warning JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2014 WK2 / 4.G Workshop Manual

TIRE PRESSURES
Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly
and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading
Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD
for more information regarding tire warn-
ings and instructions.
WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure,
affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-
inflation increases tire flexing and can result in over-heating and tire failure.
Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and
chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire
pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control. Always drive with each tire
inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should
be cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use MOPAR
®Wheel Cleaner or
equivalent or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle.
Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in
a collision and personal injury. Chrysler Group LLC strongly recommends
that the driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature
that may take their attention off the road. Use of any electrical devices
such as cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or
other devices by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and
could lead to a serious collision. Texting while driving is also dangerous
and should never be done while the vehicle is moving. If you find yourself
unable to devote your full attention to vehicle operation, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop your vehicle. Some States or Provinces
prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is
always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
Driving after drinking can lead to a collision. Your perceptions are
less sharp, your reflexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired
when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.
WARNING!
If you are the first registered retail owner of
your vehicle, you may obtain a complimentary
printed copy of the Owner’s Manual, Navigation/
Uconnect® Manuals or Warranty Booklet by calling
1-877-426-5337 (U.S.) or 1-800-387-1143 (Canada)
or by contacting your dealer.
This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly
acquainted with your new Jeep and to provide a convenient
reference source for common questions. However, it is not
a substitute for your Owner’s Manual.
For complete operational instructions, maintenance
procedures and important safety messages, please consult
your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect® Manuals and
other Warning Labels in your vehicle.
Not all features shown in this guide may apply to your
vehicle. For additional information on accessories to help
personalize your vehicle, visit www.mopar.com (U.S.),
www.mopar.ca (Canada) or your local Jeep dealer.
Important:
This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the important features
of your vehicle. The DVD enclosed contains your Owner’s Manual,
Navigation/Uconnect® Manuals, Warranty Booklets, Tire Warranty and
Roadside Assistance (new vehicles purchased in the U.S.) or Roadside
Assistance (new vehicles purchased in Canada) in electronic format.
We hope you find it useful. Replacement DVD kits may be purchased by
visiting www.techauthority.com. Jeep® is a registered trademark of
Chrysler Group LLC. © 2014 Chrysler Group LLC.
Driving and Alcohol:
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of collisions. Your
driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels far below
the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated
non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.
