STARTING AND DRIVING
Let’s get to the "heart" of the vehicle:
seeing how you can exploit all of its
potential to the full.
We’ll look at how to drive it safely in any
situation, so that it can be a welcome
companion, with our comfort and
our wallets in mind.STARTING THE ENGINE ................. 99

STARTING AND DRIVING

111)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
WARNING
34)In the first period of use, i.e. in the first
1,600 km (1,000 miles), we recommend
not to demand maximum performance
from the vehicle (for instance excessive
accelerations, extended travel at maximum
speed, sudden braking, etc.).
35)With the engine off, do not leave the
ignition device at MAR to prevent the
battery from draining.
36)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely
no practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
37)Warning light
will flash after
starting or during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault with the glow plug heating
system. If the engine starts, the vehicle can
be regularly used, but a Jeep Dealership
must be contacted as soon as possible.
ELECTRIC PARKING
BRAKE (EPB)
The electric parking brake (EPB)
guarantees better use and optimal
performance compared to a manually
operated parking brake.
The electric parking brake features a
switch, located on the central tunnel fig.
87, a motor with caliper for each rear
wheel and an electronic control module.
IMPORTANT Always engage the
electronic parking brake before leaving
the vehicle.IMPORTANT In addition to parking the
vehicle with the parking brake always
engaged, the wheel steered, chocks or
stones positioned in front of the wheels
(when on a steep slope), a gear must
always be engaged (the 1st gear with
the vehicle parked uphill or the reverse
gear with the vehicle parked downhill).
On versions with automatic
transmission, place the gear lever at P
(Park).
IMPORTANT Should the vehicle battery
be faulty, to unlock the electric parking
brake the battery must be replaced.
The electric parking brake can be
engaged in two ways:
❒manually, by pressing the switch on
the central tunnel fig. 87;
❒automaticallyin "Safe Hold" or "Auto
Park Brake" conditions.
Engaging the parking brake
manually
112) 113) 114)
Briefly pull the switch located on the
central tunnel to manually engage the
electric paring brake when the vehicle is
stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the electric
parking brake.

STARTING AND DRIVING

122)Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that the vehicle is switched off and
that the ignition device is in the STOP
position. Follow the indications on the plate
underneath the bonnet. We recommend
that you remove the key from the ignition if
other people remain in the vehicle. The
vehicle should always be left after the key
has been removed or turned to the STOP
position. During refuelling, make sure
that the engine is off (ignition device in the
STOP position).
WARNING
39)If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Stop/Start system can be deactivated,
for a continuous operation of the climate
control system.
SPEED LIMITER
DESCRIPTION
This device allows the speed of the
vehicle to be limited to values which
can be set by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set both
with vehicle stationary and in motion.
The minimum speed that can be set is
30 km/h.
When the device is active, the vehicle
speed depends on the pressure at
the accelerator pedal, until the set
speed limit is reached.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
To activate the device press button A
fig. 91 on the steering wheel.The buttons on the steering wheel
operate as follows:
❒SET +: limit speed programming
(storage of a higher speed value);
❒SET –: limit speed programming
(storage of a lower speed value);
❒RES: device activation (the actuation
of the device is signalled by the
displaying of symbol
(green on
versions with reconfigurable
multifunction display).
❒CANC: deactivation of the device
(the deactivation of the device is
signalled by the displaying of symbol
(white);
Automatic deactivation of
device
The device deactivates automatically in
the event of fault in the system. In this
case, contact a Jeep Dealership.

SELEC-TERRAIN
DRIVING MODE
SELECTION
Turn knob A fig. 95 to select the wished
mode.
IMPORTANT Changing mode is not
possible when the vehicle speed is over
120 km/h.❒AUTO (Automatic): the 4WD mode
with continuous and automatic
operation can be used while driving on
road and off-road. This mode reduces
fuel consumption, because the
propeller shaft can be disconnected,
whenever required.
❒SNOW: this mode can achieve more
stability on slippery or snow-covered
grounds. To be used for driving on-road
and off-road in the case of grounds
with poor grip, such as roads covered
by snow.
❒SAND: off-road driving mode to be
used on grounds with poor grip, such
as muddy surfaces. The transmission is
set to offer a maximum traction.
❒MUD: off-road driving mode for
surfaces with poor grip, such as
mud-covered grounds or wet grass.
❒ROCK(where provided, for Trailhawk
versions only): this mode is only
available if the 4WD LOW mode is
activated. The device sets the vehicle to
maximise traction and give the highest
steering capacity on off-road surfaces
featuring a high grip. This mode offers
the best performance when driving
"off-road". This mode must be used to
pass over obstacles at slow speed,
such as large rocks, deep cracks, etc.When the engine is started, the AUTO
mode is automatically selected (LED on
close to the AUTO wording).
Turning the knob A fig. 95 the LED
close to the AUTO wording comes on
solid. The other LEDs switch on
sequentially, depending on the
positions set on the knob, so that the
driver can understand which is the new
required mode.
Once the required mode is set (LED
close to the wording switched on), just
keep the knob in that position so that
theSelec-Terrain™system actuates
to engage the wished mode.

To ensure correct operation of the
system, periodically remove all deposits
of dirt which may have accumulated
on the ball head bar and from the
mounting pipe. The lock must only be
treated with graphite.
Periodically lubricate the joints, the
sliding surfaces and the balls with
grease without resin or oil. Lubrication
is also a further corrosion protection.
if the vehicle is washed with high-
pressure jets, the ball head bar must be
removed and the dedicated plug fitted.
The ball head bar must never be
treated with high-pressure jets.
Two keys are supplied together with the
removable ball tow bar. Note down
the four-digit key number and keep it in
a safe place. This number is to be
used for ordering any duplicate keys
that may be required.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Jeep Dealership.
WARNING
128)The ABS with which the vehicle is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
therefore required on slippery surfaces.
129)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic
system.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
Always stop the engine before
refuelling.
130) 131) 132)
