2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE change time

Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be trav-
eled with the fuel remaining in the tank. This
estimated distance is determined by a weighted
average of the instantaneous and average fuel
economy, according to the current fuel tank
level. DTE cannot be reset through the SELECT
button.
NOTE:
Significant changes in driving style or ve-
hicle loading will greatly affect the actual
drivable distance of the vehicle, regardless
of the DTE displayed value.
When the DTE value is less than 30 miles
(48 km) estimated driving distance, the DTE
display will change to a “LOW FUEL” message.
This display will continue until the vehicle runs
out of fuel. Adding a significant amount of fuel to
the vehicle will turn off the “LOW FUEL” mes-
sage and a new DTE value will display.Miles Per Gallon (MPG) Or L/100km

phones, or plug and play a variety of standard
video games or audio devices. Please review
this Owner’s Manual to become familiar with its
features and operation.
System OverviewThe rear seat Video Entertainment System
(VES™) consists of:
•Your vehicle may be equipped with a single
LCD overhead console screen system.
• One infrared remote control to allow rear seat
audio and video control function capability of
the VES™. •
Two infrared wireless dual channel head-
phones for rear passenger listening.

Video Entertainment System (VES™)This manual is intended to aid with the opera-
tion of the rear seat Video Entertainment Sys-
tem (VES™).
The Video Entertainment System (VES™) ex-
pands the vehicle’s audio and video capabilities
so that rear passengers can enjoy movies,
music and external audio/video devices such as
video games or MP3 players. The VES™ inte-
grates seamlessly with the vehicle’s radio so the
audio may be heard through the cabin speakers
and/or headphones. The system may be con-
trolled by the radio for front seat occupants or
controlled by the remote control for rear seat
occupants. The VES™ is a dual channel system. The video
screen displays information in a split screen
format. The left side of the screen is referred to
as Channel 1 and the right side of the screen is
referred to as Channel 2. All modes except
video modes (DVD video, Aux video) are dis-
played in a split screen format. When a video
mode is displayed it is displayed on the full
screen. The remote control is designed to con-
trol either channel by the use of the selector
switch located on the right side of the remote
control. The headphones are designed to listen
to either channel by use of the selector switch
located on the right ear cup.
Using the included dual channel wireless head-
phones, the VES™ allows rear passengers to
listen to two different audio sources simultane-
ously. The wireless remote control allows rear
passengers to change stations, tracks, discs
and audio/video modes.

If Engine Fails To Start
WARNING!
•
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could result
in flash fire causing serious personal injury.
•Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle
to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and once the engine
has started, ignite and damage the con-
verter and vehicle.
• If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery
in another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to
“Jump Starting” in “What To Do In Emer-
gencies” for further information.

tion over two-wheel drive vehicles. If
equipped with air suspension, the level will
change to NRH.
•
Sand/Mud–Off road calibration for use on low
traction surfaces such as mud, sand, or wet
grass. Driveline is maximized for traction.
Some binding may be felt on less forgiving
surfaces. The electronic brake controls are set
to limit traction control management of throttle
and wheel spin. If equipped with air suspen-
sion, the level will change to Off-Road 1.
• Rock – Off-road calibration only available in
4WD Low range. The vehicle is raised (if
equipped with Air Suspension) for improved
ground clearance. Traction based tuning with
improved steer-ability for use on high traction
off-road surfaces. Activate the Hill Descent
Control for steep downhill control. Use for low
speed obstacles such as large rocks, deep ruts, etc. If equipped with air suspension, the
vehicle level will change to Off-Road 2. If the
Selec-Terrain™ switch is in ROCK mode,

The system requires that the engine be running
for all changes. When lowering the vehicle all of
the doors, including the liftgate, must be closed.
If a door is opened at any time while the vehicle
is lowering the change will not be completed
until the open door(s) is closed.
The Quadra-Lift™ air suspension system uses
a lifting and lowering pattern which keeps the
headlights from incorrectly shining into oncom-
ing traffic. When raising the vehicle, the rear of
the vehicle will move up first and then the front.
When lowering the vehicle, the front will move
down first and then the rear.
After the engine is turned off, it may be noticed
that the air suspension system operates briefly,
this is normal. The system is correcting the
position of the vehicle to ensure a proper ap-
pearance.
To assist with changing a spare tire, the
Quadra-Lift™ air suspension system has a fea-
ture which allows the automatic leveling to be
disabled. Press and hold both the “Up” and
“Down” buttons simultaneously between 5 and
10 seconds, a message will appear in the EVIC
stating leveling has been disabled immediatelyafter both buttons have been released. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)”
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for
further information. Driving the vehicle over
5 mph (8 km/h) will return the air suspension to
normal operation. Refer to “Jacking and Tire
Changing” in “What To Do In Emergencies” for
further information.
WARNING!
The air suspension system uses a high pres-
sure volume of air to operate the system. To
avoid personal injury or damage to the sys-
tem, see your authorized dealer for service.

An audible chime will be heard whenever a
system error has been detected.
OperationThe indicator lamps 3 through 6 will illuminate to
show the current position of the vehicle. Flash-
ing indicator lamps will show a position which
the system is working to achieve. When raising,
if multiple indicator lamps are flashing on the
“Up” button, the highest flashing indicator lamp
is the position the system is working to achieve.
When lowering, if multiple indicators are flash-
ing on the
"Up"button the lowest solid indicator
lamp is the position the system is working to
achieve.
Pressing the “UP” button once will move the
suspension one position higher from the current
position, assuming all conditions are met (i.e.
engine running, speed below threshold, etc).
The “UP” button can be pressed multiple times,
each press will raise the requested level by one
position up to a maximum position of OR2 or the
highest position allowed based on current con-
ditions (i.e. vehicle speed, etc).
