2020 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE fuel cap

NOTE:
When working with AdBlue®, it is important
to know that:
• Any containers or parts that come into con-
tact with AdBlue
®must be AdBlue®com-
patible (plastic or stainless steel). Copper,
brass, aluminum, iron or non-stainless
steel should be avoided as they are subject
to corrosion by AdBlue
®.
• If AdBlue
®is spilled, it should be wiped up
completely.
Adding AdBlue®
Preliminary Conditions
AdBlue
®freezes at temperatures lower than
12° F (-11° C). If the car stands for a long
time at this temperature refilling could be
difficult. For this reason, it is advised to park
the vehicle in a garage and/or heated environ-
ment and wait for the urea to return to liquid
state before topping up.Proceed as follows:
• Park the car on flat ground and stop the
engine by cycling the ignition to the OFF
position.
• Open the fuel door, undo and remove the
cap (blue) from the AdBlue
®filler.Refilling With Nozzles
You can fill up at any AdBlue
®distributor.
Proceed as follows:
• Insert the AdBlue
®nozzle in the filler, start
refilling and stop refilling at the first shut-
off (the shut-off indicates that the AdBlue
®
tank is full). Do not proceed with the refill-
ing, to prevent spillage of AdBlue®.
• Extract the nozzle.
Refilling With Containers
Proceed as follows:
• Check the expiration date.
• Read the advice for use on the label before
pouring the content of the bottle into the
AdBlue
®tank.
• If systems which cannot be screwed in (e.g.
tanks) are used for refilling, after the indi-
cation appears on the instrument panel
display refer to “Warning lights And Mes-
sages" in the “Getting To Know Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information, fill the
AdBlue
®tank with no more than 5.8 Gal-
lons (22 liters).
Fuel Filler

• If containers which can be screwed to the
filler are used, the reservoir is full when the
AdBlue
®level in the container stops pour-
ing out. Do not proceed further.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do
not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.
Operations After Refilling
Proceed as follows:
• Fit the cap back on the AdBlue
®filler by
turning it clockwise and screwing it com-
pletely.
• Cycle the ignition to RUN (it is not neces-
sary to start the engine).
• Wait for the indication on the instrument
panel to switch off before moving the car.
The indication may stay on for a few sec-
onds to approximately half a minute. If the
engine is started and the car is moved, the
indication will remain on for longer. This
will not compromise engine operation.• If the AdBlue
®was topped up when the
tank was empty, wait for 2 minutes before
starting the engine.
NOTE:
• If AdBlue
®is spilled out of the filler neck,
clean up well the area and proceed to filling
up again. If the liquid crystallizes, elimi-
nate it with a sponge and warm water.
• DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM LEVEL:
this could cause damage to the reservoir.
AdBlue
®freezes at under 12° F (-11° C).
Although the system is designed to operate
below the freezing point of the AdBlue
®,it
is advisable not to fill the tank beyond the
maximum level because if the AdBlue
®
freezes the system can be damaged. Follow
the instructions in this section.
• If the AdBlue
®is spilled on painted sur-
faces or aluminium, immediately clean the
area with water and use absorbent material
to collect the fluid that has been spilled on
the ground.
• Do not try to start the engine if AdBlue
®
was accidentally added to the diesel fuel
tank, this can result in serious engine dam-
age, contact an authorized dealer.• Do not add additives or other fluids to
AdBlue
®, doing so could damage the
system.
• The use of non-conforming or degraded
AdBlue
®may lead to indications appearing
on the instrument panel display refer to
“Warning Lights And Messages" in the
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.
• Never pour AdBlue
®into another con-
tainer: it could be contaminated.
• If the AdBlue
®runs out, see refer to “Warn-
ing Lights And Messages" in the “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further
information to continue using the car
normally.

JACKING AND TIRE
CHANGING
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving traf-
fic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid
the danger of being hit when operating
the jack or changing the wheel.
• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dan-
gerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be
crushed. Never put any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you
need to get under a raised vehicle, take
it to a service center where it can be
raised on a lift.
• Never start or run the engine while the
vehicle is on a jack.
• The jack is designed to be used as a tool
for changing tires only. The jack should
not be used to lift the vehicle for service
purposes. The vehicle should be jacked
on a firm level surface only. Avoid ice or
slippery areas.
Run Flat Tires — SRT Models
SRT models are equipped with “run flat”
tires. Run flat tires allow the vehicle to be
driven approximately 50 miles (80 km) at
55 mph (88 km/h). Tire service should be
obtained to avoid prolonged run flat feature
usage.
WARNING!
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) if the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” is
illuminated. Vehicle handling and braking
may be reduced. You could have a collision
and be severely or fatally injured.
Jack Location
The scissor-type jack and tire changing tools
are located in the rear cargo area, below the
load floor.
Spare Tire Stowage
The spare tire is stowed under the load floor
in the rear cargo area and is secured to the
body with a special wing nut.

3. Disconnect the positive(+)end of the
jumper cable from the positive(+)post of
the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the posi-
tive(+)jumper cable from the remote
positive(+)post of the discharged
vehicle.
5. Reinstall the protective cover over the
remote positive(+)post of the discharged
vehicle.
If frequent jump starting is required to start
your vehicle you should have the battery and
charging system tested at an authorized
dealer.
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
The funnel for the Cap-Less Fuel System is
located in the spare tire storage area. If your
vehicle is out of fuel and an auxiliary fuel can
is needed, insert the funnel into the filler
neck and proceed to fill the vehicle.
For more information on the Cap-Less Fuel
System refer to “Refueling The Vehicle” in
“Starting And Operating”.
IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can
reduce the potential for overheating 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 the engine idle speed while prevent-
ing vehicle motion with the brakes.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.

Checking Oil Level — Gasoline Engine
To assure proper lubrication of your vehicle’s
engine, the engine oil must be maintained at
the correct level. Check the oil level at regular
intervals, such as every fuel stop. The best
time to check the engine oil level is about five
minutes after a fully warmed up engine is
shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil
level readings. Always maintain the oil level
within the SAFE zone on the dipstick. Adding
one quart of oil when the reading is at the
bottom of the SAFE zone will result in a
reading at the top of the safe zone on these
engines.
CAUTION!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase
will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure.
This could damage your engine.
WARNING!
• Never smoke while working in the engine
compartment: gas and inflammable va-
pors may be present, with the risk of fire.
• Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
CAUTION!
• Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping
up with an unsuitable fluid could se-
verely damage your car.
• The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
• Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in
the engine.
CAUTION!
• If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loos-
ening the filler cap, particularly for ve-
hicles with aluminium cap (if equipped).
WARNING: risk of burns!
• Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase
will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure.
This could damage your engine.
Checking Oil Level — 3.0 Diesel Engine
To assure proper lubrication of your vehicle's
engine, the engine oil must be maintained at
the correct level. Check the oil level at regular
intervals. The best time to check the oil level
is before starting the engine after it has been
parked overnight. When checking oil after
operating the engine, first ensure the engine
is at full operating temperature, then wait for
five minutes after engine shutdown to check
the oil.
253

Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil
level readings. Add oil only when the level on
the dipstick is below the “MIN” mark. The
total capacity from the MIN mark to the MAX
mark is 1 qt (1 L).
CAUTION!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase
will cause oil aeration or loss of oil pres-
sure. This could damage your engine.
NOTE:
It is possible for your oil level to be slightly
higher than a previous check. This would be
due to diesel fuel that may temporarily be in
the crankcase due to operation of the diesel
particulate filter regeneration strategy. This
fuel will evaporate out under normal opera-
tion.
Never operate the engine with oil level below
the “MIN” mark or above the upper “MAX”
mark.
WARNING!
• Never smoke while working in the engine
compartment: gas and inflammable va-
pors may be present, with the risk of fire.
• Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
CAUTION!
• Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping
up with an unsuitable fluid could se-
verely damage your car.
• The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
• Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in
the engine.
CAUTION!
• If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loos-
ening the filler cap, particularly for ve-
hicles with aluminium cap (if
equipped). WARNING: risk of burns!
• Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase
will cause aeration or loss of oil pres-
sure. This could damage your engine.
Adding Washer Fluid
The instrument cluster display will indicate
when the washer fluid level is low. When the
sensor detects a low fluid level, the wind-
shield will light on the vehicle graphic outline
and the “WASHER FLUID LOW” message
will be displayed.
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers
and the rear window washer is shared. The
fluid reservoir is located in the engine com-
partment, be sure to check the fluid level at
regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with wind-
shield washer solvent only (not radiator anti-
freeze). When refilling the washer fluid reser-
voir, take some washer fluid and apply it to a
cloth or towel and wipe clean the wiper
