instrument panel JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2020 Owner handbook (in English)

The Rain Sensing system has protection fea-
tures for the wiper blades and arms, and will
not operate under the following conditions:
•Low Ambient Temperature— When the igni-
tion is first turned ON, the Rain Sensing
system will not operate until the wiper
switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater
than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the outside tem-
perature is greater than 32°F (0°C).
•Transmission In NEUTRAL Position— When
the ignition is ON, and the automatic trans-
mission is in the NEUTRAL position, the
Rain Sensing system will not operate until
the wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed is
greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the gear
selector is moved out of the NEUTRAL
position.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on
the multifunction lever on the left side of the
steering column. The rear wiper/washer is
operated by rotating a switch, located at the
middle of the lever.Rotate the center portion of the lever upward
to the first detent for intermittent operation
and to the second detent for continuous rear
wiper operation.
Rotating the center portion upward once
more will activate the washer pump which
will continue to operate as long as the switch
is held. Upon release of the switch, the wip-
ers will resume the continuous rear wiper
operation. When this rotary control is in the
OFF position, rotating it downward will acti-
vate the rear washer pump which will con-
tinue to operate as long as the switch is held.
Once the switch is released it will return to
the OFF position and the wipers will cycle
several times before returning to the parked
position.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop if
the switch is held for more than 20 seconds.
Once the switch is released the pump will
resume normal operation.
If the rear wiper is operating when the igni-
tion is turned OFF, the wiper will automati-
cally return to the “park” position.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control System allows you to
regulate the temperature, air flow, and direc-
tion of air circulating throughout the vehicle.
The controls are located on the touchscreen
(if equipped) and on the instrument panel
below the radio.

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Messages
— If Equipped
This engine meets all required diesel engine
emissions standards. To achieve these emis-
sions standards, your vehicle is equipped
with a state-of-the-art engine and exhaust
system. These systems are seamlessly inte-
grated into your vehicle and managed by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM
manages engine combustion to allow the ex-
haust system’s catalyst to trap and burn Par-
ticulate Matter (PM) pollutants, with no input
or interaction on your part.
WARNING!
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you
park over materials that can burn. Such
materials might be grass or leaves coming
WARNING!
into contact with your exhaust system. Do
not park or operate your vehicle in areas
where your exhaust system can contact
anything that can burn.
Your vehicle has the ability to alert you to
additional maintenance required on your ve-
hicle or engine. Refer to the following mes-
sages that may be displayed on your instru-
ment cluster display:
•Exhaust Filter Nearing Full Safely Drive at
Highway Speeds to Clear— This message
will be displayed if the exhaust particulate
filter reaches 80% of its maximum storage
capacity. Under conditions of exclusive
short duration and low speed driving cycles,
your diesel engine and exhaust after-
treatment system may never reach the con-
ditions required to cleanse the filter to
remove the trapped PM. If this occurs, the
“Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at
Highway Speeds to Remedy” message will
be displayed. If this message is displayed,
you will hear one chime to assist in alerting
you of this condition. By simply driving yourvehicle at highway speeds for up to 20 min-
utes, you can remedy the condition in the
particulate filter system and allow your die-
sel engine and exhaust after-treatment sys-
tem to cleanse the filter to remove the
trapped PM and restore the system to nor-
mal operating condition.
•Exhaust System Regeneration in Process Con-
tinue Driving— This message indicates that
the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is self-
cleaning. Maintain your current driving
condition until regeneration is completed.
•Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed
— This message indicates that the Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) self-cleaning is
completed. If this message is displayed,
you will hear one chime to assist in alerting
you of this condition.
•Exhaust System Service Required — See
Dealer— This messages indicates regen-
eration has been disabled due to a system
malfunction. At this point the engine Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) will register a
fault code, the instrument panel will dis-
play a MIL light.
69

CAUTION!
See an authorized dealer, as damage to the
exhaust system could occur soon with con-
tinued operation.
•Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced See
Dealer— This message indicates the PCM
has derated the engine to limit the likeli-
hood of permanent damage to the after-
treatment system. If this condition is not
corrected and a dealer service is not per-
formed, extensive exhaust after-treatment
damage can occur. To correct this condition
it will be necessary to have your vehicle
serviced by an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
Failing to follow the oil change indicator,
changing your oil and resetting the oil change
indicator by 0 miles remaining will prevent
the diesel exhaust filter from performing it's
cleaning routine. This will shortly result in a
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and re-
duced engine power. Only an authorized
dealer will be able to correct this condition.
CAUTION!
See an authorized dealer, as damage to the
exhaust system could occur soon with con-
tinued operation.
Fuel System Messages — If Equipped
The following chart contains a list of different
messages that may appear in the instrument
cluster, depending on different system or fuel
conditions. Use the descriptions to interpret
what the message means and determine the
best action to take.
