Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature 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 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 3 mph(5 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 and the vehicle is in
REVERSE, the driver is alerted using both
the visual and audible alarms, including
reducing the radio volume.
Modes Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are
available in the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only (Default Setting)
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
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 Detection (RCP) is not a
back up aid system. It is intended to be
used to help a driver detect an oncoming
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.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 83

STARTING AND OPERATING
154
If equipped with a automatic transmis-
sion, The ACC system decelerates the
vehicle to a full stop when following a
target vehicle. If an ACC host vehicle
follows a target vehicle to a standstill,
after two seconds the driver will either
have to push the RES (resume) button, or
apply the accelerator pedal to reengage
the ACC to the existing set speed.
The ACC system maintains set speed when
driving uphill and downhill. However, a
slight speed change on moderate hills is
normal. In addition, downshifting may
occur while climbing uphill or descending
downhill. This is normal operation and
necessary to maintain set speed. When
driving uphill and downhill, the ACC
system will cancel if the braking tempera-
ture exceeds normal range (overheated).
Setting The Following Distance In ACC
The specified following distance for ACC can
be set by varying the distance setting
between four bars (longest), three bars
(long), two bars (medium) and one bar
(short). Using this distance setting and the
vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the
distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance
setting will show in the instrument cluster
display.To decrease the distance setting, push the
Distance Button and release. Each time the
button is pushed, the distance setting
decreases by one bar (shorter). Once the
shortest setting is reached, if the button is
pushed again it will be set to the longest
setting available.
PARKSENSE REAR PARK
ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Rear Park Assist system
provides visual and audible indications of
the distance between the rear fascia and a
detected obstacle when backing up (e.g.
during a parking maneuver). Refer to “Park
-
Sense System Usage Precautions” for limita -
tions 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.
ParkSense can be active only when the gear
selector is in REVERSE. The system will
remain active until the vehicle speed is
increased to approximately 7 mph (11 km/h)
or above. While in REVERSE and above the
system's operating speed, a warning will
appear in the instrument cluster display indi -
cating the vehicle speed is too fast. The system will become active again if the
vehicle speed is decreased to speeds less
than approximately 6 mph (9 km/h).
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 inches (30 cm) up to
79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction,
depending on the location, type and orienta
-
tion of the obstacle.
ParkSense Warning Display
The ParkSense Warning screen will only be
displayed if “Sound and Display” is selected
from the Customer - Programmable Features
section of the Uconnect System. Refer to
"Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
The ParkSense Warning screen is located
within the instrument cluster display. It
provides visual warnings to indicate the
distance between the rear fascia/bumper and
the detected obstacle. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual for
further information.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 154

STARTING AND OPERATING
156
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).
Refer to “ParkSense System Usage Precau-
tions” in “Starting And Operating” in your 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.
ParkSense is active in all gear selector posi
-
tions (including PARK), as long as the
system is on. The system will remain active
until the vehicle speed is increased to
approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above.
While in REVERSE and above the system's
operating speed, a warning will appear in the
instrument cluster display indicating the
vehicle speed is too fast. The system will
become active again if the vehicle speed is
decreased to speeds less than approximately
6 mph (9 km/h).
ParkSense Sensors
The six 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 inches (30 cm) up to
79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction,
depending on the location, type and orienta -
tion of the obstacle.
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.
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.

NOTE:
For further information on Active Park Assist,
refer to “ParkSense Active Park Assist
System” in this chapter.
The six ParkSense sensors, located in the
front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in
front of the vehicle that is within the sensors’
field of view. The sensors can detect obsta-
cles from approximately 12 inches (30 cm)
up to 47 inches (120 cm) from the front
fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction,
depending on the location, type and orienta -
tion of the obstacle.
Enabling And Disabling ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and
disabled with the ParkSense switch,
located on the switch panel below
the Uconnect display.
When the ParkSense switch is pushed to
disable the system, the instrument cluster
display will show the “PARKSENSE OFF”
message for approximately five seconds.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in
your Owner’s Manual for further details.
When the gear selector is moved to
REVERSE and the system is disabled, the instrument cluster display will show 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 momen
-
tarily, and then the LED will be on.
Side Distance Warning System
The Side Distance Warning system has the
function of detecting the presence of side
obstacles near the vehicle using the parking
sensors located in the front and rear
bumpers.
Side Distance Warning Display
The Side Distance Warning screen will only
be displayed if “Sound and Display” is
selected from the Customer - Programmable
Features section of the Uconnect System.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi -
media” in the Owner’s Manual for further
information. The system warns the driver with an acoustic
signal and where provided, with visual indi
-
cations on the instrument panel display.
NOTE:
Parksense will reduce the volume of the
radio if on when the system is sounding an
audible tone.
Activation And Deactivation
The system can operate only after driving a
short distance and if the vehicle speed is
between 0 and 7 mph (0 and 11 km/h). The
system can be activated/deactivated via the
"Settings" menu of the Uconnect system. If
the ParkSense System is deactivated via the
ParkSense hard switch then the side
distance warning system will automatically
be deactivated.
Message on the display for Side Distance
Warning feature:
“Wipe Sensors” — This message is
displayed in the case of a failure of the Side
Distance Warning system sensors. Free the
bumpers of any obstacles, ensure that the
front and rear bumper are free of snow, ice,
mud, dirt and debris to keep the ParkSense
system operating properly.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 157

STARTING AND OPERATING
158
“SDW Not Available” — This message is
displayed if the Side Distance Warning
system is not available. The failed operation
of the system might be due to the insuffi-
cient voltage from the battery or other fail -
ures on the electrical system. Contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible to have
the electrical system checked.
Operation With A Trailer
The system is automatically deactivated
when the trailer's electric plug is inserted in
the vehicle's tow hook socket. The rear
sensors are automatically reactivated when
the trailer's cable plug is removed.
ParkSense Usage Precautions
Some conditions may influence the perfor -
mance of the Side Distance Warning System:
NOTE:
Ensure that the front and rear bumper are
free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to
keep the ParkSense system operating
properly.
Construction equipment, large trucks, and
other vibrations could affect the perfor -
mance of ParkSense.
When you turn ParkSense off, the message
to appear in the instrument cluster display
will read “PARKSENSE OFF.” Further -
more, once you turn ParkSense off, it
remains off until you turn it on again, even
if you cycle the ignition key.
ParkSense, when on, will reduce the
volume of the radio when it is sounding a
tone.
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.
The presence of a tow hook without a
trailer may interfere with the correct oper -
ation of the parking sensors. Before using
the ParkSense system, it is recommended
to remove the removable tow hook ball
assembly and any attachments from the
vehicle when it is not used for towing oper -
ations. If you wish to leave the tow hook
fitted without towing a trailer, it is advis- able to contact an authorized dealer for
the ParkSense system update operations
because the tow hook could be detected
as an obstacle by the central sensors.
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

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

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.
