What does the 'aero' display on the Grand Cherokee dashboard mean?
2 Answers
The appearance of 'aero' on the Grand Cherokee indicates the flight mode. When the dashboard displays 'aero', the air suspension automatically lowers to the low position, enabling the following two modes: 1. Eco Mode (Economy Mode): This is a more fuel-efficient driving mode suitable for congested daily commutes and intercity highways. In this mode, the Grand Cherokee ensures further fuel savings through more aggressive engine fuel supply control and optimized transmission shift patterns, while also reducing the drag coefficient. 2. Sport Mode: This provides a more dynamic and enjoyable driving experience for high-speed driving conditions. When activated, the vehicle automatically lowers to Aero height for improved aerodynamic performance, enhancing body control responsiveness. The four-wheel-drive system's transfer case is initially set to a 20:80 front-to-rear torque distribution, delivering the driving pleasure of a rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Oh, the "aero" display on the Grand Cherokee dashboard usually indicates that the Aero mode of the air suspension system is activated. This feature automatically engages when you're driving at high speeds, slightly lowering the vehicle's height to reduce air resistance, improving fuel efficiency and making the ride more stable. Having driven the Grand Cherokee many times on highways, I've noticed that when "aero" lights up, the wind noise decreases, making long-distance driving more comfortable. However, it doesn't trigger during normal city driving. If the "aero" display stays lit or suddenly appears, it might indicate a system malfunction, such as insufficient air pressure or a faulty sensor. In such cases, it's important to get it checked at a professional shop promptly to avoid further issues. In short, it's a smart little helper designed to optimize highway performance, and once you're familiar with it, you can make the most out of it.
