radio antenna JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2010 Owner handbook (in English)

NOTE:
•To help control wind noise when the
crossbars are not in use, place the front
and rear crossbars approximately 24 in
(61 cm) apart. Optimal noise reduction
can then be achieved by adjusting the
front crossbar forward or aft using incre-
ments of 1 in (2.5 cm).
• If the rear crossbar (or any metallic ob-
ject) is placed over the satellite radio
antenna (if equipped), you may experi-
ence interruption of satellite radio recep-
tion. For improved satellite radio recep-
tion, avoid placing the rear crossbar over
the satellite radio antenna.
• The grab handles on the back of the
vehicle (if equipped) are not to be used as
a towing feature.CAUTION!
• To prevent damage to the roof of your
vehicle, do not carry any loads on the roof
rack without the crossbars installed. The
load should be secured and placed on top
of the crossbars, 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.
• To avoid damage to the roof rack and
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof
rack load capacity of 150 lbs (68 kg).
Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as
possible and secure the load appropriately.
• Long loads which extend over the wind-
shield, such as wood panels or surfboards,
or loads with large frontal area should be
secured to both the front and rear of the
vehicle.
(Continued)CAUTION!(Continued)
• Travel 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 lift to a load. This is
especially true on large flat loads and may
result in damage to the cargo or your
vehicle.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before driving
your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly
off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds,
resulting in personal injury or property dam-
age. Follow the roof rack cautions when car-
rying cargo on your roof rack.

which mode you are in.
The following describes the left-hand control
operation in each mode.
Radio OperationPressing the top of the switch will “Seek” up for
the next listenable station and pressing the
bottom of the switch will “Seek” down for the
next listenable station.
The button located in the center of the left-hand
control will tune to the next preset station that
you have programmed in the radio preset
pushbutton.
CD PlayerPressing the top of the switch once will go to
the next track on the CD. Pressing the bottom of
the switch once will go to the beginning of the
current track, or to the beginning of the previ-
ous track if it is within one second after the
current track begins to play.
If you press the switch up or down twice, it
plays the second track; three times, it will play
the third, etc.The center button on the left side rocker switch
has no function for a single-disc CD player.
However, when a multiple-disc CD player is
equipped on the vehicle, the center button will
select the next available CD in the player.
CD/DVD DISC MAINTENANCETo keep a CD/DVD in good condition, take the
following precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid touching
the surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the surface with
a soft cloth, wiping from center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper or tape to the disc; avoid
scratching the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as benzene, thin-
ner, cleaners, or anti-static sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after playing.
6. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.
7. Do not store the disc where temperatures
may become too high.
NOTE:
If you experience difficulty in playing a par-
ticular disc, it may be damaged (i.e.,
scratched, reflective coating removed, a
hair, moisture or dew on the disc) oversized,
or have protection encoding. Try a known
good disc before considering disc player
service.
RADIO OPERATION AND MOBILE
PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile phone
being on in your vehicle can cause erratic or
noisy performance from your radio. This condi-
tion may be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This condition is
not harmful to the radio. If your radio perfor-
mance does not satisfactorily “clear” by the
repositioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be turned down
or off during mobile phone operation.
CLIMATE CONTROLSThe Air Conditioning and Heating System is
designed to make you comfortable in all types
of weather.
