When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW,
the engine speed is approximately three
times that of the normal driving mode at a
given road speed. Take care not to overspeed
the engine and do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles
depends on tires of equal size, type, and
circumference on each wheel. Any difference
will adversely affect shifting and cause
damage to the driveline components.
Because four-wheel drive provides improved
traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe
turning and stopping speeds. Do not go
faster than road conditions permit.
Shift Positions
For additional information on the appropriate
use of each 4WD system mode position, see
the information below:
NEUTRAL (N)
This range disengages the driveline from the
powertrain.
4WD LOW
This range is for low speed four-wheel drive.
It provides an additional gear reduction
which allows for increased torque to be deliv-
ered to both the front and rear wheels while
providing maximum pulling power for loose,
slippery road surfaces only. Do not exceed
25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE:
Refer to “Selec-Terrain — If Equipped” for
further information on the various positions
and their intended usages.
Shifting Procedures
Shifting Into 4X4 LOW
With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0
to 5 km/h), the ignition in the ON mode and
the engine running, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL, and push the “4WD LOW”
button once. The “4WD LOW” indicator light
in the instrument cluster will begin to flash
and remain on solid when the shift is
complete.
2-Speed 4x4 Switch (With Rear Lock)
NOTE:
If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, a
message will flash from the instrument
cluster display with instructions on how to
complete the requested shift.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if
you leave the vehicle unattended with the
power transfer unit in the NEUTRAL (N)
position without first fully engaging the
parking brake. The NEUTRAL (N) position
disengages both the front and rear
driveshafts from the powertrain and will
allow the vehicle to roll, even if the
automatic transmission is in PARK (P) (or
manual transmission is in gear). The
parking brake should always be applied
when the driver is not in the vehicle.

PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
intended to assist the driver during parallel
and perpendicular parking maneuvers by
identifying a proper parking space, providing
audible/visual instructions, and controlling
the steering wheel. The ParkSense Active
Park Assist system is defined as “semi-auto-
matic” since the driver maintains control of
the accelerator, gear selector and brakes.
Depending on the driver's parking maneuver
selection, the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system is capable of maneuvering a vehicle
into a parallel or a perpendicular parking
space on either side (i.e., driver side or
passenger side).
NOTE:
The driver is always responsible for
controlling the vehicle, responsible for any
surrounding objects, and must intervene
as required.
The system is provided to assist the driver
and not to substitute the driver.
During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the
driver touches the steering wheel after
being instructed to remove their hands
from the steering wheel, the system will
cancel, and the driver will be required to
manually complete the parking maneuver.
The system may not work in all conditions
(e.g. environmental conditions such as
heavy rain, snow, etc., or if searching for a
parking space that has surfaces that will
absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
New vehicles from the dealer must have at
least 30 miles (48 km) accumulated
before the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system is fully calibrated and performs
accurately. This is due to the system’s
dynamic vehicle calibration to improve the
performance of the feature. The system
will also continuously perform the
dynamic vehicle calibration to account for
differences such as over or under inflated
tires and new tires.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system can
be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense
Active Park Assist switch, located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect display. To enable the ParkSense Active
Park Assist system, push the Park
-
Sense Active Park Assist switch
once (LED turns on).
To disable the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, push the ParkSense Active Park
Assist switch again (LED turns off).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for further infor -
mation.LANESENSE — IF EQUIPPED
LaneSense Operation
The LaneSense system is operational at
speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below
112 mph (180 km/h). The LaneSense
system uses a forward looking camera to
detect lane markings and measure vehicle
position within the lane boundaries.

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 LaneSense system

2020_JEEP_CHEROKEE_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 168

169

will also operate in this manner when only a
single lane marking is detected and the driver
unintentionally drifts across the lane marking
(no turn signal applied).

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 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.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met,
the LaneSense system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and
provide an audible and visual 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 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
current lane drift condition through the
instrument 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 senses a lane
drift situation, the left thick lane line and
left thin lane line turn solid white. The
LaneSense telltale changes from solid
green to solid 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
right.
When the LaneSense system senses the
lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the LaneSense
system will show a solid white left line, a
solid gray right line, and a solid yellow tell-
tale.
