2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE remote start

Ventilated Seats — If EquippedOn some models, both the driver and passen-
ger seats are ventilated. Located in the seat
cushion and seatback are small fans that draw
the air from the passenger compartment and
blow air through fine perforations in the seat
cover to help keep the driver and front passen-
ger cooler in higher ambient temperatures.
There are two ventilated seat switches that
allow the driver and passenger to operate the
seats independently. The ventilated seat
switches are located on the switch bank in the
center stack of the instrument panel, just below
the climate controls.The ventilated seat
switches are used to
control the speed of the
fans located in the seat.
Press the switch once
to choose HIGH, press
it a second time to
choose LOW. Pressing
the switch a third time
will turn the ventilated
seat OFF. When HIGH speed is selected both lights on the switch will be illuminated. When
LOW speed is selected one light will be illumi-
nated.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the venti-
lated seats to operate.
Vehicles Equipped with Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start,
the driver’s ventilated seat can be programmed
to come on during a remote start. Refer to
“Remote Starting System — If Equipped” in
“Things to Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”
for further information.
Head RestraintsHead restraints are designed to reduce the risk
of injury by restricting head movement in the
event of a rear-impact. Head restraints should
be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint
is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be
properly adjusted prior to operating the ve-
hicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints
should never be adjusted while the vehicle is
in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head
restraints improperly adjusted or removed
could cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.
Active Head Restraints — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable
components, and vehicles with this equipment
cannot be readily identified by any markings,
only through visual inspection of the head re-
straint. The head restraint will be split in two
halves, with the front half being soft foam and
trim, the back half being decorative plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the
front half of the head restraint extends forward
to minimize the gap between the back of the
occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is
designed to help prevent or reduce the extent
of injuries to the driver and front passenger in
certain types of rear impacts. Refer to “Occu-

JUMP-STARTINGIf your vehicle has a discharged battery it can
be jump-started using a set of jumper cables
and a battery in another vehicle or by using a
portable battery booster pack. Jump-starting
can be dangerous if done improperly so please
follow the procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack
follow the manufacturer’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or
any other booster source with a system volt-
age greater than 12 Volts or damage to the
battery, starter motor, alternator or electrical
system may occur.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is
frozen. It could rupture or explode and cause
personal injury.
Preparations for Jump-StartThe battery in your vehicle is located under the
passenger’s front seat. There are remote loca-
tions located under the hood to assist in jump-
starting.

WARNING!
•Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan
whenever the hood is raised. It can start
anytime the ignition switch is on. You can
be injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as watch
bands or bracelets that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact. You could be
seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn
your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen
gas which is flammable and explosive.
Keep open flames or sparks away from the
battery.
1. Set the parking brake, shift the automatic
transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to
LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unneces-
sary electrical accessories.
3. Remove the protective cover over the re-
mote positive (+)battery post. Pull upward on
the cover to remove it. 4. If using another vehicle to jump-start the
battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, set the parking brake and make
sure the ignition is OFF.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as
this could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.
Jump-Starting Procedure
WARNING!
Failure to follow this procedure could result in
personal injury or property damage due to
battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result
in damage to the charging system of the
booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
1. Connect the positive
(+)end of the jumper
cable to the remote positive (+)post of the
discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)
jumper cable to the positive (+)post of the
booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-)of the jumper
cable to the negative (-)post of the booster
battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)
jumper cable to the remote negative (-)post of
the vehicle with the discharged battery.
WARNING!
Do not connect the cable to the negative post
(-) of the discharged battery. The resulting
electrical spark could cause the battery to
explode and could result in personal injury.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the
booster battery, let the engine idle a few min-
utes, and then start the engine in the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
