Jeep Renegade (2018 year). Instruction - part 11

PARALLEL AND
PERPENDICULAR PARKING
DESCRIPTION

Activation

The system is activated pressing the
button on the dashboard (see "On/off"
paragraph): after being selected, the
system activates in search mode.
Considering that the system recognises
parking places even when it has not been
selected, it can be activated even
immediately after passing close to a
parking place suitable for the type of car.
The system will inform the driver,
through the instrument panel display,
about the operations to be performed for
a correct manoeuvre.

Selecting the type of parking

During the search and until the reverse
gear is engaged, the preferred type can
be selected for parking:

"Parallel": the car will search a parking

place parallel to the driving direction;

"Perpendicular": the vehicle will

search a parking place perpendicular to
the driving direction.

Selection of the search side

To select the search side and perform the
correct manoeuvre, act as follows:

Select the search for the parking

place and the manoeuvre on the

passenger side placing the direction
indicator in centre position (deactivated)
or pushed upwards.

Select the search for the parking

area and manoeuvre on the driver side
pushing the direction indicator
downwards.

Search for a parking place

Through the side sensors, the system
continuously searches for a free parking
place, suitable for the car’s dimensions.
While searching the vehicle should
continue following its route at a speed of
below 30 km/h and at a distance of
around 50 cm to 1.5 m from parked
vehicles.
A parking place is considered suitable if
it is about 80 cm longer than the
dimensions of the vehicle for parking
places parallel to the driving direction
and about 1 m per parking places
perpendicular to the driving direction,
compared to the vehicle's dimensions.

IMPORTANT While searching, vehicle
speed should not exceed 30 km/h;
when 25 km/h have been reached, the
driver is asked to decrease the speed;
if the speed of 30 km/h is exceeded, it
is deactivated (in this case, the system
can be restarted by pressing the button
on the instrument panel).

Manoeuvre

During manoeuvre, the vehicle's
movements can be controlled by
operating the accelerator, brake and
clutch pedals (versions with manual
gearbox), or the accelerator and brake
pedals (versions with automatic
transmission). Once a parking place has
been found, you will be asked to engage
reverse, leave the steering wheel and use
the pedals, while the system handles the
steering automatically to perform the
parking operation in the dedicated area.
During the manoeuvre it will be possible
to take advantage of the information
coming from the parking sensors (when
driving in reverse it is advisable to reach
the area where the rear sensors sound
continuously), but it is always advisable
to keep an eye on the surrounding area.
The car can be stopped during the
manoeuvre and, whilst remaining
stationary, reverse gear can temporarily
be released (for example, to allow a
pedestrian to go by in the area of the
manoeuvre).
The parking manoeuvre will be
interrupted in the following cases:

vehicle's speed is above 7 km/h;
the steering is (voluntarily or

unintentionally) moved (by grabbing it or
preventing it from moving);

173

uneven road surface or obstacles

before the wheels, affect vehicle's
movements, thus preventing it from
following the correct path.

IMPORTANT Manoeuvring is
deactivated if, after about 3 minutes,
parking has not been completed.

End of manoeuvre

The semi-automatic manoeuvre ends
when the display shows the message of
completed manoeuvre.
At the end of the manoeuvre, the driver
resumes control of the car and, if
necessary, has to complete parking
manually.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

If the sensors undergo impact which

alters their position, the system operation
could deteriorate considerably.

The system reaches top performance

after the vehicle has covered about
50 km (system "self-calibration").

If the sensors are dirty, covered by

snow, ice or mud or are repainted vs. the
original conditions, the system operation
could result strongly degraded. It is
extremely important that the sensors are
always clean in order for the system to
operate correctly. During cleaning make
sure not to scratch or damage them;
avoid using dry or rough cloths. The

sensors should be washed using clean
water with the addition of car shampoo if
necessary. In washing stations, clean the
sensors quickly, keeping the steam
jet/high pressure washing nozzles at least
10 cm away from the sensors.

Ultrasonic sound sources (e.g.

pneumatic brakes of trucks or air drills)
nearby could negatively influence the
sensor performance.

Sensors may detect a non-existent

obstacle (echo noise) due to mechanical
noises, for example while washing the
vehicle, in the case of rain, strong wind,
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 identified by the system.

The use of (one or more) tyres or

wheels of a different size to those at the
time of vehicle purchase could affect the
operation of the system.

If a trailer (with correctly engaged

socket) is present, the system will be
automatically disabled.

In "Search in progress" mode, the

system could incorrectly identify a
parking place to carry out the manoeuvre

(e.g. by a junction, driveways, roads
crossing the direction of travel, etc.).

In the case of parking manoeuvres on

roads on a gradient, the performance of
the system could be inferior and it may
deactivate.

If a parking manoeuvre is being

carried out between two parked vehicles
alongside the pavement, the system may
cause the vehicle to mount the
pavement.

Some manoeuvres at very tight bends

might be impossible to be carried out.

Take great care to ensure that

conditions do not change during the
parking manoeuvre (e.g. if there are
persons and/or animals in the parking
place, moving vehicles, etc.) and
intervene immediately if necessary.

During parking manoeuvres, pay

attention to cars approaching from the
opposite direction. Always comply with
the prescriptions of the Highway Code.

IMPORTANT Correct system operation
is not guaranteed if snow chains or the
space-saver wheel are fitted.

IMPORTANT The function only informs
the driver about the last appropriate
parking place (parallel or
perpendicular) detected by the parking
sensors.

174

TING

AND

DRIVING

IMPORTANT Some messages displayed
are accompanied by acoustic warnings.

WARNING

141) Parking and other 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 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.
142) The search for the parking space and
the parking manoeuvres must be
performed in compliance with the current
regulations of the Highway Code.
143) If you wish to stop the steering wheel
with your hands during a manoeuvre, it is
advisable to handle it firmly on the outer
rim. Do not try and keep your hands on
the inside or hold the spokes.

IMPORTANT

64) The operation of the system is based
on various components: front and rear
parking sensors, side sensors, steering
system, wheels, braking system and
instrument panel. The malfunction of one
of these components could compromise
the operation of the system.
65) 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.

175

SIDE DISTANCE WARNING
SYSTEM

(where provided)

66)

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
(fig. 127 ) and rear (fig. 128 ) bumpers.

The system warns the driver with an
acoustic signal and, where provided, with
visual indications on the instrument
panel display.

ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION

The system can operate only after driving
a short distance and if the vehicle speed
is between 0 and 18 km/h (0 and
11 mph).
The system can be activated/deactivated
via the "Settings" menu of the
Uconnect™ system (for further
information see the dedicated
supplement).

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

Some conditions may influence the
performance of the Side Distance
Warning 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 the ParkSense system, it is
recommended to remove the removable
tow hook ball assembly and the 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 ParkSense system update
operations because the tow hook could
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.

177

LANESENSE SYSTEM (lane
crossing warning)

DESCRIPTION

68) 69) 70) 71) 72) 73)

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 ON/OFF

When the engine is started the system is
activated (LED on button

fig. 129 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.).

TING

AND

DRIVING

IMPORTANT

68) 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.
69) 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.
70) 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.

71) 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.
72) Do not tamper with 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.
73) 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

Installing the ball head tow bar

Remove the plug from the mounting
pipe.
The ball head tow bar is usually in the

released 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
