JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2004 WK / 3.G Owners Manual

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK
External racks do not increase the total load carrying
capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant
and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on the
luggage rack, do not exceed the rated vehicle capacity.
This vehicle is not equipped with roof rack cross rails as
built, unless ordered as optional equipment. Cross rails
must be installed prior to carrying loads on the roof rack.
If not equipped, your authorized dealer can order and
install Mopartcross rails built specifically for this roof
rack system or a number of after market rails that are
tailored to your life-style or activities.CAUTION!
²To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO
NOT carry any loads on the roof rack without cross
rails installed. The load should be secured and
placed on top of the cross rails, not directly on the
roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the roof,
place a blanket or some other protection between the
load and the roof surface.
²To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not
exceed the rated load capacity of your cross rail system
or the roof rack system maximum load capacity of 150
lbs (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as
possible and secure the load appropriately.
²Long loads which extend over the windshield, such
as wood panels or surfboards, should be secured to
both the front and rear of the vehicle.
²Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully
when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack.
Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck
traffic, can add sudden upward loads. This is espe-
cially true on large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.

the battery charge may be too low to start the engine.
With the engine running, the normal operating range is
between 11 and 15 volts. Prolonged gage readings be-
tween 9-11 (undercharge) or above 15 (overcharge) indi-
cate possible malfunction of the generator, voltage regu-
lator or battery. See your dealer if such signs occur.

CAUTION!
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer
pointer in the red area. Engine damage will occur.

beam. Pull the multi-function control lever to-
wards the steering wheel to switch the headlights from

stays on through several typical driving cycles. In most
situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not
require towing.
When the engine is running, the ªMalfunction Indicator
Lightº may flash to alert of serious conditions that could
lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic
converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as
