Eight-Speed Automatic Transmission - Jeep grand cherokee 2015 Owner's Manual

430 STARTING AND OPERATING
• The torque converter clutch may engage at lower
engine speeds and remain on longer.
• The overall driving performance will be more conser-
vative.
• Vehicles with Quadra-Lift™ air suspension will oper-
ate in Aero mode over a broader speed range. Refer
to Quadra-Lift™ in Starting and Operating for
further information.
• Some ECO mode functions may be temporarily inhib-
ited based on temperature and other factors.
Active Noise Cancellation — Summit Models Only
Your vehicle is equipped with an Active Noise Cancella-
tion System. This system uses four microphones embed-
ded in the headliner to detect undesirable exhaust noise.
An onboard frequency generator creates counteracting
sound waves through the audio system to help keep the
vehicle quiet.
Eight–Speed Automatic Transmission
The electronic shift lever in this vehicle does not slide like
a conventional shifter. Instead, the shift lever is spring
loaded and moves forward and rearward, always return-
ing to the center position after each gear is selected. The
transmission gear (PRND) is displayed both on the shift
lever and in the Driver Information Display (DID). To
select a gear range, press the lock button on the shift lever
and move the lever rearward or forward. You must also
press the brake pedal to shift the transmission out of
PARK, or to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or RE-
VERSE when the vehicle is stopped or moving at low
speeds (refer to "Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock Sys-
tem" in this section). To shift past multiple gear ranges at
once (such as PARK to DRIVE), move the lever past the
first (or second) detent. Select the DRIVE range for
normal driving.
