Jeep Grand Cherokee (2019 year). Instruction

CAUTION! (Continued)

• To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not

exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150 lb
(68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as
possible and secure the load appropriately.

• Long loads which extend over the windshield, such

as wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large
frontal area should be secured to both the front and
rear of the vehicle.

• Place a blanket or other protection between the

surface of the roof and the load.

• Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully

when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack.
Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck
traffic, can add sudden upward lift to a load. This is
especially true on large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.

• The use of Sport Mode is not recommended when

using the Roof Luggage Rack to carry a load.

Instrument Cluster Descriptions

1. Tachometer

• Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute

(RPM x 1000).

2. Speedometer

• Indicates vehicle speed.

3. Temperature Gauge

• The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tem-

perature. Any reading within the normal range indi-
cates that the engine cooling system is operating
satisfactorily.

• The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tem-

perature when driving in hot weather or up mountain
grades. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper
limits of the normal operating range.

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer for
service if your vehicle overheats.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot engine cooling system could dam-
age 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”, turn the engine off immediately and call an
authorized dealer for service.

4. Fuel Gauge

• The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank

when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position.

•

The fuel pump symbol points to the side of the

vehicle where the fuel door is located.

5. Instrument Cluster Display

• The instrument cluster display features a driver-

interactive display. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Dis-
play” in “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY

Your vehicle will be equipped with an instrument cluster
display, which offers useful information to the driver. With
the ignition in the STOP/OFF mode, opening/closing of a
door will activate the display for viewing, and display the
total miles, or kilometers, in the odometer. Your instrument
cluster display is designed to display important informa-
tion about your vehicle’s systems and features. Using a
driver interactive display located on the instrument panel,
your instrument cluster display can show you how sys-
tems are working and give you warnings when they are
not. The steering wheel mounted controls allow you to
scroll through the main menus and submenus. You can
access the specific information you want and make selec-
tions and adjustments.

Instrument Cluster Display Location And Controls

The instrument cluster display is located in the center of
the instrument cluster.

Battery Saver On/Battery Saver Mode Message —
Electrical Load Reduction Actions (If Equipped)

This vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor
(IBS) to perform additional monitoring of the electrical
system and status of the vehicle battery.

In cases when the IBS detects charging system failure, or
the vehicle battery conditions are deteriorating, electrical
load reduction actions will take place to extend the driving
time and distance of the vehicle. This is done by reducing
power to or turning off non-essential electrical loads.

Load reduction is only active when the engine is running.
It will display a message if there is a risk of battery
depletion to the point where the vehicle may stall due to
lack of electrical supply, or will not restart after the current
drive cycle.

When load reduction is activated, the message “Battery
Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode” will appear in the
instrument cluster display.

These messages indicate the vehicle battery has a low state
of charge and continues to lose electrical charge at a rate
that the charging system cannot sustain.

NOTE:
• The charging system is independent from load reduc-

tion. The charging system performs a diagnostic on the
charging system continuously.

• If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it may indicate

a problem with the charging system. Refer to “Battery
Charge Warning Light” in “Warning Lights And Mes-
sages” located in ”Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.

146

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

The electrical loads that may be switched off (if equipped),
and vehicle functions which can be effected by load
reduction:
• Heated Seat/Vented Seats/Heated Wheel
• Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors
• HVAC System
• 150W Power Inverter System
• Audio and Telematics System
Loss of the battery charge may indicate one or more of the
following conditions:
• The charging system cannot deliver enough electrical

power to the vehicle system because the electrical loads
are larger than the capability of charging system. The
charging system is still functioning properly.

• Turning on all possible vehicle electrical loads (e.g.

HVAC to max settings, exterior and interior lights,
overloaded power outlets +12V, 150W, USB ports) dur-
ing certain driving conditions (city driving, towing,
frequent stopping).

• Installing options like additional lights, upfitter electri-

cal accessories, audio systems, alarms and similar de-
vices.

• Unusual driving cycles (short trips separated by long

parking periods).

• The vehicle was parked for an extended period of time

(weeks, months).

• The battery was recently replaced and was not charged

completely.

• The battery was discharged by an electrical load left on

when the vehicle was parked.

• The battery was used for an extended period with the

engine not running to supply radio, lights, chargers,
+12V portable appliances like vacuum cleaner’s, game
consoles and similar devices.

What to do when an electrical load reduction action
message is present (“Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver
Mode”)

During a trip:
• Reduce power to unnecessary loads if possible:

– Turn off redundant lights (interior or exterior)
– Check what may be plugged in to power outlets +12V,

150W, USB ports

– Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature)
– Check the audio settings (volume)
