Quadra-Lift™ - If Equipped; When To Use 4Wd Low Range - If Equipped; Driving Through Water - Jeep 2012 Grand Cherokee Owner's Manual

Quadra-Lift™ – If Equipped
When off-roading, it is recommended that the lowest
useable vehicle height that will clear the current obstacle
or terrain be selected. The vehicle height should then be
raised as required by the changes in terrain.
The Selec-Terrain™ switch will automatically change the
vehicle to the optimized height based on the Selec-
Terrain™ switch position. The vehicle height can be
changed from the default height for each Selec-Terrain™
mode by normal use of the air suspension switches. Refer
to "Quadra-Lift™ – If Equipped" in "Starting and Oper-
ating" for further information.
When To Use 4WD LOW Range – If Equipped
When off-road driving, shift to 4WD LOW for additional
traction. This range should be limited to extreme situa-
tions such as deep snow, mud, or sand where additional
low speed pulling power is needed. Vehicle speeds in
excess of 25 mph (40 km/h) should be avoided when in
4WD LOW range.
CAUTION!
Do not use 4WD LOW range when operating the
vehicle on dry pavement. Driveline hardware dam-
age can result.
