ESP JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2017 WK2 / 4.G Owner's Guide

Four-Wheel Drive Models
The manufacturer recommends towing with
all wheelsOFFthe ground. Acceptable meth-
ods are to tow the vehicle on a flatbed or with
one end of vehicle raised and the opposite
end on a towing dolly.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the
transfer case is operable, vehicles with a
two-speed transfer case may be towed (in the
forward direction, with ALLwheels on the
ground), IFthe transfer case is in NEUTRAL
(N) and the transmission is in PARK. Refer to
“Recreational Towing” for detailed instruc-
tions.
Vehicles equipped with a single-speed trans-
fer case have no NEUTRAL position, and
therefore mustbe towed with all four wheels
OFF the ground.
CAUTION!
• Front or rear wheel lifts must not be
used. Internal damage to the transmis-
sion or transfer case will occur if a front
or rear wheel lift is used when towing.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or transfer case dam-
age. Damage from improper towing is
not covered under the New Vehicle Lim-
ited Warranty.
ENHANCED ACCIDENT
RESPONSE SYSTEM (EARS)
This vehicle is equipped with an Enhanced
Accident Response System.
Please refer to “Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) — Air Bags” in “Occupant Re- straints” for further information on the En-
hanced Accident Response System (EARS)
function.
EVENT DATA RECORDER
(EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems per-
formed.
Please refer to “Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) — Air Bags” in “Occupant Re-
straints” for further information on the Event
Data Recorder (EDR).

WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous.
Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stop-
ping distance. Use tires of the recom-
mended load capacity for your vehicle.
Never overload them.
Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially alumi-
num and chrome plated wheels, should be
cleaned regularly using mild (neutral Ph)
soap and water to maintain their luster and to
prevent corrosion. Wash wheels with the
same soap solution recommended for the
body of the vehicle.
Your wheels are susceptible to deterioration
caused by salt, sodium chloride, magnesium
chloride, calcium chloride, etc., and other
road chemicals used to melt ice or control
dust on dirt roads. Use a soft cloth or sponge
and mild soap to wipe away promptly. Do notuse harsh chemicals or a stiff brush. They
can damage the wheel’s protective coating
that helps keep them from corroding and
tarnishing.
NOTE:
Many aftermarket wheel cleaners contain
strong acids or strong alkaline additives that
can harm the wheel surface.
CAUTION!
Avoid products or automatic car washes
that use acidic solutions or strong alkaline
additives or harsh brushes. These prod-
ucts and automatic car washes may dam-
age the wheel's protective finish. Such
damage is not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty. Only car wash soap,
MOPAR Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is
recommended.
When cleaning extremely dirty wheels includ-
ing excessive brake dust, care must be taken
in the selection of tire and wheel cleaning
chemicals and equipment to prevent damage
to the wheels. Mopar Wheel Treatment or
Mopar Chrome Cleaner or their equivalent is recommended or select a non-abrasive, non-
acidic cleaner for aluminum or chrome
wheels. Do not use any products on Dark
Vapor or Black Satin Chrome Wheels. They
will permanently damage this finish and such
damage is not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a
bristle brush, metal polishes or oven
cleaner. These products may damage the
wheel's protective finish. Such damage is
not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. Only car wash soap, MOPAR
Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recom-
mended.
NOTE:
If you intend parking or storing your vehicle
for an extended period after cleaning the
wheels with wheel cleaner, drive your vehicle
for a few minutes before doing so. Driving the
vehicle and applying the brakes when stop-
ping will reduce the risk of brake rotor corro-
sion.

Dark Vapor Or Black Satin Chrome Wheels
CAUTION!
If your vehicle is equipped with Dark Vapor
or Black Satin Chrome wheels DO NOT
USE wheel cleaners, abrasives or polishing
compounds. They will permanently dam-
age this finish and such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty. USE ONLY MILD SOAP AND WATER
WITH A SOFT CLOTH. Used on a regular
basis this is all that is required to maintain
this finish.
Tire Chains (Traction Devices)
Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-
to-body clearance. Follow these recommen-
dations to guard against damage.
• Traction device must be of proper size forthe tire, as recommended by the traction
device manufacturer.
• Install on Rear Tires Only • Due to limited clearance, Thule XG-12 Pro
or equivalent is recommended on P245/
70/R17, P265/60R18 or
265/50R20 tires.
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type (M+S,
Snow) between front and rear axles can
cause unpredictable handling. You could
lose control and have a collision.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:
• Because of restricted traction deviceclearance between tires and other sus-
pension components, it is important that
only traction devices in good condition
are used. Broken devices can cause se-
rious damage. Stop the vehicle immedi-
ately if noise occurs that could indicate
device breakage. Remove the damaged
parts of the device before further use.
CAUTION!
• Install device as tightly as possible andthen retighten after driving about ½ mile
(0.8 km).
• Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns
and large bumps, especially with a
loaded vehicle.
• Do not drive for a prolonged period on
dry pavement.
• Observe the traction device manufactur-
er’s instructions on the method of instal-
lation, operating speed, and conditions
for use. Always use the suggested oper-
ating speed of the device manufacturer’s
if it is less than 30 mph (48 km/h).
• Do not use traction devices on a com-
pact spare tire.
Tire Rotation Recommendations
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle
operate at different loads and perform differ-
ent steering, handling, and braking func-
tions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal
rates.
265

These effects can be reduced by timely rota-
tion of tires. The benefits of rotation are
especially worthwhile with aggressive tread
designs such as those on On/Off-Road type
tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to
maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels,
and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” for the
proper maintenance intervals. More frequent
rotation is permissible if desired. The reasons
for any rapid or unusual wear should be
corrected prior to rotation being performed.
NOTE:
The premium Tire Pressure Monitor System
will automatically locate the pressure values
displayed in the correct vehicle position fol-
lowing a tire rotation.
The suggested rotation method is the
“rearward-cross” shown in the following dia-
gram.
DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION
UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY
GRADES
The following tire grading categories were
established by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration. The specific grade
rating assigned by the tire's manufacturer in
each category is shown on the sidewall of the
tires on your vehicle.
All passenger vehicle tires must conform to
Federal safety requirements in addition to
these grades.
Treadwear
The Treadwear grade is a comparative rating,
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half
times as well on the government course as a
tire graded 100. The relative performance of
tires depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart signifi-
cantly from the norm due to variations in
driving habits, service practices, and differ-
ences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction Grades
The Traction grades, from highest to lowest,
are AA, A, B, and C. These grades represent
the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement, as
measured under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.

CAUTION!
• Do not use abrasive or strong cleaningmaterials such as steel wool or scouring
powder that will scratch metal and
painted surfaces.
• Use of power washers exceeding
1,200 psi (8 274 kPa) can result in
damage or removal of paint and decals.
Special Care
• If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if
you drive near the ocean, hose off the
undercarriage at least once a month.
• It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges of the doors, rocker panels,
and trunk be kept clear and open.
• If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately.
The cost of such repairs is considered the
responsibility of the owner.
• If your vehicle is damaged due to a colli- sion or similar cause that destroys the
paint and protective coating, have your vehicle repaired as soon as possible. The
cost of such repairs is considered the re-
sponsibility of the owner.
•
If you carry special cargo such as chemicals,
fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such
materials are well packaged and sealed.
•If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads,
consider mud or stone shields behind each
wheel.
• Use MOPAR Touch Up Paint on scratches as soon as possible. Your authorized dealer
has touch up paint to match the color of
your vehicle.
INTERIORS
Seats And Fabric Parts
Use MOPAR Total Clean to clean fabric up-
holstery and carpeting.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flammable,
and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.
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 vehicle 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.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a
collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immedi-
ately. Do not disassemble or modify the
system. Seat belt assemblies must be re-
placed after a collision if they have been
damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn web-
bing, etc.).
