In 2011, the Jeep Grand Cherokee requires DOT 4 brake fluid. Without brake fluid, your brakes won't function properly as it operates on a hydraulic system. The brake pressure moves fluid to the brakes, enabling the pads to press against the rotor (known as disc brakes due to their disc-like appearance). Rotors are connected to the wheel hubs and rotate as the wheels move. Increased pressure slows down the car - without fluid, there's no pressure. While there's an emergency brake, it's usually not strong enough for urgent stops. Detecting a brake fluid leak is a serious issue that needs immediate attention. You should promptly address the leak and avoid driving the vehicle until it's fixed.
The recommended brake fluid for the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is DOT 4.
Dot 3 brake fluid is selected for application in the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
