2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE glove box

A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYSYour vehicle uses a keyless ignition system.
This system consists of a Key Fob with Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a Wireless
Ignition Node (WIN) with integral ignition
switch. You can insert the Key Fob into the
ignition switch with either side up.
Keyless Enter-N-Go Feature
This vehicle is equipped with the Keyless Enter-
N-Go feature, refer to “Starting Procedures” in
“Starting And Operating” for further informa-
tion.
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN)The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates
similar to an ignition switch. It has four operat-
ing positions, three of which are detented and
one spring-loaded. The detented positions are
OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The START position is
a spring-loaded momentary contact position.
When released from the START position, the
switch automatically returns to the detented
ON/RUN position.NOTE:
With the Keyless Enter-N-Go feature, the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
will display the ignition switch position
(OFF/ACC/RUN). Refer to “Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
Key FobThe Key Fob operates the ignition switch. Insert
the square end of the key fob into the ignition
switch located on the instrument panel and
rotate to the desired position. It also contains
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
and an emergency key, which stores in the rear
of the Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the
vehicle on the driver’s side should the battery in
the vehicle or the RKE transmitter go dead. The
emergency key is also for locking the glove
box. You can keep the emergency key with you
when valet parking.
NOTE:
Entering a vehicle using the emergency key
with the theft alarm armed, will result in the
alarm sounding. Insert the Key Fob (even if
the Key Fob battery is dead) into the ignition
switch to disarm theft alarm.
To remove the emergency key, slide the me-
chanical latch at the top of the Key Fob side-
ways with your thumb and then pull the key out
with your other hand.

Tire Inflation PressuresThe proper cold tire inflation pressure for pas-
senger cars is listed on either the face of the
driver’s door or the driver’s side “B” pillar. For
vehicles other than passenger cars, the cold
tire inflation pressures are listed on the driver’s
side “B” pillar, glove box door, or the Certifica-
tion Label.
The tire pressure should be checked and ad-
justed at least once every month. Check more
often if subject to a wide range of outdoor
temperatures, as tire pressures vary with tem-
perature changes.
Inflation pressures specified on the chart are
always “Cold Inflation Pressure.” Cold inflation
pressure is defined as the tire pressure after the
vehicle has been idle for at least three hours, or
driven less than a mile (1.6 km) after a three-
hour period. The cold inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum values molded into
the tire sidewall.
Tire pressures may increase from 2 to 6 psi
(0.14 to 0.41 bar) [14 to 41 kPa] during opera-
tion. DO NOT reduce this normal pressure
buildup.High Speed OperationThe manufacturer advocates driving at safe
speeds within posted speed limits. Where
speed limits or conditions are such that the
vehicle can be driven at high speeds, correct
tire inflation pressure is very important.
Radial-Ply Tires
WARNING!
Combining radial ply tires with other types of
tires on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to
handle poorly. The instability could cause an
accident. Always use radial tires in sets of
four. Never combine them with other types of
tires.
Cuts and punctures in radial tires are repairable
only in the tread area because of sidewall
flexing. Consult your dealer for radial tire re-
pairs.
Limited-Use Spare – If EquippedThe limited-use spare tire is for temporary
emergency use on your vehicle. This tire is
identified by a limited-use spare tire warning label located on the limited-use spare tire and
wheel assembly. This tire may look like the
original equipped tire on the front or rear axle of
your vehicle, but it is not. Installation of this
limited-use spare tire affects vehicle handling.
Since it is not the same tire, replace (or repair)
the original tire and reinstall on the vehicle at
the first opportunity.
WARNING!
The limited-use spare tires are for emergency
use only. Installation of this limited-use spare
tire affects vehicle handling. With this tire, do
not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). Keep
inflated to the cold tire inflation pressure listed
on either your tire placard or limited-use spare
tire and wheel assembly. Replace (or repair)
the original tire at the first opportunity and
reinstall it on your vehicle. Failure to do so
could result in loss of vehicle control.
Tire SpinningWhen stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice condi-
tions, do not spin your vehicle’s wheels above
30 mph (48 km/h).

•Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out
of service (i.e. vacation) for two weeks or
more, run the air conditioning system at idle
for about five minutes in the fresh air and
high blower setting. This will ensure ad-
equate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the
system is started again.

WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at the bulb

headlamps when the headlamp switch is
turned ON. It may cause serious electrical
shock or electrocution if not serviced properly.
See your authorized dealer for service. NOTE:
Numbers refer to commercial bulb types
that can be purchased from your authorized
dealer.
If a bulb needs to be replaced, visit your
authorized dealer or refer to the applicable
Service Manual.
BULB REPLACEMENT
High Intensity Discharge Headlamps
(HID) – If Equipped
The headlamps are a type of high voltage
discharge tube. High voltage can remain in the
circuit even with the headlamp switch off and
the key removed.
Because of this, you should
not attempt to service a headlamp bulb your-
self. If a headlamp bulb fails, take your
vehicle to an authorized dealer for service.
