2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE lock

NOTE:
• If shift conditions/interlocks are not met,or a transfer case motor temperature pro-
tection condition exists, a “For 4x4 High
Slow Below 3 mph (5 km/h) Put Trans in N
push 4 Low” message will flash from the
instrument cluster display. Refer to “In-
strument Cluster Display” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
• Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is pos- sible with the vehicle completely stopped;
however, difficulty may occur due to the
mating clutch teeth not being properly
aligned. Several attempts may be required
for clutch teeth alignment and shift
completion to occur. The preferred
method is with the vehicle rolling 0 to
3 mph (0 to 5 km/h). If the vehicle is
moving faster than 3 mph (5 km/h), the
transfer case will not allow the shift.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 NEUTRAL (N) position disen-
gages both the front and rear drive shafts
from the powertrain and will allow the
vehicle to roll, even if the transmission is
in PARK. The parking brake should always
be applied when the driver is not in the
vehicle.
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, push and hold the recessed transfer case
NEUTRAL (N) button (located by the se-
lector switch) for four seconds. The light behind the NEUTRAL (N) symbol will
blink, indicating shift in progress. The
light will stop blinking (stay on solid)
when the shift to NEUTRAL (N) is com-
plete. A “NEUTRAL” message will appear
in the instrument cluster display. Refer to
“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting
To Know Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information.
6. After the shift is completed and the NEU- TRAL (N) light stays on, release the NEU-
TRAL (N) button.
7. Shift the transmission into REVERSE.

Quadra-Drive II System — If Equipped
The optional Quadra-Drive II System features
two torque transfer couplings. The couplings
include an Electronic Limited-Slip Differen-
tial (ELSD) rear axle and the Quadra-Trac II
transfer case. The optional ELSD axle is fully
automatic and requires no driver input to
operate. Under normal driving conditions,
the unit functions as a standard axle, balanc-
ing torque evenly between left and right
wheels. With a traction difference between
left and right wheels, the coupling will sense
a speed difference. As one wheel begins to
spin faster than the other, torque will auto-
matically transfer from the wheel that has
less traction, to the wheel that has traction.
While the transfer case and axle coupling
differ in design, their operation is similar.
Follow the Quadra-Trac II transfer case shift-
ing information, preceding this section, for
shifting this system.

flashing yellow. At this time torque is ap-
plied to the steering wheel in the opposite
direction of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of
the lane the steering wheel will turn to the
right.
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the
similar behavior for a right lane departure.
Changing LaneSense Status
The LaneSense system has settings to adjust
the intensity of the torque warning and the
warning zone sensitivity (early/late) that you
can configure through the Uconnect system
screen. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
NOTE:
• When enabled the system operates above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph
(180 km/h).
• Use of the turn signal suppresses the warnings. • The system will not apply torque to the
steering wheel whenever a safety system
engages. (anti-lock brakes, traction con-
trol system, electronic stability control,
forward collision warning, etc.).
PARKVIEW REAR BACK-UP
CAMERA
Symbols And Messages On The Display
You can see an on-screen image of the rear of
your vehicle whenever the transmission is
shifted into REVERSE. The ParkView Rear
Back-Up Camera image will be displayed on
the Uconnect Display, located on the center
stack of the instrument panel.
If the Uconnect Display appears foggy, clean
the camera lens located on the rear of the
vehicle above the rear license plate.
Rear Camera — Viewing At Speed
When the vehicle is in PARK, NEUTRAL or
DRIVE, the Rear View Camera can be acti-
vated with the “Rear View Camera” button in
the Controls menu. This feature allows the
customer to monitor the area directly behind the vehicle (or trailer, if equipped) for up to
ten seconds while at speed. If the vehicle
speed remains below 8 mph (13 km/h), the
Rear View Camera image will be displayed
continuously until deactivated via the “X”
button on the touchscreen.
Refer to “ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera —
If Equipped” in “Starting And Operating” in
your Owner's Manual at
www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals/ for fur-
ther 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.

Bulb Replacement
High Intensity Discharge Headlamps (HID)
—
If Equipped
The headlamps are a type of high voltage
discharge tube. High voltage can remain in
the circuit even with the headlamp switch off
and the key removed. Because of this, you
should not attempt to service a headlamp bulb
yourself. If a headlamp bulb fails, take your
vehicle to an authorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at the bulb
sockets of High Intensity Discharge (HID)
headlamps when the headlamp switch is
turned ON. It may cause serious electrical
shock or electrocution if not serviced prop-
erly. See your authorized dealer for ser-
vice. NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with High Intensity
Discharge (HID) headlamps, when the head-
lamps are turned on, there is a blue hue to
the lamps. This diminishes and becomes
more white after approximately 10 seconds,
as the system charges.
Halogen Headlamps — If Equipped
1. Open the hood.
2. Turn the low or high beam bulb one–
quarter turn counterclockwise to remove
from housing.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector and replace the bulb.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with your fin-
gers. Oil contamination will severely
shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in
contact with any oily surface, clean the
bulb with rubbing alcohol.
Front Turn Signal Lamp
1. Open the hood.
2. Turn the turn signal bulb one–quarter turncounterclockwise to remove from
housing.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector and replace the bulb.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with your fin-
gers. Oil contamination will severely
shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in
contact with any oily surface, clean the
bulb with rubbing alcohol.
Front Fog Lamps
1. Reach through the cutout in the splashshield and disconnect the wiring harness
from the fog lamp connector.
2. Firmly grasp the bulb by the two latches and squeeze them together to unlock the
