2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ESP

You can use your Uconnect™ Phone to access
a voice mail system or an automated service,
such as a paging service or automated cus-
tomer service. Some services require immedi-
ate response selection. In some instances, that
may be too quick for use of the Uconnect™
Phone.
When calling a number with your Uconnect™
Phone that normally requires you to enter in a
touch-tone sequence on your mobile phone
keypad, you can press the
button and
say the sequence you wish to enter followed by
the word “Send”. For example, if required to
enter your PIN followed with a hash, (3746#),
you can press the
button and say, “3 7 4
6 # Send”. Saying a number, or sequence of
numbers, followed by “Send”, is also to be
used for navigating through an automated cus-
tomer service center menu structure, and to
leave a number on a pager.
You can also send stored Uconnect™ Phone-
book entries as tones for fast and easy access
to voice mail and pager entries. To use this
feature, dial the number you wish to call and
then press the
button and say “Send.”
The system will prompt you to enter the name or number and say the name of the phonebook
entry you wish to send. The Uconnect™ Phone
will then send the corresponding phone num-
ber associated with the phonebook entry, as
tones over the phone.
NOTE:
•
You may not hear all of the tones due to
mobile phone network configurations;
this is normal.
• Some paging and voice mail systems
have system time out settings that are too
short and may not allow the use of this
feature.
Barge In — Overriding Prompts
The “Voice Command” button can be used
when you wish to skip part of a prompt and
issue your voice command immediately. For
example, if a prompt is asking “Would you like
to pair a phone, clear a,” you could press the
button and say, “Pair a Phone” to select
that option without having to listen to the rest of
the voice prompt.
Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the
system from confirming your choices (e.g., the Uconnect™ Phone will not repeat a phone
number before you dial it).
•
Press the
button to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say:
“Setup Confirmations Prompts On”
“Setup Confirmations Prompts Off”
Phone And Network Status Indicators
If available on the radio and/or on a premium
display such as the instrument panel cluster,
and supported by your mobile phone, the
Uconnect™ Phone will provide notification to
inform you of your phone and network status
when you are attempting to make a phone call
using Uconnect™ Phone. The status is given
for network signal strength, phone battery
strength, etc.
Dialing Using The Mobile Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your mobile
phone keypad and still use the Uconnect™
Phone (while dialing via the mobile phone
keypad, the user must exercise caution and
take precautionary safety measures). By dial-
ing a number with your paired Bluetooth mo-

Front Passenger Seat Fold-Flat
Feature — If Equipped
To fold the seatback to the flat load-floor posi-
tion, lift the recline lever and push the seatback
forward. To return to the seating position, raise
the seatback and lock it into place.
Heated Seats — If EquippedOn some models, the front and rear seats may
be equipped with heaters in both the seat
cushions and seatbacks.
WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical condition must exercise care when
using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that
insulates against heat, such as a blanket or
cushion. This may cause the seat heater to
overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been
overheated could cause serious burns due
to the increased surface temperature of the
seat.
Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start,
the driver’s heated seat can be programmed to
come on during a remote start. Refer to “Re-
mote Starting System — If Equipped” in
“Things to Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”
for further information. Front Heated Seats
There are two heated seat switches that allow
the driver and passenger to operate the seats
independently. The controls for each heater are
located near the bottom center of the instru-
ment panel (below the climate controls).
You can choose from HIGH, LOW or OFF heat
settings. Amber indicator lights in each switch
indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator
lights will illuminate for HIGH, one for LOW and
none for OFF.
Press the switch once to select
HIGH-level heating. Press the
switch a second time to select
LOW-level heating. Press the
switch a third time to shut the heat-
ing elements OFF.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be
felt within two to five minutes.
When the HIGH-level setting is selected, the
heater will provide a boosted heat level during
the first four minutes of operation. Then, the
heat output will drop to the normal HIGH-level.
If the HIGH-level setting is selected, the system

Windshield Washer OperationTo use the washer, push on the end of the lever
(toward the steering wheel) and hold while
spray is desired. If the lever is pushed while in
the intermittent setting, the wipers will turn on
and operate for several wipe cycles after the
end of the lever is released, and then resume
the intermittent interval previously selected.
If the end of the lever is pushed while the
wipers are in the off position, the wipers will
operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the wind-
shield could lead to a collision. You might not
see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid
sudden icing of the windshield during freezing
weather, warm the windshield with the de-
froster before and during windshield washer
use.
MistUse the Mist feature when weather conditions
make occasional usage of the wipers neces-
sary. Rotate the end of the lever downward to
the Mist position and release for a single wiping
cycle.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the
washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will
be sprayed on the windshield. The wash
function must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.Rain Sensing Wipers — If EquippedThis feature senses moisture on the windshield
and automatically activates the wipers for the
driver. The feature is especially useful for road
splash or overspray from the windshield wash-
ers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of the
multifunction lever to one of four settings to
activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted
with the multifunction lever. Wiper delay posi-
tion 1 is the least sensitive, and wiper delay
position 4 is the most sensitive. Setting 3 should
be used for normal rain conditions. Settings 1
and 2 can be used if the driver desires less

the heated steering wheel 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.
WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other
physical conditions must exercise care
when using the steering wheel heater. It
may cause burns even at low tempera-
tures, especially if used for long periods.
• Do not place anything on the steering
wheel that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or steering wheel covers of any
type and material. This may cause the
steering wheel heater to overheat.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLWhen engaged, the Electronic Speed Control
takes over accelerator operations at speeds
greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).
The Electronic Speed Control buttons are lo-
cated on the right side of the steering wheel. 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.

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 an accident. 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.
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
and death or serious personal injury.
• The ACC system:
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., 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)11 7

The maximum braking applied by ACC is lim-
ited; however, the driver can always apply the
brakes manually, if necessary.
NOTE:
The brake lights will illuminate whenever the
ACC system applies the brakes.
A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC
predicts that its maximum braking level is not
sufficient to maintain the set distance. If this
occurs, a visual alert “BRAKE” will flash in the
EVIC and a chime will sound while ACC con-
tinues to apply its maximum braking capacity.
When this occurs, you should immediately ap-
ply the brakes as needed to maintain a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) MenuThe EVIC displays the current ACC system
settings. The EVIC is located in the upper part
of the instrument cluster between the speed-
ometer and the tachometer. The information it
displays depends on ACC system status.Menu Button
Press the MENU button (located
on the steering wheel) repeatedly
until one of the following displays
in the EVIC:
Adaptive Cruise Control Off When ACC is deactivated, the display willread “Adaptive Cruise Control Off.”
Adaptive Cruise Control Ready When ACC is activated but the vehiclespeed setting has not been selected, the
display will read “Adaptive Cruise Control
Ready.”
ACC SET When ACC is set, the set speed willdisplay.
Brake Alert
123

ACC may occasionally provide braking and/or
a driver alert that you consider unnecessary.
This may be the systems response to signs,
guardrails, and other stationary objects in a
curve. This may also occur at the base of steep
hills. This is normal operation and your vehicle
does not require service.Using ACC On Hills
When driving on hills, ACC may not detect a
vehicle in your lane. Depending on the speed,
vehicle load, traffic conditions, and the steep-
ness of the hills, ACC performance may be
limited.
Lane Changing
ACC will not detect a vehicle until it is com-
pletely in the lane in which you are traveling. In
the illustration shown, ACC has not yet de-
tected the vehicle changing lanes and it may
not detect the vehicle until it’s too late for the
ACC system to take action. ACC will not detect
a vehicle until it is completely in the lane. There
will not be sufficient distance to the lane-
changing vehicle. Always be attentive and
ready to apply the brakes if necessary.
