2018 JEEP CHEROKEE lock

WARNING!
• Never use the PARK position as a sub-stitute for the parking brake. Always ap-
ply the parking brake fully when exiting
the vehicle to guard against vehicle
movement and possible injury or dam-
age.
• When exiting the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle un-
attended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri-
ously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the transmission
gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition
in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child
WARNING!
could operate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle.
• Be sure the parking brake is fully disen-
gaged before driving; failure to do so can
lead to brake failure and a collision.
• Always fully apply the parking brake
when leaving your vehicle, or it may roll
and cause damage or injury. Also be
certain to leave the transmission in
PARK. Failure to do so may allow the
vehicle to roll and cause damage or in-
jury.
• Driving the vehicle with the parking
brake engaged, or repeated use of the
parking brake to slow the vehicle may
cause serious damage to the brake sys-
tem.
Auto Park Brake
The electric park brake can be programmed
to be applied automatically whenever the
vehicle is at a standstill and the automatic
transmission is placed in PARK, or with a
manual transmission, whenever the ignition
is turned “OFF”. Auto Park Brake is enabled and disabled by customer selection through
the customer programmable features section
of the Uconnect Settings.
Any single auto park brake application can be
bypassed by pushing the EPB switch to the
release position while the transmission is
placed in PARK.
SafeHold
SafeHold is a safety feature of the Electric
Park Brake System that will engage the park
brake automatically if the vehicle is left un-
secured while the ignition is in ON/RUN.
For automatic transmissions, the park brake
will automatically engage if all of the follow-
ing conditions are met:
• The vehicle is at a standstill.
• There is no attempt to depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal.
• The seat belt is unbuckled.
• The driver door is open.

CAUTION!
If you skip a gear while downshifting or
downshift at too high of a vehicle speed,
these conditions may cause the engine to
overspeed if too low of a gear is selected
and the clutch pedal is released. Damage
to the clutch and the transmission can
result from skipping a gear while down-
shifting or downshifting at too high of a
vehicle speed even if the clutch pedal is
held pressed (i.e., not released).

vehicle and hit someone or something.
Only shift into gear when the engine is
idling normally and your foot is firmly
pressing the brake pedal.
• Unintended movement of a vehicle
could injure those in or near the vehicle.
As with all vehicles, you should never
exit a vehicle while the engine is run-
ning. Before exiting a vehicle, always
come to a complete stop, then apply the
parking brake, shift the transmission
into PARK, turn the engine OFF, and
remove the key fob. When the ignition is
in the LOCK/OFF (key removal) position,
(or, with Keyless Enter-N-Go, when the
ignition is in the OFF mode) the trans-
mission is locked in PARK, securing the
vehicle against unwanted movement.
• When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock the vehicle.
•
Never use the PARK position as a substi-
tute for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when exiting the ve-

hicle to guard against vehicle movement
and possible injury or damage.
• Your vehicle could move and injure you
and others if it is not in PARK. Check by
trying to move the gear selector out of
PARK with the brake pedal released.
Make sure the transmission is in PARK
before exiting the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle un-
attended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri-
ously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the transmission
gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition
(in a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go) in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. A child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the ve-
hicle.
STARTING AND OPERATING
128

CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if
the following precautions are not ob-
served:
• Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSEonly after the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
• Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is
above idle speed.
• Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly pressing the brake
pedal.
NOTE:
You must press and hold the brake pedal
while shifting out of PARK.
Key Ignition Park Interlock
This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition
Park Interlock which requires the transmis-
sion to be in PARK before the ignition can be
turned to the LOCK/OFF (key removal) posi-
tion. The key fob can only be removed from the ignition when the ignition is in the LOCK/
OFF position, and the transmission is locked
in PARK whenever the ignition is in the
LOCK/OFF position.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Trans-
mission Shift Interlock system (BTSI) that
holds the transmission gear selector in PARK
unless the brakes are applied. To shift the
transmission out of PARK, the ignition must
be in the ON/RUN mode (engine running or
not) and the brake pedal must be pressed.
The brake pedal must also be pressed to shift
from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE
when the vehicle is stopped or moving at low
speeds.
Nine-Speed Automatic Transmission
The transmission gear range (PRND) is dis-
played both beside the gear selector and in
the instrument cluster. To select a gear range,
press the lock button on the gear selector and
move the selector rearward or forward. You
must also press the brake pedal to shift thetransmission out of PARK (or NEUTRAL,
when the vehicle is stopped or moving at low
speeds). Select the DRIVE range for normal
driving.
NOTE:
In the event of a mismatch between the gear
selector position and the actual transmission
gear (for example, driver selects REVERSE
while driving forward), the position indicator
will blink continuously until the selector is
returned to the proper position, or the re-
quested shift can be completed.
The electronically-controlled transmission
adapts its shift schedule based on driver
inputs, along with environmental and road
conditions. The transmission electronics are
self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts
on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt.
This is a normal condition, and precision
shifts will develop within a few hundred miles
(kilometers).
The nine-speed transmission has been devel-
oped to meet the needs of current and future
FWD/AWD vehicles. Software and calibration
is refined to optimize the customer’s driving
experience and fuel economy. By design,

Additionally, on dry pavement under heavy
throttle input (where one may have no wheel
spin), torque will be sent to the rear in a
pre-emptive effort to improve vehicle launch
and performance characteristics.
CAUTION!
All wheels must have the same size and type
tires. Unequal tire sizes must not be used.
Unequal tire size may cause failure of the
power transfer unit.
2-Speed Four-Wheel Drive (4x4) —
If Equipped
The Four-Wheel Drive is fully automatic in the
normal driving mode. The Selec-Terrain but-
tons provide three selectable mode positions:
• 4WD LOW
• REAR LOCK (If Equipped)
• NEUTRAL

NOTE:
If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, a
message will flash from the instrument clus-
ter display with instructions on how to com-
plete the requested shift. Refer to “Instru-
ment Cluster Display” in “Getting To know
Your Instrument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
Shifting Out Of 4X4 LOW
With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to
5 km/h), the ignition in the ON mode and the
engine running, shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL, and push the “4WD LOW” button
once. The “4WD LOW” indicator light in the
instrument cluster will flash and go out when
the shift is complete.
NOTE:
• If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, amessage will flash from the instrument
cluster display with instructions on how to
complete the requested shift. Refer to “In-
strument Cluster Display” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
•
Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is possible
with the vehicle completely stopped; however,
difficulty may occur due to the mating clutch
teeth not being properly aligned. Several at-
tempts may be required for clutch teeth align-
ment and shift completion to occur. The pre-
ferred 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 4WD system
will not allow the shift.
NEUTRAL Shift Procedure
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if
you leave the vehicle unattended with the
power transfer unit in the NEUTRAL (N)
position without first fully engaging the
parking brake. The NEUTRAL (N) position
disengages both the front and rear drive-
shafts from the powertrain and will allow
the vehicle to roll, even if the automatic
transmission is in PARK (or manual trans-
mission is in gear). The parking brake
should always be applied when the driver
is not in the vehicle.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop on level ground and shift the automatic
transmission to PARK.
2. Turn the engine OFF.
3. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN mode, but do not start the engine.
4. Press and hold the brake pedal.

5. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
6. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object,push and hold the recessed power transfer
unit NEUTRAL (N) button (located by the
selector 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
complete. 7. After the shift is completed and the NEU-
TRAL (N) light stays on, release the NEU-
TRAL (N) button.
8. Start the engine.
9. Release the parking brake.
10. Shift the transmission into REVERSE.
11. Release the brake pedal (and clutch pedal on manual transmissions) for five
seconds and ensure that there is no
vehicle movement.
12. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL.
13. Apply the parking brake.
14. Shift the automatic transmission into PARK, or place manual transmission in
gear (NOT in Neutral). Turn the engine
OFF, and remove the key fob.
Repeat steps 1-7 to shift out of NEUTRAL.Rear Electronic Locker (E-Locker) System
— If Equipped
The Rear E-Locker System features a me-
chanical locking rear differential to provide
better traction in the 4WD LOW position. The
“REAR LOCK” button is on the Selec-Terrain
Knob.
Activating The Rear E-Locker
To activate the Rear E-Locker System, the
following conditions must be met:
1. The 4WD system must be in 4WD LOW.
2. The ignition in the ON mode and the engine running.
3. Vehicle speed must be below 15 MPH (24 km/h).
4. To engage Rear E-Locker, push the REAR LOCK button once.

2. The ignition in the ON mode and theengine running.
3. To disengage Rear E-Locker, push the REAR LOCK button once.
NOTE:
• It may also be necessary to drive slowly steering back and forth to complete en-
gagement and disengagement of the
E-Locker.
• When engaging Rear E-Locker, the indica- tor lights in the instrument cluster and on
the REAR LOCK button will begin to flash.
When the shift is complete the REAR LOCK
indicator lights will remain on.
• When disengaging Rear E-Locker, the indi- cator lights in the instrument cluster and on
the REAR LOCK button will begin to flash.
When the shift is complete the REAR LOCK
indicator lights will remain off.
• Shifting into or out of Rear E-Locker is possible with the vehicle completely
stopped; however, difficulty may occur due
to the mating clutch teeth not being prop-
erly aligned. Several attempts may be re-
quired for clutch teeth alignment and shift
completion to occur. The preferred method is for the vehicle to be rolling, below
15 MPH (24 km/h), while including right
and left steering maneuvers to allow for the
clutch teeth to align.
• The Rear E-Locker System must be disen- gaged prior to taking the vehicle out of 4WD
LOW range. If 4WD LOW shift conditions/
interlocks are not met, a message will flash
from the instrument cluster display with
instructions on how to complete the re-
quested shift.
SELEC-TERRAIN
Description
Selec-Terrain combines the capabilities of
the vehicle control systems, along with driver
input, to provide the best performance for all
terrains.
Rotate the Selec-Terrain knob to select the
desired mode. Selec-Terrain offers the following modes:
•
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 ac-
celeration over two-wheel drive vehicles.
• Snow — Tuning set for additional stability
in inclement weather. Use on and off road
on loose traction surfaces such as snow.

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
left thin line turn solid yellow. 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 yellow (on/off) and the left thin line
remains solid yellow. The LaneSense tell-
tale changes from solid yellow to flashing
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.
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.).
