2020 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE steering wheel

• 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), the left thin line
remains solid yellow and the LaneSense
telltale
changes from solid white to
flashing yellow.
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the
similar behavior for a right lane departure
when only the right lane marking has been
detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
• When the LaneSense system is on, the lane
lines turn from gray to white to indicate that
both of the lane markings have been de-
tected. The LaneSense telltale
is solid
green when both lane markings have been
detected and the system is on to provide
visual warnings in the instrument cluster
display and a torque warning in the steering
wheel if an unintentional lane departure
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 ap-
plied 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.

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.).

Without The Key Fob
Special care must be taken when the vehicle
is towed with the ignition in the LOCK/OFF
mode. The only approved method of towing
without the key fob is with a flatbed truck.
Proper towing equipment is necessary to pre-
vent damage to the vehicle.
Two-Wheel Drive Models
The manufacturer recommends towing your
vehicle with all four wheelsOFFthe ground
using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the
transmission is operable, the vehicle may be
towed (with rear wheels on the ground) under
the following conditions:
• The transmission must be in NEUTRAL.
Refer to "Manual Park Release" in this sec-
tion for instructions on shifting the trans-
mission to NEUTRAL when the engine is
off.
• The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph
(48 km/h).
• The towing distance must not exceed
30 miles (48 km).If the transmission is not operable, or the
vehicle must be towed faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or farther than 30 miles (48 km),
tow with the rear wheelsOFFthe ground.
Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle on
a flatbed, or with the front wheels raised and
the rear wheels on a towing dolly, or (when
using a suitable steering wheel stabilizer to
hold the front wheels in the straight position)
with the rear wheels raised and the front
wheels on the ground.
CAUTION!
• Towing faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or
farther than 30 miles (48 km) with rear
wheels on the ground can cause severe
transmission damage. Damage from im-
proper towing is not covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Four-Wheel Drive Models
The manufacturer recommends towing with
all wheelsOFFthe ground. Acceptable meth-
ods are to tow the vehicle on a flatbed or with
one end of vehicle raised and the opposite
end on a towing dolly.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the
transfer case is operable, vehicles may be
towed (in the forward direction, withALL
wheels on the ground),IFthe transfer case is
in NEUTRAL (N) and the transmission is in
PARK. Refer to “Recreational Towing” in
“Starting And Operating” in the Owner’s
Manual for detailed instructions.
Vehicles equipped with a single-speed trans-
fer case have no NEUTRAL position, and
thereforemustbe towed with all four wheels
OFFthe ground.
CAUTION!
• Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used
(if the remaining wheels are on the
ground). Internal damage to the trans-
mission or transfer case will occur if a
233

CAUTION!
front or rear wheel lift is used when
towing.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or transfer case dam-
age. Damage from improper towing is
not covered under the New Vehicle Lim-
ited Warranty.
Tow Eye Usage — If Equipped
Your vehicle is equipped with a tow eye that
can be used to move a disabled vehicle.
When using a tow eye be sure to follow the
“Tow Eye Usage Precautions” and the “Tow-
ing A Disabled Vehicle” instructions in this
section.Tow Eye Usage Precautions
CAUTION!
• The tow eye must only be used for road-
side emergencies. Use with an appropri-
ate device in accordance with highway
code (a rigid bar) to maneuver the ve-
hicle in preparation for transport via a
tow truck.
• The tow eye must not be used to move
the vehicle off the road or where there
are obstacles.
• Do not use the tow eyes for tow truck
hookup or highway towing.
• Do not use the tow eye to free a stuck
vehicle. Refer to the “Freeing A Stuck
Vehicle” section for further information.
• Please refer to the “Towing A Disabled
Vehicle” section for detailed instruc-
tions. Damage to your vehicle may occur
if these guidelines are not followed.
WARNING!

tow eyes.
• Do not use a chain with a tow eye.
Chains may break, causing serious in-
jury or death.
• Do not use a tow strap with a tow eye.
Tow straps may break or become disen-
gaged, causing serious injury or death.
• Failure to follow proper tow eye usage
may cause components to break result-
ing in serious injury or death.
• The brake and steering power assist sys-
tems will not function while the vehicle
is being towed. You will, therefore, need
to apply more force on the brake pedal
and steering wheel. Do not use flexible
ropes when towing, and avoid jerky
