Jeep Grand Cherokee Operating Information Manual page 348

NOTE:
Disconnecting your vehicle battery will
erase radio presets and may affect other
vehicle settings. It may also trigger various
fault codes, causing MIL illumination when
the battery is reconnected.
NOTE:
• Steps 1 through 4 are requirements that
must be met before pressing the NEU-
TRAL (N) button, and must continue to be
met until the shift has been completed. If
any of these requirements are not met
before pressing the NEUTRAL (N) button
or are no longer met during the shift, then
the NEUTRAL (N) indicator light will flash
continuously until all requirements are
met or until the NEUTRAL (N) button is
released.
• The ignition must be in the ON/RUN mode
for a shift to take place and for the posi-
tion indicator lights to be operable. If the
ignition is not in the ON/RUN mode, the
shift will not take place and no position
indicator lights will be on or flashing.

• A flashing NEUTRAL (N) position indica-
tor light indicates that shift requirements
have not been met.
• If the vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift
air suspension, the engine should be
started and left running for a minimum of
60 seconds (with all the doors closed) at
least once every 24 hours. This process
allows the air suspension to adjust the
vehicle's ride height to compensate for
temperature effects.
