instrument cluster JEEP RENEGADE 2015 1.G Owner's Manual

ParkSense® Sensors
The four 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 in (30 cm) up to 59 in (150 cm) from the rear
fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
Chime
By shifting the vehicle in REVERSE and in the case of the presence of a rear obstacle,
an acoustic signal that varies with the distance of the obstacle from the bumper is
activated.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
• Increases with the distance between car and object decreases.
• Becomes continuous when the distance that separates the car from the obstacle
is less than approximately 12 inches (30 cm), while terminates immediately if the
distance to the obstacle increases.
• Remains constant if the distance between car and obstacle remains unchanged.
If this situation occurs for the side sensors, the signal is stopped after approxi-
mately three seconds to avoid, for example, it activates in case of maneuver along
a wall.
When the system emits a beeping sound, the volume of the Uconnect®system, if
turned on, is automatically lowered by ParkSense.
Detection Distances
If the sensors detect more obstacles, it is taken into account only what is the shorter
distance.
Instrument Cluster Display
ParkSense is displayed on the instrument cluster only if you have selected the item
"beep and display" inside the "Settings" menu of the Uconnect®system.
If an obstacle is detected in the center rear region, the display will show a single solid
arc in the center rear region and will produce a one-half second tone. As the vehicle
moves closer to the obstacle, the display will show the single arc moving closer to the
vehicle and the sound tone will change from slow, to fast, to continuous.
If an obstacle is detected in the left and/or right rear region, the display will show a
single flashing arc in the left and/or right rear region and will produce a fast sound
tone. As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the display will show the single arc
moving closer to the vehicle and the tone will change from fast to continuous.
In general, the car is closest to the obstacle when the display shows only a flashing
arc and the chime becomes continuous.
The color on the display depends on the distance and location of the obstacle.

Enabling And Disabling ParkSense®
ParkSense®can be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense®switch.
When the ParkSense®switch is pressed to disable the system, the instrument cluster
will display the “PARKSENSE OFF” message for approximately five seconds. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” or “Driver Information Display (DID)”
in “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in your owner’s manual on the DVD for
further information. When the shift lever is moved to REVERSE and the system is
disabled, the EVIC/DID will display the “PARKSENSE OFF” message for as long as
the vehicle is in REVERSE.
The ParkSense®switch LED will be ON when ParkSense®is disabled or requires
service. The ParkSense®switch LED will be OFF when the system is enabled. If the
ParkSense®switch is pushed, and requires service, the ParkSense®switch LED will
blink momentarily, and then the LED will be ON.
ParkSense will remember the previous state when the vehicle is switch off.
CAUTION!
After turning off the ignition, the ParkSense®remains in this setting until the next
key cycle, even in the case of changing the setting of starting MAR/RUN to
STOP/OFF and then again in MAR/RUN.
Service The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense®Rear Park Assist System has detected
a faulted condition, the instrument cluster will actuate a single chime, once per
ignition cycle, and it will display the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR
SENSORS” or the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” message.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display
(DID)” in your owner’s manual on the DVD for further information. When the shift
lever is moved to REVERSE and the system has detected a faulted condition, the
EVIC/DID will display the "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS" or
"PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED" message for as long as the
vehicle is in REVERSE. Under this condition, ParkSense®will not operate.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS” appears in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID) make sure the
outer surface and the underside of the rear fascia/bumper is clean and clear of snow,
ice, mud, dirt or other obstructions and then cycle the ignition. If the message
continues to appear, see an authorized dealer.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” appears in the EVIC/DID, see
an authorized dealer.

Park Assist System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
• Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of the rear bumper is clean and
clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction to keep the Rear Park Assist
system operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of
Rear Park Assist.
• Clean the Rear Park Assist sensors regularly, taking care not to scratch or damage
them. The sensors must not be covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris.
Failure to do so can result in the system not working properly. The Rear Park Assist
system might not detect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it could provide
a false indication that an obstacle is behind the fascia/bumper.
• Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not be placed within 12 inches (30
cm) from the rear fascia/bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close object as a sensor problem, causing a
failure indication to be displayed in the instrument cluster.
CAUTION!
• Rear Park Assist 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 Rear Park Assist 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 Rear Park Assist.
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 attention
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 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.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
156

- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of an onboard diagnostic system called
OBD II that monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. The light
will illuminate when the key is in the MAR/RUN position before engine start. If the
bulb does not come on when turning the key from STOP/OFF to MAR/RUN, have the
condition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the light after engine start.
The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical driving
cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on could causedamage to the engine control system. It also could affect fuel economy anddriveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and powerloss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as referenced above, can reach higher tempera-
tures than in normal operating conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive slowly or
park over flammable substances such as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could
result in death or serious injury to the driver, occupants or others.
– SERV (Service) 4WD Indicator Light
If the light stays on or comes on during driving, it means that the 4WD system is not
functioning properly and that service is required. We recommend you drive to the
nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
