warning JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2023 Owners Manual

172STARTING AND OPERATING
If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
detects a vehicle in the adjacent lane, and the
turn signal is applied in that direction, the BSM
LED on the mirror will flash. If the driver
continues to attempt the lane change, steering
wheel torque will be provided to keep the
vehicle within its lane markings.
The driver may manually override the steering
assist warning by applying force to the steering
wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and
the driver drifts across the lane marking (no turn
signal applied), the Active Lane Management
system provides a visual warning in the instrument
cluster, as well as a steering assist torque (if
configured in Uconnect Settings), to prompt the
driver to remain within the lane boundaries. If the
driver continues to drift out of the lane, the system
provides a flashing visual warning through the
instrument cluster display as well as a haptic
steering wheel vibration (if configured in Uconnect
Settings) when the vehicle crosses the lane
boundary.
NOTE:When operating conditions have been met, the
Active Lane Management system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and
provides an audible and visual warning to the
driver if removed. The system will cancel if the
driver does not return their hands to the wheel.

Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
When the system is on and only the left lane
marking has been detected, and the system is
ready to provide visual warnings in the instru-
ment cluster display and a vibration and/or
steering assist warning in the steering wheel if a
lane departure occurs, the left lane line will be
green.
When the system senses the lane line has been
approached (but not crossed), the left lane line
will change to solid yellow and the system will
provide a haptic steering wheel vibration and/or
steering assist torque (if programmed in
Uconnect Settings).
When the system senses the lane line is being
crossed, the left lane line will change to flashing
yellow.

Lane Crossed (Flashing Yellow Line)

NOTE:The Active Lane Management system operates
with similar behavior for a right lane departure
when only the right lane marking has been
detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
When the system is on, the lane lines turn from
gray to green to indicate that both of the lane
markings have been detected. When both lane
markings have been detected, the system is
ready to provide visual warnings in the instru -
ment cluster display and a vibration and/or
steering assist warning in the steering wheel if a
lane departure occurs.
Lanes Sensed (Green Lines)

When the system senses a lane drift situation,
the left lane line turns solid yellow. At this time,
steering assist warning is applied 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.

Lane Drift (Solid Yellow Line)
When the system senses the lane line is being
crossed, the left lane line changes from solid
yellow to flashing yellow (on/off). At this time,
vibration is applied to the steering wheel.
For example: If approaching the left side of the
lane, the steering wheel will turn to the right.

Vision assessment.
The two categories of Night Vision warnings are
Pedestrian Warnings and Animal Warnings. A Pedestrian or Animal Warning is considered
either Level 1 or Level 2. Level 1 warnings are
yellow, and Level 2 warnings are red. The colors
are not configurable.
Level 1 Warnings:
Yellow telltale in the instrument cluster display
Yellow highlights around the detected pedes
-
trian/animal
Occurs when the vehicle is moving at speeds
greater than 8 mph (13 km/h) and the target is
in or approaching the vehicle path
Level 2 Warnings:
Red telltale in the instrument cluster display
Red highlights around the detected pedestrian/
animal
Occurs when the vehicle is moving at speeds
greater than 8 mph (13 km/h) and a collision
with the detected pedestrian/animal is possible
The pedestrian/animal is directly in the vehicle
path, close to the headlight area
A video pop-up will display when there is a target
detected and the instrument cluster display is
not showing the Night Vision page
A chime will sound for a Level 2 Warning detec-
tion event
Only one telltale can be displayed at a time based
upon priority.
The priority order of the warnings from highest to
lowest is:

1. Pedestrian Warning Level 2

2. Animal Warning Level 2
3. Pedestrian Warning Level 1
4. Animal Warning Level 1
Level 2 Warnings may display in the Head Up
Display (if equipped).
NOTE:If the vehicle is stopped, or slowing down, all Level
2 warnings become Level 1 warnings.
You can enable or disable the warnings within the
Uconnect system Ú page 204.
If the warnings are off, the telltales, chimes, and
warning messages will all be off. Pedestrians and
animals can still be detected by the system, but
there will be no warnings.

23_WL_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 178

STARTING AND OPERATING179
(Continued)
The Night Vision alert status telltale will
be gray when the warnings are
suppressed. The telltale will also turn
gray to indicate that the alerts are
suppressed due to environmental factors (e.g.
daylight hours, external temperature is greater
than 86°F (30°C)) or if the gear selector is in
REVERSE. When the Night Vision alerts are active,
the telltale will be green Ú page 108.
Camera Washers
When the front window washer is activated, the
Night Vision camera will also be washed
Ú page 64.
DETECTION RANGE
The system can detect people 4 ft (1.25 m) tall or
greater in the upright position. The system can also
detect animals that are four-legged and 3 ft (1 m)
tall or greater in the upright position.
The detection distance for the system is between
26 ft (8 m) and 328 ft (100 m) from the front of the
vehicle.
The system may not be able to detect pedestrians
or animals in the following situations:
Pedestrian/animal is outside of the detection
range
Pedestrian/animal is fully or partially covered
Pedestrian/animal does not reach the minimum
detection height
NOTE:Other objects on the road that meet the height/
shape/temperature (e.g. sun exposure) of pedes -
trians/animals may be detected and classified as
targets.
WARNING!
Do not jerk the steering wheel in response to
a warning.
Never attempt to swerve around animals if
doing so would endanger you or others.
Do not stare at the image while driving. You
could crash and you or others could be
injured.
The Night Vision system only provides alerts to
objects of interest and cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver’s personal judgment.
The warnings are meant to direct your atten-
tion to the detected objects, but the Night
Vision system does not automatically brake
the vehicle and may not provide a warning
with enough time to help avoid a crash.
Warnings are only provided if a pedestrian or
large animal is detected by the system.
It is always the driver’s responsibility to be
attentive of road, traffic, and weather condi -
tions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead, and most importantly, brake opera -
tion, to ensure safe operation of the vehicle
under all road conditions. Your complete
attention is always required while driving to
maintain safe control of your vehicle.

VEHICLE LOADING
GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING
(GVWR)
The GVWR is the total permissible weight of your
vehicle including driver, passengers, vehicle,
options and cargo. The Vehicle Certification Label
specifies maximum capacities of front and rear axle systems (GAWR). Total load must be limited so
GVWR and front and rear GAWR are not exceeded.
PAYLOAD
The payload of a vehicle is defined as the allowable
load weight a truck can carry, including the weight
of the driver, all passengers and cargo.
GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum permissible load on the
front and rear axles. The load must be distributed
in the cargo area so that the GAWR of each axle is
not exceeded.
Each axle GAWR is determined by the components
in the system with the lowest load carrying capacity
(axle, springs, tires or wheels). Heavier axles or
suspension components sometimes specified by
purchasers for increased durability do not
necessarily increase the vehicle's GVWR.
TIRE SIZE
The tire size on the Vehicle Certification Label
represents the actual tire size on your vehicle.
Replacement tires must be equal to the load
capacity of this tire size.
RIM SIZE
This is the rim size that is appropriate for the tire
size listed.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or
the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is running.
This is in violation of most state and federal
fire regulations and may cause the Malfunc
-
tion Indicator Light to turn on.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a vehicle.
You could be burned. Always place fuel
containers on the ground while filling.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off” the fuel tank after filling.
