center console JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2016 WK2 / 4.G User Guide

Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start, the heated seats can be programmed
to come on during a remote start.
This feature can be programmed through the Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's Manual on the
DVD.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition must exercise care when using the seat heater.
It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods
of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in
a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased
surface temperature of the seat.
Rear Heated Seats
On some models, the two outboard seats are equipped with heated seats. The heated
seat switches for these seats are located on the rear of the center console. There are
two heated seat switches
that allow the rear passengers to operate the seats
independently.
You can choose from HI, LO or OFF heat settings. The indicator lights in each switch
indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator lights will illuminate for HI, one for LO
and none for OFF.
• Push the heated seat button
once to select HI-level heating.
• Push the heated seat button
a second time to select LO-level heating.
• Push the heated seat button
a third time to turn the heating elements OFF.
NOTE:
• Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt within two to five minutes.
• The engine must be running for the heated seats to operate.
If the HI-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switch to LO-level
after approximately 60 minutes of continuous operation. At that time, the number of
illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. The LO-level
setting will turn OFF automatically after approximately 45 minutes.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER (HomeLink)
• HomeLink replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that operate devices
such as garage door openers, motor-
ized gates, lighting or home security
systems. The HomeLink unit is pow-
ered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
• The HomeLink buttons that are lo- cated in the overhead console or sun-
visor designate the three different
HomeLink channels.
• The HomeLink indicator is located above the center button.
Before You Begin Programming HomeLink
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage before you begin program-
ming.
For efficient programming and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal,
it is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the
device that is being programmed to the HomeLink system.
To erase the channels, place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position, then push
and hold the two outside HomeLink buttons (I and III) for up to 20 seconds or until
the red indicator flashes.
NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink for the
first time. Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.
If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at HomeLink.com for information or assistance.

door (or device) should activate when the HomeLink button is pushed.
6. To program the two remaining HomeLink buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.
Using HomeLink
To operate, push and release the programmed HomeLink button. Activation will now
occur for the programmed device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security
system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held transmitter of the
device may also be used at any time.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming theuniversal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming
the transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled
and can cause you and others to be severely injured or killed.
POWER INVERTER
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter outlet located on the back of the center
console. This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power
devices requiring power up to 150 Watts.
NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with
built-in overload protection. If the power
rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the
power inverter will automatically shut
down. Once the electrical device has
been removed from the outlet, the in-
verter should automatically reset. If the
power rating exceeds approximately
170 Watts, the power inverter may have
to be reset manually. To reset the inverter
manually, unplug the device and plug it
in again. To avoid overloading the circuit,
check the power ratings on electrical de-
vices prior to using the inverter.
