GUARDIAN
ELECTRONIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESC).
6
A vehicle-wide
network of safety sensors helps
maintain vehicle control, providing
instant aid should they detect you’re
veering off your intended path.
ESC coordinates Electronic Roll
Mitigation (ERM), antilock brake
system (ABS) and Brake Assist, all-
speed traction control, and available
Trailer Sway Control (TSC), sending
them into action when needed.
PARKVIEW® AND PARKSENSE®
PARK ASSIST SYSTEMS.
10
Back out
with grace. These systems help bring
previously hidden rear objects to your
attention, either on-screen or with an
audible warning, in good time to react.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC).
4
The ACC automatically adjusts cruising
speed to maintain a preset distance
between your Grand Cherokee and the
vehicle ahead.
AUTO HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP
CONTROL.
Brighter, better, safer.
Bi-Xenon High Intensity Discharge (HID)
headlamps shine up to three times
brighter than regular headlamps.
An auto-leveling feature keeps lamps
focused down at the road ahead; lights
automatically dim for oncoming traffic.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROL (TSC).
6
Crosswinds and traffic hold no sway
over you and your payload. As part of
ESC, TSC helps keep you and the toys
you are towing safely on course.
RAIN-SENSING WIPERS AND RAIN
BRAKE SUPPORT.
Storm clouds hold
little influence over your daily drive.
Front wipers activate when raindrops
are detected, and a smart brake system
helps dry the brake rotors on wet
roads. Headlamp washers are standard
on Overland Summit® and help maintain
safe viewing of the road ahead at night.
ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS.
11
A standard and effective safety
feature that can help stave off neck
injuries. Restraints automatically react
and adjust to help provide protection
during rear-impact collisions.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING
(FCW).
12
Even the most attentive
drivers will appreciate the help of
this warning system. Approach
an object too rapidly and Grand
Cherokee lets you know so you can
take appropriate action.
A SECURE AIR BAG SYSTEM.
13
Always
standard: full-length side-curtain, seat-
mounted side thorax, and advanced
multistage front air bags all work in
tandem to help provide protection.
ELECTRONIC ROLL MITIGATION (ERM).
If things get rough, ERM takes
immediate action to help you maintain
stability and remain under control.
HILL DESCENT CONTROL AND HILL
START ASSIST (HSA).
These systems
are always at your beck and call when
you need to get safely around the
corner or up and down the mountain.
ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS).
The benefits of ABS on slippery,
wet roads are widely known. This
advanced system knows when you’re
driving over rough terrain and adjusts
accordingly to help keep you in
optimum control.
SENTRY KEY® ENGINE IMMOBILIZER.
A unique, embedded key code matched
only to your vehicle helps keep your
Grand Cherokee safely where it belongs.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING
14
AND
REAR CROSS-PATH DETECTION
SYSTEM.
10
These sentry systems
constantly monitor the space between
you and other drivers. When a side or
rear blind spot is encroached, you’re
notified via illuminated icons on
sideview mirrors or an audible chime.
FRONT PARK ASSIST.
Grand Cherokee’s
new available Front Park Assist system
helps you nestle into parking spots by
detecting objects in front of the vehicle
and providing an audible warning when
your proximity is too close for comfort.
