rear view mirror JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2013 Owner handbook (in English)

MIRRORS
Inside Day/Night MirrorA single ball joint mirror is provided in the
vehicle. It is a twist on mirror that has a fixed
position at the windshield. The mirror installs on
the windshield button with a counterclockwise
rotation and requires no tools for mounting. The
mirror head can be adjusted up, down, left, and
right for various drivers. The mirror should be
adjusted to center on the view through the rear
window.
Headlight glare from vehicles behind you can
be reduced by moving the small control under
the mirror to the night position (toward the rear
of the vehicle). The mirror should be adjusted
while the small control under the mirror is set in
the day position (toward the windshield).
Automatic Dimming Mirror — If
Equipped
This mirror automatically adjusts for headlight
glare from vehicles behind you. You can turn the
feature on or off by pressing the button at the
base of the mirror. A light in the button will
illuminate to indicate when the dimming feature
is activated. The mirror is twisted on the wind-
shield button counterclockwise and requires no
tools for mounting.NOTE:
This feature is disabled when the vehicle is
moving in reverse.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror during clean-
ing, never spray any cleaning solution di-
rectly onto the mirror. Apply the solution onto
a clean cloth and wipe the mirror clean.

Outside MirrorsTo receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside
mirrors to center on the adjacent lane of traffic
with a slight overlap of the view obtained on the
inside mirror.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the pas-
senger side convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than they really are. Rely-
ing too much on your passenger side convex
mirror could cause you to collide with an-
other vehicle or other object. Use your inside
mirror when judging the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the passenger side convex
mirror. Some vehicles will not have a convex
passenger side mirror.
Outside Mirrors Folding FeatureAll outside mirrors are hinged and may be
moved either forward or rearward to resist dam-
age. The hinges have three detent positions:
•full forward
• full rearward and
• normal.
Outside Automatic Dimming
Mirrors — If Equipped
The driver and passenger outside mirrors will
automatically adjust for glare from vehicles be-
hind you. This feature is controlled by the inside
automatic dimming mirror and can be turned on
or off by pressing the button at the base of the
inside mirror. The mirrors will automatically ad-
just for headlight glare when the inside mirror
adjusts.
Power MirrorsThe power mirror switch is located on the
driver’s side door trim panel.
The power mirror controls consist of mirror select
buttons and a four-way mirror control switch. To adjust a mirror, press the mirror select button
for the mirror that you want to adjust. Using the
mirror control switch, press on any of the four
arrows for the direction that you want the mirror to

Voice Command
•For best performance, adjust the rearview
mirror to provide at least ½ in (1 cm) gap
between the overhead console (if equipped)
and the mirror.
• Always wait for the beep before speaking.
• Speak normally, without pausing, just as you
would speak to a person sitting a few feet/
meters away from you.
• Make sure that no one other than you is
speaking during a voice period.
• Performance is maximized under:
• low-to-medium blower setting,
• low-to-medium vehicle speed,
• low road noise,
• smooth road surface,
• fully closed windows,
• dry weather conditions.
• Even though the system is designed for
users speaking in European English, Dutch,
French, German, Italian, or Spanish accents,
the system may not always work for some. •
When navigating through an automated sys-
tem such as voice mail, or when sending a
page, at the end of speaking the digit string,
make sure to say “Send”.
• Storing names in the phonebook when the
vehicle is not in motion is recommended.
• It is not recommended to store similar sound-
ing names in the Uconnect® Phonebook.
• Phonebook (Downloaded and Uconnect®
Phone Local) recognition rate is optimized
when the entries are not similar.
• Numbers must be spoken in single digits.
“800” must be spoken “eight-zero-zero” not
“eight hundred”.
• You can say “O” (letter “O”) for “0” (zero).
• Even though international dialing for most
number combinations is supported, some
shortcut dialing number combinations may
not be supported.
• In a convertible vehicle, system performance
may be compromised with the convertible top
down. Phone Far End Audio Performance
•
Audio quality is maximized under:
• low-to-medium blower setting,
• low-to-medium vehicle speed,
• low road noise,
• smooth road surface,
• fully closed windows,
• dry weather conditions, and
• operation from the driver seat.
• Performance, such as audio clarity, echo,
and loudness to a large degree rely on the
phone and network, and not the Uconnect®
Phone.
• Echo at the phone far end can sometimes be
reduced by lowering the in-vehicle audio
volume.
• In a convertible vehicle, system performance
may be compromised with the convertible top
down.

Automatic Headlights — If EquippedThis system automatically turns the headlights
on or off according to ambient light levels. To
turn the system on, rotate the headlight switch
to the A (AUTO) position.
When the system is on, the Headlight Delay
feature is also on. This means the headlights
will stay on for up to 90 seconds after you turn
the ignition switch to the OFF position. To turn
the automatic headlights off, turn the headlight
switch out of the AUTO position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the head-
lights will turn on in the Automatic Mode.
Headlights On Automatically With
Wipers
If your vehicle is equipped with Automatic Head-
lights, it also has this customer-programmable
feature. When your headlights are in the auto-
matic mode and the engine is running, they will
automatically turn on when the wiper system is
on. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Customer-Programmable Features” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
If your vehicle is equipped with a “Rain Sensi-
tive Wiper System” and it is activated, the
headlights will automatically turn on after the
wipers complete five wipe cycles within approxi-
mately one minute, and they will turn off ap-
proximately four minutes after the wipers com-
pletely stop. Refer to “Windshield Wipers and
Washers” in this section for further information.
NOTE:
When your headlights come on during the
daytime, the instrument panel lights will
automatically dim to the lower nighttime
intensity. Refer to “Lights” in this section for
further information.
SmartBeam™ — If EquippedThe SmartBeam™ system provides increased
forward lighting at night by automating high beam
control through the use of a digital camera
mounted on the inside rearview mirror. This cam-
era detects vehicle specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
•If the windshield or SmartBeam™ mirror
is replaced, the SmartBeam™ mirror must
be re-aimed to ensure proper perfor-
mance. See your local authorized dealer.
• Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights
and taillights of vehicles in the field of
view will cause headlights to remain on
longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt,
film, and other obstructions (sticker, toll
box, etc.) on the windshield or camera
lens will cause the system to function
improperly.
To Activate
1. Enable the Automatic High Beams. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/
Customer-Programmable Features” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation.
2. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO head-
light position.
3. Push the multifunction lever away from you
(toward front of vehicle) to engage the high
beam mode.

VERSE. To make your selection, press and
release the SELECT button until a check-mark
appears next to the feature showing the system
has been activated or the check-mark is re-
moved showing the system has been deacti-
vated.Auto High Beams (Available with
SmartBeam™ Only)
When this feature is selected, the high beam
headlights will deactivate automatically under
certain conditions. To make your selection,
press and release the SELECT button until a
check-mark appears next to the feature show-
ing the system has been activated or the check-
mark is removed showing the system has been
deactivated. Refer to “Lights/SmartBeam™ — If
Equipped” in “Understanding The Features Of
Your Vehicle” for further information.
Wiper Mode — If Equipped
When this feature is selected, the system will
automatically activate the windshield wipers if it
senses moisture on the windshield. To make
your selection, press and release the SELECT
button until a check-mark appears next to the
feature showing the system has been activated
or the check-mark is removed showing the
system has been deactivated. When this fea-
ture is deactivated, the system reverts to the
standard intermittent wiper operation.
Easy Entry/Exit Seat (Available with
Memory Seat Only)
This feature provides automatic driver seat po-
sitioning to enhance driver mobility when enter-
ing and exiting the vehicle. To make your selec-
tion, press and release the SELECT button until
a check-mark appears next to the feature show-
ing the system has been activated or the check-
mark is removed showing the system has been
deactivated.
NOTE:
The seat will return to the memorized seat
location (if Recall Memory with Remote Key
Unlock is set to ON) when the RKE transmit-
ter is used to unlock the door. Refer to
“Driver Memory Seat” in “Understanding
The Features Of Your Vehicle” for further

Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a
regular basis with MOPAR® Glass Cleaner, or
any commercial household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner. Use cau-
tion when cleaning the inside rear window
equipped with electric defrosters or the right
rear quarter window equipped with the radio
antenna. Do not use scrapers or other sharp
instrument that may scratch the elements.
When cleaning the rear view mirror, spray
cleaner on the towel or rag that you are using.
Do not spray cleaner directly on the mirror.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this
vehicle are molded in clear plastic. When clean-
ing the lenses, care must be taken to avoid
scratching the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild soap
solution may be used, but do not use high
alcohol content or abrasive cleaners. If soap is
used, wipe clean with a clean damp rag.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with
chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will
weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also
weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Do not remove the
belts from the car to wash them. Dry with a soft
cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn
or if the buckles do not work properly.
