2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE reset

NOTE:
In order to ensure proper operation, the
Electronic Speed Control System has been
designed to shut down if multiple Speed
Control functions are operated at the same
time. If this occurs, the Electronic Speed
Control System can be reactivated by push-
ing the Electronic Speed Control ON/OFF
button and resetting the desired vehicle set
speed.
To ActivatePush the ON/OFF button. The Cruise Indicator
Light in the instrument cluster will illuminate. To
turn the system off, push the ON/OFF button a
second time. The Cruise Indicator Light will turn
off. The system should be turned off when not in
use.
WARNING!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system
on when not in use is dangerous. You could
accidentally set the system or cause it to go
faster than you want. You could lose control
and have a collision. Always leave the system
OFF when you are not using it.
To Set a Desired SpeedTurn the Electronic Speed Control ON. When
the vehicle has reached the desired speed,
press the SET (-) button and release. Release
the accelerator and the vehicle will operate at
the selected speed.NOTE:
The vehicle should be traveling at a steady
speed and on level ground before pressing
the SET button.
To DeactivateA soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the
CANCEL button, or normal brake pressure
while slowing the vehicle will deactivate Elec-
tronic Speed Control without erasing the set
speed memory. Pressing the ON/OFF button or
turning the ignition switch OFF erases the set
speed memory.
To Resume SpeedTo resume a previously set speed, push the
RES (+) button and release. Resume can be
used at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).
To Vary the Speed SettingWhen the Electronic Speed Control is set, you
can increase speed by pushing the RES (+)
button. If the button is continually pressed, the
set speed will continue to increase until the
button is released, then the new set speed will
be established.
1 — ON/OFF 2 — RES +
4 — CANCEL 3 — SET -
11 7

Pressing the RES (+) button once will result in a
1 mph (2 km/h) increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an
increase of 1 mph (2 km/h).
To decrease speed while the Electronic Speed
Control is set, push the SET (-) button. If the
button is continually held in the SET (-) position,
the set speed will continue to decrease until the
button is released. Release the button when the
desired speed is reached, and the new set
speed will be established.
Pressing the SET (-) button once will result in a
1 mph (2 km/h) decrease in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in a de-
crease of 1 mph (2 km/h).
To Accelerate for PassingPress the accelerator as you would normally.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle will
return to the set speed.Using Electronic Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to
maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE:
The Electronic Speed Control system main-
tains speed up and down hills. A slight
speed change on moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may
occur so it may be preferable to drive without
Electronic Speed Control.
WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous
where the system cannot maintain a constant
speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the
conditions, and you could lose control and
have a collision. Do not use Electronic Speed
Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
(ACC) — IF EQUIPPED
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the
driving convenience provided by cruise control
while traveling on highways and major road-
ways. However, it is not a safety system and not
designed to prevent collisions.
ACC will allow you to keep cruise control en-
gaged in light to moderate traffic conditions
without the constant need to reset your cruise
control. ACC utilizes a radar sensor designed
to detect a vehicle directly ahead of you.
NOTE:
•
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed
set speed.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
ACC will apply limited braking or accel-
eration (not to exceed the original Set
Speed) automatically to maintain a preset
following distance, while matching the
speed of the vehicle ahead.
11 8

WARNING!
•Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve-
nience system. It is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive of
road, traffic, and weather conditions, ve-
hicle 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. Failure to fol-
low these warnings can result in a collision
or serious personal injury.
• The ACC system:
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e., a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a
disabled vehicle).
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be
limited upon adverse sight distance con-
ditions.
(Continued)WARNING!(Continued)
Does not predict the lane curvature or
the movement of preceding vehicles and
will not compensate for such changes.
Does not always fully recognize com-
plex driving conditions, which can result
in wrong or missing distance warnings.
Can only apply a maximum of 25% of
the vehicle’s braking capability, and will
not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
WARNING!
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy
snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway construc-
tion zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off
ramp; when driving on roads that are wind-
ing, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have
steep uphill or downhill slopes; and when
towing a trailer.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
• When circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in a
collision or serious personal injury.
The Cruise Control system has two control
modes:
• Adaptive Cruise Control mode for maintain-
ing an appropriate distance between ve-
hicles.
• Normal (fixed speed) cruise control mode for
cruising at a constant preset speed. For
additional information, refer to “Normal
(Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode” in this
section. Note:The system will not react to
preceding vehicles. Always be aware of the
mode selected.
You can change the mode by using the Cruise
Control buttons. The two control modes func-
tion differently. Always confirm which mode is
selected.

than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized
dealer as soon as possible to have the problem
diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
•The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the
“ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” come on momentarily each time
the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.
• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/
RUN, the ESC system will be ON even if it
was turned off previously.
• The ESC system will make buzzing or
clicking sounds when it is active. This is
normal; the sounds will stop when ESC
becomes inactive following the maneuver
that caused the ESC activation.
5. TOW/HAUL Indicator Light —
If Equipped This light will illuminate when the
TOW/HAUL button has been se-
lected. The TOW/HAUL button is
located in the center of the instru-
ment panel (below the climate
controls). 6. Turn Signal Indicator
The arrows will flash with the exterior turn
signals when the turn signal lever is op-
erated. A tone will chime, and an EVIC
message will appear if the turn signals are left
on for more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
7. High Beam Indicator Indicates that headlights are on high
beam.
8. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped This indicator will illuminate when the
front fog lights are on.
9. Hill Descent Control Indicator Light —
If Equipped The symbol indicates the status of
the Hill Decent Control (HDC) fea-
ture. The lamp will be on solid
when HDC is armed. HDC can
only be armed when the transfer
case is in the “4WD Low” position
and the vehicle speed is less then 30 mph
(48 km/h). If these conditions are not met while
attempting to use the HDC feature, the HDC
indicator lamp will flash on/off. 10. Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) Display/Odometer Display
The odometer display shows the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Regulations require that upon transfer of ve-
hicle ownership, the seller certify to the pur-
chaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has
been driven. If your odometer needs to be
repaired or serviced, the repair technician
should leave the odometer reading the same as
it was before the repair or service. If s/he
cannot do so, then the odometer must be set at
zero, and a sticker must be placed in the door
jamb stating what the mileage was before the
repair or service. It is a good idea for you to
make a record of the odometer reading before
the repair/service, so that you can be sure that
it is properly reset, or that the door jamb sticker
is accurate if the odometer must be reset at
zero.
When the appropriate conditions exist, this
display shows the Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) messages. Refer to “Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center”.
