ON- AND OFF-ROAD CAPABILITY,

AS ONLY AN ORIGINATOR CAN.

Trailhawk® in Redline Two-Coat Pearl

QUADRA-DRIVE® II employs an Electronic
Limited-Slip Differential that can transfer up
to 100 percent of torque to the rear wheel(s)
with traction to help you maintain forward
movement. The system’s crawl ratio of

44.2:1 puts down serious force when you
need it. Available.

QUADRA-TRAC II® offers all-speed traction

control via a two-speed low transfer case
that can quickly distribute power to the axle
with the most traction. Sensors detect
wheel-slip at the earliest possible moment,
then work to take corrective action to keep
you moving safely ahead. Available.

QUADRA-TRAC I® is fully automatic,

offering a continual balance of torque
distribution with no buttons to push or
levers to pull. If slippage occurs, torque is
transferred to the axle with the most
traction. Available.

SELEC-SPEED® CONTROL Selec-Speed
adds Hill Ascent Control to the familiar
Hill Descent Control. Hill Ascent engages
the throttle to help provide stable low-range
control when going uphill, whereas Hill
Descent uses engine and physical braking
to aid in vehicle control when going
downhill. Available.

TRAIL RATED® Every Jeep Brand

vehicle bearing a Trail Rated badge is
designed and built to Go Anywhere,
Do Anything® and perform with exceptional
4WD capability. It must successfully pass
five performance test categories: Traction,
Articulation, Maneuverability, Ground
Clearance and Water Fording11 Available.

MANAGEMENT

SYSTEM

®

SNOW Adjusts for

ultimate performance
over snow- and
ice-covered roads
by maximizing
vehicle stability and
minimizing oversteer.
Automatically
activates headlamps
and taillamps for
added security during
inclement weather.

SAND Traction

control operates with
aggressive response
to wheelspin. The
suspension raises for
optimal performance.
Deeper wheel-slip
antilock brake settings
and off-road-tuned
Electronic Stability
Control (ESC)12
are among the
systems engaged.

AUTO In this

mode, Selec-Terrain
does all the work,
automatically
adjusting vehicle
dynamics to best suit
the road. To help
ensure optimal
efficiency, the rear
driveline disengages
when not needed.

MUD In this setting,

Grand Cherokee raises
to Off-Road 1 Mode,
Traction Control
operates with
sensitive response
to wheelspin, and
torque is tuned for
optimal performance.

ROCK This setting

raises the vehicle
to the maximum
ground clearance
of 10.8 inches; the
transfer case,
differential and
throttle coordinate to
provide low-speed
control. ESC12 is tuned
appropriately for
off-road conditions.

Trailhawk® in Billet Silver Metallic

TRAILHAWK® The harshest terrain is easy prey for Grand Cherokee

Trailhawk, with its Best-in-Class2 4x4 capability. This predator’s Trail Rated®
Quadra-Drive® II four-wheel-drive capability is powered by a formidable

3.6L V6 engine and rides on an upgraded Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension
System, standard 18-inch wheels and a full complement of underbody
armor. Inside Trailhawk’s stunning cabin, leather and suede adorn
exceptionally cushioned seats. Red accent stitching adds distinction to
the seats, doors and console. A sophisticated Gun Metal finish graces
vents, surrounds and the 8.4-inch Uconnect® 4C NAV touchscreen,
which can monitor performance via informative off-road pages.
