PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
intended to assist the driver during Parallel,
Perpendicular, and Parallel Park Exit maneu-
vers by identifying a proper parking space,
providing audible/visual instructions, and
controlling the steering wheel. The Park -
Sense Active Park Assist system is defined
as “semi-automatic” since the driver main -
tains control of the accelerator, gear selector and brakes. Depending on the driver's
parking maneuver selection, the ParkSense
Active Park Assist system is capable of
maneuvering a vehicle into a parallel or a
perpendicular parking space on either side
(i.e., driver side or passenger side), as well as
exiting a parallel parking space.
NOTE:
The driver is always responsible for
controlling the vehicle, responsible for any
surrounding objects, and must intervene
as required.
The system is provided to assist the driver
and not to substitute the driver.
During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the
driver touches the steering wheel after
being instructed to remove their hands
from the steering wheel, the system will
cancel, and the driver will be required to
manually complete the parking maneuver.
The system may not work in all conditions
(e.g. environmental conditions such as
heavy rain, snow, etc., or if searching for a
parking space that has surfaces that will
absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
New vehicles from the dealer must have at
least 30 miles (48 km) accumulated
before the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system is fully calibrated and performs
accurately. This is due to the system’s
dynamic vehicle calibration to improve the
performance of the feature. The system
will also continuously perform the
dynamic vehicle calibration to account for
differences such as over or under inflated
tires and new tires.
Enabling And Disabling The ParkSense
Active Park Assist System
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system can
be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense
Active Park Assist switch, located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect display.
To enable the ParkSense Active Park
Assist system, push the ParkSense
Active Park Assist switch once (LED
turns on).
To disable the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, push the ParkSense Active Park
Assist switch again (LED turns off).
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.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 159

STARTING AND OPERATING
160
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will
turn off automatically for any of the following
conditions:
The parking maneuver is completed.
Vehicle speed greater than 18 mph
(30 km/h) when searching for a parking
space.

Vehicle speed greater than 5 mph (7 km/h)
during active steering guidance into the
parking space.

Touching the steering wheel during active
steering guidance into the parking space.
Pushing the ParkSense Front and Rear
Park Assist switch.
Driver's door is opened.
Rear liftgate is opened.
Electronic Stability Control/Anti-Lock
Braking System intervention.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system
will allow a maximum number of shifts
between DRIVE and REVERSE. If the
maneuver cannot be completed within the
maximum amount of shifts, the system
will cancel and the instrument cluster
display will instruct the driver to complete
the maneuver manually.The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will
only operate and search for a parking space
when the following conditions are present:
Gear position is in DRIVE.
Ignition is in the RUN position.
ParkSense Active Park Assist switch is
activated.
Driver's door is closed.
Rear liftgate is closed.
Vehicle speed is less than 15 mph
(25 km/h).
NOTE:
If the vehicle is driven above approximately
15 mph (25 km/h), the instrument cluster
display will instruct the driver to slow down.
If the vehicle is driven above approximately
18 mph (30 km/h), the system will cancel.
The driver must then reactivate the system
by pushing the ParkSense Active Park Assist
switch.
The outer surface and the underside of the
front and rear fascias/bumpers are clean
and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other
obstruction. When pushed, the LED on the ParkSense
Active Park Assist switch will blink momen
-
tarily, and then the LED will turn off if any of
the above conditions are not present.
Exiting The Parking Space
NOTE:
The function does not work for exiting a
perpendicular parking space, but only exiting
parallel parking spaces.
Activation
To activate this function, push the Active
ParkSense hard switch and then use the
steering wheel arrow buttons to select the
Parallel Park Exit feature. After the selection,
the system activates and warns the driver on
the instrument panel display about the oper -
ations that have to be carried out to perform
the maneuver correctly.
Selection Of The Maneuver Side
Use the right and left arrow buttons on the
steering wheel to select between parallel or
perpendicular parking mode. Then use the
direction indicators (turn signals) to choose
the direction that you want to perform the
maneuver.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 160

161
During the maneuver, the system asks to
shift to REVERSE, select the direction indi-
cator in the direction you want to exit. Let go
of the steering wheel and press the dedi -
cated pedals, 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.
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.
Important Information
If the sensors undergo impact which alters
their position, the system operation could
be greatly affected.
The sensors reach top performance after
the vehicle has gone about 30 miles
(50 km) due to the dynamic tire circum -
ference calculations used for parking.
Clean the ParkSense 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 ParkSense system might not
detect an obstacle behind or in front of the
fascia/bumper, or it could provide a false
indication that an obstacle is behind or in
front of the fascia/bumper.
Construction equipment, large trucks, and
other vibrations could affect the perfor -
mance of ParkSense.
Sensors may detect a nonexistent obstacle
(echo noise) due to mechanical noises, for
example while washing the vehicle or in
the case of rain, strong wind, and hail.
The sensors may not detect objects of a
particular shape or made from particular
materials (very thin poles, trailer beams,
panels, nets, bushes, anti-parking posts,
pavements, rubbish bins, motor vehicles,
etc.). Always take great care to check that
the vehicle and its path are actually
compatible with the parking place identi -
fied by the system.
The use of wheels and tires that are
different size to the original equipment
could affect the operation of the system.
The operation of the rear sensors is auto-
matically deactivated when the trailer's
electric plug is inserted in the vehicle's
tow hook socket, while the front sensors
stay active and can provide acoustic and
visual warnings. The rear sensors are auto-
matically reactivated when the trailer's
cable plug is removed.
In "Search in progress" mode, the system
could incorrectly identify a parking place
to carry out the maneuver (e.g. by a junc-
tion, driveways, roads crossing the direc-
tion of travel, etc.).
In the case of parking maneuvers on roads
on a slope, the performance of the system
could be inferior and it may deactivate.
If a parking maneuver is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside the
pavement, the system may cause the
vehicle to mount the pavement.
Some maneuvers at very tight bends might
be impossible to be carried out.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 161

STARTING AND OPERATING
162
Take great care to ensure that conditions
do not change during the parking
maneuver (e.g. if there are persons and/or
animals in the parking place, moving vehi-
cles, etc.) and intervene immediately if
necessary.
During parking maneuvers, pay attention
to vehicles approaching from the opposite
direction. Always abide by the law and
road regulations.
NOTE:
Correct system operation is not guaranteed
if snow chains or the space-saver wheel
are fitted.
The function only informs the driver about
the last appropriate parking place (parallel
or perpendicular) detected by the parking
sensors.
Some messages displayed are accompa-
nied by acoustic warnings.
LANESENSE — IF EQUIPPED
LaneSense Operation
The LaneSense system is operational at
speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below
112 mph (180 km/h). The LaneSense system uses a forward looking camera to
detect lane markings and measure vehicle
position within the lane boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and
the driver unintentionally drifts out of the
lane (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense
system provides a haptic warning in the form
of torque applied to the steering wheel, as
well as a visual warning in the instrument
cluster display, to prompt the driver to
remain within the lane boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic
warning by applying torque into the steering
wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected
and the driver unintentionally drifts across
the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the
LaneSense system provides a visual warning
through the instrument cluster display to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane.
When only a single lane marking is detected,
a haptic (torque) warning will not be
provided.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met,
the LaneSense system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and
provide an audible and visual warning to the
driver when the driver’s hands are not
detected on the steering wheel. The system
will cancel if the driver does not return their
hands to the wheel.
Turning LaneSense On Or Off
The default status of LaneSense is
“Off”.
The LaneSense button is located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect display.
To turn the LaneSense system on, push the
LaneSense button (LED turns off). A “Lane
Sense On” message is shown in the instru -
ment cluster display.
To turn the LaneSense system off, push the
LaneSense button again (LED turns on).
NOTE:
The LaneSense system will retain the last
system state on or off from the last ignition
cycle when the ignition is changed to the ON/
RUN position.
LaneSense Warning Message
The LaneSense system will indicate the
current lane drift condition through the
instrument cluster display.

Base Instrument Cluster Display — If Equipped
When the LaneSense system is on, the lane
lines are grey when both of the lane bound-
aries have not been detected and the Lane -
Sense telltale is solid white.
Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
When the LaneSense system is on, the
LaneSense telltale is solid white when
only the left lane marking has been
detected and the system is ready to
provide visual warnings in the instrument
cluster display if an unintentional lane
departure occurs.
When the LaneSense system senses the
lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes from white to grey, the left thin
line remains solid white and the Lane-
Sense telltale changes from solid white
to flashing yellow.
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the
similar behavior for a right lane departure
when only the right lane marking has been
detected. Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected

When the LaneSense system is on, the
lane lines turn from grey to white to indi-
cate that both of the lane markings have
been detected. The LaneSense telltale
is solid green when both lane markings
have been detected and the system is
“armed” to provide visual warnings in the
instrument cluster display and a torque
warning in the steering wheel if an unin -
tentional lane departure occurs.
When the LaneSense system senses a lane
drift situation, the left thick lane line and
the left thin line turn solid white. The
LaneSense telltale changes from solid
green to solid yellow. At this time torque is
applied to the steering wheel in the oppo-
site direction of the lane boundary.
For example: if approaching the left side
of the lane the steering wheel will turn to
the right.
When the LaneSense system senses the
