STARTING AND OPERATING

Hands-Free Active Driving Assist System —

If Equipped
The Hands-Free ADA system uses sensors within

the steering wheel and a driver monitoring camera

located on top of the steering column to monitor

driver attentiveness. The Hands-Free ADA allows

the driver to remove their hands from the steering

wheel, but requires that the driver continue to pay

attention to the road.

NOTE:

The camera may record images of the driver during

certain crash, or near crash situations. To retrieve

the images recorded by the camera, special

equipment is required and access to the vehicle or

the camera is needed.
Hands-Free ADA will also change lanes when a turn

signal is activated if the lane in the direction

indicated is valid and clear, noted by a dashed line

in the direction of the available lane change. The

system uses sensors, including Blind Spot

Monitoring (BSM) sensors, to determine if a lane

change is possible. If the assisted lane change is in

progress, a green indication will appear.

Assisted Lane Change (Green)

NOTE:



The Hands-Free Active Driving Assist system is

only available on approved roadways. Please

consult the Jeep® website for further details on

supported roadways.



The Hands-Free Active Driving Assist system

requires an active subscription through Jeep®

Connect (Uconnect Connected Services)

package. If the ADA on/off button is pushed

without an active subscription, the instrument

cluster display will show the message “Active

Driving Assist Unavailable Update Subscrip

tion”. Refer to the Uconnect Owner’s Manual

Supplement for further information.



If previously disabled, activating the Hands-Free

Active Driving Assist system will also activate

the Forward Collision Warning and Pedestrian

Emergency Braking systems

page 261.



If the vehicle is equipped with the Jeep®

Connect (Uconnect Connected Services)

package, additional data may be collected

through the Jeep® Connect (Uconnect

Connected Services) system. This includes

information about the vehicle’s operation, a

collision involving the vehicle, the use of the

vehicle and its features, and in certain situa

tions, the location and approximate GPS speed

of the vehicle. Refer to the Uconnect Owner’s

Manual Supplement for Terms and Conditions

and Privacy Statements.



Vehicle data may be read from the Hands-Free

ADA system with special equipment and access

to the vehicle or the Event Data Recorder (EDR).

WARNING!

The driver is always responsible for determining

if a lane change is safe. Failure to follow this

warning can result in a collision and death or

serious personal injury.

the vehicle ahead, position in the lane compared

to other vehicles, and brake operation to ensure

safe operation of the vehicle under all road

conditions. Your complete attention is always

required while driving to maintain safe control of

your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can

result in a collision and death or serious

personal injury.
Some states and local laws may require hands

to be kept on the steering wheel at all times. For

vehicles equipped with the Hands-Free ADA

system, ONLY remove your hands from the

steering wheel if the Hands-Free system is

engaged, it is safe to do so, and it is permitted by

state and local laws.
You should turn off the Active Driving Assist

systems:



When driving in complex driving situations

(e.g. urban environments, construction zones,

etc.), adverse weather (e.g. rain, snow, fog,

sleet, dust), or adverse road conditions

(e.g. heavy traffic, worn or missing lane mark

ings, etc.).



When entering a highway off-ramp.



When driving on roads that are icy, snow

covered, or slippery.



When circumstances do not allow safe driving.

PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST

SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

The ParkSense Park Assist system provides visual

and audible indications of the distance between

the rear, and if equipped, the front fascia/bumper

and a detected obstacle when backing up or

moving forward (e.g. during a parking maneuver).

The vehicle brakes may be automatically applied

and released when performing a reverse parking

maneuver if the system detects a possible collision

with an obstacle.

NOTE:



The driver can disable the automatic braking

function by turning ParkSense off via the Park

Sense switch. The driver can also override auto

matic braking by changing the gear or by

pressing the gas pedal over 90% of its capacity

during the braking event.



Automatic brakes are not available if the vehicle

is in 4WD Low.



Automatic brakes will not be available if there is

a faulted condition detected with the ParkSense

Park Assist system or the Braking System

Module.



The automatic braking function may only be

applied if the vehicle deceleration is not enough

to avoid colliding with a detected obstacle.



The automatic braking function may not be

applied fast enough for obstacles that move

toward the rear of the vehicle from the left and/

or right sides.



The automatic braking function can be

enabled/disabled from the Customer Program

mable Features section of the Uconnect system.



ParkSense will retain its last known configura

tion state for the automatic braking function

through ignition cycles.

The automatic braking function is intended to

assist the driver in avoiding possible collisions with

detected obstacles when backing up in REVERSE

gear.

NOTE:



The system is designed to assist the driver and

not to substitute the driver.



The driver must stay in full control of the

vehicle's acceleration and braking and is

responsible for the vehicle's movements.

162

STARTING AND OPERATING

For limitations of this system and

recommendations, see

page 168.

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 or DRIVE. If ParkSense is

enabled at one of these gear selector positions,

the system will remain active until the vehicle

speed is increased to approximately 7 mph

(11 km/h) or above. The system will become active

again if the vehicle speed is decreased to speeds

less than approximately 6 mph (9 km/h). A display

warning will appear in the instrument cluster

display if the vehicle is in REVERSE and the speed

exceeds 7 mph (11 km/h).

ARK

ENSE

ENSORS

The four ParkSense sensors located in the rear

fascia/bumper, and the six ParkSense sensors

located in the front fascia/bumper, monitor the

area in front and behind the vehicle that is within

the sensors’ field of view. The front sensors detect

obstacles from approximately 12 inches (30 cm)

up to 47 inches (120 cm) from the front fascia/

bumper. The rear sensors can detect obstacles

from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to

79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper.

These distances depend on the location, type and

orientation of the obstacle in the horizontal

direction.

NOTE:

If the vehicle is equipped with ParkSense Active

Park Assist, there will be six ParkSense sensors

located in the rear fascia/bumper.

ARK

ISPLAY

The warning display will turn on indicating the

system status when the vehicle is in REVERSE or

when the vehicle is in DRIVE and an obstacle has

been detected.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by

showing a single arc in the left and/or right front or

rear regions based on the object’s distance and

location relative to the vehicle.
If an object is detected in the left and/or right rear

region, the display will show a single arc in the left

and/or right rear region and the system will

produce a tone. As the vehicle moves closer to the

object, the display will show the single arc moving

closer to the vehicle and the tone will change from

a single 1/2 second tone to slow, to fast, to

continuous.

RECAUTIONS

NOTE:



Ensure that the front and rear bumper are free

of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the

ParkSense system operating properly.



Jackhammers, large trucks, and other

vibrations could affect the performance of

ParkSense.



When you turn ParkSense off, the instrument

cluster will display “PARKSENSE OFF.” Further

more, once you turn ParkSense off, it remains

off until you turn it on again, even if you cycle the

ignition.



When you move the gear selector to the

REVERSE position and ParkSense is turned off,

the instrument cluster will display “PARKSENSE

OFF” for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.



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.



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) of 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.



ParkSense should be disabled when the liftgate

is in the open position. An opened liftgate could

provide a false indication that an obstacle is

behind the vehicle.

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 attention to your

surroundings. Failure to do so can result in

serious injury or death.



Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recom

mended that the ball mount and hitch ball

assembly be 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 vehicle 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.

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 operation 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 operations.

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 attention to your

surroundings. Failure to do so can result in

serious injury or death.



Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recom

mended that the ball mount and hitch ball

assembly be 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 vehicle 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, 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 recom

mended that the driver looks over his/her

shoulder when using ParkSense.

WARNING!

PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST

SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is

intended to assist the driver during parallel and

perpendicular parking maneuvers by identifying a

proper parking space, providing audible/visual

instructions, and controlling the steering wheel.

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is

defined as “semi-automatic” since the driver

maintains 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).

NOTE:



The driver is always responsible for controlling

the vehicle, responsible for any surrounding

objects, and must intervene as required.



The system is designed 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 dealership must have at

least 30 miles (48 km) accumulated before the

ParkSense Active Park Assist system is fully cali

brated 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 differ

ences such as over or under inflated tires and

new tires.

STARTING AND OPERATING

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system allows a

maximum number of shifts between DRIVE and

REVERSE. If the maneuver cannot be completed

within the maximum amount of shifts, the system

will cancel and the instrument cluster display will

instruct the driver to complete the maneuver

manually.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will only

operate and search for a parking space when the

following conditions are present:



Gear selector is in DRIVE



Ignition is in the RUN position



ParkSense Active Park Assist switch is activated



Driver's door is closed



Rear liftgate is closed



Vehicle speed is less than 15 mph (25 km/h)



Vehicle speed is less than 25 km/h



The outer surface and the underside of the front

and rear fascias/bumpers are clean and clear

of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction

NOTE:

If the vehicle is driven above approximately

15 mph (25 km/h), the instrument cluster display

will instruct the driver to slow down. If the vehicle

is driven above approximately 18 mph (30 km/h),

the system will cancel. The driver must then reac

tivate the system by pushing the ParkSense Active

Park Assist switch.
When pushed, the LED on the ParkSense Active

Park Assist switch will blink momentarily, and then

the LED will turn off if any of the above conditions

are not present.
If the vehicle is in any other gear than DRIVE, and

an objected is detected, the system will default to

Parallel Park Exit. A prompt will appear in the radio

screen, and the driver will need to select “Yes” or

“No” for a Parallel Park Exit maneuver. Any other

conditions will result in a default to a Parallel

Parking maneuver.

NOTE:



When searching for a parking space, use the

turn signal indicator to select which side of the

vehicle you want to perform the parking

maneuver. The ParkSense Active Park Assist

system will automatically search for a parking

space on the passenger's side of the vehicle if

the turn signal is not activated.



The driver needs to make sure that the selected

parking space for the maneuver remains free

and clear of any obstructions (e.g. pedestrians,

bicycles, etc.).

STARTING AND OPERATING



The driver is responsible to ensure that the

selected parking space is suitable for the

maneuver and free/clear of anything that may

be overhanging or protruding into the parking

space (e.g., ladders, tailgates, etc. from

surrounding objects/vehicles).



When searching for a parking space, the driver

should drive as parallel or perpendicular

(depending on the type of maneuver) to other

vehicles as possible.



The feature will only indicate the last detected

parking space (example: if passing multiple

available parking spaces, the system will only

indicate the last detected parking space for the

maneuver).



While the vehicle is in DRIVE, there will be a full

screen image in the Uconnect display. If the

driver shifts to REVERSE while searching for a

parking space, a camera image will appear in

the Uconnect display with a “Shift To Drive”

message.

When an available parking space has been found,

and the vehicle is not in position, you will be

instructed to move forward to position the vehicle

for a perpendicular or parallel parking sequence

(depending on the type of maneuver being

performed).
Once active steering begins, a camera image will

display in the Uconnect display with prompts that

will display for the duration of the maneuver.

Parking Space Found — Keep Moving Forward

Once the vehicle is in position, you will be

instructed to stop the vehicle’s movement and

remove your hands from the steering wheel. When

the vehicle comes to a standstill (your hands still

removed from the steering wheel), you will be

instructed to place the gear selector into the

REVERSE position.

Shift To Reverse — Parallel Parking Space

Shift To Reverse — Perpendicular Parking Space

The system may then instruct the driver to wait for

steering to complete before then instructing to

check the vehicle’s surroundings, and move

backward.
Several more gear shifts (DRIVE and REVERSE)

while keeping hands off of the steering wheel will

be instructed to the driver while checking the

vehicle’s surroundings before completing the

parking maneuver.
When the vehicle is in the parking position, the

maneuver is complete and the driver will be

instructed to check the vehicle's parking position,

then shift the vehicle into PARK. The message

“Active ParkSense Complete - Check Parking

Position” will be displayed momentarily.
