based on a 
detected object. If the turn signal is then activated, 
and it corresponds to an alert present on that side 
of the vehicle, an audible chime will also be 
sounded. Whenever a turn signal and detected 
object are present on the same side at the same 
time, both the visual and audible alerts will be 
issued. In addition to the audible alert the radio (if 
on) will also be muted.
NOTE:Whenever an audible alert is requested by the 
BSM system, the radio is also muted. When the system is in RCP, the system shall 
respond with both visual and audible alerts when a 
detected object is present. Whenever an audible 
alert is requested, the radio is also muted. Turn/
hazard signal status is ignored; the RCP state 
always requests the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off, there will be 
no visual or audible alerts from either the BSM or 
RCP systems.
NOTE:The BSM system will store the current operating 
mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each time the 
vehicle is started, the previously stored mode will 
be recalled and used.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) 
W
ITH MITIGATION
The FCW with Mitigation system provides the driver 
with audible warnings, visual warnings (within the 
instrument cluster display), and may apply a 
limited braking to warn the driver when it detects a 
potential frontal collision. The warnings and limited 
braking are intended to provide the driver with 
enough time to react, avoid or mitigate the 
potential collision.
NOTE:If either FCW or Pedestrian Emergency Braking 
(PEB) is turned off, the FCW OFF Indicator Light will 
illuminate. The FCW OFF Indicator Light will only 
shut off if both features are turned on and active 
braking is enabled.
NOTE:FCW monitors the information from the forward 
looking sensors as well as the Electronic Brake 
Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a 
forward collision. When the system determines 
that a forward collision is probable, the driver will 
be provided with audible and visual warnings and 
may provide a brake jerk warning. If the driver does 
not take action based upon these progressive 
warnings, then the system will provide a limited 
level of active braking to help slow the vehicle and 
mitigate the potential forward collision. If the driver 
reacts to the warnings by braking and the system 
determines that the driver intends to avoid the 
collision by braking but has not applied sufficient 
brake force, the system will compensate and 
provide additional brake force as required.
6
23_WL_OM_EN_USC_t.book  Page 261   
Page 266 of 424
264SAFETY  
Turning PEB On Or Off
NOTE:The default status of PEB is “On.” This allows the 
system to warn you of a possible frontal collision 
with the pedestrian.
The PEB button is located in the Uconnect display 
in the Control settings  Ú page 204.
To turn the PEB system off, push the Pedestrian 
Emergency Braking button.
To turn the PEB system back on, push the Warning 
Active Braking button.
Changing the PEB status to “Off” deactivates the 
system, so no warning or active braking will be 
available in case of a possible frontal collision with 
the pedestrian/cyclist.
NOTE:The PEB system will retain the last setting selected 
by the driver after ignition shut down. The system 
will not reset to the default setting when the 
vehicle is restarted.
Intersection Collision Assist (ICA) —
If Equipped
ICA uses three front radar sensors located in the 
front fascia/bumper, to detect oncoming vehicles 
from the front or side when driving through an 
intersection. When the system determines that a 
collision is probable when turning across 
oncoming traffic, the system will attempt to 
mitigate a possible collision by decelerating the 
vehicle. When the system determines that a 
collision with a crossing vehicle is probable, the 
system may apply additional braking to 
supplement the driver braking input to attempt to 
mitigate a possible collision. The system will also 
provide audible warnings and visual warnings 
(shown in the instrument cluster). If the driver 
determines acceleration is needed to avoid a 
collision, when the accelerator is pressed ICA will 
cancel.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM 
(TPMS)
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure 
based on the vehicle recommended cold tire 
pressure Ú page 408.
 The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 
1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that 
when the outside temperature decreases, the tire 
pressure will decrease. Tire pressure should always 
be set based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is 
defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle has not 
been driven for at least three hours, or driven less 
than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a three-hour period. The 
tire pressure will also increase as the vehicle is 
driven — this is normal and there should be no 
adjustment for this increased pressure.
For information on how to properly inflate the 
vehicle’s tires, see  Ú
page 374.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure 
if the tire pressure falls below the low pressure 
warning threshold for any reason, including low 
temperature effects, or natural pressure loss 
through the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low 
tire pressure as long as the condition exists, and 
will not turn off until the tire pressure is at or above 
recommended cold tire pressure. Once the low tire 
pressure warning has been illuminated, the tire 
pressure must be increased to the recommended 
cold tire pressure in order for the TPMS Warning 
Light to be turned off.
WARNING!
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) is not 
intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor can 
PEB detect every type of potential collision with 
a pedestrian. The driver has the responsibility to 
avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via 
braking and steering. Failure to follow this 
warning could lead to serious injury or death.
23_WL_OM_EN_USC_t.book  Page 264   
Page 267 of 424
SAFETY265
NOTE:When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may need 
to be increased up to an additional 4 psi (28 kPa) 
above the recommended cold placard pressure in 
order to turn the TPMS Warning Light off.
The system will automatically update and the 
TPMS Warning Light will extinguish once the 
updated tire pressures have been received. The 
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes 
above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this 
information.
For example, your vehicle has a recommended 
cold (parked for more than three hours) tire 
pressure of 36 psi (248 kPa). If the ambient 
temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the measured tire 
pressure is 28 psi (193 kPa), a temperature drop 
to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tire pressure to 
approximately 24 psi (165 kPa). This tire pressure 
is sufficiently low enough to turn on the TPMS 
Warning Light. Driving the vehicle may cause the 
tire pressure to rise to approximately 28 psi
(193 kPa), but the TPMS Warning Light will still be 
on. In this situation, the TPMS Warning Light will 
turn off only after the tires have been inflated to 
the vehicle’s recommended cold tire pressure 
value.NOTE:
The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire 
care and maintenance, or to provide warning of 
a tire failure or condition.
The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure 
gauge while adjusting your tire pressure, unless 
equipped with Tire Fill Alert.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire 
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire 
failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel effi -
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the 
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire 
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility 
to maintain correct tire pressure using an accu -
rate tire gauge, even if underinflation has not 
reached the level to trigger illumination of the 
TPMS Warning Light.
Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire 
pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual 
tire pressure in the tire.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original 
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures 
and warnings have been established for the tire 
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable 
system operation or sensor damage may result 
when using replacement equipment that is not 
of the same size, type, and/or style. The TPMS 
sensor is not designed for use on aftermarket 
wheels and may contribute to a poor overall 
system performance or sensor damage. 
Customers are encouraged to use Original 
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) wheels to 
ensure proper TPMS feature operation.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause the 
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 
sensor to become inoperable. After using an 
aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended 
that you take your vehicle to an authorized 
dealership to have your sensor function 
checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, 
always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will 
prevent moisture and dirt from entering the 
valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pres -
sure Monitoring System sensor.
