2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE instrument cluster

SELEC-TRACK
Selec-Track combines the capabilities of
the vehicle control systems, along with
driver input, to provide the best perfor-
mance for all terrains.
Rotate the mode control knob to select
the following Selec-Track positions:
•Sport - Dry weather, on-road calibra-
tion. Performance based tuning that
provides a rear wheel drive feel but with improved handling and acceleration over
a two-wheel drive vehicle. The active suspension system will be in a semi firm
mode, and a green flag will light up in the instrument cluster.
• Snow - Tuning set for additional stability in inclement weather. Use on and off road
on loose traction surfaces such as snow.
• Auto - Fully automatic full time four-wheel drive operation can be used on and off
road. This position balances traction with seamless steering feel to provide
improved handling and acceleration over two-wheel drive vehicles.
• Track - This position offers track road calibration for use on high traction surfaces.
Driveline is maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving
surfaces.
• To w - Use this mode for towing. Vehicle suspension will go to Firm mode.
Active Damping System
This vehicle is equipped with an electronic controlled damping system. This system
reduces body roll and pitch in many driving situations including cornering, accelera-
tion and braking. There are 3 modes:
•Street Mode (Available in terrain positions AUTO, SNOW and CUSTOM.) — Used
during highway speeds where a touring suspension feel is desired.
• Sport Mode (Available in terrain positions AUTO, SPORT, CUSTOM and TOW.) —
Provides a firm suspension for better handling.
• Track Firm (Available in terrain positions AUTO, TRACK and CUSTOM.) —
Provides a full firm suspension for an aggressive track experience.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
– Battery Charge Warning Light
This light illuminates when the battery is not charging properly. If the battery charge
warning light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the
charging system.
We recommend you do not continue driving if it is on. Have the vehicle serviced
immediately.
– Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop
the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four
minutes when this light turns on.
We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately.
– Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
If the light turns on and a warning chime sounds while driving, safely pull over and
stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal,
turn the engine off immediately.
We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have
the vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
189

– Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of an onboard diagnostic system called
OBD II that monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. The light
will illuminate when the key is in the ON/RUN position before engine start. If the bulb
does not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition
checked promptly.
Certain conditions, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the light after engine start.
The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical
driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require
towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on could cause
damage to the engine control system. It also could affect fuel economy and
driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power
loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as referenced above, can reach higher
temperatures than in normal operating conditions. This can cause a fire if you
drive slowly or park over flammable substances such as dry plants, wood,
cardboard, etc. This could result in death or serious injury to the driver, occupants
or others.
– Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will
come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out
with the engine running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes
on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC
system. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been
driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your
authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
• The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction IndicatorLight” come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.
• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON, even if it was turned off previously.
• The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop when ESC becomes inactive following the maneuver
that caused the ESC activation.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
194

• To improve the vehicle's traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, itmay be desirable to switch the ESC system to Partial Off mode by momentarily
pushing the ESC Off
switch located below the climate controls, on the switch
panel.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INDICATOR LIGHTS
– Low Fuel Warning Light
This warning light indicates when the fuel level reaches approximately 1.5 gal
(5.8 L). This light will turn on and a single chime will sound.
