Instrument panel JEEP CHEROKEE 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

Automatic Mode
The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every
normal customer engine start. It will remain
in STOP/START NOT READY until you drive
forward with a vehicle speed greater than
4 mph (7 km/h). At that time, the system will
go into STOP/START READY and if all other
conditions are met, can go into a STOP/
START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE “Autostop”
mode.
To Activate The Autostop Mode, The Following
Must Occur:
• The system must be in STOP/STARTREADY state. A STOP/START READY mes-
sage will be displayed in the instrument
cluster display within the Stop/Start sec-
tion. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display”
in “Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel” in your Owner’s information for fur-
ther details.
• The vehicle must be completely stopped.
• The gear selector must be in DRIVE and the brake pedal depressed (automatic trans-
mission) or the gear selector must be in
NEUTRAL and the clutch pedal must be
fully released (manual transmission). The engine will shut down, the tachometer
will move to the zero position and the Stop/
Start telltale will illuminate indicating you
are in Autostop. While in Autostop, the Cli-
mate Controls system may automatically ad-
just airflow to maintain cabin comfort. Cus-
tomer settings will be maintained upon return
to an engine running condition.
Possible Reasons The Engine Does Not
Autostop
Prior to engine shut down, the system will
check many safety and comfort conditions to
see if they are fulfilled. Detailed information
about the operation of the Stop/Start system
may be viewed in the instrument cluster
Stop/Start Screen. In the following situations
the engine will not stop:
• Driver’s seat belt is not buckled.
• Driver’s door is not closed.
• Battery temperature is too warm or cold.
• The vehicle is on a steep grade.
• Cabin heating or cooling is in process and
an acceptable cabin temperature has not
been achieved. • HVAC is set to full defrost mode at a high
blower speed.
• Engine has not reached normal operating temperature.
• Battery charge is low.
• The transmission is not in DRIVE (auto- matic transmission) or NEUTRAL (manual
transmission).
• Hood is open.
• Vehicle is in 4LO transfer case mode.
• Exhaust system regeneration in process.
Other Factors Which Can Inhibit Autostop In-
clude:
• Fuel level.
• Accelerator pedal input (automatic trans- mission only).
• Engine temperature too high.
It may be possible for the vehicle to be driven
several times without the STOP/START sys-
tem going into a STOP/START READY state
under more extreme conditions of the items
listed above.

To Start The Engine While In Autostop
Mode
Automatic Transmission:
While in DRIVE, the engine will start when
the brake pedal is released or the throttle
pedal is depressed. The transmission will
automatically re-engage upon engine restart.
During this transition, the brakes will hold
the vehicle to avoid undesired vehicle move-
ment.
Manual Transmission:
When the gear selector is in NEUTRAL, the
engine will start when the clutch pedal is
pressed. The vehicle will go into STOP/
START SYSTEM NOT READY mode until the
vehicle speed is greater than 4 mph (7 km/h).
Conditions That Will Cause The Engine To Start
Automatically While In Autostop Mode:
• The transmission gear selector is movedfrom DRIVE to REVERSE or NEUTRAL.
• To maintain cabin temperature comfort.
• HVAC is set to full defrost mode. • Battery voltage drops too low.
• Low brake vacuum (e.g. after several brake
pedal applications).
• STOP/START OFF switch is pushed.
• 4WD system is put into 4LO mode.
• The emissions system requires it.
• A STOP/START system error occurs.
• HVAC system temperature or fan speed is manually adjusted.
Conditions That Force An Application Of The
Electric Park Brake While In Autostop Mode:
• The driver door is open and brake pedal released.
• The driver door is open and the driver seat belt is unbuckled.
• The engine hood has been opened.
• A STOP/START system error occurs.
If the Electric Park Brake is applied with the
engine off, the engine may require a manual
restart and the electric park brake may re-
quire a manual release (depress brake pedal
and push Electric Park Brake switch). Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting
To Know Your Instrument Panel” in your Own-
er’s Manual for further information.

Varying The Speed
Once the Speed Control has been activated,
the speed can be increased or decreased.
To Increase Speed
When the Speed Control is set, you can in-
crease speed by pushing the SET(+)button.
The driver's preferred units can be selected
through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual for
more information. The speed increment
shown is dependant on the chosen speed unit
of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h):
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pushing the SET (+)button once will result
in a 1 mph increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an
increase of 1 mph. • If the button is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to increase until the
button is released, then the new set speed
will be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the SET (+)button once will result
in a 1 km/h increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an
increase of 1 km/h.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase until the
button is released, then the new set speed
will be established.
To Decrease Speed
When the Speed Control is set, you can de-
crease speed by pushing the SET (-)button.
The driver's preferred units can be selected
through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to “Getting To Know Your

Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
If you do not, the vehicle may continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. If this oc-
curs:
• The message “DRIVER OVERRIDE” willappear in the instrument cluster display.
• The system will not be controlling the dis- tance between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead. The vehicle speed will only be de-
termined by the position of the accelerator
pedal.
Varying The Speed
Once the ACC has been activated, the speed
can be increased or decreased.
NOTE:
• When you override and push the SET (+)
button or SET (-)buttons, the new set
speed will be the current speed of the
vehicle.
• When you use the SET (-)button to decel-
erate, if the engine’s braking power does
not slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach
the set speed, the brake system will auto-
matically slow the vehicle. • The ACC system applies the brake down to
a full stop when following a target vehicle.
If an ACC host vehicle follows a target
vehicle to a standstill, the host vehicle will
release the vehicle brakes two seconds af-
ter coming to a full stop.
• The ACC system maintains set speed when driving up hill and down hill. However, a
slight speed change on moderate hills is
normal. In addition, downshifting may oc-
cur while climbing uphill or descending
downhill. This is normal operation and nec-
essary to maintain set speed. When driving
up hill and down hill, the ACC system will
cancel if the braking temperature exceeds
normal range (overheated).
To Increase Speed
While ACC is set, you can increase the set
speed by pushing the SET (+)button.
The driver's preferred units can be selected
through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to “Getting To Know Your

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, as
well as a visual warning in 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 a visual warning
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 thedriver’s hands are on the steering wheel and
provide an audible and visual warning to the
driver when the driver’s hands are not de-
tected 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 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 “Lane-
Sense On” message is shown in the instru-
ment 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.
Base Instrument Cluster Display — If Equipped
When the LaneSense system is on; the lane
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 detected
and the system is ready to provide visual
warnings in the instrument cluster display
if an unintentional lane departure occurs.
• When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes from white to gray, the left thin line
remains solid white and the LaneSense
telltale changes from solid white to flashing
yellow.

cluster display and a torque warning in the
steering wheel if an unintentional lane de-
parture 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 applied
to the steering wheel in the opposite direc-
tion of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of
the lane the steering wheel will turn to the
right.
• 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) and the left thin line
remains solid yellow. The LaneSense tell-
tale changes from solid yellow to flashing
yellow. At this time torque is applied 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. NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the
similar behavior for a right lane departure.
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.).
