2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE start stop button

WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of
road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead;
and, most importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle
under all road conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving
to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result
in a collision and death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g.,a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be
limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in
wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop while following a target vehicle and
hold the vehicle for 2 seconds in the stop position. If the target vehicle does not
start moving within two seconds the ACC system will display a message that the
system will release the brakes and that the brakes must be applied manually.
An audible chime will sound when the brakes are released.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes.
• When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
The Cruise Control system has two control modes:
• Adaptive Cruise Control mode for maintaining an appropriate distance between
vehicles.
• Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control mode for cruising at a constant
preset speed. For additional information, refer to “Normal (Fixed Speed)
Cruise Control Mode” in this section.
Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control will not react to preceding vehicles.
Always be aware of the mode selected.
You can change the mode by using the Cruise Control buttons. The two control
modes function differently. Always confirm which mode is selected.

System Malfunction
If there is a malfunction in the STOP/START system, the system will not shut down
the engine. A “SERVICE STOP/START SYSTEM” message will appear in the Driver
Information Display (DID). Refer to “Driver Information Display (DID)“ in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
If the “SERVICE STOP/START SYSTEM” message appears in the DID, have the

SPORT MODE — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle is equipped with a Sport
Mode feature. This mode is a configura-
tion set up for typical enthusiast driving.

tings. Sport Mode will provide improved
throttle response and modified shifting
for an enhanced driving experience, as
well the greatest amount of steering feel.
This mode may be activated and deacti-

SELEC-TERRAIN
Selec-Terrain combines the capabilities of the vehicle control systems, along with
driver input, to provide the best performance for all terrains.
Rotate the mode control knob to select the following Selec-Terrain positions:
Snow – Tuning set for additional stability in inclement weather. Use on and off road
on loose traction surfaces such as snow. When in Snow mode (depending on certain
operating conditions), the transmission may use second gear (rather than first gear)
during launches, to minimize wheel slippage. If equipped with air suspension, the
level will change to Normal Ride Height (NRH).
Auto – Fully automatic full time four-wheel drive operation can be used on and off
road. Balances traction with seamless steering feel to provide improved handling and
acceleration over two-wheel drive vehicles. If equipped with air suspension, the level
will change to NRH.
Sand – Off road calibration for use on low traction surfaces such as 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 suspension, the level will change to
NRH.

Shifting Into NEUTRAL (N)
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if you leave the vehicle unattended with the
transfer case in the NEUTRAL (N) position without first fully engaging the parking
brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both the front and rear
driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move, even if the
transmission is in PARK. The parking brake should always be applied when the
driver is not in the vehicle.
CAUTION!
It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in
NEUTRAL (N) before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, with the engine running.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
4. If vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift air suspension, ensure the vehicle is set to Normal Ride Height.
5. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, press and hold the recessed transfer case NEUTRAL (N) button (located by the selector switch) for four seconds. The light
behind the N symbol will blink, indicating shift in progress. The light will stop
blinking (stay on solid) when the shift to NEUTRAL (N) is complete. A “FOUR
WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL” message will display on the Driver
Information Display (DID).
6. After the shift is completed and the NEUTRAL (N) light stays on, release the NEUTRAL (N) button.
7. Shift the transmission into REVERSE.
8. Release the brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle movement.
9. Press and hold the brake pedal. Shift the transmission back into NEUTRAL
10. Firmly apply the parking brake.
11. With the transmission and transfer case in NEUTRAL, push and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button until the engine turns off.

13. Push the ENGINE STOP/START button twice (without pressing the brake pedal)to turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
14. Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suitable tow bar.
15. Release the parking brake.
NOTE:
• Steps 1 through 4 are requirements that must be met before pressing the NEUTRAL (N) button, and must continue to be met until the shift has been
completed. If any of these requirements are not met before pushing the NEUTRAL
(N) button or are no longer met during the shift, then the NEUTRAL (N) indicator
light will flash continuously until all requirements are met or until the NEUTRAL
(N) button is released.
• The ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position for a shift to take place and for the position indicator lights to be operable. If the ignition switch is not in the
ON/RUN position, the shift will not take place and no position indicator lights will
be on or flashing.
• A flashing NEUTRAL (N) position indicator light indicates that shift requirements have not been met.
• If the vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift air suspension, the engine should be started and left running for a minimum of 60 seconds (with all the doors closed)
at least once every 24 hours. This process allows the air suspension to adjust the
vehicle’s ride height to compensate for temperature effects.
Shifting Out Of NEUTRAL (N)
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for normal usage:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, leaving it connected to the tow vehicle.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake.
