2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE warning

Far
The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting.
The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of the
vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to avoid a collision.
This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration) recommendations.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Near
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows the system to warn you of a
potential frontal collision when you are much closer.
This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which allows for a
more dynamic driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer
this setting.
Off
Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you.
Turning Active Braking ON Or OFF
The Active Braking feature has two settings and can be changed within the
Uconnect
®System Screen:
•On
• Off
Changing the Active Braking status to “Off” prevents the system from providing
limited autonomous braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking
adequately in the event of a potential frontal collision.
NOTE:
If FCW is set to “Off”, “FCW OFF” will be displayed in the EVIC.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor
can FCW detect every type of potential collision. The driver has the responsibility
to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to
follow this warning could lead to serious injury or death.

SYNC Temperature Soft-Key
• Touch the “SYNC” soft-key on the Uconnect®radio to control the driver and
passenger temperatures simultaneously. Touch the “SYNC” soft-key a second time
to control the temperatures individually.
Air Recirculation
• Use Recirculation for maximum A/C operation.
• For window defogging, turn the recirculation button off.
• If the recirculation button is pushed while in the AUTO mode, the indicator light
may flash three times to indicate the cabin air is being controlled automatically.
Heated Mirrors
The mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This feature is activated whenever you turn
on the rear window defroster.
PARKSENSE® FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST
ParkSense®can be enabled and disabled by pressing the ParkSense®switch located
below the climate controls, on the switch panel.
The four ParkSense
®sensors, located in the rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area
behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. The sensors can detect
obstacles from approximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 79 in (200 cm) from the rear
fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense
®sensors, located in the front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in
front of the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. The sensors can detect
obstacles from approximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 47 in (120 cm) from the front
fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
When an object is detected within 6.5 ft (2 m) behind the rear bumper while the
vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) and a chime will sound (when Sound and Display is selected from the
Customer Programmable Features section of the Uconnect
®System screen). As the
vehicle moves closer to the object, the chime rate will change from single 1/2 second
tone (for rear only), to slow (for rear only), to fast, to continuous.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

Cleaning The ParkSense® Sensors
If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” appears in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC), clean the ParkSense®sensors with water, car wash soap and a soft
cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sensors. Otherwise,
you could damage the sensors.
NOTE:
When the Instrument Cluster reads either Clean Sensor or Blinded, please clean off
the bumper sensors to see if the condition is corrected.
PARKVIEW® REAR BACK-UP CAMERA
You can see an on-screen image of the rear of your vehicle whenever the shift lever is
put into REVERSE. The ParkView®Rear Back-Up Camera image will be displayed on
the radio display screen, located on the center stack of the instrument panel.
If the radio display screen appears foggy, clean the camera lens located on the rear
of the vehicle above the rear license plate.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up; even when using the ParkView®Rear
Back-Up Camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to
check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before
backing up. You must continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

BLIND SPOT MONITORING
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located
inside the rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles,
trucks, motorcycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of
the vehicle.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside
mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute
the radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
POWER SUNROOF
The power sunroof switch is located on the overhead console.

WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof. Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Do not leave the Key Fob in or
near the vehicle, and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly
unattended children, can become entrapped by the power sunroof while
operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrapment may result in serious
injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat
belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury
may result.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any
window. This will minimize buffeting.

Using HomeLink®
To operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink®button. Activation will
now occur for the programmed device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held trans-
mitter of the device may also be used at any time.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming
the transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled
and can cause you and others to be severely injured or killed.
POWER INVERTER
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter outlet located on the back of the center
console. This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power
devices requiring power up to 150 Watts.
NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with
built-in overload protection. If the power
rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the
power inverter will automatically shut
down. Once the electrical device has
been removed from the outlet, the in-
verter should automatically reset. If the
power rating exceeds approximately
170 Watts, the power inverter may have
to be reset manually. To reset the inverter
manually, unplug the device and plug it in again. To avoid overloading the circuit,
check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death DO NOT:
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• touch with wet hands
Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
