Hands-Free Liftgate Activation Zone
To open or close the liftgate using hands-free
activation, use a straight in and out kicking
motion under the vehicle activation zone in
the general location below the rear license
plate. Do not move your foot sideways or in a
sweeping motion or the sensors may not
detect the motion.
NOTE:
Activation zone is the same for vehicles
equipped with and without trailer tow
package.
When a valid kicking motion is completed,
the liftgate will chime, the hazard lights will
flash and the liftgate will open after approxi -mately one second, or close after approxi
-
mately three seconds. This assumes all
options are enabled in the radio.
NOTE:
Opening or closing the Hands-Free Lift -
gate requires a valid Passive Entry key fob
within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the door handle. If a
valid Passive Entry key fob is not within
5 ft (1.5 m), the liftgate will not respond
to any kicks.
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature may be
turned on or off in Uconnect Settings.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi -
media” in the Owner’s Manual for further
information. The Hands-Free Liftgate
feature should be turned off during

If anything obstructs the Hands-Free Lift-
gate while it is opening or closing, the lift -
gate will automatically reverse to the
closed/open position, provided it meets
sufficient resistance.
There are pinch sensors attached to the
side of the liftgate opening. Light pressure
anywhere along these strips will cause the
liftgate to return to the open position.
If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the
system will automatically stop. If this
occurs, the liftgate must be operated
manually.
The power liftgate will release, but not
power open, in temperatures below −12°F
(−24°C). Be sure to remove any buildup of
snow or ice from the liftgate before
opening the liftgate.
If the liftgate is left open for an extended
period of time, the liftgate may need to be
closed manually to reset power liftgate
functionality. Gas props support the liftgate in the open

drops with temperature, it may be necessary
to assist the props when opening the liftgate
in cold weather.
NOTE:
Allow the power system to open the liftgate.
Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may
activate the liftgate obstacle detection
feature and stop the power operation or
reverse its direction.
INTERNAL EQUIPMENT
Power Outlets
Your vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (13
Amp) power outlets that can be used to
power cellular phones, small electronics, and
other low powered electrical accessories. The
power outlets are labeled with either a “key”
or a “battery” symbol to indicate how the
outlet is powered. Power outlets labeled with
a “key” are powered when the ignition switch
is in the ON or ACC position, while the
outlets labeled with a “battery” are
connected directly to the battery and
powered at all times.
NOTE:
All accessories connected to the “battery”
powered outlets should be removed or turned
off when the vehicle is not in use to protect
the battery against discharge.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your
vehicle. You and your passengers could
be injured by these fumes. Keep the lift
-
gate closed when you are operating the
vehicle.
If you are required to drive with the lift -
gate open, make sure that all windows
are closed, and the climate control
blower switch is set at high speed. Do
not use the recirculation mode.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the
liftgate travel path is clear. Make sure the
liftgate is closed and latched before
driving away.

system determines that the driver intends to
avoid the collision by braking but has not
applied sufficient brake force, the system
will compensate and provide additional
brake force as required.
If a Forward Collision Warning with Mitiga-
tion event begins at a speed below 32 mph
(52 km/h), the system may provide the
maximum braking possible to mitigate the
potential forward collision. If the Forward
Collision Warning with Mitigation event stops
the vehicle completely, the system will hold
the vehicle at standstill for two seconds and
then release the brakes.
FCW Message
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).

The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects
other than vehicles such as guard rails or
sign posts based on the course prediction.
This is expected and is a part of normal FCW
activation and functionality.

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
prevent unnecessary warnings to the
surroundings.
FCW may not react to irrelevant objects
such as overhead objects, ground reflec-
tions, objects not in the path of the
vehicle, stationary objects that are far
away, oncoming traffic, or leading vehicles
with the same or higher rate of speed.
FCW will be disabled like ACC, with the
unavailable screens.
Turning FCW On or Off
The FCW button is located in the Uconnect
display in the control settings. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner's Manual for further information.
To turn the FCW system on, press the
forward collision button once to turn the
system on.
To turn the FCW system off, press the
forward collision button once to turn the
system off.
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
vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to
follow this warning could lead to serious
injury or death.

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.
