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

When both lane markings are detected, and the vehicle
approaches (or crosses) the lane marking with no turn
signal applied, and the blind spot zone is not occupied,
the ALM system provides warnings to prompt the driver
to remain within the lane boundaries. These warnings
include a visual warning in the instrument cluster along
with steering assist torque (if configured in Uconnect
Settings).

If the driver crosses the lane marking, the system will
either guide the vehicle back to the center of the lane,
provide a vibration in the steering wheel, or both,
depending on radio settings.

When both lane markings are detected, and the driver
uses the turn signal to indicate a lane change, and a
vehicle is detected in the BSM zone on that side of the
vehicle, the ALM system provides a warning in the form
of steering assist and/or steering vibration (depending
on radio settings) to guide the vehicle back to the cen-
ter of the lane.

NOTE:

•

The system will suppress visual warnings, steering
vibration (if selected in radio settings), and steering
assistance (if selected in radio settings) when the
driver activates the turn signal, the blind spot zone
is clear of vehicles, and a lane change is occurring.

•

If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system detects a
vehicle in the adjacent lane, and the turn signal is
applied in that direction, the BSM LED on the mirror
will flash. If the driver continues to attempt the lane
change, steering wheel torque will be provided to
keep the vehicle within its lane markings.

The driver may manually override the steering assist
warning by applying force to the steering wheel at any
time.

When only a single lane marking is detected and the
driver drifts across the lane marking (no turn signal
applied), the Active Lane Management system provides
a visual warning in the instrument cluster, as well as a
steering assist torque (if configured in Uconnect Set-
tings), to prompt the driver to remain within the lane
boundaries. If the driver continues to drift out of the
lane, the system provides a flashing visual warning
through the instrument cluster display as well as a hap-
tic steering wheel vibration (if configured in Uconnect
Settings) when the vehicle crosses the lane boundary.

NOTE:

When operating conditions have been met, the Active
Lane Management system will monitor if the driver’s
hands are on the steering wheel and provides an
audible and visual warning to the driver if removed. The
system will cancel if the driver does not return their
hands to the wheel.

TURNING ACTIVE LANE
MANAGEMENT ON OR OFF

The Active Lane Management button is
located on the switch panel above the
Uconnect display.

To turn the system on, push the Active Lane

Management button (LED turns off). A message is
shown in the instrument cluster display.

To turn the system off, push the button again (LED
turns on).

NOTE:

The Active Lane Management system will retain the last
system state on or off from the last ignition cycle when
the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.

ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT
WARNING MESSAGE

The Active Lane Management system will indicate the
current lane drift condition through the instrument clus-
ter display.

When the system is on, the lane lines are gray when
both of the lane boundaries have not been detected.

Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected

•

When the system is on and only the left lane mark-
ing has been detected, and the system is ready to
provide visual warnings in the instrument cluster
display and a vibration and/or steering assist
warning in the steering wheel if a lane departure
occurs, the left lane line will be green.

System On (Gray Lines)

STARTING AND OPERATING

145

•

When the system senses the lane line has been
approached (but not crossed), the left lane line will
change to solid yellow and the system will provide a
haptic steering wheel vibration and/or steering
assist torque (if programmed in Uconnect Settings).

•

When the system senses the lane line is being
crossed, the left lane line will change to flashing
yellow.

NOTE:

The Active Lane Management system operates with
similar behavior for a right lane departure when only
the right lane marking has been detected.

Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected

•

When the system is on, the lane lines turn from gray
to green to indicate that both of the lane markings
have been detected. When both lane markings have
been detected, the system is ready to provide visual
warnings in the instrument cluster display and a
vibration and/or steering assist warning in the steer-
ing wheel if a lane departure occurs.

•

When the system senses a lane drift situation, the
left lane line turns solid yellow. At this time, steering
assist warning is applied to the steering wheel in the
opposite direction of the lane boundary.

For example: If approaching the left side of the lane,
the steering wheel will turn to the right.

•

When the system senses the lane line is being
crossed, the left lane line changes from solid yellow
to flashing yellow (on/off). At this time, vibration is
applied to the steering wheel.

For example: If approaching the left side of the lane,
the steering wheel will turn to the right.

NOTE:

•

The Active Lane Management system operates with
similar behavior for a right lane departure.

•

If the turn signal is activated, and the vehicle begins
to depart the lane at the same time the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) system detects another vehicle in
the BSM zones, the system will provide a haptic
steering wheel vibration and/or steering assist
torque (if programmed in Uconnect Settings).

NIGHT VISION CAMERA SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED

Your vehicle may be equipped with a Night Vision Cam-
era system which uses an infrared camera to view the
area ahead of the vehicle, beyond the headlights, to
detect people and large animals when it is dark
outside.

The system detects pedestrians or large animals by
measuring the temperature difference between the
object and the surrounding area.

The thermal objects detected by the camera can be
displayed in the instrument cluster display. Scroll to the
Night Vision page in the instrument cluster display
menu

page 89 to display the Night Vision screen.

Warm objects (e.g. animals) will appear lighter on the
display while cold objects (e.g. traffic signs) will appear
darker.

•

Night Vision only shows objects of interest that are
warmer or colder than the surroundings.

•

Adjust the instrument cluster dimmer control bright-
ness to make the image appear brighter or dimmer.

To exit out of the Night Vision screen, select a different
menu in the instrument cluster display.

A yellow or red border and box highlight will appear
around objects of interest. More than one object of
interest may be highlighted.

The highlighting of the object(s) of interest will update
in real time based upon the current Night Vision
assessment.

The two categories of Night Vision warnings are Pedes-
trian Warnings and Animal Warnings.

Pedestrian Warning Light

Animal Warning Light

A Pedestrian or Animal Warning is considered either
Level 1 or Level 2. Level 1 warnings are yellow, and
Level 2 warnings are red. The colors are not
configurable.

Level 1 Warnings:

•

Yellow telltale in the instrument cluster display

•

Yellow highlights around the detected
pedestrian/animal

•

Occurs when the vehicle is moving at speeds
greater than 8 mph (13 km/h) and the target is in or
approaching the vehicle path

Level 2 Warnings:

•

Red telltale in the instrument cluster display

•

Red highlights around the detected
pedestrian/animal

•

Occurs when the vehicle is moving at speeds
greater than 8 mph (13 km/h) and a collision with
the detected pedestrian/animal is possible

•

The pedestrian/animal is directly in the vehicle
path, close to the headlight area

•

A video pop-up will display when there is a target
detected and the instrument cluster display is not
showing the Night Vision page

•

A chime will sound for a Level 2 Warning detection
event

detected objects, but the Night Vision system does
not automatically brake the vehicle and may not
provide a warning with enough time to help avoid a
crash.

•

Warnings are only provided if a pedestrian or large
animal is detected by the system.

•

It is always the driver’s responsibility to be atten-
tive of road, traffic, and weather conditions,
vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, and
most importantly, brake operation, to ensure safe
operation of the vehicle under all road conditions.
Your complete attention is always required while
driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle.

DETECTION RANGE

The system can detect people 4 ft (1.25 m) tall or
greater in the upright position. The system can also
detect animals that are four-legged and 3 ft (1 m) tall or
greater in the upright position.

The detection distance for the system is between 26 ft
(8 m) and 328 ft (100 m) from the front of the vehicle.

The system may not be able to detect pedestrians or
animals in the following situations:

•

Pedestrian/animal is outside of the detection range

•

Pedestrian/animal is fully or partially covered

•

Pedestrian/animal does not reach the minimum
detection height

NOTE:

Other objects on the road that meet the height/shape/
temperature (e.g. sun exposure) of pedestrians/
animals may be detected and classified as targets.

WARNING!

•

Night Vision can only detect pedestrians and ani-
mals located within the range of the infrared
camera.

•

Night Vision may not detect pedestrians or animals
and highlight them if:

○

They are not in an upright position, for example
if they are sitting or lying down, or if the pedes-
trian is riding a bicycle

○

3. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel nozzle

“clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is full.

4. Wait five seconds before removing the fuel nozzle to

allow fuel to drain from nozzle.

5. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door.

Engage the fuel door latch by pushing on the rear
outer edge near the center.

WARNING!

•

Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the
vehicle when the fuel door is open or the tank is
being filled.

•

Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is
in violation of most state and federal fire regula-
tions and may cause the Malfunction Indicator
Light to turn on.

•

A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable
container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be
burned. Always place fuel containers on the
ground while filling.

CAUTION!

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off”
the fuel tank after filling.

VEHICLE LOADING

GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING
(GVWR)

The GVWR is the total permissible weight of your vehicle
including driver, passengers, vehicle, options and cargo.
The Vehicle Certification Label specifies maximum
capacities of front and rear axle systems (GAWR). Total
load must be limited so GVWR and front and rear GAWR
are not exceeded.

PAYLOAD

The payload of a vehicle is defined as the allowable
load weight a truck can carry, including the weight of
the driver, all passengers and cargo.

GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING
(GAWR)

The GAWR is the maximum permissible load on the front
and rear axles. The load must be distributed in the cargo
area so that the GAWR of each axle is not exceeded.

Each axle GAWR is determined by the components in
the system with the lowest load carrying capacity (axle,
springs, tires or wheels). Heavier axles or suspension
components sometimes specified by purchasers for
increased durability do not necessarily increase the
vehicle's GVWR.

TIRE SIZE

The tire size on the Vehicle Certification Label repre-
sents the actual tire size on your vehicle. Replacement
tires must be equal to the load capacity of this tire size.

RIM SIZE

This is the rim size that is appropriate for the tire size
listed.

INFLATION PRESSURE

This is the cold tire inflation pressure for your vehicle
for all loading conditions up to full GAWR.

CURB WEIGHT

The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total
weight of the vehicle with all fluids, including vehicle
fuel, at full capacity conditions, and with no occupants
or cargo loaded into the vehicle. The front and rear curb
weight values are determined by weighing your vehicle
on a commercial scale before any occupants or cargo
are added.

The actual total weight and the weight of the front and
rear of your vehicle at the ground can best be deter-
mined by weighing it when it is loaded and ready for
operation.

The entire vehicle should first be weighed on a commer-
cial scale to ensure that the GVWR has not been
exceeded. The weight on the front and rear of the
vehicle should then be determined separately to be
sure that the load is properly distributed over the front
and rear axle. Weighing the vehicle may show that the
GAWR of either the front or rear axles has been
exceeded but the total load is within the specified

Fuel Filler

STARTING AND OPERATING

155

GVWR. If so, weight must be shifted from front to rear or
rear to front as appropriate until the specified weight
limitations are met. Store the heavier items down low
and be sure that the weight is distributed equally. Stow
all loose items securely before driving.

Improper weight distributions can have an adverse
effect on the way your vehicle steers and handles and
the way the brakes operate.

WARNING!

Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR
or the maximum front and rear GAWR. If you do, parts
on your vehicle can break, or it can change the way
your vehicle handles. This could cause you to lose
control. Overloading can shorten the life of your
vehicle.

TRAILER TOWING

In this section you will find safety tips and information
on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do
with your vehicle. Before towing a trailer, carefully
review this information to tow your load as efficiently
and safely as possible.

To maintain the New Vehicle Limited Warranty cover-
age, follow the requirements and recommendations in
this manual concerning vehicles used for trailer towing.

COMMON TOWING DEFINITIONS

The following trailer towing related definitions will assist
you in understanding the following information:

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle.
This includes driver, passengers, cargo and tongue
weight. The total load must be limited so that you do
not exceed the GVWR

page 155.

Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)

The GTW is the weight of the trailer plus the weight of
all cargo, consumables and equipment (permanent or
temporary) loaded in or on the trailer in its "loaded and
ready for operation" condition.

The recommended way to measure GTW is to put your
fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale. The entire weight
of the trailer must be supported by the scale.

WARNING!

If the gross trailer weight is 5,000 lb (2,267 kg) or
more, it is recommended to use a weight-distributing
hitch to ensure stable handling of your vehicle. If you
use a standard weight-carrying hitch, you could lose
control of your vehicle and cause a collision.

Gross Combination Weight Rating

(GCWR)

The GCWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle
and trailer when weighed in combination.

Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)

The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the front and
rear axles. Distribute the load over the front and rear
axles evenly. Make sure that you do not exceed either
front or rear GAWR

page 155.

WARNING!

It is important that you do not exceed the maximum
front or rear GAWR. A dangerous driving condition can
result if either rating is exceeded. You could lose con-
trol of the vehicle and have a collision.

Tongue Weight (TW)

The TW is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball
by the trailer. You must consider this as part of the load
on your vehicle.

Trailer Frontal Area

The frontal area is the maximum height multiplied by
the maximum width of the front of a trailer.

Trailer Sway Control (TSC)

The TSC can be a mechanical telescoping link that can
be installed between the hitch receiver and the trailer
tongue that typically provides adjustable friction associ-
ated with the telescoping motion to dampen any
unwanted trailer swaying motions while traveling.

The electronic TSC (if equipped) recognizes a swaying
trailer and automatically applies individual wheel
brakes and/or reduces engine power to attempt to
eliminate the trailer sway.

Weight-Carrying Hitch

A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer tongue
weight, just as if it were luggage located at a hitch ball
or some other connecting point of the vehicle. These
kinds of hitches are used to tow small and medium
sized trailers.

156

STARTING AND OPERATING

Weight-Distributing Hitch

A weight-distributing system works by applying leverage
through spring (load) bars. They are typically used for
heavier loads to distribute trailer tongue weight to the
tow vehicle's front axle and the trailer axle(s). When
used in accordance with the manufacturer's directions,
it provides for a more level ride, offering more consis-
tent steering and brake control thereby enhancing tow-
ing safety. The addition of a friction/hydraulic sway con-
trol also dampens sway caused by traffic and
crosswinds and contributes positively to tow vehicle and
trailer stability. Trailer Sway Control (TSC) and a weight-
distributing (load equalizing) hitch are recommended
for heavier Tongue Weights (TW) and may be required
depending on vehicle and trailer configuration/loading
to comply with Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
requirements.

WARNING!

•

If the gross trailer weight is 5,000 lb (2,267 kg) or
more, it is recommended to use a weight-
distributing hitch to ensure stable handling of your
vehicle. If you use a standard weight-carrying hitch,
you could lose control of your vehicle and cause a
collision.

•

An improperly adjusted weight-distributing hitch
system may reduce handling, stability, braking per-
formance, and could result in a collision.

•

Weight-distributing systems may not be compatible
with surge brake couplers. Consult with your hitch
and trailer manufacturer or a reputable Recre-
ational Vehicle dealer for additional information.

RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION HITCH
ADJUSTMENT

1. Verify that the vehicle is at the Normal Ride Height.

NOTE:

The vehicle must remain in the engine run position
with all doors closed while attaching a trailer for
proper leveling of the air suspension system.

2. Position the vehicle to be ready to connect to the

trailer (do not connect the trailer).

3. For vehicles equipped with Quadra-Lift air suspen-

sion, use the touchscreen radio settings to enable
Tire/Jack mode. Tire/Jack mode will be canceled
and the procedure must be restarted if the vehicle
is driven at speeds above 5mph (8 km/h).

4. Measure the height from the top of the front wheel

opening on the fender to ground; this is height H1.

5. Attach the trailer to the vehicle without the weight

distribution bars connected.

6. Measure the height from the top of the front wheel

opening on the fender to the ground; this is height
H2.

7. Install and adjust the tension in the weight distribut-

ing bars per the manufacturer’s recommendations
so that the height of the front fender is approxi-
mately (H2-H1)/2+H1 (about 1/2 the difference
between H2 and H1 above Normal Ride Height
[H1]).

8. Use the touchscreen radio settings and switch off

Tire/Jack mode. Make sure the truck returns to Nor-
mal Ride Height. Perform a visual inspection of the
trailer and weight-distributing hitch to confirm the
manufacturers’ recommendations have been met.

9. The vehicle can now be driven.

TRAILER HITCH RECEIVER COVER
REMOVAL — IF EQUIPPED

Your vehicle may be equipped with a trailer hitch
receiver cover, this must be removed to access the
trailer hitch receiver. This cover is located at the bottom
center of the rear fascia/bumper.
1. Turn the two locking retainers located at the bottom

of the hitch receiver cover a quarter turn counter-
clockwise and pull bottom of the hitch receiver cover
outward (towards you).

2. Pull the bottom of the cover outward (towards you)

then downwards to disengage the tabs located at
the top of the hitch receiver cover to remove.

To reinstall the cover after towing repeat the procedure
in reverse order.

NOTE:

Be sure to engage all tabs of the hitch receiver cover in
the fascia/bumper prior to installation.

TRAILER AND TONGUE WEIGHT

Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on
your fascia/bumper or trailer hitch.

WARNING!

Always load a trailer with 60% of the weight in the
front of the trailer. This places 10% of the GTW on the
tow hitch of your vehicle. Loads balanced over the
wheels or heavier in the rear can cause the trailer to
sway severely side to side which will cause loss of
control of the vehicle and trailer. Failure to load trail-
ers heavier in front is the cause of many trailer
collisions.

Consider the following items when computing the
weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:

•

The tongue weight of the trailer.

•

The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment
put in or on your vehicle.

•

The weight of the driver and all passengers.

NOTE:

Remember that everything put into or on the trailer
adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional
factory-installed options or dealer-installed options
must be considered as part of the total load on your
vehicle. Refer to the Tire And Loading Information Plac-
ard for the maximum combined weight of occupants
and cargo for your vehicle.

TOWING REQUIREMENTS

To promote proper break-in of the new vehicle drivetrain
components, the following guidelines are
recommended.

CAUTION!

•

Do not tow a trailer at all during the first 500 miles
(805 km) the new vehicle is driven. The engine,
axle or other parts could be damaged.

•

Then, during the first 500 miles (805 km) that a
trailer is towed, do not drive over 50 mph
(80 km/h) and do not make starts at full throttle.
This helps the engine and other parts of the
vehicle wear in at the heavier loads.

Perform the maintenance listed in the Scheduled Ser-
vicing

page 270. When towing a trailer, never

exceed the GAWR or GCWR ratings.

STARTING AND OPERATING

WARNING!

Improper towing can lead to a collision. Follow these
guidelines to make your trailer towing as safe as pos-
sible:

•

Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer
and will not shift during travel. When trailering
cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts
can occur that may be difficult for the driver to con-
trol. You could lose control of your vehicle and have
a collision.

•

When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not over-
load your vehicle or trailer. Overloading can cause
a loss of control, poor performance or damage to
brakes, axle, engine, transmission, steering, sus-
pension, chassis structure or tires.

•

Safety chains must always be used between your
vehicle and trailer. Always connect the chains to
the hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cross the
chains under the trailer tongue and allow enough
slack for turning corners.

•

Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a
grade. When parking, apply the parking brake on
the tow vehicle. Put the tow vehicle transmission in
PARK (P). For four-wheel drive vehicles, make sure
the transfer case is not in NEUTRAL (N). Always,
block or "chock" the trailer wheels.

•

GCWR must not be exceeded.

•

Total weight must be distributed between the tow
vehicle and the trailer such that the following four
ratings are not exceeded

○

GVWR

○

GTW

○

GAWR

○

Tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized

Towing Requirements — Tires

•

Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a com-
pact spare tire.

•

Do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h) when
towing while using a full size spare tire.

•

Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to the
safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle.

•

Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation pres-
sures before trailer usage.

•

Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire damage
before towing a trailer.

•

Replacing tires with a higher load carrying capacity
will not increase the vehicle's GVWR and GAWR
limits.

•

For further information

page 304.

Towing Requirements — Trailer Brakes

•

not

interconnect the hydraulic brake system or

vacuum system of your vehicle with that of the
trailer. This could cause inadequate braking and
possible personal injury.

•

An electronically actuated trailer brake controller is
required when towing a trailer with electronically
actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped
with a hydraulic surge actuated brake system, an
electronic brake controller is not required.

•

Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over
1,000 lb (453 kg) and required for trailers in excess
of 2,000 lb (907 kg).

WARNING!

•

Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle's
hydraulic brake lines. It can overload your brake
system and cause it to fail. You might not have
brakes when you need them and could have an
accident.

•

Towing any trailer will increase your stopping dis-
tance. When towing, you should allow for addi-
tional space between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you. Failure to do so could result in an
accident.

CAUTION!

If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lb (453 kg)
loaded, it should have its own brakes and they should
be of adequate capacity. Failure to do this could lead
to accelerated brake lining wear, higher brake pedal
effort, and longer stopping distances.

Towing Requirements — Trailer Lights

And Wiring

Whenever pulling a trailer, regardless of the trailer size,
stop lights and turn signals on the trailer are required
for motoring safety.

The Trailer Tow Package may include a four- and seven-
pin wiring harness. Use a factory approved trailer har-
ness and connector.

NOTE:

Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicle’s wiring
harness.

STARTING AND OPERATING

161

The electrical connections are all complete to the
vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer con-
nector. Refer to the following illustrations.

NOTE:

•

Disconnect the trailer wiring connector from the
vehicle (or any other device plugged into vehicle’s
electrical connectors) before launching a boat into
water.

•

Be sure to reconnect once clear from water area.

TOWING TIPS

Before towing, practice turning, stopping, and backing
up the trailer in an area located away from heavy traffic.

Automatic Transmission

Select the DRIVE (D) range when towing. The transmis-
sion controls include a drive strategy to avoid frequent
shifting when towing. However, if frequent shifting does
occur while in DRIVE, you can use the AutoStick shift
control to manually select a lower gear.

NOTE:

Using a lower gear while operating the vehicle under
heavy loading conditions, will improve performance and
extend transmission life by reducing excessive shifting
and heat buildup. This action will also provide better
engine braking.

Cruise Control — If Equipped

•

Do not use on hilly terrain or with heavy loads.

•

When using the Cruise Control, if you experience
speed drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), disen-
gage until you can get back to cruising speed.

•

Use Cruise Control in flat terrain and with light loads
to maximize fuel efficiency.

over the tires using specific straps (not to the body).
Failure to follow these instructions may cause fault
codes to be set and/or cause loss of proper tie-
down tension.

RECREATIONAL TOWING —
TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MODELS

DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the drivetrain
will result.

Recreational towing (for two-wheel drive models) is
allowed ONLY if the rear wheels are OFF the ground.
This may be accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle
trailer. If using a tow dolly, follow this procedure:

1. Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, follow-

ing the dolly manufacturer's instructions.

2. Drive the rear wheels onto the tow dolly.

3. Apply the Electric Park Brake. Shift the transmission

into PARK.

4. Turn the ignition OFF.

5. Properly secure the rear wheels to the dolly, follow-

ing the dolly manufacturer’s instructions.

6. Install a suitable clamping device, designed for tow-

ing, to secure the front wheels in the straight
position.

CAUTION!

Towing with the rear wheels on the ground will cause
severe transmission damage. Damage from improper
towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

not have a N (NEUTRAL) position in the transfer case.

NOTE:

This vehicle may be towed on a flatbed or vehicle trailer
provided all four wheels are

OFF

the ground.

CAUTION!

Towing this vehicle in violation of the previously
stated requirements can cause severe transmission
and/or transfer case damage. Damage from improper
towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

RECREATIONAL TOWING —
QUADRA–TRAC II WITH 4WD LOW
RANGE

The transfer case must be shifted into N (NEUTRAL)
and the transmission must be in PARK (P) for recre-
ational towing. The N (NEUTRAL) selection button is
adjacent to the air suspension switch. Shifts into and
out of transfer case N (NEUTRAL) can take place with
the selector switch in any mode position.

NOTE:

•

Ensure vehicle is set to Normal Ride Height - if
equipped

page 116.

•

If the vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift air sus-
pension, the engine should be started and left run-
ning for a minimum of 60 seconds (with all the
doors closed) at least once every 24 hours. This
process allows the air suspension to adjust the vehi-
cle’s ride height to compensate for temperature
effects.

CAUTION!

•

DO NOT dolly tow any 4WD vehicle. Towing with
only one set of wheels on the ground (front or rear)
will cause severe transmission and/or transfer
case damage. Tow with all four wheels either ON
the ground, or OFF the ground (using a vehicle
trailer).

•

Tow only in a forward direction. Towing this vehicle
backwards can cause severe damage to the trans-
fer case.

•

The transmission must be in PARK for recreational
towing.

•

Before recreational towing, perform the procedure
outlined under “Shifting into N (NEUTRAL)” to be
certain that the transfer case is fully in N (NEU-
TRAL). Otherwise, internal damage will result.

•

Towing this vehicle in violation of the previously
stated requirements can cause severe transmis-
sion and/or transfer case damage. Damage from
improper towing is not covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.

(Continued)

CAUTION!

•

Do not use a bumper-mounted clamp-on tow bar
on your vehicle. The bumper face bar will be
damaged.

Shifting Into Transfer Case N (NEUTRAL)

WARNING!

You or others could be injured or killed if you leave
the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the N
(NEUTRAL) position without first fully engaging the
Electric Park Brake. The transfer case N (NEUTRAL)
position disengages both the front and rear drive-
shafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle
to roll, even if the transmission is in PARK. The Elec-
tric Park Brake should always be applied when the
driver is not in the vehicle.

CAUTION!

It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that
the transfer case is fully in N (NEUTRAL) before recre-
ational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.

164

STARTING AND OPERATING

Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for
recreational towing:

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop on level ground,

with the engine running.

2. Press and hold the brake pedal.

3. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.

4. If vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift air suspen-

sion, ensure the vehicle is set to Normal Ride Height
with the Auto Entry/Exit setting deselected.

NOTE:

○

Steps 1 through 4 are requirements that must be
met before pushing the N (NEUTRAL) button, and
must continue to be met until the shift has been
completed. If any of these requirements are not
met before pushing the N (NEUTRAL) button or
are no longer met during the shift, then the N
(NEUTRAL) indicator light will flash continuously
until all requirements are met or until the N
(NEUTRAL) button is released.

○

The ignition must be in the ON/RUN position for
a shift to take place and for the position indicator
lights to be operable. If the ignition is not in the
ON/RUN position, the shift will not take place
and no position indicator lights will be on or
flashing.

○

A flashing N (NEUTRAL) position indicator light
indicates that shift requirements have not been
met.

○

If the vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift air
suspension, the engine should be started and
left running for a minimum of 60 seconds (with
all the doors closed) at least once every
24 hours. This process allows the air suspension
to adjust the vehicle’s ride height to compensate
for temperature effects.

○

Engaging/disengaging of the Electric Park Brake
requires the ignition to be in the ON/RUN position.

○

If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, a “4WD
Shift Canceled” or a “4WD Shift Aborted/ Retry

DRIVING TIPS

ON-ROAD DRIVING TIPS

Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a nar-
rower track to make them capable of performing in a
wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design
characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than
conventional passenger cars.

An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better
view of the road, allowing you to anticipate problems.
They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds
as conventional passenger cars any more than low-
slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily
in off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt
maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of con-
trol or vehicle rollover.

STARTING AND OPERATING

OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS

Quadra-Lift — If Equipped

When off-roading, it is recommended that the lowest
useable vehicle height that will clear the current
obstacle or terrain be selected. The vehicle height
should then be raised as required by the changes in
terrain.

The Selec-Terrain switch will automatically change the
vehicle to the optimized height based on the Selec-
Terrain switch position. The vehicle height can be
changed from the default height for each Selec-Terrain
mode by normal use of the air suspension switches

page 112.

When To Use 4WD LOW Range —

If Equipped

When off-road driving, shift to 4WD LOW for additional
traction. This range should be limited to extreme situa-
tions such as deep snow, mud, or sand where addi-
tional low speed pulling power is needed. Vehicle
speeds in excess of 25 mph (40 km/h) should be
avoided when in 4WD LOW range.

WARNING!

Do not drive in 4WD LOW range on dry pavement;
driveline damage may result. 4WD LOW range locks
front and rear drivelines together and does not allow
for differential action between the front to rear drive-
shafts. Driving in 4WD LOW on pavement will cause
driveline binding; use only on wet or slippery
surfaces.

Driving Through Water

Although your vehicle is capable of driving through
water, there are a number of precautions that must be
considered before entering the water.

NOTE:

Your vehicle is capable of water fording in up to
24 inches (61 cm) with air suspension or 21 inches
(53 cm) without air suspension, of water while crossing
small rivers or streams. To maintain optimal perfor-
mance of your vehicle's heating and ventilation system
it is recommended to switch the system into recircula-
tion mode during water fording. Be sure to avoid lower-
ing the vehicle in water, ensure that the easy exit entry
setting is turned off in Uconnect settings.

CAUTION!

When driving through water, do not exceed 5 mph
(8 km/h). Always check water depth before entering
as a precaution, and check all fluids afterward. Driv-
ing through water may cause damage that may not be
covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Driving through water more than a few inches/
centimeters deep will require extra caution to ensure
safety and prevent damage to your vehicle. If you must
drive through water, try to determine the depth and the
bottom condition (and location of any obstacles) prior to
entering. Proceed with caution and maintain a steady
controlled speed less than 5 mph (8 km/h) in deep
water to minimize wave effects.

Flowing Water

If the water is swift flowing and rising (as in storm run-
off), avoid crossing until the water level recedes and/or
the flow rate is reduced. If you must cross flowing water
avoid depths in excess of 9 inches (23 cm). The flowing
water can erode the streambed, causing your vehicle to
sink into deeper water. Determine exit point(s) that are
downstream of your entry point to allow for drifting.

Standing Water

Avoid driving in standing water deeper than 24 inches
(61 cm) with air suspension or 21 inches (53 cm) with-
out air suspension, and reduce speed appropriately to
minimize wave effects. Maximum speed is 5 mph
(8 km/h).

Maintenance

After driving through deep water, inspect your vehicle
fluids and lubricants (engine oil, transmission oil, axle,
transfer case) to ensure the fluids have not been con-
taminated. Contaminated fluid (milky, foamy in appear-
ance) should be flushed/changed as soon as possible
to prevent component damage.

Driving In Snow, Mud And Sand

In heavy snow, when pulling a load, or for additional
control at slower speeds, shift the transmission to a low
gear and shift the transfer case to 4WD LOW if neces-
sary

page 112. Only shift into a lower gear to main-

tain forward motion. Over-revving the engine can spin
the wheels and traction will be lost.

Avoid abrupt downshifts on icy or slippery roads,
because engine braking may cause skidding and loss of
control.

STARTING AND OPERATING

167

Hill Climbing

NOTE:

Before attempting to climb a hill, determine the condi-
tions at the crest and/or on the other side.

Before climbing a steep hill, shift the transmission to a
lower gear and shift the transfer case to 4WD LOW. Use
FIRST gear and 4WD LOW for very steep hills.

If you stall or begin to lose forward motion while climb-
ing a steep hill, allow your vehicle to come to a stop and
immediately apply the brakes. Restart the engine, and
shift into REVERSE (R). Back slowly down the hill, allow-
ing the compression braking of the engine to help regu-
late your speed. If the brakes are required to control
vehicle speed, apply them lightly and avoid locking or
skidding the tires.

WARNING!

If the engine stalls, you lose forward motion, or can-
not make it to the top of a steep hill or grade, never
attempt to turn around. To do so may result in tipping
and rolling the vehicle. Always back carefully straight
down a hill in REVERSE gear. Never back down a hill
in NEUTRAL using only the brake.

Remember, never drive diagonally across a hill. Always
drive straight up or down.

If the wheels start to slip as you approach the crest of a
hill, ease off the accelerator and maintain forward
motion by turning the front wheels slowly. This may pro-
vide a fresh “bite” into the surface and will usually pro-
vide traction to complete the climb.

Traction Downhill

When descending mountains or hills, use Hill Descent
Control or Selec-Speed Control to avoid repeated heavy
braking.

If not equipped with Hill Descent Control or Selec-Speed
Control use the following procedure:

Shift the transmission into a low gear, and the transfer
case into 4WD LOW range. Let the vehicle go slowly
down the hill with all four wheels turning against engine
compression drag. This will permit you to control the
vehicle speed and direction.

When descending mountains or hills, repeated braking
can cause brake fade with loss of braking control. Avoid
repeated heavy braking by downshifting the transmis-
sion whenever possible.

After Driving Off-Road

Off-road operation puts more stress on your vehicle
than does most on-road driving. After going off-road, it
is always a good idea to check for damage. That way
you can get any problems taken care of right away and
have your vehicle ready when you need it.

•

Completely inspect the underbody of your vehicle.
Check tires, body structure, steering, suspension,
and exhaust system for damage.

•

Inspect the radiator for mud and debris and clean
as required.

•

Check threaded fasteners for looseness, particularly
on the chassis, drivetrain components, steering, and
suspension. Retighten them, if required, and torque
to the values specified in the Service Manual.

•

Check for accumulations of plants or brush. These
things could be a fire hazard. They might hide dam-
age to fuel lines, brake hoses, axle pinion seals, and
propeller shafts.

•

After extended operation in mud, sand, water, or
similar dirty conditions, have the radiator, fan, brake
rotors, wheels, brake linings, and axle yokes
inspected and cleaned as soon as possible.

WARNING!

Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause
excessive wear or unpredictable braking. You might
not have full braking power when you need it to pre-
vent a collision. If you have been operating your
vehicle in dirty conditions, get your brakes checked
and cleaned as necessary.

•

If you experience unusual vibration after driving in
mud, slush or similar conditions, check the wheels
for impacted material. Impacted material can cause
a wheel imbalance and freeing the wheels of it will
correct the situation.
