* The sticker on the driver's side doorjamb: This sticker details the vehicle's options and features. Look for "Traction Control" or a similar abbreviation.
* The owner's manual: If you have the original owner's manual, it will list the vehicle's specifications, including optional equipment.
* The vehicle's build sheet (if available): This is a more detailed document showing the exact specifications of the vehicle as it left the factory. Getting a build sheet can be tricky, but some Jeep enthusiasts' websites or forums might offer guidance.
* Inspect the dash: Some (but not all) Jeep Grand Cherokees with traction control displayed a warning light on the dashboard. However, the absence of a light doesn't definitively mean it's *not* equipped.
* Test drive (with caution): While not definitive, you can attempt to test the system by accelerating aggressively on a slippery surface (ice or loose gravel). If the system is engaged, you might feel a slight reduction in power or the wheels spinning less than they would without traction control. Please do this only in a safe, controlled environment. Do not attempt this on a public road.
Because it was an option, the most reliable methods are checking the door jamb sticker or the owner's manual.
