2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Owners Manual To Go Digital On Smartphones

The big, bulky owners manual occupying precious glove box space may soon become a relic for Jeep owners, as the 2011 Grand Cherokee will be the brand’s first vehicle to bring the owners manual to a variety of smartphones. In addition to the owners manual, users will be able to view videos, contact other Grand Cherokee owners and give Chrysler feedback on various aspects of the car.

The smartphone owners manual will be available first for the iPhone, and then hit the Blackberry and Android platforms. As Autoblog astutely pointed out, when smartphones become obsolete in a few years, what will happen to the owners manuals? We hope that a hard copy will still be available. For all the wonders of technology, paper will never suffer from technical glitches, and when a Check Engine Light comes on ten years down the road, we doubt that anyone will dust off their old smartphone to look up the possible problem.

    I am pissed that there is no way of finding the manual for the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee 70th anniversary edition. I have been on my computer for 3hrs trying to find this particular manual. (NO LUCK) I would like a manual to put in my truck for emergenies. I am not going to buy a smartphone because I do not like that big phone. (THEY DON'T WORK PROPERLY) Please provide a website that has the manual for the 70th anniversary edition not just the Jeep Grand cherokee 2011 . The dealership man gave me a manual for the 2012 model Grand Cherokee. (stupid) I REALLY WOULD LIKE A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 70TH ANNIVERSARY MANUAL.
