tow JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 2019 Owner handbook (in English)

• When you turn ParkSense OFF, the instru-
ment cluster display will read
“PARKSENSE OFF.” Furthermore, once
you turn ParkSense OFF, it remains off until
you turn it on again, even if you cycle the
ignition.
• ParkSense, when on, will reduce the vol-
ume of the radio when it is sounding a tone.
• Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, tak-
ing 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 the fascia/
bumper, or it could provide a false indica-
tion that an obstacle is behind the fascia/
bumper.
• Use the ParkSense switch to turn the
ParkSense system OFF if objects such as
bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc. are
placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the
rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close
object as a sensor problem, causing the“PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED” message to be displayed in
the instrument cluster display.
• 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. The rear sensors are automati-
cally reactivated when the trailer's cable
plug is removed.
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
WARNING!
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.
CAUTION!
• ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, in-
cluding 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 de-
tected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using ParkSense.STARTING AND OPERATING

CAUTION!
• When installing the power distribution
center cover, it is important to ensure
the cover is properly positioned and fully
latched. Failure to do so may allow water
to get into the power distribution center
and possibly result in an electrical sys-
tem failure.
• When replacing a blown fuse, it is impor-
tant to use only a fuse having the correct
amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a
CAUTION!
rating other than indicated may result in
a dangerous electrical system overload.
If a properly rated fuse continues to
blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit
that must be corrected.
JACKING AND TIRE
CHANGING
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving traf-
fic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid
the danger of being hit when operating
the jack or changing the wheel.
189

WARNING!
• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dan-
gerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be
crushed. Never put any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you
need to get under a raised vehicle, take
it to a service center where it can be
raised on a lift.
• Never start or run the engine while the
vehicle is on a jack.
• The jack is designed to be used as a tool
for changing tires only. The jack should
not be used to lift the vehicle for service
purposes. The vehicle should be jacked
on a firm level surface only. Avoid ice or
slippery areas.
Jack Location
The jack and lug wrench are located in the
rear cargo area. To remove jack and tools
proceed as follows:
1. Lift the load floor in the cargo area.NOTE:
The load floor can be removed for easier
access by pulling the load floor directly
rearward.
2. Remove the hardware storage cover by
pinching the latch on the left side and
pulling upward.
3. Turn the black plastic wing nut counter-
clockwise to loosen the jack from the
storage bin.
4. Remove tool kit and assemble tools.
Spare Tire Removal
1. To remove the spare tire from the carrier,
remove the tire cover, if equipped.
NOTE:
The spare wheel is mounted on the out-
side of the tailgate, protected by a plastic
cover with fasteners. Under traffic regula-
tions, the cover must not be removed or
insecurely fixed during use of the vehicle
on the public highway. Reference should
be made to local laws and regulations. Ifthe spare wheel is used, before continuing
your journey check that the damaged
wheel is securely mounted and the cover
is correctly fixed in place. Also take care
not to obstruct the rear camera.
2. Remove the Rear Camera Cover by turning
the lock bolt to the left with the #T40 Torx
head driver and ratchet from the supplied
tool kit.
3. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench
turning them counterclockwise. If
equipped, remove the locking lug nut with
the lock key (located in the glove box)
turning it counterclockwise.
Stowing The Replaced Spare Tire
1. Mount the spare tire onto the carrier.
Torque down lug nuts and locking lug nut.
2. Return the lock bolt to the lock position
on the camera cover by turning the lock to
the right using the provided #T40 Torx
head driver and ratchet. Then, reinstall
the camera cover by slipping it over the
camera/tire carrier until it snaps into
place.
