2020 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Ignition switch

When both lane markings are detected and
the driver unintentionally drifts out of the
lane (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense
system provides a haptic warning in the form
of torque applied to the steering wheel to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane
boundaries. If the driver continues to unin-
tentionally drift out of the lane, the Lane-
Sense system provides a visual warning
through the instrument cluster display to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane
boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic
warning by applying torque into the steering
wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected
and the driver unintentionally drifts across
the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the
LaneSense system provides visual warnings
through the instrument cluster display to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane.
When only a single lane marking is detected,
a haptic (torque) warning will not be
provided.NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met,
the LaneSense system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and
provides an audible warning to the driver
when the driver’s hands are not detected on
the steering wheel. The system will cancel if
the driver does not return their hands to the
wheel.
Turning LaneSense On Or Off
The default status of LaneSense is off. The
LED in LaneSense button will be illuminated
while the system is deactivated.
The LaneSense button is located
on the switch panel below the
Uconnect display.
To turn the LaneSense system
on, push the LaneSense button (LED turns
off). A “LaneSense On” message is shown in
the instrument cluster display.
To turn the LaneSense system off, push the
LaneSense button once (LED turns on).NOTE:
The LaneSense system will retain the last
system state on or off from the last ignition
cycle when the ignition is changed to the
ON/RUN position.
LaneSense Warning Message
The LaneSense system will indicate the cur-
rent lane drift condition through the instru-
ment cluster display.
Premium Instrument Cluster Display

lines are gray when both of the lane bound-
aries have not been detected and the Lane-
Sense telltale
is solid white.
Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
• When the LaneSense system is on, the
LaneSense telltale
is solid white when
only the left lane marking has been de-
tected and the system is ready to provide
visual warnings in the instrument cluster
display if an unintentional lane departure
occurs.
STARTING AND OPERATING

• 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.
