torque JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2017 WK2 / 4.G Owner's Manual

WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if
you leave the vehicle unattended with the
power transfer unit in the NEUTRAL (N)
position without first fully engaging the
parking brake. The NEUTRAL (N) position
disengages both the front and rear drive-
shafts from the powertrain and will allow
the vehicle to roll, even if the transmission
is in PARK. The parking brake should al-
ways be applied when the driver is not in
the vehicle.
4WD LOW
This range is for low speed four-wheel drive. It
provides an additional gear reduction which
allows for increased torque to be delivered to
both the front and rear wheels while providing
maximum pulling power for loose, slippery
road surfaces only. Do not exceed 25 mph
(40 km/h).
NOTE:
Refer to “Selec-Terrain – If Equipped” for
further information on the various positions
and their intended usages.
Shifting Procedures

Quadra-Drive II System — If Equipped
The optional Quadra-Drive II System features
two torque transfer couplings. The couplings
include an Electronic Limited-Slip Differen-
tial (ELSD) rear axle and the Quadra-Trac II
transfer case. The optional ELSD axle is fully
automatic and requires no driver input to
operate. Under normal driving conditions,
the unit functions as a standard axle, balanc-
ing torque evenly between left and right
wheels. With a traction difference between
left and right wheels, the coupling will sense
a speed difference. As one wheel begins to
spin faster than the other, torque will auto-
matically transfer from the wheel that has
less traction, to the wheel that has traction.
While the transfer case and axle coupling
differ in design, their operation is similar.
Follow the Quadra-Trac II transfer case shift-
ing information, preceding this section, for
shifting this system.

LANESENSE
LaneSense Operation
The LaneSense system is operational at
speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below
112 mph (180 km/h). The LaneSense system
uses a forward looking camera to detect lane
markings and measure vehicle position
within the lane boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and
the driver unintentionally drifts out of the
lane (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense
system provides a haptic warning in the form
of torque applied to the steering wheel to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane
boundaries. If the driver continues to unin-
tentionally drift out of the lane, the La-neSense system provides a visual warning
through the instrument cluster display to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane
boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic
warning by applying torque into the steering
wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected
and the driver unintentionally drifts across
the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the
LaneSense system provides a visual warning
through the instrument cluster display to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane.
When only a single lane marking is detected,
a haptic (torque) warning will not be pro-
vided.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met,
the LaneSense system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and
provides an audible warning to the driver
when the driver’s hands are not detected on
the steering wheel. The system will cancel if
the driver does not return their hands to the
wheel.

The default status of LaneSense is “OFF”.
The LaneSense button is located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect display.
To turn the LaneSense system ON, push the
LaneSense button to turn the system ON
(LED turns off). A “Lane Sense On” message
is shown in the instrument cluster display.
To turn the LaneSense system OFF, push the
LaneSense button once to turn the system
OFF (LED turns on).
NOTE:
The LaneSense system will retain the last
system state ON or OFF from the last ignition
cycle when the ignition is changed to the
ON/RUN position.
LaneSense Warning Message
The LaneSense system will indicate the cur-
rent lane drift condition through the instru-
ment cluster display.7.0 Instrument Cluster Display
When the LaneSense system is ON; the lane
lines are gray when both of the lane bound-
aries have not been detected and the La-
neSense indicator is solid white.
Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
• When the LaneSense system is ON, the
LaneSense indicator is solid white when
only the left lane marking has been de-
tected and the system is ready to provide
visual warnings in the instrument cluster
display if an unintentional lane departure
occurs.
• When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes yellow (on/off), the left thin line
remains solid yellow and the LaneSense
indicator changes from solid white to
flashing yellow.
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the
similar behavior for a right lane departure
when only the right lane marking has been
detected. Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
• When the LaneSense system is ON, the
lane lines turn from gray to white to indi-
cate that both of the lane markings have
been detected. The LaneSense indicator
is solid green when both lane markings
have been detected and the system is ON
to provide visual warnings in the instru-
ment cluster display and a torque warning
in the steering wheel if an unintentional
lane departure occurs.
• When the LaneSense system senses a lane drift situation, the left thick lane line and
left thin line turn solid yellow. The La-
neSense indicator changes from solid
green to solid yellow. At this time torque is
applied to the steering wheel in the oppo-
site direction of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of
the lane the steering wheel will turn to the
right.
• When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes yellow (on/off) and the left thin
line remains solid yellow. The LaneSense
indicator changes from solid yellow to
STARTING AND OPERATING
184

flashing yellow. At this time torque is ap-
plied to the steering wheel in the opposite
direction of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of
the lane the steering wheel will turn to the
right.
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the
similar behavior for a right lane departure.
Changing LaneSense Status
The LaneSense system has settings to adjust
the intensity of the torque warning and the
warning zone sensitivity (early/late) that you
can configure through the Uconnect system
screen. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
NOTE:
• When enabled the system operates above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph
(180 km/h).
• Use of the turn signal suppresses the warnings. • The system will not apply torque to the
steering wheel whenever a safety system
engages. (anti-lock brakes, traction con-
trol system, electronic stability control,
forward collision warning, etc.).
PARKVIEW REAR BACK-UP
CAMERA
Symbols And Messages On The Display
You can see an on-screen image of the rear of
your vehicle whenever the transmission is
shifted into REVERSE. The ParkView Rear
Back-Up Camera image will be displayed on
the Uconnect Display, located on the center
stack of the instrument panel.
If the Uconnect Display appears foggy, clean
the camera lens located on the rear of the
vehicle above the rear license plate.
Rear Camera — Viewing At Speed
When the vehicle is in PARK, NEUTRAL or
DRIVE, the Rear View Camera can be acti-
vated with the “Rear View Camera” button in
the Controls menu. This feature allows the
customer to monitor the area directly behind the vehicle (or trailer, if equipped) for up to
ten seconds while at speed. If the vehicle
speed remains below 8 mph (13 km/h), the
Rear View Camera image will be displayed
continuously until deactivated via the “X”
button on the touchscreen.
Refer to “ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera —
If Equipped” in “Starting And Operating” in
your Owner's Manual at

System Overview
This vehicle is equipped with a Diesel Ex-
haust Fluid (DEF) injection system and a
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst
to meet the emission requirements.
The DEF injection system consists of the
following components:
• DEF tank
• DEF pump
• DEF injector
• Electronically-heated DEF lines
• NOx sensors
• Temperature sensors
• SCR catalyst
The DEF injection system and SCR catalyst
enable the achievement of diesel emissions
requirements; while maintaining outstanding
fuel economy, drivability, torque and power
ratings.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
system messages and warnings.NOTE:
• Your vehicle is equipped with a DEF injec-
tion system. You may occasionally hear an
audible clicking noise from under the ve-
hicle at a stop. This is normal operation.
• The DEF pump will run for a period of time after engine shutdown to purge the DEF
system. This is normal operation and may
be audible from the rear of the vehicle.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Storage
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is considered a
very stable product with a long shelf life. If
DEF is kept in temperatures between 10° and
90°F (-12° and 32°C), it will last a minimum
of one year.
DEF is subject to freezing at the lowest tem-
peratures. For example, DEF may freeze at
temperatures at or below 12° F (-11° C). The
system has been designed to operate in this
environment. NOTE:
When working with DEF, it is important to
know that:
• Any containers or parts that come into
contact with DEF must be DEF compatible
(plastic or stainless steel). Copper, brass,
aluminum, iron or non-stainless steel
should be avoided as they are subject to
corrosion by DEF.
• If DEF is spilled, it should be wiped up completely.Adding Diesel Exhaust Fluid
The DEF gauge (located on the instrument
cluster display) will display the level of DEF
remaining in the tank. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel” for further information.
NOTE:
Driving conditions (altitude, vehicle speed,
load, etc.) will effect the amount of DEF that
is used in your vehicle.
