What is the correct Power Steering Fluid for a 2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ?

I called a Jeep Chrysler dealership, and they said to not to use an ATF +4.

Then I went to another Jeep Chrysler dealership, and they said the proper fluid is MOPAR ATF +4. So I bought a quart. The numbers on it are MS-9602 and 68218057AB.

Do I have the correct power steering fluid?

According to this website you can use:

Power Steering Fluid +4 (If unavailable ATF+4 is Acceptable)

Searching through things, it's the Grand Cherokee which requires the different power steering fluid and cannot use the ATF+4. This is due to it being an electric pump and supplying pressure to the cooling fan (or some such). The fluid used in the GC has friction modifiers.
