Stop/Start System - If Equipped; Automatic Mode - Jeep Grand Cherokee 2020 Owner's Manual

Alternate electric power steering efforts can be
selected through the Uconnect System. Refer to
"Customer Programmable Features" in
"Multimedia" for further information.
If the Electric Power Steering warning
icon is displayed and the "SERVICE
POWER STEERING" or the "POWER
STEERING ASSIST OFF – SERVICE
SYSTEM" message is displayed within the
instrument cluster display, this indicates the
vehicle needs to be taken to the dealer for
service. Refer to "Warning Lights And
Messages" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for further information.
NOTE:
Even if the power steering assistance is no

longer operational, it is still possible to steer
the vehicle. Under these conditions there will
be a substantial increase in steering effort,
especially at low speeds and during parking
maneuvers.
If the condition persists, see an authorized

dealer for service.
If the Steering icon is displayed and the
"POWER STEERING SYSTEM OVER TEMP"
message is displayed on the instrument cluster
screen, they indicate that extreme steering
maneuvers may have occurred which caused
an over temperature condition in the power
steering system. Once driving conditions are
safe, pull over and let the vehicle idle for a few
moments until the icon and message turn off.
STOP/START SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Stop/Start function is developed to reduce
fuel consumption. The system will stop the
engine automatically during a vehicle stop if the
required conditions are met. Releasing the
brake pedal or pressing the accelerator pedal
will automatically re-start the engine.
This vehicle has been upgraded with a heavy
duty starter, enhanced battery, and other
upgraded engine parts, to handle the additional
engine starts.

Automatic Mode

The Stop/Start feature is enabled
after every normal customer engine
start. At that time, the system will go
into STOP/START READY and if all
other conditions are met, can go into a
STOP/START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE "Autostop"
mode.

Your Instrument Panel" for further
information.




brake pedal depressed.
