Jeep 2016 CHEROKEE Operating Information Manual - page 230
NOTE:
You must press and hold the brake pedal
while shifting out of PARK.
Key Ignition Park Interlock
This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park
Interlock which requires the transmission to be
in PARK before the engine can be turned off.
This helps the driver avoid inadvertently leaving
the vehicle without placing the transmission in
PARK.
This system also locks the transmission in
PARK whenever the ignition switch is in the
OFF position.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Transmis-
sion Shift Interlock System (BTSI) that holds the
shift lever in PARK unless the brakes are ap-
plied. To shift the transmission out of PARK, the
engine must be running and the brake pedal
must be pressed.
The brake pedal must also be pressed to shift
from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE when
the vehicle is stopped or moving at low speeds.
Fuel Economy (ECO) Mode
The Fuel Economy (ECO) mode can improve
the vehicle’s overall fuel economy during nor-
mal driving conditions. Each time the vehicle is
started ECO mode is engaged and an amber
light in the center stack of the instrument panel
will be illuminated. To disable ECO mode, push
the “ECO” switch in the center stack of the
instrument panel and the amber light will go out
indicating ECO mode is disabled.
When the Fuel Economy (ECO) Mode is en-
gaged, the vehicle control systems will change
the following:
•
The transmission will upshift sooner and
downshift later.
•
The torque converter clutch may engage at
lower engine speeds and remain on longer.
•
The overall driving performance will be more
conservative.
•
Vehicles with Quadra-Lift™ air suspension
will operate in
"
Aero
"
mode over a broader
speed range. Refer to

Some ECO mode functions may be tempo-
rarily inhibited based on temperature and
other factors.
Active Noise Cancellation — Summit
Models Only
Your vehicle is equipped with an Active Noise
Cancellation System. This system uses four
microphones embedded in the headliner to de-
tect undesirable exhaust noise. An onboard
frequency
generator
creates
counteracting
sound waves through the audio system to help
keep the vehicle quiet.
