2022 Jeep Wagoneer Owners Manual - Parksense active park assist system — if equipped

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. The system works by identifying a proper parking space, providing audible/visual instructions, and controlling the steering wheel only, or the accelerator, gear selector, brakes, and the steering wheel (if equipped with the Fully Automated system). 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).

Two types of ParkSense Active Park Assist systems are available:

• Semi-Automatic ParkSense Active Park Assist

• ParkSense Automated Parking system

Semi-Automatic ParkSense Active Park Assist — If Equipped

The Semi-Automatic system detects parking spaces, and controls the steering wheel only. The driver maintains control of the accelerator, gear selector and brakes.

ParkSense Automated Parking — If Equipped

The Fully Automated system detects parking spaces, and controls the accelerator, gear selector, brakes, and steering wheel. In this mode, the system also provides obstacle detection by providing visual and audible warnings and automatic braking to avoid a collision.

If your vehicle is equipped with the Fully Automated system, you can switch between Semi-Automatic and Fully Automated mode in the Uconnect Settings UCONNECT SETTINGS.

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 or Fully Automated 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 dealer must have at least 30 miles (48 km) accumulated before the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is fully calibrated 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 differences such as over or under inflated tires and new tires.

ENABLING AND DISABLING THE PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system can be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch, located on the switch panel on the forward part of the center console, in front of the gear selector.

To enable the ParkSense Active Park Assist system, push the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch once (LED turns on). Pushing the switch a second time will disable the system (LED turns off).

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will turn off automatically for any of the following conditions:

• Parking maneuver is completed

• Vehicle speed is greater than 28 mph (45 km/h) when searching for a parking space during a Fully Automated maneuver

• Vehicle speed is greater than 18 mph (30 km/h) when searching for a parking space during a Semi-Automatic maneuver

• Vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (7 km/h) during Semi-Automatic active steering guidance into the parking space

• Steering wheel is touched during Fully Automated or Semi-Automatic active steering guidance into the parking space

• The gas pedal or brake pedal is pressed during Fully Automated active steering guidance into the parking space

• ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist switch is pushed

• Any of the doors are opened during a Fully Automated maneuver

• The driver door is opened during a Semi-Automatic maneuver

• Rear liftgate is opened

• A trailer is connected

• Vehicle is in 4WD Low

• Cruise Control, Adaptive Cruise Control, or Active Driving Assist systems are engaged

• Electronic Stability Control/Anti-Lock Braking System intervention

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

• All of the doors are closed

• Rear liftgate is closed

• Vehicle speed is less than 15 mph (25 km/h) during a Semi-Automatic maneuver

• Vehicle speed is less than 25 mph (40 km/h) during a Fully Automated maneuver

• 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:

• During a Semi-Automatic maneuver, 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 reactivate the system by pushing the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch.

• During a Fully Automated maneuver, if the vehicle is driven above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h), the instrument cluster display will instruct the driver to slow down. If the vehicle is driven above approximately 28 mph (45 km/h), the system will cancel. The driver must then reactivate the system by pushing the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch.

When pushed, the LED on the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch will blink momentarily. If any of the preceding conditions are not present, then the LED will turn off.

If the vehicle is in any other gear than DRIVE, and an objected is detected in the vehicle’s path, the system will default to Parallel Park Exit. A prompt will appear in the Uconnect display, 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.

PARKSENSE AUTOMATED PARKING — IF EQUIPPED

PARALLEL/PERPENDICULAR PARKING SPACE ASSISTANCE OPERATION

When the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is enabled, the driver must press “Park” on the Uconnect display, and the system will begin searching for valid parallel and perpendicular parking spaces.

Note:

• 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.).

• 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.

• 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.

Both types of valid spaces (parallel and perpendicular) will be displayed in the Uconnect display as they are found. The available spaces will update in real time.

When valid parking spaces have been found, the driver will be prompted to stop the vehicle.

Select A Space

The driver can then select a parking space by pressing the desired space on the Uconnect display.

Note:

If a space selection is attempted before the vehicle is stopped, a warning screen will appear in the Uconnect display with instructions to stop the vehicle to make a selection.

If the driver selects a perpendicular parking space, the system will prompt the driver to choose a Forward or Reverse parking method.

Choose Perpendicular Parking Method

Note:

You can press the “Back” button on the display to return to the parking space selection screen and select a different space.

Once the parallel or perpendicular parking maneuver selection has been made, a message will appear in the display with instructions to hold down the brake pedal and Active Park Assist switch. Both of these conditions must be met in order to begin the parking maneuver. The message also instructs the driver to push and hold the Active Park Assist switch for the entire maneuver.

Note:

When the Active Park Assist switch is held down, the turn signal for the side of the vehicle where the selected parking space is located will turn on automatically.

The system will then instruct the driver to remove hands from the steering wheel and feet from the pedals. This screen will be shown for a minimum of two seconds, or until the driver releases the brake pedal.

When the parking sequence is initiated by the driver after the previously described conditions are met, the Uconnect system will display a Top View along with either a rear camera view (if the vehicle is placed in REVERSE) or a forward camera view (if the vehicle is placed in DRIVE).

The Top View will have integrated ParkSense arcs in the image at the front and rear of the vehicle. The arcs will change color from yellow to red corresponding the distance zones to the oncoming object.

The system will then perform the parking maneuver. Once the maneuver is complete, the vehicle will automatically shift into PARK.

The system will display a “Complete!” message and instruct the driver to release the Active Park Assist switch.

Once the Active Park Assist switch is released, a chime will sound and the LED on the switch will turn off. After approximately five seconds, the previous Uconnect screen will display.

Note:

• It is the driver's responsibility to use the brake and stop the vehicle. The driver should check their surroundings and be prepared to stop the vehicle either when instructed to, or when driver intervention is required.

• When the system instructs the driver to remove their hands from the steering wheel, the driver should check their surroundings and begin to back up slowly.

• The system will cancel the maneuver if the vehicle speed exceeds 28 mph (45 km/h) during active steering guidance into the parking space. The system will provide a warning to the driver at 28 mph (40 km/h) that tells them to slow down. The driver is then responsible for completing the maneuver if the system is canceled.

• If the system is canceled during the maneuver for any reason, the driver must take control of the vehicle.

Warning:

• Drivers must be careful when performing parallel or perpendicular parking maneuvers even when using the ParkSense Active Park Assist system. Always check carefully behind and in front of your vehicle, look behind and in front of you, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before backing up and moving forward. 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 the ParkSense Active Park Assist system, it is strongly recommended 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/bumper 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:

• The ParkSense Active Park Assist system 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 the ParkSense Active Park Assist system in order to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver looks over his/her shoulder when using the ParkSense Active Park Assist system.

PARALLEL PARK EXIT

Enable the ParkSense Active Park Assist system by pressing the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch. To initiate a parking space exit maneuver, the vehicle must be stopped, and the driver must press “Exit” on the Uconnect display.

After the driver chooses a parallel park exit maneuver, the system will then prompt the driver to choose an exit method. The exit method options are Forward Left and Forward Right.

Choose Exit Method

Note:

If an exit method selection is attempted before the vehicle is stopped, the driver will be instructed to stop the vehicle to make a selection.

After the driver chooses a parallel exit side, a message appears in the Uconnect display with instructions to hold the brake pedal and hold down the Active Park Assist switch. Both of these conditions must be met before the maneuver can begin.

When the Active Park Assist switch is held down, the turn signal for the chosen exit side will turn on automatically.

The system will then instruct the driver to remove hands from the steering wheel and feet from the pedals. This screen will be shown for a minimum of two seconds, or until the driver releases the brake pedal.

When the exit sequence is initiated by the driver after the previously described conditions are met, the Uconnect system will display a Top View along with either a rear camera view (if the vehicle is placed in REVERSE) or a forward camera view (if the vehicle is placed in DRIVE), and the exit maneuver will begin.

The Top View will have integrated ParkSense arcs in the image at the front and rear of the vehicle. The arcs will change color from yellow to red corresponding the distance zones to the oncoming object.

The automatic maneuver ends when the vehicle is clear of the parking space, and the display shows the message of a completed maneuver. The vehicle will be in DRIVE and held hydraulically by the brakes until the driver presses the accelerator pedal. The system gives vehicle control back to the driver.

Once the driver regains control of the vehicle, a chime will sound and the LED on the switch will turn off. After approximately five seconds, the previous Uconnect screen will display.

PARKING MANEUVER PAUSED/CANCELED

Certain conditions can pause or cancel a Fully Automated park or exit maneuver.

The ParkSense Automated Parking system can be paused due to the driver’s finger being removed from the Active Park Assist switch and/or an object in the vehicle’s path during a parking maneuver.

If one or more of these scenarios occur, automatic braking will bring the vehicle to a stop and hold the vehicle hydraulically by the brakes.

The driver will be instructed to hold the Active Park Assist switch to continue the park or exit maneuver. If the driver does not resume holding the switch down, the maneuver will cancel.

If the maneuver is paused due to an object in the vehicle’s path, a message will appear in the Uconnect display. The maneuver will remain paused until the object is no longer in the vehicle’s path.

The system can also be paused before the Active Park Assist switch is held down if the driver shifts into REVERSE.

The driver will be instructed to shift to DRIVE to continue the maneuver. If the vehicle is shifted into DRIVE, the process will continue on to the seek/maneuver selection phase.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED

PARALLEL/PERPENDICULAR PARKING SPACE ASSISTANCE OPERATION

When the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is enabled, the driver must press “Park” on the Uconnect display, and the system will begin searching for valid parallel and perpendicular parking spaces.

Note:

If your vehicle is equipped with a Fully Automated system, you may have to update your selected setting in the Uconnect system to switch to a Semi-Automatic maneuver UCONNECT SETTINGS.

Note:

• 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.).

• 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.

• 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.

Both types of valid spaces (parallel and perpendicular) will be displayed in the Uconnect display as they are found. The available spaces will update in real time.

When valid parking spaces have 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).

A chime will sound, and the driver will be instructed to stop the vehicle and to select a space. This can be done by pressing the desired space on the Uconnect display.

Select A Space

If the driver selects a perpendicular parking space, the system will prompt the driver to choose a Forward or Reverse parking method.

Choose Perpendicular Parking Method

After a parking space has been selected, the driver will be instructed to remove hands from the steering wheel and shift into REVERSE.

Remove Hands From Wheel And Shift To Reverse

Once active steering begins, a camera image will appear in the Uconnect display with instructions that will display for the duration of the maneuver.

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.

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 “Complete! Check Parking Position” will be displayed momentarily.

Note:

• It is the driver's responsibility to use the brake and stop the vehicle. The driver should check their surroundings and be prepared to stop the vehicle either when instructed to, or when driver intervention is required.

• It is the driver’s responsibility to use the brake and accelerator during the Semi-Automatic parking maneuver.

• When the system instructs the driver to remove their hands from the steering wheel, the driver should check their surroundings and begin to back up slowly.

• The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will allow a maximum of eight shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE. If the maneuver cannot be completed within eight shifts, the system will cancel and the instrument cluster display will instruct the driver to complete the maneuver manually.

• The system will cancel the maneuver if the vehicle speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h) during active steering guidance into the parking space. The system will provide a warning to the driver at 15 mph (25 km/h) that tells them to slow down. The driver is then responsible for completing the maneuver if the system is canceled.

• If the system is canceled during the maneuver for any reason, the driver must take control of the vehicle.

Warning:

• Drivers must be careful when performing parallel or perpendicular parking maneuvers even when using the ParkSense Active Park Assist system.
