Jeep 2016 CHEROKEE Operating Information Manual - page 246
An advantage of the higher ground clearance is
a better view of the road, allowing you to
anticipate problems. They are not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as conventional
two-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-
slung sports cars are designed to perform sat-
isfactorily in off-road conditions. If at all pos-
sible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers.
As with other vehicles of this type, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss
of control or vehicle rollover.
OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS
NOTE:
Prior to off-road driving with non-Summit
models that are also equipped with an Off
Road Package, remove the lower fascia to
prevent damage. The lower fascia is at-
tached to the lower part of the front fascia
with seven quarter turn fasteners and can be
removed by hand. The front license plate
bracket must be removed first if equipped.
NOTE:
On Summit models the lower front fascia is
not removable.
Lower Front Fascia Removal:
1. Remove the seven quarter turn fasteners.
2. Starting on one side of the vehicle, disen-
gage lower fascia from the upper fascia.
Grasp the portion inside the wheel well.
Pulling it downwards and toward you, sepa-
rate the tabs from the slots in the upper
fascia.
3. Continue working your way across the ve-
hicle, separating the remaining tabs from the
slots in the upper fascia.
NOTE:
Do not allow the lower fascia to freely hang
from the tabs in the opposite corner as
damage to lower and upper fascia may re-
sult.
4. Store the lower fascia in a safe location.
NOTE:
It is recommend to also remove the radar
sensor on vehicle equipped to Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC). This radar sensor is
specifically calibrated to your vehicle and is
not interchangeable with other radar sen-
sors.
