2018 JEEP CHEROKEE fuel fill door release

Automatic Mode
The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every
normal customer engine start. It will remain
in STOP/START NOT READY until you drive
forward with a vehicle speed greater than
4 mph (7 km/h). At that time, the system will
go into STOP/START READY and if all other
conditions are met, can go into a STOP/
START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE “Autostop”
mode.
To Activate The Autostop Mode, The Following
Must Occur:
• The system must be in STOP/STARTREADY state. A STOP/START READY mes-
sage will be displayed in the instrument
cluster display within the Stop/Start sec-
tion. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display”
in “Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel” in your Owner’s information for fur-
ther details.
• The vehicle must be completely stopped.
• The gear selector must be in DRIVE and the brake pedal depressed (automatic trans-
mission) or the gear selector must be in
NEUTRAL and the clutch pedal must be
fully released (manual transmission). The engine will shut down, the tachometer
will move to the zero position and the Stop/
Start telltale will illuminate indicating you
are in Autostop. While in Autostop, the Cli-
mate Controls system may automatically ad-
just airflow to maintain cabin comfort. Cus-
tomer settings will be maintained upon return
to an engine running condition.
Possible Reasons The Engine Does Not
Autostop
Prior to engine shut down, the system will
check many safety and comfort conditions to
see if they are fulfilled. Detailed information
about the operation of the Stop/Start system
may be viewed in the instrument cluster
Stop/Start Screen. In the following situations
the engine will not stop:
• Driver’s seat belt is not buckled.
• Driver’s door is not closed.
• Battery temperature is too warm or cold.
• The vehicle is on a steep grade.
• Cabin heating or cooling is in process and
an acceptable cabin temperature has not
been achieved. • HVAC is set to full defrost mode at a high
blower speed.
• Engine has not reached normal operating temperature.
• Battery charge is low.
• The transmission is not in DRIVE (auto- matic transmission) or NEUTRAL (manual
transmission).
• Hood is open.
• Vehicle is in 4LO transfer case mode.
• Exhaust system regeneration in process.
Other Factors Which Can Inhibit Autostop In-
clude:
• Fuel level.
• Accelerator pedal input (automatic trans- mission only).
• Engine temperature too high.
It may be possible for the vehicle to be driven
several times without the STOP/START sys-
tem going into a STOP/START READY state
under more extreme conditions of the items
listed above.

up. You must continue to pay attention

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

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.

CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle
power outlets draw power from the vehi-
cle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough without engine
operation, the vehicle’s battery will dis-
charge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.
REFUELING IN EMERGENCY
Emergency Fuel Filler Door Release
If you are unable to open the fuel filler door,
use the fuel filler door emergency release.
1. Open the liftgate.
2. Remove access door located on right inte-rior trim panel for release cable with the
tip of your key.
3. Grab the release cable tether and pull up to release the fuel filler door.
IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can
reduce the potential for overheating your en-
gine by taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the
transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not in-
crease engine idle speed.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads “H,” pull over and stop the
vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air con-
ditioner turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the pointer
remains on the “H” and you hear continu-
ous chimes, turn the engine off immedi-
ately and call for service. NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow
down an impending overheat condition:
• If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it
off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine
cooling system and turning the A/C off can
help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode control to floor
and the blower control to high. This allows
the heater core to act as a supplement to
the radiator and aids in removing heat from
the engine cooling system.WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open
the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.
