Introduction - Jeep Grand Cherokee Operating Information Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on selecting your new FCA US
LLC vehicle. Be assured that it represents pre-
cision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high
quality - all essentials that are traditional to our
vehicles.
This is a specialized utility vehicle. It can go
places and perform tasks that conventional
passenger cars are not intended. It handles and
maneuvers differently from many passenger
cars both on-road and off-road, so take time to
become familiar with your vehicle.
The two-wheel drive version of this vehicle was
designed for on-road use only. It is not intended
for off-road driving or use in other severe con-
ditions suited for a four-wheel drive vehicle.
Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the
Owner's Manual and all the Supplements. Be
sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls,
particularly those used for braking, steering,
and transmission and transfer case shifting.
Learn how your vehicle handles on different
road surfaces. Your driving skills will improve
with experience, but as in driving any vehicle,
take it easy as you begin. When driving off-road
4
or working the vehicle, don't overload it or
expect it to overcome the forces of nature.
Always observe local laws wherever you drive.
As with other vehicles of this type, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss
of control or a collision. Be sure to read the
"On-Road/ Off-Road Driving Tips" in "Starting
And Operating" for further information.
NOTE:
After reviewing the owner information, it
should be stored in the vehicle for conve-
nient referencing and remain with the ve-
hicle when sold.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control or a collision.
Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds or
while intoxicated may result in loss of control,
collision with other vehicles or objects, going off
the road, or overturning; any of which may lead
to serious injury or death. Also, failure to use
seat belts subjects the driver and passengers to
a greater risk of injury or death.
To keep your vehicle running at its best, have
your vehicle serviced at recommended intervals
by an authorized dealer or distributor who has
the qualified personnel, special tools and equip-
ment to perform all service.
The manufacturer and its distributors are vitally
interested in your complete satisfaction with this
vehicle. If you encounter a service or warranty
problem which is not resolved to your satisfac-
tion, discuss the matter with your authorized
dealer or distributor's management.
Your authorized dealer or distributor will be
happy to assist you with any questions about
your vehicle.
ROLLOVER WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll-
over rate than other types of vehicles. This
vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a
higher center of gravity than many passenger
vehicles. It is capable of performing better in a
wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in
an unsafe manner, all vehicles can go out of
control. Because of the higher center of gravity,
if this vehicle is out of control it may roll over
when some other vehicles may not.
