Manual Park Release - Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE L 2023 Owner's Manual

In the event it is observed that the temperature
gauge is moving towards or close to the HOT (H)
position, you can reduce the potential for
overheating by taking the appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.

In city traffic — while stopped, place the trans-

mission in NEUTRAL (N), but do not increase the
engine idle speed while preventing vehicle
motion with the brakes.
If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The

A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling
system and turning the A/C off can help remove
this heat.
You can also turn the temperature control to

maximum heat, the mode control to floor and
the blower control to high. This allows the heater
core to act as a supplement to the radiator and
aids in removing heat from the engine cooling
system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage
your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads
"H," pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the
vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until
the pointer drops back into the normal range. If
the pointer remains on the "H" and you hear
continuous chimes, turn the engine off
immediately and call for service.

MANUAL PARK RELEASE

WARNING!
You should be seated in the driver's seat with
your foot firmly placed on the brake pedal to
maintain control of the vehicle before activating
the Manual Park Release. If possible, you should
apply the parking brake. Activating the Manual
Park Release will allow your vehicle to roll away if
it is not secured or properly connected to a tow
vehicle. Activating the Manual Park Release on
an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious
injury or death for those in or around the vehicle.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
To move the vehicle in cases where the
transmission will not shift out of PARK (P) (such as
a depleted battery), a Manual Park Release is
available.
To activate the Manual Park Release, see the
following steps:
1. Apply firm pressure to the brake pedal while
seated in the driver's seat.
2. Apply the Electric Park Brake (EPB), if possible.
3. Using a flathead screwdriver or similar tool,
remove the Manual Park Release access
cover, which is to the lower left of the steering
column.
