Эпопея с системой охлаждения!
О замене бачка писал, опишу проблему подробнее, возможно кому-то пригодится.
Из бачка стал уходить антифриз, видимых потёков не было, я напрягся и стал наблюдать.
Смотрел на уровень в бачке после ночной стоянки, система ж должна остыть, давление выровняться. Во время пуска двигателя смотрел на выхлопные газы. Почитал статьи про систему охлаждения, все пишут про прогоревшие прокладки, в общем жуть. Продолжалось это несколько месяцев. Антифриз периодически уходил, а я его подливал. Однажды поднял капот сразу после поездки по городу и вижу блестит коса проводов, которая проходит примерно под бачком. Трогаю её пальцем — палец красный. Думаю вот оно. Начинаю лазить искать. Включил фронтальную камеру на телефоне и засунул телефон под бачок, а там висит капля и дренажная трубка мокрая.
Всё вытер, выровнял уровень в бачке и стал ждать. А антифриз не уходит.
В итоге моих наблюдений оказалось, что на самом дне бачка, в самой его нижней точке, похоже образовалась микротрещина. При езде по городу, когда система охлаждения максимально разогревалась и создавалось максимально высокое давление, бачок начинал течь. Но тёк не сильно, поэтому до утра в подкапотном всё высыхало.
При этом автомобиль 2017 года, какого хрена бачок треснул непонятно.
Поставил новый бачок, заменил на нём крышку, и уже как порядка 2000 км этой проблемы нет. Но фобия осталась и литр антифриза всегда лежит в багажнике.
Всем добра и крепких бачков!
ParkSense Display
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.

Cleaning The ParkSense System
Clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car wash soap and
a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not scratch
or poke the sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the
sensors.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
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.” Furthermore, 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.
330
STARTING AND OPERATING
• 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) 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.
• 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 respon-
sible 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 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 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 con-
tinuous 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.
6
STARTING AND OPERATING
331
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 recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when using
ParkSense.
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, provid-
ing audible/visual instructions, and controlling the steer-
ing wheel. The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
defined as “semi-automatic” since the driver maintains
control of the accelerator, gear selector and brakes. De-
pending on the driver’s parking maneuver selection, the
ParkSense Active Park Assist system is capable of maneu-
vering 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 provided 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. envi-
ronmental conditions such as heavy rain, snow, etc., or if
searching for a parking space that has surfaces that will
absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
332
STARTING AND OPERATING
• New vehicles from the dealership 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
below the Uconnect display.
To enable the ParkSense Active Park Assist system, push
the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch once (LED turns
on).
To disable the ParkSense Active Park Assist system, push
the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch again (LED turns
off).
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will turn off
automatically for any of the following conditions:
• The parking maneuver is completed.
• Vehicle speed greater than 18 mph (30 km/h) when
searching for a parking space.
• Vehicle speed greater than 5 mph (7 km/h) during active
steering guidance into the parking space.
• Touching the steering wheel during active steering guid-
ance into the parking space.
• Pushing the ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist
switch.
• Driver’s door is opened.
• Rear liftgate is opened.
• Electronic Stability Control/Anti-lock Braking System

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will only operate
and search for a parking space when the following condi-
tions are present:
• Gear position 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).
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 reactivate the system by
pushing the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch.
• 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.
When pushed, the LED on the ParkSense Active Park

Perpendicular” message will appear in the instrument
cluster display. You may switch to perpendicular parking if
you desire. Push the OK button on the left side steering
wheel switch to change your parking space setting.
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 park-
ing 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.).
• 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).
334
STARTING AND OPERATING
• When seeking 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).
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 parallel parking
sequence.

The ParkSense Park Assist System in the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a helpful feature that aids drivers in parking and maneuvering their vehicles. However, like any electronic system, it can encounter faults or errors that require attention and service. Understanding these error messages and knowing the appropriate steps to take can help resolve the issue effectively.
When starting the vehicle, if the ParkSense System detects a faulted condition, the instrument cluster will emit a single chime and display a pop-up message. The message can include up to two faults, and possible fault messages are “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS,” “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE FRONT SENSORS,” or “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED.” This pop-up message remains on the display for five seconds.
When you shift the gear selector to the REVERSE position and the system detects a faulted condition, the instrument cluster will display a pop-up message stating “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS,” “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE FRONT SENSORS,” or “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” for five seconds.
After five seconds, a vehicle graphic will be displayed on the instrument cluster. The graphic will indicate “UNAVAILABLE” at either the front or rear sensor location, depending on where the fault is detected. However, the system will still provide arc alerts for the side that is functioning correctly. These arc alerts will interrupt the pop-up messages if an object is detected within the five-second duration. The vehicle graphic will remain displayed as long as the vehicle is in the REVERSE gear.
If you see “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS” or “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE FRONT SENSORS” in the instrument cluster display, the first step is to ensure that the outer surface and underside of the rear fascia/bumper or front fascia/bumper are clean and free from snow, ice, mud, dirt, or any other obstructions. Once you have cleared any potential obstructions, try cycling the ignition. If the error message persists, it is recommended to visit an authorized dealer for further assistance and service.
In the event that the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” message appears on the instrument cluster display, it is crucial to schedule an appointment with an authorized dealer. This message indicates a more significant issue that requires professional attention.
Clean the sensors
To maintain the optimal functionality of the ParkSense system, regular cleaning is necessary. Clean the ParkSense sensors using water, car wash soap, and a soft cloth. Avoid using rough or hard cloths that could scratch or damage the sensors. It is essential to handle the sensors with care during the cleaning process.
In conclusion, the ParkSense Park Assist System in the Jeep Grand Cherokee can experience faults or errors that may result in error messages displayed on the instrument cluster. It is important to follow the recommended steps outlined by the manufacturer when encountering these error messages.
If the issue persists or if the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” message appears, it is advisable to seek assistance from an authorized dealer. Proper cleaning and maintenance of the ParkSense sensors can also contribute to the system’s optimal performance.
So, you get into your Jeep, put your foot on the brake, and press the start button as usual. But trying to shift gear to R or D, nothing happens. A message in your instrument cluster says, “Auto Park Engaged, Shift to P, then Select Gear.”
You follow the instructions, but the vehicle is stuck in the park and can’t start, and the same message keeps displaying. That’s a frustrating experience and a safety concern, especially when partially blocking a road. We may have a solution below.
What Does the Jeep Auto Park Engaged Mean?
The Jeep “Auto Park Engaged” means the Auto Park system is active. The Auto Park is one of the numerous modern safety features on your Jeep that enhance your safety. It prevents you from accidentally exiting the vehicle when it’s unsafe.
That is if the Jeep isn’t in park and you exit the vehicle with the engine running. Also, the Auto Park feature protects you from moving the vehicle when a door is ajar. You’ll see an icon in the instrument cluster if the driver’s door is ajar. If you attempt to drive off the vehicle in that state, the Auto Park system may engage and stop it.
The Auto Park will automatically activate when the following conditions are satisfied:
- Your Jeep has an 8-speed transmission
- The driver’s door is ajar
- When you remove the driver’s door
- The seat pad sensor detects you (the driver) is missing (off the seat).
- You’ve unbuckled the seat belt
- The vehicle isn’t in PARK
- You’ve not depressed the brake pedal
- The car is moving at 1.2 mph (2 km/h) or less
How Can I Fix the Auto Park Engaged Issue on Jeep?
To fix the Auto Park Engaged issue on Jeep, check if the ‘door ajar’ notification on the dashboard is on. If you see it, close the door properly, and the feature will disengage. Another way to escape the situation is by pressing the accelerator pedal or ‘resetting’ the system. The reset involves performing a few engine-ON and OFF cycles.
Possible Solution #1: Close the Door
If the Auto Park activated the way it should, you’re supposed to see the door ajar icon on the instrument cluster. If you can see the little indicator on the dashboard, close the door properly with the vehicle in park. Shift to drive or reverse again, and you should now be out of that frustrating situation. However, something else has happened if you don’t see the ‘Open Door’ notification.
Possible Solution #2: Press the Accelerator Pedal
Before trying this fix, ensure you’ve locked the door fully and that your seat belt is on. These conditions are essential for the brake disengagement to work. Once you’ve done that, press the accelerator, and hopefully, the parking brake will automatically deactivate.
Possible Solution #3: ‘Reset’ the Jeep
Shut off your Jeep and turn it back on. Repeat a few times so it can ‘reset’ and allow you to move. As you do that, ensure you’ve properly closed the driver’s door and buckled the seat belt.
Alternatively, shut the Jeep off and open and close the door. Press the start button, WITHOUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE, and turn the vehicle off. Repeat the third time. After that, put your foot back on the brake, press the start switch, and move to R or D. This time, the car will probably comply.
How To Turn Off the Auto Park on Jeep
To turn off the Auto Park on Jeep, go to the Uconnect screen and navigate to the “Settings” tab. While on this screen, tap on the “Brakes” option. Next, uncheck the Auto Park entry, and you will have successfully disabled the feature.
Please consult your owner’s manual if that doesn’t work for you. The manual will offer a step-by-step guide on how to deactivate the feature. Different Jeep models may have different ways of disabling the Auto Park system.
The steps below may also apply to various models:
- Open your Jeep “Settings” using the touchscreen display or pressing the button.
- Choose the “Brakes” option from the menu.
- Find the “AutoPark Brake” feature and then choose “Off.”
- Verify that you’ve turned off the Auto Park feature. Do that by shifting the vehicle into Park and then checking that the system isn’t active.
Note: Truly, the Auto Park function can sometimes misbehave and frustrate you when it gets your Jeep stuck in PARK. Turning it off can save you from such an annoying and risky situation. Unfortunately, doing so can also put you and your passengers in danger if you accidentally leave the vehicle unsafely. Therefore, it would be best to leave the feature enabled as it can prevent an accident.
FAQs
Why Would My Jeep Get Stuck in the PARK?
A Jeep can stick in the PARK for various reasons. One typical one is that it may be low on transmission fluid. That can happen if a leak occurs and go unnoticed for long enough. Your car can also fail to shift out of the park due to low voltage or a wiring problem, such as a disconnected transmission shift cable.
Why Is My Jeep Stuck in Park but the Shifter Moves?
Your Jeep can stick in the park, although the gear shifter moves if there is debris in the transmission lines causing an obstruction. The shift solenoid itself could also be faulty. Another cause of this problem may be physical damage within the transmission.
Conclusion
Finding yourself in the Jeep “Auto Park Engaged” situation can be extremely frustrating. That’s particularly true if you’re in a hurry and new to this mishap. Fortunately, most ‘Jeepers’ that have experienced the problem resolved it easily.
The secret is to avoid panicking or freaking out. Thus, relax and execute the above possible solutions. One will probably work and allow you to get your Jeep moving. Otherwise, contact a reliable mechanic or tow the vehicle to a dealer for an accurate diagnosis and repair.
