Fuel Saver Technology 5.7L Engine Only - If Equipped; Parking Brake - Jeep grand cherokee 2016 Operating Information Manual

FUEL SAVER TECHNOLOGY
5.7L ENGINE ONLY — IF
EQUIPPED
This feature offers improved fuel economy by
shutting off four of the engine's eight cylinders
during light load and cruise conditions. The
system is automatic with no driver inputs or
additional driving skills required.
NOTE:
This system may take some time to return to
full functionality after a battery disconnect.

PARKING BRAKE

Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the
parking brake is fully applied and place the shift
lever in the PARK position.
The foot operated parking brake is located
below the lower left corner of the instrument
panel. To apply the park brake, firmly push the
park brake pedal fully. To release the parking
brake, press the park brake pedal a second
time and let your foot up as you feel the brake
disengage.
Parking Brake
When the parking brake is applied with the
ignition switch in the ON position, the "Brake"
Warning Light in the instrument cluster will
illuminate.
NOTE:
• When the parking brake is applied and the
transmission is placed in gear, the
"Brake" Warning Light will flash. If vehicle
speed is detected, a chime will sound to
alert the driver. Fully release the parking
brake before attempting to move the ve-
hicle.
• This light only shows that the parking
brake is applied. It does not show the
degree of brake application.
When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the
front wheels toward the curb on a downhill
grade and away from the curb on an uphill
grade. Apply the parking brake before placing
the shift lever in PARK, otherwise the load on
the transmission locking mechanism may make
it difficult to move the shift lever out of PARK.
The parking brake should always be applied
whenever the driver is not in the vehicle.
WARNING!
• Never use the PARK position as a substi-
tute for the parking brake. Always apply
the parking brake fully when parked to
guard against vehicle movement and pos-
sible injury or damage.
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the Key Fob from the ignition and lock your
vehicle.
