GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
70
— Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Warning Light
The warning light switches on and a message
is displayed to indicate that the tire pressure
is lower than the recommended value and/or
that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these
cases, optimal tire duration and fuel
consumption may not be guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition
mentioned above, the display will show the
indications corresponding to each tire. Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom
-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Moni -
toring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tire pressure warning light when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute
for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of
the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects
a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approx
-
imately one minute and then remain continu -
ously illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.

CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more
flat tires as handling may be
compromised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding
sharp braking and steering. If a tire
puncture occurs, repair immediately using
the dedicated tire repair kit and contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.

SAFETY

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warning

Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with low pres -
sure (those in a different color in the instru -
ment cluster graphic) to the vehicle’s
recommended cold placard pressure value.
Once the system receives the updated tire
pressures, the system will automatically
update, the pressure values in the graphic
display in the instrument cluster will return to
their original color, and the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Warning Light” will turn off. The
vehicle 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
5 psi (35 kPa) above the recommended cold
placard pressure in order to turn the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Warning Light off.
Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Warning 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" message 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 Warning
Light” will no longer flash, and the
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message will no
longer display, and a pressure 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
driving 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
compact spare tire.
2020_JEEP_CHEROKEE_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 96

97
2. If you install the compact ornon-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
Warning Light” will remain on and a
chime will sound. In addition, the
graphic in the instrument cluster will still
display a different color pressure value.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h),
the “TPMS Warning Light” will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain
on solid. In addition, the instrument
cluster will display a “Service Tire Pres -
sure 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 Warning0
Light” will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid, and
the instrument 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 Warning Light” will turn off and
the graphic in the instrument cluster
will display a new pressure value
instead of dashes (- -), as long as no
tire pressure is below the low-pressure
warning limit in any of the four active
road tires. The vehicle 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.
TPMS Deactivation — If Equipped
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with wheel and tire assemblies that do not
have TPMS Sensors, such as when installing
winter wheel and tire assemblies on your
vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first replace all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with tires not equipped with Tire Pressure
Monitoring (TPM) sensors. Then, drive the
vehicle for 10 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the "TPM Telltale Light" will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on. The instru
-
ment cluster will display the “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure values.
Beginning with the next ignition cycle, the
TPMS will no longer chime or display the
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message in the
instrument cluster but dashes (--) will
remain in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
tires equipped with TPM sensors. Then, drive
the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime,
the "TPM Telltale Light" will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then turn off. The instru -
ment cluster will display the “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message and then display pres -
sure values in place of the dashes. On the
next ignition cycle the "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message will no longer be
displayed as long as no system fault exists.

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
locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check the area under the vehicle after over-
night 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 immediately.
If the vehicle carpet has been removed
and re-installed, always properly attach
carpet to the floor and check the floor
mat fasteners are secure to the vehicle
carpet. Fully depress each pedal to
check for interference with the acceler -
ator, brake, or clutch pedals then
re-install the floor mats.
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
secured to your vehicle using the floor
mat fasteners by lightly pulling mat.

Fuel Funnel
5. Remove the funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior to putting back in the spare tire
storage area.REFUELING THE VEHICLE —
DIESEL ENGINE
The Capless Fuel System uses a flapper
placed at the filler pipe of the fuel tank; it
opens and closes automatically upon inser -
tion/extraction of the fuel nozzle. The
Capless Fuel System is designed so that it
prevents the filling of an incorrect type of
fuel.
1. Unlock the fuel filler door by pushing the unlock button on the key fob or the
unlock button on the driver-side door
trim panel.
2. Open the fuel filler door by pushing on the rear edge of the Fuel Door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door inside the pipe seals the system.
4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe; the nozzle opens and holds the
flapper door while refueling.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in
or near the vehicle when the fuel door is
open or the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is
running. This is in violation of most
countries regulations and may cause the
“Malfunction Indicator Light” to turn on.
Do not apply any object/cap to the end of
the filler which is not provided for the
car. The use of non-compliant objects/
plugs could cause a pressure increase
inside the tank, resulting in dangerous
situations.
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.
