Jeep ParkSense Active Park Assist uses ultrasonic sensors mounted on the front and rear bumpers alongside vehicle control modules to measure distances to nearby obstacles during low-speed maneuvering. When a space is detected, the system provides visual distance graphics and audible chimes through the Uconnect display, while available active steering guides the vehicle into parallel or perpendicular spots while the driver manages gear selection, braking, and throttle.

The primary purpose of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) in diesel engines is to break down toxic nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions into harmless nitrogen gas and water vapor. Injected directly into the hot exhaust stream of vehicles equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, DEF triggers a chemical reaction that enables modern diesel trucks to satisfy strict federal clean air standards without compromising engine power or fuel efficiency.
