Covers Audio Systems, Instrument Panel Systems, and likely ancillary electronics. Specific features of the 1991 system would be detailed.
Driver Assistance:
Vehicle Speed Control System and potentially ABS (if applicable to 1991 models) are covered. No advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) would be expected for this era.
Connectivity:
Limited connectivity features would be expected for a 1991 vehicle; however, the manual covers wiring diagrams for all electrical systems, which would include basic connectivity between components.
Service Intervals:
Detailed maintenance schedules for various mileage and time intervals, covering oil changes, filter replacements, fluid checks, and component inspections.
Fluid Specifications:
Specifies required fluid types (e.g., engine oil viscosity, coolant type, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, differential oil) and capacities for all vehicle systems.

Brand Heritage:
Jeep's long-standing heritage in rugged, capable SUVs is the foundation of the Grand Cherokee line.
Model Evolution:
The WJ generation, introduced in 1999, represented a significant redesign over the ZJ generation. However, this manual specifically pertains to a 1991 model, which corresponds to the ZJ generation (Grand Cherokee 'ZJ' 1993-1998). There appears to be a discrepancy in the product name ('WJ 1991'). Assuming the year is correct, this manual would cover the ZJ generation. If 'WJ' is correct, the year would be incorrect (WJ started in 1999).
Production:
This manual covers a 1991 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which was part of the original ZJ generation (1993-1998). The description's mention of 'WJ' for 1991 is factually inaccurate for the model generation, suggesting a potential error in the product listing. The manual would cover the ZJ platform for the 1991 model year.
