Depends on the trim. On the 2019 Jeep Cherokee, Blind-spot Monitoring was standard on the Limited, Trailhawk and Overland. On the Latitude and Latitude Plus it only came with an optional package, so plenty of those were built without it.
Does the 2019 Jeep Cherokee have blind spot monitoring? Trim by trim
- Latitude, Latitude Plus: package only (Jeep's spec sheet ties it to the SafetyTec Group)
- Limited, Trailhawk, Overland: standard
The Latitude and Latitude Plus are the trims where it's hit or miss. Two Latitude Plus Cherokees on the same lot could easily differ, depending on whether the SafetyTec Group was added.
How to check your Cherokee
- Look at the side mirrors. If you have the system, there's a small warning icon in each outside mirror that lights up when a car is beside you.
- Check the window sticker. On a Latitude or Latitude Plus, SafetyTec Group on the sticker means you've got it.
- Ask a dealer. They can pull the original build from your VIN.
Adding blind spot detection to a Latitude or Latitude Plus
Our Authentic OEM BlindSpot Detection with Cross Traffic Detection is a radar system made from original equipment parts. Here's what the listing covers:
- The radar mounts behind a plastic bumper cover
- Cross traffic detection is built in, so you're warned about cars coming from the side when you back out
- Two versions: CAN, which gets reverse, turn signal and speed info from the Jeep's data network, and VSS, which uses the vehicle speed signal wire
Not sure which one you need? Send GCH your VIN and we'll confirm it before you order.
