2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE change time

The FUEL SAVER MODE message will display
above the average fuel economy in the EVIC
display. This message will appear whenever
MDS (if equipped) allows the engine to operate
on four cylinders, or if you are driving in a fuel
efficient manner.
This feature allows you to monitor when you are
driving in a fuel efficient manner, and it can be
used to modify driving habits in order to in-
crease fuel economy.
Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be
traveled with the fuel remaining in the tank. Thisestimated distance is determined by a
weighted average of the instantaneous and
average fuel economy, according to the current
fuel tank level. DTE cannot be reset through the
SELECT button.
NOTE:
Significant changes in driving style or ve-
hicle loading will greatly affect the actual
drivable distance of the vehicle, regardless
of the DTE displayed value.
When the DTE value is less than 30 miles
(48 km) estimated driving distance, the DTE
display will change to a “LOW FUEL” message.
This display will continue until the vehicle runs
out of fuel. Adding a significant amount of fuel
to the vehicle will turn off the “LOW FUEL”
message and a new DTE value will display.

NOTE:
If your vehicle has experienced any damage
in the area where the sensor is located, even
if the fascia is not damaged, the sensor may
have become misaligned. Take your vehicle
to an authorized dealer to verify sensor
alignment. Having a sensor that is mis-
aligned will result in the BSM not operating
to specification.
Forward Collision Warning
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) feature
can be can be set to Far, set to Near or turned
Off. The default status of FCW is the Far setting.
This means the system will warn you of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front of you
when you are farther away. This gives you the
most reaction time. To change the setting for
more dynamic driving select the Near setting.
This warns you of a possible collision with the
vehicle in front of you when you are much
closer. This allows for a more dynamic driving
experience. To change FCW status press and
release the SELECT button until a check-mark
appears next to the feature showing the system
has been activated or the check-mark is re-
moved, showing the system has been deacti-
vated.

release the ENGINE START/STOP button.
2. The ignition switch will return to the OFF
position.
3. If the shift lever is not in PARK, the ENGINE
START/STOP button must be held for two sec-
onds and vehicle speed must be above 5 mph
(8 km/h) before the engine will shut off. The
ignition switch position will remain in the ACC
position until the shift lever is in PARK and the
button is pressed twice to the OFF position. If
the shift lever is not in PARK and the ENGINE
START/STOP button is pressed once, the EVIC
(if equipped) will display a “Vehicle Not In Park”
message and the engine will remain running.
Never leave a vehicle out of the PARK position,
or it could roll.

transmission is in PARK, the system will
automatically time out after 30 minutes of
inactivity and the ignition will switch to the
OFF position.
Keyless Enter-N-Go Functions – With
Driver’s Foot OFF the Brake Pedal (In
PARK or NEUTRAL Position)

vehicle and use the accessories follow these
steps.
•
Starting with the ignition switch in the OFF
position:
• Press the ENGINE START/STOP button once
to change the ignition switch to the ACC
position (EVIC displays “IGNITION MODE
ACCESSORY”),
201

•Press the ENGINE START/STOP button a
second time to change the ignition switch to
the RUN position (EVIC displays “IGNITION
MODE RUN”),
• Press the ENGINE START/STOP button a
third time to return the ignition switch to the
OFF position (EVIC displays “IGNITION

Extreme Cold Weather
(Below 20°F or 29°C)
To ensure reliable starting at these tempera-
tures, use of an externally powered electric
engine block heater (available from your autho-
rized dealer) is recommended.
If Engine Fails To Start
WARNING!
• Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result in a flash fire causing serious per-
sonal injury.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
• Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle
to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and once the engine has
started, ignite and damage the converter
and vehicle. If the vehicle has a discharged
battery, booster cables may be used to
obtain a start from a booster battery or the
battery in another vehicle. This type of start
can be dangerous if done improperly. Refer
to “Jump Starting” in “What To Do In Emer-
gencies” for further information.
Clearing a Flooded Engine
(Using ENGINE START/STOP Button)
If the engine fails to start after you have fol-
lowed the “Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold
Weather procedures, it may be flooded. To
clear any excess fuel, press and hold the brake
pedal, push the accelerator pedal all the way to
the floor and hold it, then press and release the
ENGINE START/STOP button once. The starter
motor will engage automatically, run for 10 sec- onds, and then disengage. Once this occurs,
release the accelerator pedal and the brake
pedal, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the
“Normal Starting” procedure.
Clearing A Flooded Engine
(Using Fob With Integrated Key)
If the engine fails to start after you have fol-
lowed the “Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold
Weather” procedures, it may be flooded. To
clear any excess fuel, push the accelerator
pedal all the way to the floor and hold it. Then,
turn the ignition switch to the START position
and release it as soon as the starter engages.
The starter motor will disengage automatically
in 10 seconds. Once this occurs, release the
accelerator pedal, turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then
repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, wait 10 to
15 seconds before trying again.
After StartingThe idle speed is controlled automatically and it
will decrease as the engine warms up.
202

Selec-Terrain™ consists of the following posi-
tions:
•Sport – Dry weather, on-road calibration.
Only available in 4WD High range. Perfor-
mance based tuning that provides a rear
wheel drive feel but with improved handling
and acceleration over a two-wheel drive ve-
hicle. The Electronic Stability Control will set
to allow more driver control of vehicle while
maintaining safe handling controls. The ve-
hicle will lower (if equipped with Air Suspen-
sion) to Aero Mode in High Range. 4WD Low
is not available in SPORT mode, if 4WD Low
is selected the Selec-Terrain™ will automati-
cally switch back to AUTO.
• Snow – Tuning set for additional stability in
inclement weather. Use on and off road on
loose traction surfaces such as snow. When
in Snow mode (depending on certain oper-
ating conditions), the transmission may use
second gear (rather than first gear) during
launches, to minimize wheel slippage. If
equipped with air suspension, the level will
change to Normal Ride Height (NRH) if the transfer case is in high range. The level will
change to Off-Road 1 if the transfer case is in
Low range.
• Auto – Fully automatic full time four-wheel
drive operation can be used on and off road.
Balances traction with seamless steering
feel to provide improved handling and accel-
eration over two-wheel drive vehicles. If
equipped with air suspension, the level will
change to NRH.
• Sand/Mud – Off road calibration for use on
low traction surfaces such as mud, sand, or
wet grass. Driveline is maximized for trac-
tion. Some binding may be felt on less for-
giving surfaces. The electronic brake con-
trols are set to limit traction control
management of throttle and wheel spin. If
equipped with air suspension, the level will
change to Off-Road 1.
• Rock – Off-road calibration only available in
4WD Low range. The vehicle is raised (if
equipped with Air Suspension) for improved
ground clearance. Traction based tuning
with improved steer-ability for use on high
traction off-road surfaces. Activates the Hill Descent Control for steep downhill control.
Use for low speed obstacles such as large
rocks, deep ruts, etc. If equipped with air
suspension, the vehicle level will change to
Off-Road 2. If the Selec-Terrain™ switch is in
ROCK mode, and the transfer case is
switched from 4WD Low to 4WD High, the
Selec-Terrain™ system will return to AUTO.
