How to Put the Jeep Cherokee in Jack Mode

Model: Jeep Cherokee KL, MK 5 - Years 2013-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance

To activate the "Tire Jack Mode" on a Jeep Cherokee with air suspension, follow these steps: turn on the ignition and go to "controls/settings/suspension" on the central touchscreen. Select "Tire Jack Mode" and confirm the activation. A message will appear: "air suspension disabled". Before lifting the vehicle, switch off the engine. This is necessary to prevent the vehicle from trying to level itself during lifting, thus preventing damage to the suspension system or the vehicle. After completing the operation, it is necessary to deactivate the option by restarting it normally, as the mode resets automatically when switched off.
