2019 JEEP CHEROKEE key

tem determines that a forward collision is
probable, the driver will be provided with
audible and visual warnings and may provide
a brake jerk warning.
If the driver does not take action based upon
these progressive warnings, then the system
will provide a limited level of active braking to
help slow the vehicle and mitigate the poten-
tial forward collision. If the driver reacts to
the warnings by braking and the system de-
termines that the driver intends to avoid the
collision by braking but has not applied suf-
ficient brake force, the system will compen-
sate and provide additional brake force as
required.
If a Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation
event begins at a speed below 32 mph
(52 km/h), the system may provide the maxi-
mum braking possible to mitigate the poten-
tial forward collision. If the Forward Collision
Warning with Mitigation event stops the ve-
hicle completely, the system will hold the
vehicle at standstill for two seconds and then
release the brakes.When the system determines a collision with
the vehicle in front of you is no longer prob-
able, the warning message will be deacti-
vated.
NOTE:
• The minimum speed for FCW activation is
1 mph (2 km/h).
• It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To
prevent such misuse of the system, after
four Active Braking events within a key
cycle, the Active Braking portion of FCW
will be deactivated until the next key cycle.
• The FCW system is intended for on-road
use only. If the vehicle is taken off-road, the
FCW system should be deactivated to pre-
vent unnecessary warnings to the
surroundings.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not
intended to avoid a collision on its own,
nor can FCW detect every type of potential
collision. The driver has the responsibility
to avoid a collision by controlling the ve-
hicle via braking and steering. Failure to
WARNING!
follow this warning could lead to serious
injury or death.
FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking sta-
tus are programmable through the Uconnect
System. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” in the Owner’s Manual for fur-
ther information.
The default sensitivity of FCW is the “Me-
dium” setting and the system status is
“Warning & Braking”. This allows the system
to warn the driver of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front using audible/visual warn-
ings and it applies autonomous braking.
Changing the FCW status to “Far” setting
allows the system to warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front
using audible/visual warning when the latter
is at a farther distance than "Medium" set-
ting. This provides the most reaction time to
avoid a possible collision.

may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the
TPMS to receive this information.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi
(28 kPa) above the recommended cold plac-
ard pressure in order to turn the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light off.
Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will flash
on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid. The system fault will also sound a
chime. In addition, the instrument cluster
will display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" mes-
sage for a minimum of five seconds and then
display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure
value to indicate which sensor is not being
received.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence
will repeat, providing the system fault still
exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will
no longer flash, and the “SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM” message will no longer display, and apressure value will display in place of the
dashes. A system fault can occur due to any
of the following:
• Jamming due to electronic devices or driv-
ing next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
• Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.
• Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS
sensors.
Vehicles With Compact Spare or Non-Matching
Full Size Spare
1. The compact spare tire or non-matching
full size does not have a tire pressure
monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS
will not monitor the pressure in the com-
pact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact or non-
matching full size spare tire in place of a
road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, upon the next
ignition key cycle, the “TPMS TelltaleLight” will remain on and a chime will
sound. In addition, the graphic in the
instrument cluster will still display a dif-
ferent color pressure value.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 10 min-
utes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the “TPMS
Telltale Light” will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid. In
addition, the instrument cluster will dis-
play a “Service Tire Pressure System”
message for five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a
chime will sound, the “TPMS Telltale
Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds
and then remain on solid, and the instru-
ment cluster will display a “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message for five seconds and
then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value.
5. Once you repair or replace the original
road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in
place of the compact spare or non-
matching full size, the TPMS will update
automatically. In addition, the “TPMS
Telltale Light” will turn off and the

rior) “Universal ISOFIX”.
To Install An ISOFIX Child Restraint
If the selected seating position has a Switch-
able Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) seat
belt, stow the seat belt, following the instruc-tions below. See the section “Installing Child
Restraints Using the Vehicle Seat Belt” to
check what type of seat belt each seating
position has.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower connec-
tors and on the tether strap of the child
seat so that you can more easily attach the
connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
2. Place the child seat between the lower
anchorages for that seating position. For
some second row seats, you may need to
recline the seat and / or raise the head
restraint to get a better fit. If the rear seat

Suitability of Passenger Seats for i-Size
Child Restraint System Use
The rear outboard seats of the vehicle are
type-approved to house the state-of-the-art
i-Size child restraint systems.
These child restraint systems, built and type-
approved according to the i-Size (ECE R129)
standard, ensure better safety conditions to
carry children on board a vehicle:
• The child must be transported rearward
facing until 15 months:
• Child restraint system protection is in-
creased in the event of a side collision:
• The use of the ISOFIX system is promoted
to avoid faulty installation of the child re-
straint system:
• Efficiency in the choice of the child re-
straint system, which isn't made according
to weight anymore but according to the
child's height, is increased:• Compatibility between the vehicle seats
and the child restraint systems is better:
the i-Size child restraint systems can be
considered as "Super ISOFIX"; this means
that they can be perfectly fitted in type-
approved i-Size seats, but can also be fitted
in ISOFIX (ECE R44) type-approved seats.
NOTE:
The vehicle seats, i-Size type-approved, are
marked by the symbol shown in Figure XX.
The following table, according to
European standard ECE 129, in-
dicates the possibility of i-Size
child restraint system installa-
tion.

• It is recommended to only use mild soap
and water to clean your floor mats. After
cleaning, always check your floor mat
has been properly installed and is se-
cured to your vehicle using the floor mat
fasteners by lightly pulling mat.
Periodic Safety Checks You Should Make
Outside The Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and
uneven wear patterns. Check for stones,
nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the
tread or sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts
and cracks. Inspect sidewalls for cuts,
cracks, and bulges. Check the wheel nuts for
tightness. Check the tires (including spare)
for proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake
lights and exterior lights while you work the
controls. Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for proper closing, latching, and lock-
ing.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under the vehicle after overnight
parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid
leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or
if fuel, or brake fluid leaks are suspected. The
cause should be located and corrected imme-
diately.
