2018 JEEP CHEROKEE warning

NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the
similar behavior for a right lane departure
when only the right lane marking has been
detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
• When the LaneSense system is on, the lanelines turn from gray to white to indicate that
both of the lane markings have been de-
tected. The LaneSense telltale is solid
green when both lane markings have been
detected and the system is “armed” to
provide visual warnings in the instrument
cluster display and a torque warning in the
steering wheel if an unintentional lane de-
parture occurs.
• When the LaneSense system senses a lane drift situation, the left thick lane line and
the left thin line turn solid white. The Lane-
Sense telltale changes from solid green to
solid yellow. At this time torque is applied
to the steering wheel in the opposite direc-
tion of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of
the lane the steering wheel will turn to the
right. • When the LaneSense system senses the
lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes from white to gray, the left thin line
remains solid white and the LaneSense
telltale changes from solid yellow to flash-
ing yellow. At this time torque is applied 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.
Premium Instrument Cluster Display —
If Equipped
When the LaneSense system is on; the lane
lines are gray when both of the lane bound-
aries have not been detected and the Lane-
Sense telltale is solid white. Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
• When the LaneSense system is on, the
LaneSense telltale is solid white when only
the left lane marking has been detected
and the system is ready to provide visual
warnings in the instrument cluster display
if an unintentional lane departure occurs.
• When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes yellow (on/off), the left thin line
remains solid yellow and the LaneSense
telltale changes from solid white to flashing
yellow.
NOTE:

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” in your Owner’s Manual 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 warn- ings.
• The system will not apply torque to the steering wheel whenever a safety system
engages (anti-lock brakes, traction control
system, electronic stability control, forward
collision warning, etc.).

WARNING!
up. You must continue to pay attention
while backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
• To avoid vehicle damage, ParkViewshould only be used as a parking aid.
The ParkView camera is unable to view
every obstacle or object in your drive
path.
• To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle
must be driven slowly when using
ParkView to be able to stop in time when
an obstacle is seen. It is recommended
that the driver look frequently over his/
her shoulder when using ParkView.
REFUELING THE VEHICLE
The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler
door, on the passenger side of the vehicle. If
the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the
replacement cap has been designed for use
with this vehicle. NOTE:
When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap
tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler
door reinforcement.
1. Push the fuel filler door release switch
(located on the driver’s side door trim).
2. Open the fuel filler door, and remove the fuel filler cap. NOTE:
• In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent
the fuel door from opening. If this occurs,
lightly push on the fuel door to break the ice
buildup and re-release the fuel door using
the inside release button. Do not pry on the
door.
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
• Tighten the gas cap about one quarter turn until you hear one click. This is an indica-
tion that the cap is properly tightened.
• If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will
come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened
every time the vehicle is refueled.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel door is
open or the tank is being filled.
Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)
155

WARNING!
• Never add fuel when the engine is run-ning. This is in violation of most coun-
tries regulations and may cause the
“Malfunction Indicator Light” to turn
on.
• A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a
vehicle. You could be burned. Always
place fuel containers on the ground
while filling.
CAUTION!
• Damage to the fuel system or emissioncontrol system could result from using
an improper fuel filler cap. A poorly
fitting cap could let impurities into the
fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting after-
market cap can cause the “Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL)” to illuminate, due
to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
• A poorly fitting fuel filler cap may cause
the MIL to turn on.
CAUTION!
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, donot “top off” the fuel tank after filling.
• If fuel is spilled on surface on the paint,
clear it immediately to avoid damage the
paint.

Bi-Xenon High Intensity Discharge (HID)
Headlamps — If Equipped
The headlamps contain a type of high voltage
discharge light source. High voltage can re-
main in the circuit even with the headlamp
switch off. Because of this, you should not
attempt to service a HID headlamp light source yourself. If an HID headlamp light
source fails, take your vehicle to an autho-
rized dealer for service.
NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with HID headlamps,
when the headlamps are turned on, there is a
blue hue to the lights. This diminishes and
becomes more white after approximately
10 seconds, as the system charges.
WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at the bulb
sockets of HID headlamps when the head-
lamp switch is turned ON. It may cause
serious electrical shock or electrocution if
not serviced properly. See your authorized
dealer for service.

FUSES
WARNING!
• When replacing a blown fuse, always usean appropriate replacement fuse with
the same amp rating as the original fuse.
Never replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace a
blown fuse with metal wires or any other
material. Do not place a fuse inside a
circuit breaker cavity or vice versa. Fail-
ure to use proper fuses may result in
serious personal injury, fire and/or prop-
erty damage.
• Before replacing a fuse, make sure that
the ignition is off and that all the other
services are switched off and/or disen-
gaged.
• If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
• If a general protection fuse for safetysystems (air bag system, braking sys-
tem), power unit systems (engine sys-
tem, transmission system) or steering
system blows, contact an authorized
dealer.
General Information
The fuses protect electrical systems against
excessive current.
When a device does not work, you must check
the fuse element inside the blade fuse for a
break/melt.
Also, please be aware that when using power
outlets for extended periods of time with the
engine off may result in vehicle battery dis-
charge.
Underhood Fuses
The Power Distribution Center is located in
the engine compartment near the battery.
This center contains cartridge fuses, mini-
fuses and relays. A label that identifies each
component is printed on the inside of the
cover.
