2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE reset

Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which elimi-
nates the need to manually reset the compass.
When the vehicle is new, the compass may
appear erratic and the EVIC will display CAL
until the compass is calibrated. You may also
calibrate the compass by completing one or
more 360–degree turns (in an area free from
large metal or metallic objects) until the CAL
indicator displayed in the EVIC turns off. The
compass will now function normally.NOTE:
A good calibration requires a level surface
and an environment free from large metallic
objects such as buildings, bridges, under-
ground cables, railroad tracks, etc.
Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between
Magnetic North and Geographic North. To
compensate for the differences the variance
should be set for the zone where the vehicle is
driven, per the zone map. Once properly set,
the compass will automatically compensate forthe differences, and provide the most accurate
compass heading. For the most accurate com-
pass performance, the compass must be set
using the following steps.
NOTE:
Keep magnetic materials away from the top
of the instrument panel, such as iPod’s,
Mobile Phones, Laptops and Radar Detec-
tors. This is where the compass module is
located, and it can cause interference with
the compass sensor, and it may give false
readings.

Shared ModesThe VES™ and radio are capable of communi-
cating with each other. This allows the VES™ to
output radio audio to the headphones and the
radio to output VES™ audio to the vehicle
speakers. When the radio and VES™ are in the
same (shared) mode, a VES™ icon will be
visible on the radio’s display and the shared
icon will be visible on the VES™ screen. When
in shared mode, the same audio source is
heard in the headphones and vehicle speakers
simultaneously.
If the radio functions (FM, AM, or SAT) are in the
shared mode with the VES™, only the radio is
able to control the radio functions. In this case,
VES™ can share the radio mode, but not
change stations until the radio mode is
changed to a mode that is different from the
VES™ selected radio mode. When shared, the
radio has priority over the VES™ or all radio
modes (FM, AM, and SAT). The VES™ has the
ability to switch tuner (AM/FM/MW/LW), SEEK,
TUNE, and recall presets in radio modes as
long as it is not in shared mode.When in shared disc or satellite video mode
both the radio and the VES™ have control of
the video functions. The VES™ has the ability to
control the following video modes:
1. CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Rewind, and
Track Up/Down.
2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to Disk Up/
Down and program all listed CD controls (Fast
Forward, Rewind, and Track Up/Down).
The VES™ can even control radio modes or
video modes while the radio is turned off. The
VES™ can access the radio modes or disc
modes by navigating to those modes on the
VES™ and activating a radio mode or disc
mode.Information Mode Display
When information mode is active, the current
mode setting for both audio channels is dis-
played. In addition to the items called out by
number, the remaining information displays the
current status of the source (such as station
frequency, name, preset or track number, song
title, artist name, album name, etc.).
1. Channel 1 Mode – Displays the current
source for Channel 1.

Display Settings
When watching a video source (DVD Video with
the disc in Play mode, Aux Video, etc.), press-
ing the remote control’s SETUP button activates
the Display Settings menu. These settings con-
trol the appearance of the video on the screen.
The factory default settings are already set for
optimum viewing, so there is no need to
change these settings under normal circum-
stances.
To change the settings, press the remote con-
trol’s navigation buttons (,) to select an
item, then press the remote control’s navigation
buttons (, ) to change the value for the
currently selected item. To reset all values back to the original settings, select the Default Set-
tings menu option and press the remote con-
trol’s ENTER button.
Disc Features control the remote DVD player’s
(if equipped) settings of DVD being watched in
the remote player.
Listening To Audio With The Screen
Closed
To listen to only audio portion of the channel
with the screen closed:
•
Set the audio to the desired source and
channel.
• Close the video screen.
• To change the current audio mode, press the
remote control’s MODE button. This will au-
tomatically select the next available audio
mode without using the Mode Select menu.
• When the screen is reopened, the video
screen will automatically turn back on and
show the appropriate display menu or me-
dia.
If the screen is closed and there is no audio
heard, verify that the headphones are turned on (the ON indicator is illuminated) and the head-
phone selector switch is on the desired channel.
If the headphones are turned on, press the
remote control’s power button to turn audio on. If
audio is still not heard, check that fully charged
batteries are installed in the headphones.
Why Does The Screen Mode Change
Automatically?
In order to make the operation of the VES™
simple and with the least amount of driver
distraction, specific events will cause the
screen(s) to automatically switch to DVD mode.
These events are:
•
Loading a disc in the DVD player (if so
equipped),
• Pressing the PLAY button on the DVD player
faceplate when the disc is stopped or
paused, or
• AM/FM band selection via Radio.
If your vehicle is not equipped with the sepa-
rate DVD player, the following events in the
Radio will cause the screen(s) to automatically
switch to Radio Disc mode.
• Loading a disc in the radio CD/DVD player

Pressing the center button will make the radio
switch between the various modes available
(AM/FM/SAT/CD/HDD/AUX/VES, etc.).
The left-hand control is a rocker-type switch
with a pushbutton in the center. The function of
the left-hand control is different depending on
which mode you are in.
The following describes the left-hand control
operation in each mode.
Radio OperationPressing the top of the switch will “Seek” up for
the next listenable station and pressing the
bottom of the switch will “Seek” down for the
next listenable station.
The button located in the center of the left-hand
control will tune to the next preset station that
you have programmed in the radio preset
pushbutton.
CD PlayerPressing the top of the switch once will go to
the next track on the CD. Pressing the bottom of
the switch once will go to the beginning of the
current track, or to the beginning of the previ-ous track if it is within one second after the
current track begins to play.
If you press the switch up or down twice, it
plays the second track; three times, it will play
the third, etc.
The center button on the left side rocker switch
has no function for a single-disc CD player.
However, when a multiple-disc CD player is
equipped on the vehicle, the center button will
select the next available CD in the player.
CD/DVD DISC MAINTENANCETo keep a CD/DVD in good condition, take the
following precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid touching
the surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the surface with
a soft cloth, wiping from center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper or tape to the disc; avoid
scratching the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as benzene, thin-
ner, cleaners, or anti-static sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after playing.6. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.
7. Do not store the disc where temperatures
may become too high.
NOTE:
If you experience difficulty in playing a par-
ticular disc, it may be damaged (i.e.,
scratched, reflective coating removed, a
hair, moisture or dew on the disc) oversized,
or have protection encoding. Try a known
good disc before considering disc player
service.RADIO OPERATION AND MOBILE
PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile phone
being on in your vehicle can cause erratic or
noisy performance from your radio. This condi-
tion may be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This condition is
not harmful to the radio. If your radio perfor-
mance does not satisfactorily “clear” by the
repositioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be turned down
or off during mobile phone operation when not
using Uconnect™ (if equipped).
