DST SYSTEM (Dynamic
Steering Torque)
The DST function uses the integration
of the ESC system with the electric
power steering to increase the safety
level of the whole vehicle.
53)
ERM (Electronic Rollover
Mitigation) SYSTEM
The system monitors the tendency of
the wheels to rise from the ground if the
driver performs extreme manoeuvres
like quick steering to avoid an obstacle,
especially in poor road conditions.
If these conditions occur, the system
intervenes on the brakes and engine
power to reduce the possibility that the
wheels are raised from the ground. It
is not possible to avoid tendency to roll
over if the phenomenon is due to
reasons such as driving on high side
gradients, collision with objects or other
vehicles.
54)
TSC (Trailer Sway
Control) SYSTEM
The system employs a series of
sensors located on the vehicle to
identify excessive swerving of the trailer
and take the necessary precautions
to eliminate it.
System intervention
When the system is active, the
warning light flashes on the
instrument panel, the engine power is
reduced and braking can be felt on the
individual wheels, following the attempt
to eliminate the swerving of the trailer.
The system is active only with ESC
engaged.
When the ESC system is deactivated
(by pressing the button on the central
tunnel), the TSC system is deactivated
as well.
55) 56)
HDC (Hill Descent
Control) SYSTEM
(where provided)
It is an integral part of the ESC system
and is aimed at keeping the vehicle at a
constant speed during a descent,
operating autonomously on the brakes
in various ways at the same time.
In this way the vehicle stability and
completely safe driving are guaranteed,
above all in poor grip conditions and
steep descents.
Enabling the system
To enable the system, press the button
fig. 53:
The system is enabled if the following
conditions are met:❒theSelec-Terrain™device is in
4WD LOW mode;
❒the vehicle speed is below 25 km/h;
❒the electric parking brake (EPB) is
deactivated;
❒the driver side door is closed.
Activation of the system
Once enabled, the HDC system will
activate automatically if the vehicle
is driven downhill on a steep slope,
higher than 8%.
The speed set for the HDC system can
be adjusted using the brake pedal
and the accelerator pedal (in the
1–25 km/h range). Once the desired
speed is reached, when both pedals
are released the HDC system will
maintain the set speed.
In this way, the driver can adjust the
speed and, if necessary, reassume
control of the vehicle.

62)When "Systems disabled" mode is
selected, the ESC system will not be
available in the event of emergency
manoeuvres. "Systems disabled" mode is
only for off-road use.AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
BSM (Blind Spot
Monitoring) SYSTEM
(where provided)
The system uses two radar sensors,
located in the rear bumper (one for
each side - see fig. 55), to detect the
presence of vehicles (vehicles, trucks,
motorbikes, etc.) in the rear side blind
spots of your vehicle.
The system warns the driver about the
presence of vehicles in the detection
area by lighting up, on the relevant side,
the warning light located on the door
mirror fig. 56, along with an acoustic
warning. When the vehicle is started the
warning light turns on to signal the
driver that the system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated engaging any
forward gear at a speed higher than
about 10 km/h, or engaging the reverse
gear.
The sensors are temporarily
deactivated with vehicle at a standstill
and the gear lever in position P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission),
or with vehicle at a standstill and
electric parking brake engaged
(versions with manual gearbox).

The detection area of the system
covers about a lane on both sides of
the vehicle (around 3 metres). This area
begins from the door mirror and
extends for about 6 metres towards the
rear part of the vehicle.
When the sensors are active the system
monitors the detection areas on both
sides of the vehicle and warns the
driver about the possible presence of
vehicles in these areas.
While driving the system monitors the
detection area from three different input
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether a signal needs to be sent
to the driver. The system can detect the
presence of a vehicle in one of these
three areas.
Important
63)The system does not signal the
presence of fixed object (e.g. safety
barriers, poles, walls, etc.). However, in
some circumstances, the system may
activate in the presence of these
objects. This is normal and does not
indicate a system malfunction.
The system does not warn the driver
about the presence of vehicles coming
from the opposite direction, in the
adjacent lanes.
If a trailer is hitched to the vehicle, the
system automatically deactivates.The rear bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the
road surface for the system to operate
correctly.
Do not cover the rear bumper area
where the radar sensors are located
with any object (e.g. adhesives, bike
rack, etc.).
Rear view: the system detects vehicles
approaching to the rear part of your
vehicle on both sides and entering the
rear detection area with a speed delta
lower than 50 km/h with respect to your
vehicle.
Overtaking vehicles: if another vehicle
is overtaken slowly (with a speed delta
lower than about 25 km/h) and this
stays in the blind spot for about 1.5
seconds, the warning light on the door
mirror of the corresponding side lights
up. If the speed delta between the
two vehicles is higher than about 25
km/h, the warning light does not light
up.
RCP (Rear Cross Path
detection) system
This system helps the driver during
reverse manoeuvres in the case of
reduced visibility. During "RCP"
operating mode, the system emits
acoustic and visual warnings if
the presence of an object is detected.
When an acoustic warning is sent,
theUconnect™volume is lowered.
The system can be activated/
deactivated through the display Menu
or theUconnect™system.
The system monitors the rear detection
areas on both sides of the vehicle, to
detect objects moving towards the
sides of the vehicle at a minimum
speed comprised between about 1
km/h and 3 km/h and objects moving
at a maximum speed of 35 km/h, as
generally happens in the parking areas.
The system activation is signalled to
the driver by means of a visual and
acoustic warning.
IMPORTANT If the sensors are covered
by objects or vehicles, the system will
not warn the driver.

SAFETY

Important
❒The system has not been designed
to prevent impacts and cannot detect
possible conditions leading to an
accident in advance. Failure to take into
account this warning may lead to
serious or fatal injuries.❒The system may activate, assessing
the trajectory of the vehicle, for the
presence of reflecting metal objects
different from other vehicles, such as
safety barriers, road signs, barriers
before parking areas, tollgates, level
crossings, gates, railways, objects near
road constructions sites or higher
than the vehicle (e.g. a flyover). In the
same way, the system may intervene
inside multi-storey car parks or
galleries, or due to a glare on the road
surface. These possible activations
follow the normal operating logic of the
system and must not be regarded as
faults.
❒The system has been designed for
road use only. If the vehicle is driven
off-road, the system must be
deactivated, to avoid unnecessary
warnings. By selecting the 4WD LOW
mode, the system is automatically
deactivated. Automatic deactivation is
signalled by the dedicated warning
light/icon switching on in the instrument
panel.
TPMS (Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
(where provided)
68) 69) 70) 71) 72) 73) 74)32)
The TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System) signals possible insufficient tyre
pressure according to the cold
pressure indicated in chapter "Technical
specifications".
The system comprises a radio-
frequency transmitter sensor fitted to
each wheel (on the rim inside the tyre),
which is able to send information on the
inflation pressure of each tyre to the
control unit.
The system automatically updates and
warning light
switches off each
time the system receives the updated
inflation pressures. The vehicle might
need to be driven at a speed higher
than about 25 km/h (15 mph) up to 20
minutes for the TPMS to receive this
information.
61J0A0083C
62J0A0336C
73

IMPORTANT The TPMS is designed for
original tyres and wheels. Pressure
and alarms signalled by the TPMS are
defined according to the size of the
tyres fitted on the vehicle. Using spare
wheels of a size, type and/or design
different from the original ones may
cause an irregular operation of the
system and damage the sensors.
Aftermarket fitted wheels may damage
the sensors. Using aftermarket tyre
sealants may damage the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System sensor. If
aftermarket tyre sealant is used it is
recommended to go to a Jeep
Dealership to have the sensors
checked. After tyre pressure check and
adjustment, always refit the valve plug
to prevent humidity and dirt from
entering, these may damage the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System sensor.
TPMS check message
If a system failure is present, the
warning light flashes for about 75
seconds and then stays on constantly.
An acoustic signal is also issued.
TPMS deactivation
The TPMS can be deactivated by
replacing the wheels equipped with
TPMS with others that are not (e.g.
upon replacement of the wheel
assemblies in winter). Then drive the
vehicle for at least 20 minutes at a
speed higher than about 25 km/h (15
mph). The TPMS will emit an acoustic
warning, the
warning light will flash
for about 75 seconds, then will stay
on constantly and the instrument panel
will display the "TPMS check" message
with some dashes (– –) instead of the
pressure values.
At the next engine start, the system will
not emit any acoustic signal and the
display will not show the message
"TPMS check", but the dashes (– –) will
be still displayed instead of the pressure
value.
WARNING
63)The system is an aid for vehicle driving,
it DOES NOT warn the driver about
incoming vehicles outside of the detection
areas. The driver must always maintain a
sufficient level of attention to the traffic and
road conditions and for controlling the
trajectory of the vehicle.64)The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while driving.
The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
65)If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
66)The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. People, animals
and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken
into consideration.
67)If the vehicle must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if
it is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part
(e.g. another vehicle, a wall or another
obstacle), the system may detect its
presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
settings of theUconnect™system.
68)The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular checks
of the tyre pressure, including for the
spare wheel, and correct maintenance: the
system is not used to signal a possible
fault to a tyre.
69)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres rested and cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason to check
pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than
the prescribed value. Repeat the check
when the tyres are cold.
74
SAFETY

70)Should one or more wheels be fitted
without sensors (e.g. if the spare wheel
is fitted), the system will no longer be
available for the replaced wheel and a
warning message will be shown on the
display, until the wheels with sensors are
fitted again.
71)The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts). In
this case, stop the vehicle, braking with
care and avoiding sharp steering actions.
72)Replacing the normal tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa requires an inspection
of the TPMS, which should be carried
out only by a Jeep Dealership.
73)Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The system
may temporarily indicate insufficient
pressure. In this case check the tyre
inflation pressure with the tyres cold and, if
necessary top up the inflation pressure.
74)When a tyre is removed, it is advisable
to replace the rubber gasket for the valve:
go to a Jeep Dealership. The fitting/
removal of the tyres and/or rims require
special care. To avoid damaging or fitting
the sensors incorrectly, tyre and/or rim
fitting/removal operations should only be
carried out by specialised staff. Go to a
Jeep Dealership.
WARNING
23)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
24)The section of the bumper before
the sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
25)System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.
26)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
27)Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may
alter the position of the radar sensor,
and adversely affect its operation. Go to a
Jeep Dealership for any operation of this
type.
28)Do not tamper nor carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event
of a sensor failure, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
29)When towing a trailer (with modules
installed after purchasing the vehicle),
a vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on
a vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for
transport), the system must be deactivated
via theUconnect™system.30)Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do
not operate on the system's electrical
connector.
31)Be careful in the case of repairs and
new paintings in the area around the
sensor (panel covering the sensor on the
left side of the bumper). In the event of
a frontal impact the sensor may
automatically deactivate and display a
warning to indicate that the sensor needs
to be repaired. Even without a malfunction
warning, deactivate the system operation
if you think that the position of the radar
sensor has changed (e.g. due to
low-speed frontal impact as during parking
manoeuvres). In these cases, go to a
Jeep Dealership to have the radar sensor
realigned or replaced.
32)The tyre quick repair kit (TireKit),
provided with the vehicle, is compatible
with the TPMS sensors. Using sealants
different from that in the original kit may
compromise its operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original one are used, it
is recommended to have the TPMS sensor
operation checked by a qualified repair
centre.
