Jeep Grand Cherokee L (2024 year). Manual in english

WARNING!

•

Your motorized door or gate will open and close
while you are programming the universal trans-
ceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or
pets are in the path of the door or gate.

•

Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or con-
fined area while programming the transceiver.
Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains carbon
monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless.
Carbon monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and
can cause you and others to be severely injured or
killed.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TO A
MISCELLANEOUS DEVICE

The procedure on how to program HomeLink® to a mis-
cellaneous device follows the same procedure as pro-
gramming to a garage door opener

page 48. Be

sure to determine if the device has a rolling code, or
non-rolling code before beginning the programming
process.

NOTE:

Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require transmit-
ter signals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of
transmission, which may not be long enough for
HomeLink® to pick up the signal during programming.
Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators
are designed to time-out in the same manner. The pro-
cedure may need to be performed multiple times to
successfully pair the device to your HomeLink®
buttons.

REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
HOMELINK® BUTTON

To reprogram a single HomeLink® button that has been
previously trained, without erasing all the channels,
proceed as follows. Be sure to determine whether the
new device you want to program the HomeLink® button
to has a rolling code, or non-rolling code.

1. Place the ignition to the ON/RUN position, without

starting the engine.

2. Push and hold the desired HomeLink® button until

the HomeLink® indicator light begins to flash after
20 seconds.

Do not release the button.

Without releasing the button

, proceed with Step 2

in “Programming HomeLink® To A Garage Door
Opener” and follow all remaining steps.

CANADIAN/GATE OPERATOR
PROGRAMMING

For programming transmitters in Canada/United States
that require the transmitter signals to “time-out” after
several seconds of transmission:

It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling
process to prevent possible overheating of the garage
door or gate motor.

1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™,
place the ignition in the ON/RUN position. Make
sure while programming HomeLink® with the
engine on that your vehicle is outside of your
garage, or that the garage door remains open at all
times.

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to

8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to
program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator
light in view.

3. Continue to push and hold the HomeLink® button

while you push and release (cycle) your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until HomeLink® has
successfully accepted the frequency signal. The indi-
cator light will flash slowly and then rapidly when
fully trained.

4. Watch for the HomeLink® indicator to change flash

rates. When it changes, it is programmed. It may
take up to 30 seconds or longer in rare cases. The
garage door may open and close while you are
programming.

5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink® button

and observe the indicator light.

NOTE:

○

If the indicator light stays on constantly, program-
ming is complete and the garage door/device
should activate when the HomeLink® button is
pushed.

○

To program the two remaining HomeLink® but-
tons, repeat each step for each remaining but-
ton. DO NOT erase the channels.

If you unplugged the garage door opener/device for
programming, plug it back in at this time.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Reprogramming A Single HomeLink® Button
(Canadian/Gate Operator)

To reprogram a channel that has been previously
trained, follow these steps:

1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button until

the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds.
Do not release the button.

3. Without releasing the button, proceed with

“Canadian/Gate Operator Programming” Step 2 and
follow all remaining steps.

SECURITY

It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn
in your vehicle.

To do this, push and hold the two outside buttons for
20 seconds until the indicator flashes. Note that all
channels will be erased. Individual channels cannot be
erased.

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is disabled when
the Vehicle Security system is active.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

If you are having trouble programming HomeLink®,
here are some of the most common solutions:

•

Replace the battery in the garage door opener hand-
held transmitter.

•

Push the LEARN button on the garage door opener
to complete the training for a rolling code.

•

Did you unplug the device for programming and
remember to plug it back in?

If you have any problems, or require assistance, please
call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or on the Internet at
HomeLink.com for information or assistance.

WARNING!

•

Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dan-
gerous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage
while programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.

•

Your motorized door or gate will open and close
while you are programming the universal trans-
ceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people,
pets or other objects are in the path of the door or
gate. Only use this transceiver with a garage door
opener that has a “stop and reverse” feature as
required by Federal safety standards. This includes
most garage door opener models manufactured
after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener with-
out these safety features.

EXTERIOR LIGHTS

HEADLIGHT SWITCH

The headlight switch is located on the left side of the

light switch controls the operation of the headlights,
parking lights, instrument panel lights, and fog lights
(if equipped).

Headlight Switch

1 — Rotate Headlight Control
2 — Push Front Fog Light Control
3 — Ambient Light Dimmer Control
4 — Instrument Panel Dimmer Control

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:

Vehicles sold in Canada are equipped with a headlight
switch with an AUTO and ON detent but without an OFF
detent. Headlights will be deactivated when the head-
light switch is placed in the parking lights position. How-
ever, the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will be acti-
vated along with the front and rear marker lights. The
DRLs may be deactivated when the parking brake is
engaged.

To turn on the headlights, rotate the headlight switch
clockwise. When the headlight switch is on, the parking
lights, taillights, license plate light and instrument panel
lights are also turned on. To turn off the headlights,
rotate the headlight switch back to the O (off) position.

•

Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlight and
fog light (if equipped) lenses that are lighter and
less susceptible to stone breakage than glass lights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and
therefore different lens cleaning procedures must
be followed.

•

To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses
and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap
solution followed by rinsing.

CAUTION!

Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents,
steel wool or other abrasive materials to clean the
lenses.

MULTIFUNCTION LEVER

The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the
steering column.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS)

•

Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and tail-
lights of vehicles in the field of view will cause head-
lights to remain on longer (closer to the vehicle).
Also, dirt, film, and other obstructions on the wind-
shield or camera lens will cause the system to func-
tion improperly.

If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Headlight
Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed
to ensure proper performance. See a local authorized
dealer.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS

The windshield wiper/washer lever is located on the
right side of the steering column. The front wipers are
operated by rotating a switch, located on the end of the
lever.

WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION

The wipers and washers are operated by a switch within
the wiper lever. Rotate the switch at the end of the lever
upward, to the first detent past the intermittent settings
for low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the switch at the
end of the lever upward to the second detent past the
intermittent settings for high-speed wiper operation. To
turn the windshield wipers off, rotate the switch within
the lever all the way down to OFF.

CAUTION!

Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the
windshield wiper blades from returning to the parked
position. If the windshield wiper switch is turned off,
and the blades cannot return to the parked position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.

Intermittent Wiper System

Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle with a variable pause
between cycles desirable. Rotate the switch at the end
of the wiper lever to the first detent position, and then
turn the switch at the end of the lever to select the
desired delay interval. There are four delay settings,
which allow you to regulate the wipe interval from a
minimum of one cycle every second to a maximum of
approximately 36 seconds between cycles. The delay
intervals will double in duration when the vehicle speed
is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.

NOTE:

If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph (16 km/h),
delay times will be doubled.

Windshield Washer Operation

To use the washer, pull the lever rearward toward you
and hold. If the lever is pulled while on the intermittent
setting, the wipers will turn on and operate for several
wipe cycles after the lever is released, and then resume
the intermittent interval previously selected. If the lever
is pulled while the wipers are in the off position, the
wipers will operate several cycles, then turn off.

NOTE:

•

As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the
switch is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the
switch is released the pump will resume normal
operation.

•

If the front window washer feature is activated, all of
the front cameras (if equipped) on the vehicle will
be washed as well.

WARNING!

Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could
lead to a collision. You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the wind-
shield during freezing weather, warm the windshield
with the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.

Mist

Use the Mist feature when weather conditions make
occasional usage of the wipers necessary. Push the
lever upward to the MIST position and release for a
single wiping cycle.

NOTE:

The Mist feature does not activate the washer pump;
therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on the wind-
shield. The washer function must be used in order to

gested control settings for various weather conditions.

Summer Operation

The engine cooling system must be protected with a
high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corro-
sion protection and to protect against engine overheat-
ing. OAT coolant (conforming to MS.90032) is recom-
mended. For more information, see

page 324.

Winter Operation

To ensure the best possible heater and defroster perfor-
mance, make sure the engine cooling system is func-
tioning properly and the proper amount, type, and con-
centration of coolant is used. Use of the Air
Recirculation mode during Winter months is not recom-
mended, because it may cause window fogging.

Vacation/Storage

For information on maintaining the Climate Control sys-
tem when the vehicle is being stored for an extended

should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.

•

Do not touch with wet hands.

•

Close the lid when not in use and while driving the
vehicle.

•

If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an elec-
tric shock and failure.

CAUTION!

•

Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle's battery, even when not in
use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle's battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.

•

Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the bat-
tery even more quickly. Only use these intermit-
tently and with greater caution.

•

After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the gen-
erator to recharge the vehicle's battery.

Wireless Charging Pad

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

•

If the phone moves on the pad causing the red light
to illuminate, the phone will have to be picked up
and placed back on the charging pad to resume
charging.

•

Wireless charging is not as fast as when the phone
is connected to a wired charger.

•

The phone’s protective case must be removed when
placed on the wireless charging pad.

•

iPhone® 12 (including iPod®) is equipped with soft-
ware to protect the device from overheating. When
the software is active, the rate of charge is slowed
down to protect the device.

•

Phones must always be placed on the wireless
charging pad within the outline shown on the pad so
that its charging parts connect with the charging
coils of the system. Movement of the phone during
charging may prevent or slow the rate of charge.

•

Having multiple applications open on the phone
while charging will reduce the charging efficiency,
and may even shut down an application that is
actively running (i.e. Apple CarPlay®). This may also
cause the phone to overheat.

•

Wireless chargers may implement certain methods
to prevent the phone from overheating during charg-
ing such as slowing down the rate of charge. In cer-
tain instances, the device may shut down for a brief
period of time (when the device reaches a certain
temperature). If this happens, it does not mean
there is a fault with the wireless charging pad. This
may just be a protective measure to prevent dam-
age to the phone.

The use of multiple wireless functions at the same
time (wireless charging, Apple CarPlay®, Android
Auto™) could cause the device to overheat, resulting
in limitation of the functions or it turning off. In this
case, it is recommended to connect the system
using the USB port.

•

Do not place the key fob or any other type of metal/
magnetized object inside the mobile phone housing
or near the wireless charging pad.

•

With a compatible device placed on the charging
pad, and the ignition is cycled to the OFF position, a
reminder message may appear on the instrument
cluster display to warn the driver.

CAUTION!

The key fob should not be placed on the charging pad
or within 6 inches (15 cm) of it. Doing so can cause
excessive heat buildup and damage to the fob. Plac-
ing the fob in close proximity of the charging pad
blocks the fob from being detected by the vehicle and
prevents the vehicle from starting.

WINDOWS

POWER WINDOW CONTROLS

The power window controls, located on the driver's door
trim panel, operate the window movement for all four
power windows.

There is a single switch on the front passenger door
and rear passenger doors which operates the windows
for only that door.

NOTE:

•

The power window switches remain active for up to
10 minutes after the ignition has been placed in the
OFF position. Opening a vehicle front door will can-
cel this feature.

•

The window controls will operate only when the vehi-
cle’s ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.

•

The power windows may be operated from outside
of the vehicle by using the key fob. For more infor-
mation, see

page 18.

WARNING!

Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, and do
not let children play with power windows. Do not leave
the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children, and do not leave the Keyless
Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in the ON/RUN position. Occu-
pants, particularly unattended children, can become
entrapped by the windows while operating the power
window switches. Such entrapment may result in seri-
ous injury or death.

pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the
ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain
open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur-
rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs
with the rear windows open, open the front and rear
windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the buf-
feting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof
opening to minimize the buffeting or open any window.

The weight and position of cargo and passengers can
change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle han-
dling. To avoid loss of control resulting in personal
injury, follow these guidelines for loading your vehicle:

•

Do not carry loads that exceed the load limits
described on the label attached to the left door or
left door center pillar.

•

Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put
heavier objects as low and as far forward as
possible.

•

Place as much cargo as possible in front of the
rear axle. Too much weight or improperly placed
weight over or behind the rear axle can cause the
vehicle to sway.

•

Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of
the seatback. This could impair visibility or become
a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or
accident.
