2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE hood release

•When you remove the Key Fob from the
ignition (or change the ignition to OFF, for
vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go),
the driver seat will move to a position 0.3 in
(7.7 mm) forward of the rear stop if the driver
seat position is between 0.9 in and 2.7 in
(22.7 mm and 67.7 mm) forward of the rear
stop. The seat will return to its previously set
position when you place the ignition to the
ACC or RUN position.
• The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature is disabled
when the driver seat position is less than
0.9 in (22.7 mm) forward of the rear stop. At
this position, there is no benefit to the driver
by moving the seat for Easy Exit or Easy
Entry.
Each stored memory setting will have an asso-
ciated Easy Entry and Easy Exit position.
NOTE:
The Easy Entry/Exit feature is not enabled
when the vehicle is delivered from the factory.
The Easy Entry/Exit feature is enabled (or later
disabled) through the programmable features
in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Informa- tion Center (EVIC)/Customer-Programmable
Features” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.

HOOD
To open the hood, two latches must be re-
leased.
1. Pull the release lever located below the
instrument panel and in front of the driver’s
door.
2. Reach under the hood, move safety latch to
the left and lift the hood.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not slam the
hood to close it. Use a firm downward push
at the center of the hood to ensure that both
latches engage.

out of the housing.
6. Install the A/C air filter with the arrow on the
filter pointing toward the floor. When installing
the filter cover, make sure the retaining tabs
fully engage the cover.

The A/C air filter is identified with an arrow to
indicate airflow direction through the filter.
Failure to properly install the filter will result
in the need to replace it more often.
7. Rotate the glove compartment door back
into position.
Body LubricationLocks and all body pivot points, including such
items as seat tracks, door hinge pivot points
and rollers, liftgate, tailgate, sliding doors and
hood hinges, should be lubricated periodically
with a lithium based grease, such as MOPAR®
Spray White Lube to assure quiet, easy opera-
tion and to protect against rust and wear. Prior
to the application of any lubricant, the parts
concerned should be wiped clean to remove
dust and grit; after lubricating excess oil and
grease should be removed. Particular attention
should also be given to hood latching compo-
nents to ensure proper function. When perform-
ing other underhood services, the hood latch,
release mechanism and safety catch should be
cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated
twice a year, preferably in the Fall and Spring.
Apply a small amount of a high quality lubricant,
such as MOPAR® Lock Cylinder Lubricant di-
rectly into the lock cylinder.Windshield Wiper BladesClean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and
the windshield periodically with a sponge or soft
cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will
remove accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using the
wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry wind-
shield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or
ice from the windshield. Keep the blade rubber
out of contact with petroleum products such as
engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies de-
pending on geographical area and fre-
quency of use. Poor performance of blades
may be present with chattering, marks, wa-
ter lines or wet spots. If any of these condi-
tions are present, clean the wiper blades or
replace as necessary.
