2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE air condition

In view of the many replacement parts and
accessories from various manufacturers avail-
able on the market, the manufacturer cannot be
certain that the driving safety of your vehicle
will not be impaired by the attachment or instal-
lation of such parts. Even if such parts are
officially-approved (for example, by a general
operating permit for the part or by constructing
the part in an officially approved design), or if
an individual operating permit was issued for
the vehicle after the attachment or installation
of such parts, it cannot be implicitly assumed
that the driving safety of your vehicle is unim-
paired. Therefore, neither experts nor official
agencies are liable. Therefore the manufacturer
only assumes responsibility when parts, which
are expressly authorized or recommended by
the manufacturer, are attached or installed at
an authorized dealer. The same applies when
modifications to the original condition are sub-
sequently made on the manufacturer’s ve-
hicles.Your warranties do not cover any part that the
manufacturer did not supply. Nor do they cover
the cost of any repairs or adjustments that
might be caused or needed because of the
installation or use of non-manufacturer parts,
components, equipment, materials, or addi-
tives. Nor do your warranties cover the costs of
repairing damage or conditions caused by any
changes to your vehicle that do not comply with
the manufacturers specifications.
Original Mopar
parts and accessories and
other products approved by the manufacturer,
including qualified advice, are available at your
authorized dealer.
When it comes to service, remember that your
authorized dealer knows your vehicle best, has
the factory-trained technicians and genuine
Mopar parts, and is interested in your satis-
faction.

3. Remove and replace the battery. When re-
placing the battery, match the + sign on the
battery to the + sign on the inside of the battery
clip, located on the back cover. Avoid touching
the new battery with your fingers. Skin oils may
cause battery deterioration. If you touch a
battery, clean it with rubbing alcohol.
4. To assemble the RKE transmitter case, snap
the two halves together.
General InformationThe RKE transmitter and receivers operate on a
carrier frequency of 433.92 MHz as required by
EEC regulations. These devices must be certi-
fied to conform to specific regulations in each
individual country. Two sets of regulations are
involved: ETS (European Telecommunication
Standard) 300–220, which most countries use,
and German BZT federal regulation 225Z125,which is based on ETC 300–220 but has addi-
tional unique requirements. Other defined re-
quirements are noted in ANNEX VI of COMMIS-
SION DIRECTIVE 95/56/EC. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
•
This device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence.
• This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate from a
normal distance, check for these two condi-
tions:
1. Weak battery in RKE transmitter. The ex-
pected life of the battery is a minimum of three
years.
2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a
radio station tower, airport transmitter, and
some mobile or CB radios.Inserting Emergency Key Into Slot

adjusting the belt to the desired length to
restrain a child seat or secure a large item in
a seat — if equipped
If you will be carrying children too small for
adult-sized seat belts, the seat belts or the
ISOFIX feature also can be used to hold infant
and child restraint systems. Refer to ISOFIX —
Child Seat Anchorage System for more infor-
mation.
NOTE:
The Advanced Front Airbags have a multi-
stage inflator design. This allows the airbag
to have different rates of inflation based on
the severity and type of collision.
Please pay close attention to the information in
this section. It tells you how to use your restraint
system properly, to keep you and your passen-
gers as safe as possible.
WARNING!
In an accident, you and your passengers can
suffer much greater injuries if you are not
properly buckled up. You can strike the interior
of your vehicle or other passengers, or you
can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be
sure you and others in your vehicle are buck-
led up properly.
Buckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and cause an
accident that includes you. This can happen far
away from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives,
and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries
in an accident. Some of the worst injuries
happen when people are thrown from the ve-
hicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejec-
tion and the risk of injury caused by striking the
inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor
vehicle should be belted at all times.Lap/Shoulder BeltsAll seating positions in your vehicle are
equipped with lap/shoulder belts. The belt
webbing retractor is designed to lock during
very sudden stops or accidents. This feature
allows the shoulder part of the belt to move
freely with you under normal conditions. How-
ever, in an accident the belt will lock and
reduce the risk of you striking the inside of the
vehicle or being thrown out.
WARNING!
•Wearing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous.
Seat belts are designed to go around the
large bones of your body. These are the
strongest parts of your body and can take the
forces of an accident the best. Wearing your
belt in the wrong place could make your
injuries in an accident much worse. You
might suffer internal injuries, or you could
even slide out of part of the belt. Follow these
instructions to wear your seat belt safely and
to keep your passengers safe, too.

WARNING!
•An incorrectly anchored tether strap could
lead to increased head motion and possible
injury to the child. Use only the anchor
positions directly behind the child seat to
secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• Do not use the cargo tie downs located on
the load floor. Improper usage of the tether
can lead to a failure of an infant or child
restraint. The child could be badly injured
or killed. Transporting Pets
Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm
your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thrown
about and possibly injured, or injure a passen-
ger during panic braking or in an accident. Pets
should be restrained in the rear seat in pet
harnesses or pet carriers that are secured by
seat belts.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in
your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are
desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration
within the limits of local traffic laws, contributes
to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle accel-
eration in low gear can be detrimental and
should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the
factory is a high-quality energy conserving type
lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent
with anticipated climate conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur. For the
recommended viscosity and quality grades re-
fer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintain-
ing Your Vehicle”. NON-DETERGENT OR
STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST NEVER BE
USED.
A new engine may consume some oil during its
first few thousand miles (kilometers) of opera-
tion. This should be considered a normal part
of the break-in and not interpreted as an indi-
cation of difficulty.
Additional Requirements For Diesel
Engine — If Equipped
During the first 1500 km avoid heavy loads, e.g.
driving at full throttle. Do not exceed 2/3 of the
maximum permissible engine speed for each
gear. Change gear in good time. Do not shift
down a gear manually in order to brake.

Safety Checks You Should Make
Inside the Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking
for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts
must be replaced immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision. Rear seat belt assemblies must
be replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regarding belt or
retractor condition, replace the belt.Airbag Warning Light
The light should come on and remain on for four
to eight seconds as a bulb check when the
ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light is
not lit during starting, see your authorized
dealer. If the light stays on, flickers, or comes
on while driving, have the system checked by
an authorized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the defrost mode
and place the blower control on high speed.
You should be able to feel the air directed
against the windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is inoper-
able.Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit the foot
well of your vehicle. Use only floor mats that
leave the pedal area unobstructed and that are
firmly secured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals or impair
safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can cause
loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of
serious personal injury.
•
Always make sure that floor mats are prop-
erly attached to the floor mat fasteners.
• Never place or install floor mats or other
floor coverings in the vehicle that cannot be
properly secured to prevent them from
moving and interfering with the pedals or
the ability to control the vehicle.
