STARTING AND DRIVING

The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug
is removed. Before using thePark-
Sense® system, it is recommended to
remove the tow hook ball assembly and
the relevant attachment from the vehi-
cle when the latter is not used for tow-
ing operations. Failure to comply with
this prescription may cause personal
injuries or damages to vehicles or
obstacles since, when the continuous
acoustic signal is emitted, the tow hook
ball is already in a position that is much
closer to the obstacle than the rear
bumper.
In addition, the sensors may detect the
tow hook ball assembly and the
relevant attachment (depending on its
size and shape), providing a false
indication of the presence of an
obstacle in the area behind the vehicle.
GENERAL WARNINGS
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the parking system:
❒reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence of: ice, snow, mud, thick
paint, on the surface of the sensor;
❒the sensor may detect a non-existent
obstacle ("echo interference") due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle, in rain
(strong wind), hail;❒the signals sent by the sensor can
also be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems of trucks or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle;
❒Parking assistance system
performance can also be influenced by
the position of the sensors, for example
due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock
absorbers, suspension), or by changing
tyres, overloading the vehicle or
carrying out specific tuning operations
that require the vehicle to be lowered.
❒the presence of a tow hook without
trailer, which may interfere with the
correct operation of the parking
sensors.
❒the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Thus take care not to place
adhesives on the sensors.
WARNING
126)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always make
sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the route
you want to drive into. The parking
sensors are an aid for the driver, but the
driver must never allow their attention
to lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds.
WARNING
42)The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
43)Only have interventions on the bumper
in the area of the sensors carried out by
a Jeep Dealership. Interventions on the
bumper that are not carried out properly
may compromise the operation of the
parking sensors.

LANESENSE
SYSTEM (lane
crossing warning)
DESCRIPTION
44) 45) 46) 47) 48) 49)
The LaneSense system makes use of a
camera located on the windscreen to
detect the lane limits and calculate
the position of the vehicle within such
limits, in order to make sure that it
remains inside the lane.
When both limits of the lane are
detected and the vehicle crosses one of
them without the awareness of the
driver (direction indicator off), the
system provides a tactile warning by
applying torque to the steering wheel,
signalling the driver that he must take
an action to remain into the lane.
If the vehicle continues going beyond
the line of the lane without any
intervention from the driver, the
warning light (or the corresponding
graphic icon on the reconfigurable
multifunction display) will be displayed
on the instrument panel to urge the
driver to bring the vehicle back into the
limits of the lane.IMPORTANT The system monitors the
presence of the driver's hands on
the steering wheel. If they are
not detected, the system emits an
acoustic signal and deactivates until it is
reactivated by pressing the dedicated
button.
When one limit of the lane is detected
and the vehicle crosses it (direction
indicator off), warning light
(or the
icon on the reconfigurable multifunction
display) will be displayed on the
instrument panel to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back into the lane.
In this case, the tactile warning (torque
on the steering wheel) is not provided.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
When the engine is started the system
is activated (LED on button
fig. 98
off). Each time the engine is started, the
system keeps the activation status
there was when it was previously
switched off.
Activation conditions
Once switched on, the system
becomes active only if the following
conditions are met:
❒the driver always keeps at least one
hand on the steering wheel;❒vehicle speed ranges within 60 km/h
and 180 km/h (or equivalent values in
miles);
❒the lane limit lines are perfectly visible
on both sides;
❒there are suitable visibility conditions;
❒the road is straight or with wide
radius bends;
❒a suitable distance is kept from the
vehicle in front;
❒the direction indicator (for leaving the
lane) is not active;
❒the lane limit lines are perfectly visible
on both sides (for activation of the
tactile warning only).
NOTE The system does not apply
torque to the steering wheel every time
a safety system is activated (brakes,
ABS, ASR system, ESC system,
Forward Collision Warning Plus system,
etc.).

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
44)The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windscreen.
45)Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g.
vehicles that are driving not aligned with
yours, vehicle driving in a transverse or
opposite way on the same lane, bend with
a small radius of curvature), by road
surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure
the windscreen is always clean. Use
specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windscreen. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
46)Projecting loads on the roof of the
vehicle may interfere with the correct
operation of the camera. Before starting
make sure the load is correctly positioned,
in order not to cover the camera operating
range.
47)If the windscreen must be replaced
due to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively a Jeep Dealership. Do
not replace the windscreen on your own,
risk of malfunction! It is advisable to replace
the windscreen if it is damaged in the area
of the camera.48)Do not tamper nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure
of the camera, contact a Jeep Dealership.
49)Do not cover the operating range of the
camera with stickers or other objects.
Also pay attention to other objects on the
bonnet (e.g. a layer of snow) and make
sure they do not interfere with the camera.

IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
127)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a
slow speed, so as to promptly brake in the
case of obstacles.
WARNING
50)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free
from mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed
using clean water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets,
clean the camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Do not apply stickers to the
camera.

STARTING AND DRIVING

To ensure correct operation of the
system, periodically remove all deposits
of dirt which may have accumulated
on the ball head bar and from the
mounting pipe. The lock must only be
treated with graphite.
Periodically lubricate the joints, the
sliding surfaces and the balls with
grease without resin or oil. Lubrication
is also a further corrosion protection.
if the vehicle is washed with high-
pressure jets, the ball head bar must be
removed and the dedicated plug fitted.
The ball head bar must never be
treated with high-pressure jets.
Two keys are supplied together with the
removable ball tow bar. Note down
the four-digit key number and keep it in
a safe place. This number is to be
used for ordering any duplicate keys
that may be required.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Jeep Dealership.
WARNING
128)The ABS with which the vehicle is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
therefore required on slippery surfaces.
129)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic
system.
