2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECO mode

30 mph (48 km/h). At 30 mph (48 km/h), the normal ESP
stability function returns but TCS remains off. When the
vehicle speed drops below 25 mph (40 km/h), the ESP
system shuts off. ESP is off at low vehicle speeds in 4WD
low range so that it will not interfere with off-road
driving but ESP function returns to provide the stability
feature at speeds above 30 mph (48 km/h). TheESP/
TCS Indicator Lightwill always be illuminated in 4WD
low range when ESP is off.
Full Off
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use
when ESP stability features could inhibit vehicle maneu-
verability due to trail conditions. This mode is entered by
depressing and holding the“ESP Control Switch”for 5
seconds when the vehicle is stopped and the engine is
running. In this mode, all ESP and TCS stability features
are turned off except for the“limited slip”feature de-
scribed in the TCS section. After 5 seconds, a chime will
sound, and the“ESP OFF”message will appear in theElectronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)”in Sec-
tion 4 of this manual. (See page 187 for more informa-
tion.) To turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the
“ESP Control Switch”. This will restore the normal“Par-
tial Off”mode of operation in 4wd low range.
NOTE:The“ESP OFF”message will display and the
audible chime will sound when the gear selector is
placed into the“P”(Park) position from any position
other than“P”(Park), and then moved out of the“P”
(Park) position. This will occur even if the message was
previously cleared.

WARNING!
With the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle
stability offered by ESP and ERM are unavailable. In
an emergency evasive maneuver, the ESP and ERM
systems will not engage to assist in maintaining
stability. The“Full Off”mode is intended for off-
highway or off-road use only.
ESP/BAS Warning Lamp and ESP/TCS Indicator
Light
The malfunction indicator lamp for the ESP is
combined with the BAS indicator. The yellow
“ESP/BAS Warning Lamp”and the yellow
“ESP/TCS Indicator Light”in the instrument
cluster both come on when the ignition switch is turned
to the“ON”position. They should go out with the engine
running.If the“ESP/BAS Warning Lamp”comes on
continuously with the engine running, a mal-
function has been detected in either the ESP or
the BAS system, or both. If this light remains on
after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been
driven several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48
km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to
have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
•TheESP/TCS Indicator Lightand theESP/BAS
Warning Lampcome on momentarily each time the
ignition switch is turned ON.
•Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESP System
will be ON even if it was turned off previously.
•The ESP Control System will make buzzing or clicking
sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds
will stop when ESP becomes inactive following the
maneuver that caused the ESP activation.

16. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Warning
Light/Brake Assist System (BAS) Warning Light—If
Equipped
The ESP/BAS warning light in the instrument
cluster comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the“ON”position. The light should
go out with the engine running. If the ESP/
BAS warning light comes on continuously with the
engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either
the ESP or the BAS system. If this light stays illuminated,
have the ESP and BAS checked at your authorized dealer
as soon as possible. (See page 131 for more information.)
17. 4WD LOW Mode Indicator Light—If Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in
the 4WD LOW mode. The front and rear drive-
shafts are mechanically locked together forcing
the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same
speed. (See page 262 for more information.)18. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned ON, this
light will turn on for 5 to 8 seconds as a bulb check.
During the bulb check, if the driver’s seat belt is
unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or
when driving, if the driver or front passenger seat belt
remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Warning Light will flash
or remain on continuously. Refer toEnhanced Driver
Seat Belt Reminder System (BeltAlert)in the Occupant
Restraints section for more information.
19. Cruise Indicator Light

reset.
Tire Pressure Display—If Equipped
Shows the current pressure of all 4 road tires.NOTE:Tires heat up during normal driving conditions.
Heat will cause the tire pressure to increase from 2 to 6
psi (14 to 41 kPa) during normal driving conditions. Refer
to“Tire Inflation Pressures”in Section 5 for additional
information.

NOTE:To ensure proper compass calibration, make
sure the compass variance is properly set before manu-
ally calibrating the compass. Refer to Variance Map.
To Put Into a Calibration Mode
Start the engine and leave the transmission in the P (Park)
position. Set the display to“Compass/Temperature.”
Press and hold the C/T button for approximately 5
seconds to change the display to compass variance mode;
holding the button for an additional 5 seconds will flash
the“CAL”symbol indicating compass calibration mode.
When the“CAL”indicator is flashing, complete one or
more 360 degree turns, under 5 mph (8 km/h), in an area
free from large metal objects or power lines. The“CAL”
indicator will turn off and the compass will function
normally.Compass Varianceis the difference between magnetic
north and geographic north. In some areas of the country,
the difference between magnetic and geographic north is
great enough to cause the compass to give false readings.
If this occurs, the compass variance must be set according
to the Compass Variance Map.
