headlights JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2016 WK2 / 4.G User Guide

For the first 1500 miles (2414 km):
• Do not participate in track events, sport driving schools, or similar activities duringthe first 1500 miles (2414 km).
NOTE:
Check engine oil with every refueling and add if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption
may be higher through the first oil change interval.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
The headlight switch is located on the left side of the instrument panel, next to the
steering wheel. The headlight switch controls the operation of the headlights, parking
lights, instrument panel lights, cargo lights and fog lights (if equipped).
To turn on the headlights, rotate the
headlight switch clockwise. When the
headlight switch is on, the parking lights,
taillights, license plate light and instru-
ment panel lights are also turned on. To
turn off the headlights, rotate the head-
light switch back to the O (Off) position.
NOTE:
• Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlight and fog light (if equipped)
lenses that are lighter and less suscep-
tible to stone breakage than glass
lights. Plastic is not as scratch resis-
tant as glass and therefore different
lens cleaning procedures must be fol-
lowed.
• To minimize the possibility of scratch- ing the lenses and reducing light out-
put, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To
remove road dirt, wash with a mild
soap solution followed by rinsing.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel wool or other abrasive
materials to clean the lenses.

Automatic Headlights — If Equipped
This 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 headlights will turn on in the Automatic
Mode.
Automatic High Beam — If Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control 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 camera detects vehicle specific light and
automatically switches from high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle
is out of view.
NOTE:
• The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be turned on or off using theUconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” in the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.
• 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 on the windshield or camera lens will cause the
system to function improperly.
• To opt out of the Advanced Auto High-Beam Sensitivity Control (default) and enter Reduced High-Beam Sensitivity Control (not recommended), toggle highbeam
lever 6 full on/off cycles within 10 seconds of ignition ON. System will return to
default setting upon ignition off.
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control mirror is replaced, the
mirror must be re-aimed to ensure proper performance. See your local authorized
dealer.
Interior Lights
Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when the front doors are opened or when the
dimmer control (rotating wheel on the right side of the headlight switch) is rotated to
its farthest upward position. If your vehicle is equipped with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) and the UNLOCK button is pressed on the RKE transmitter the courtesy and
dome lights will turn on. When a door is open and the interior lights are on, rotating
the dimmer control all the way down, to the OFF detent, will cause all the interior
lights to go out. This is also known as the “Party” mode because it allows the doors
to stay open for extended periods of time without discharging the vehicle’s battery.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

The brightness of the instrument panel lighting can be regulated by rotating the
dimmer control up (brighter) or down (dimmer). When the headlights are on you can
supplement the brightness of the odometer, trip odometer, radio and overhead
console by rotating the control to its farthest position up until you hear a click. This
feature is termed the “Parade” mode and is useful when headlights are required
during the day.
TURN SIGNAL/WIPER/WASHER/HIGH BEAM LEVER
The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the steering column.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows on each side of the
instrument cluster flash to show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or there is a very fast flash rate, check
for a defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is moved,
it would suggest that the indicator bulb is defective.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal
(right or left) will flash three times then automatically turn off.
High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel to switch the headlights to
high beams. Pulling the multifunction back toward the steering wheel will turn the
low beams back on, or shut the high beams off.

Mud– Off road calibration for use on low traction surfaces such as mud. Driveline is
maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving surfaces. The
electronic brake controls are set to limit traction control management of throttle and
wheel spin. If equipped with air suspension, the level will change to Off-Road 1.
Rock – Off-road calibration only available in 4WD Low range. The vehicle is raised (if
equipped with Air Suspension) for improved ground clearance. Traction based tuning
with improved steer-ability for use on high traction off-road surfaces. Activate the Hill
Descent Control for steep downhill control. Use for low speed obstacles such as large
rocks, deep ruts, etc. If equipped with air suspension, the vehicle level will change
to Off-Road 2. If the Selec-Terrain switch is in ROCK mode, and the transfer case is
switched from 4WD Low to 4WD High, the Selec-Terrain system will return to AUTO.
QUADRA-LIFT
The Quadra-Lift air suspension system provides full time load leveling capability
along with the benefit of being able to adjust vehicle height by the push of a button.
Quadra-Lift is available with both Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II.
• The system requires that the engine be running for all changes. When lowering
the vehicle all of the doors, including
the liftgate, must be closed.
• The Quadra-Lift air suspension system uses a lifting and lowering pattern
which keeps the headlights from shin-
ing into oncoming traffic. When raising
the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle will
move up first and then the front. When
lowering the vehicle, the front will
move down first and then the rear.
• After the engine is turned off, you may notice that the air suspension system
operates briefly. This is normal. The
system is correcting the position of the
vehicle.
• To assist with changing a spare tire, the Quadra-Lift air suspension system
has a feature which allows the automatic leveling to be disabled. The feature
controls are located in the radio screen. Driving the vehicle over 5 mph (8 km/h)
will return the air suspension to normal operation.
• An audible chime will be heard whenever a system error has been detected.
