SAFETY AND SECURITY
HIGH-STANDARD STREET SMARTSJeep
Grand Cherokees robust Electronic Stability Program (ESP)(1) includes Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), antilock brake system (ABS) and
Brake Assist, and now p artners with the new Trailer Sway Control (TSC), all working t ogether to help yo u and your trailer load safely reach your
destination. When the network of ESP sensors detect that youre veering off your intended path, this comprehensive system instantaneously
takes action to help keep you moving safely fo rward. Hill St art Assist (HSA) and Hill Descent Cont rol (HDC) are new available features that employ
automatic braking to help get you safely up and down the mountain. Choose available ParkView(2) with its rear back-up camera, to assist in the
detection of hidden obstacles during reverse maneuvers. New High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps improve nighttime visibility by casting
a beam of light three times brighter down the road.
(1)No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Whenthe ESP warning lamp in the speedometer flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to p revailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with c onditions. Please
always wear your seat belt.(2)Always check entire surroundings before backing up.(3)Always use seat belts. Children 12 and under should always be in a b ackseat correctly using an infant o r child restraint system, or t he seat belt positioned co rrectly for the child s age and size.
