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.
Before using theParkSense®system, it
is recommended to remove the
removable tow hook ball assembly andthe relevant attachment from the vehicle
when the latter is not used for towing
operations. Failure to comply with this
prescription may cause personal injuries
or damage 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. If you
wish to leave the tow hook fitted without
towing a trailer, it is advisable to contact
a Jeep Dealership for the relevant system
update operations because the tow hook
could be detected as an obstacle
ParkSense®by the central sensors.
the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Thus take care not to place
adhesives on the sensors.
WARNING
140)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 take. 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.

STARTING AND DRIVING

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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION

be detected as an obstacle by the central
sensors.
The presence of stickers on the
sensors can adversely affect the correct
operation of the system. Therefore, take
care not to place adhesives on the
sensors.
IMPORTANT
66)The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. While cleaning the
sensors, make sure not to scratch or
damage 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.
67)Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the area
of the sensors carried out by a Jeep
Dealership. Incorrect paint application
could affect the operation of the parking
sensors.

WARNING
144)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.
IMPORTANT
74)It is vital, for correct operation, that
the camera is always kept clean and free
from any 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. Also, do not apply stickers to the
camera.

Installing the ball head tow bar
Remove the plug from the mounting
pipe.
The ball head tow bar is usually in thereleased position when taken out from
the luggage compartment. This can be
observed by the knob spaced from the
tow bar, corresponding to a slot of
approximately 5 mm (see fig. 137 ) and
by the red mark on the knob directed to
the green mark on the tow bar. The tow
bar can be installed only when in these
conditions.
If the locking mechanism of the tow bar
is disengaged before the installation, or
at any other time, and is in the locked
position, it must be pre-loaded.
The locked position can be identified by
the green mark of the knob coinciding
with the green mark of the tow bar and
by the knob in the stop position on the
tow bar, namely without slot (see figure).
The locking mechanism is pre-loaded as
follows:
with key inserted and lock open,
extract the knob following the direction
of arrow A fig. 137;
then follow the direction of arrow B,
until it stops.
The release ball is pre-loaded and the
locking mechanism remains in the
pre-loading position even when the knob
is released.
The release lever is engaged and the
locking mechanism remains in the
pre-loading position even when the knob
is released.The tow bar must be inserted in the
housing pipe with the coupling pin for
the installation. Insert from the bottom
and push upwards: the mechanism locks
automatically.
Close the lock and always remove the
key. The key cannot be removed when
the lock is released. Then fit the
protection cap on the lock.
IMPORTANT To prevent injury to limbs,
keep hands away from the knob when
locking.
Removing the tow bar
Proceed as follows:
remove the protection cap from the
lock and press it on the key grip. Open
the lock with the key;
grip the tow bar firmly, remove the
knob following the direction of arrow A
fig. 137, then rotate in the direction of
arrow B until it stops, in order to release
it in unlocked position. Then remove the
tow bar from the housing pipe. The knob
can then be released (it will
automatically stop in released position);
arrange the tow bar in the luggage
compartment so that it cannot be dirtied
and/or damaged by other transported
objects;
finally, insert the dedicated plug in
the mounting pipe.
