2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE key

WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow poi-
sonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. You
and your passengers could be injured by
these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed when
you are operating the vehicle.
Liftgate Flipper GlassThe liftgate flipper glass is also unlocked when
the liftgate is unlocked. To open the flipper
glass, push up on the window switch located
on the liftgate.NOTE:
The liftgate flipper glass will not open if the
liftgate is ajar.
Once the liftgate flipper glass has been
opened, connection to the rear window wiper is
interrupted, preventing activation of the rear
wiper blade while the flipper glass is open.
NOTE:
If a malfunction to the liftgate latch should
occur, an emergency liftgate latch release
can be used to open the liftgate. The emer-
gency liftgate latch release can be accessed
through a snap-in cover located on the lift-
gate trim panel.
WARNING!
Driving with the flipper glass open can allow

button cannot be used to open the liftgate.
To operate the power liftgate manually in the
open direction, pull the liftgate handle once to
initiate a power cycle and then pull the handle
a second time to put liftgate into manual mode.
When the LIFTGATE button on the RKE trans-
mitter is pressed two times, the turn signals will
flash twice to signal that the liftgate is opening
or closing (if Flash Lamps with Lock is enabled
in the EVIC) and the liftgate chime will be
audible. For further information, refer to
Customer-Programmable Features (System
Setup)/Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)inUnderstanding Your Instrument
Panel.
NOTE:
In the event of a power malfunction to the
liftgate, an emergency liftgate latch release
can be used to open the liftgate. The emer-
gency liftgate latch release can be accessed
through a snap-in cover located on the lift-
gate trim panel.WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate
travel path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is
closed and latched before driving away.
NOTE:
• The power liftgate will not operate if the
liftgate flipper glass is open.
• The power liftgate buttons will not oper-
ate if the vehicle is in gear or the vehicle
speed is above 0 mph (0 km/h).
• The power liftgate will not operate in tem-
peratures below 22°F (30°C) or tem-
peratures above 150°F (65°C). Be sure to
remove any buildup of snow or ice from
the liftgate before pressing any of the
power liftgate switches.
• If anything obstructs the power liftgate
while it is closing or opening, the liftgate
will automatically reverse to the closed or
open position, provided it meets suffi-
cient resistance. •
There are also pinch sensors attached to
the side of the liftgate. Light pressure
anywhere along these strips will cause
the liftgate to return to the open position.
• The power liftgate must be in the full open
position for rear liftgate close button on
the left rear trim, near the liftgate opening
to operate. If the liftgate is not fully open,
press the Liftgate button on the Key Fob
to fully open the liftgate, and then press it
again to close.
• If the liftgate handle is pulled while the
power liftgate is closing, the liftgate will
reverse to the full open position.
• If the liftgate handle is pulled while the
power liftgate is opening, the liftgate mo-
tor will disengage to allow manual opera-
tion.
• If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the
system will automatically stop and the
liftgate must be opened or closed manu-
ally.

Inflatable Curtain (SABIC), Supplemental Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB), and front seat
belt pretensioners, as required, depending on
the severity and type of impact.
Advanced Front Air Bags and Supplemental
Driver Side Knee Air Bag are designed to
provide additional protection by supplementing
the seat belts in certain frontal collisions de-
pending on the severity and type of collision.
Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to
reduce the risk of injury in rear, or side colli-
sions.
The Advanced Front Air Bags and Supplemen-
tal Driver Side Knee Air Bag will not deploy in all
frontal collisions, including some that may pro-
duce substantial vehicle damage — for ex-
ample, some pole collisions, truck underrides,
and angle offset collisions. On the other hand,
depending on the type and location of impact,
Advanced Front Air Bags may deploy in
crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but
that produce a severe initial deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all side
collisions. Side air bag deployment will depend
on the severity and type of collision.Because air bag sensors measure vehicle de-
celeration over time, vehicle speed and dam-
age by themselves are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have de-
ployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in
all accidents, and also are needed to help keep
you in position, away from an inflating air bag.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the elec-
tronic parts of the air bag system whenever the
ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN
position. If the key is in the LOCK position, in
the ACC position, or not in the ignition, the air
bag system is not on and the air bags will not
inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power supply
system that may deploy the air bags even if the
battery loses power or it becomes discon-
nected prior to deployment.
Also, the ORC turns on the Air Bag
Warning Light in the instrument
panel for approximately four to
eight seconds for a self-check
when the ignition is first turned to
the ON/RUN position. After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn
off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part
of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning
Light, either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound if the light comes on
again after initial startup.
It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate
the instrument cluster Air Bag Warning Light if a
malfunction is noted that could affect the air
bag system. The diagnostics also record the
nature of the malfunction.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in your
instrument panel could mean you won’t have
the air bags to protect you in a collision. If the
light does not come on as a bulb check when
the ignition is first turned on, stays on after
you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you
drive, have an authorized dealer service the
air bag system immediately.

especially applies to children. The side curtain
air bag is only about 3-1/2 in (9 cm) thick when
it is inflated.
Because air bag sensors estimate deceleration
over time, vehicle speed and damage are not
good indicators of whether or not an air bag
should have deployed.
NOTE:
In a rollover the pretensioners, and/or SAB
and SABIC air bags may deploy on both
sides of the vehicle.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sensors can
aid the ORC in determining appropriate re-
sponse to impact events.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact causing air bag
deployment, if the communication network re-
mains intact, and the power remains intact,
depending on the nature of the event the ORC
will determine whether to have the Enhanced
Accident Response System perform the follow-
ing functions:
•Cut off fuel to the engine. •
Flash hazard lights as long as the battery
has power or until the ignition key is turned
off.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as
long as the battery has power or until the
ignition key is removed.
• Unlock the doors automatically.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to
deflate immediately after deployment.
NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in
all collisions. This does not mean some-
thing is wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which deploys the air
bags, any or all of the following may occur:
• The nylon air bag material may sometimes
cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to
the driver and front passenger as the air
bags deploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or those you
might get sliding along a carpet or gymna-
sium floor. They are not caused by contact
with chemicals. They are not permanent and normally heal quickly. However, if you
haven’t healed significantly within a few
days, or if you have any blistering, see your
doctor immediately.
• As the air bags deflate, you may see some
smoke-like particles. The particles are a nor-
mal by-product of the process that gener-
ates the non-toxic gas used for air bag
inflation. These airborne particles may irri-
tate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you
have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area with
cool water. For nose or throat irritation, move
to fresh air. If the irritation continues, see your
doctor. If these particles settle on your cloth-
ing, follow the garment manufacturer’s in-
structions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have
deployed. If you are involved in another colli-
sion, the air bags will not be in place to protect
you.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the ve-
hicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equip-
ment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
