2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE steering

Gauges 2
When selected, this screen displays the following values:
Intake Air Temperature
• Shows the actual intake air temperature.
Battery Voltage
• Shows the actual battery voltage.
Transmission Temperature
• Shows the actual transmission temperature.
G-Force
When selected, this screen displays all four G-Force values (two lateral and two
longitudinal) as well as steering angle.
The following features are available:
Lateral G-Force Left and Right
• The lateral g-force measures the (sideways) left and right force of the vehicle.
Longitudinal G-Force Acceleration and Braking
• The longitudinal g-force measures the acceleration and braking force of thevehicle.
Peak G-Forces Acceleration and Braking, Left and Right
• This shows the maximum g-forces that have been achieved since the last reset from the DID. Peak values are maintained through ignition cycles by the DID until
they are cleared by the driver.
Vehicle Speed
• Vehicle Speed measures the current speed of the vehicle in either mph or km/h, starting at 0 with no maximum value.
Steering Wheel Angle
• Steering Wheel Angle utilizes the steering angle sensor to measure the degree of the steering wheel relative to zero. The zero degree measurement indicates a
steering wheel straight ahead position. When the steering angle value is negative,
this indicates a turn to the left, and when the steering angle value is positive, a turn
to the right.

If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the
ignition must be in the ON/RUN position, not the ACC position.
If the key fob is unavailable, or the vehicle's battery is discharged, refer to “Manual
Park Release” in this section for instructions on shifting the transmission out of
PARK for towing.
CAUTION!
• Do not use sling type equipment when towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
• When securing the vehicle to a flat bed truck, do not attach to front or rearsuspension components. Damage to your vehicle may result from improper
towing.
Two-Wheel Drive Models
The manufacturer recommends towing your vehicle with all four wheels OFFthe
ground using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the transmission is operable, the vehicle
may be towed (with rear wheels on the ground) under the following conditions:
• The transmission must be in NEUTRAL. Refer to "Manual Park Release" in this section for instructions on shifting the transmission to NEUTRAL when the engine
is off.
• The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
• The towing distance must not exceed 30 miles (48 km).
If the transmission is not operable, or the vehicle must be towed faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or farther than 30 miles (48 km), tow with the rear wheels OFFthe ground.
Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle on a flatbed, or with the front wheels
raised and the rear wheels on a towing dolly, or (when using a suitable steering wheel
stabilizer to hold the front wheels in the straight position) with the rear wheels raised
and the front wheels on the ground.
CAUTION!
Towing faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or farther than 30 miles (48 km) with rear
wheels on the ground can cause severe transmission damage. Damage from
improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Four-Wheel Drive Models
The manufacturer recommends towing with all wheelsOFFthe ground. Acceptable
methods are to tow the vehicle on a flatbed or with one end of vehicle raised and the
opposite end on a towing dolly.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the transfer case is operable, vehicles with
a two-speed transfer case may be towed (in the forward direction, with ALLwheels on
the ground), IFthe transfer case is in NEUTRAL (N) and the transmission is in PARK.
Refer to “Recreational Towing” in “Starting And Operating” in the Owner’s Manual
on the DVD for detailed instructions.
Vehicles equipped with a single-speed transfer case have no NEUTRAL position, and
therefore mustbe towed with all four wheels OFFthe ground.
CAUTION!
• Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used. Internal damage to the transmission
or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when towing.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or transfer case damage. Damage from improper towing is
not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved using a
rocking motion. Turn the steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the
front wheels. Push and hold the lock button on the gear selector. Then shift back and
forth between DRIVE and REVERSE while gently pressing the accelerator.
NOTE:
Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can only be achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph
(8 km/h) or less. Whenever the transmission remains in NEUTRAL for more than two
seconds, you must push the brake pedal to engage DRIVE or REVERSE.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain the rocking
motion without spinning the wheels or racing the engine.

WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure,affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-
inflation increases tire flexing and can result in over-heating and tire failure.
Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and
chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire
pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control. Always drive with each tire
inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
ADDING FUEL
1. Push the fuel filler door release switch (located under the headlamp switch).
