PROCEDURE FOR
VERSIONS WITH MANUAL
GEARBOX
Proceed as follows:
❒engage the electric parking brake
and place the gear lever in neutral;
❒bring the ignition device to MAR. On
Diesel versions, waning light
lights
up in the instrument panel: wait for the
warning light to switch off;
❒fully depress the clutch pedal without
touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;❒if the engine does not start within 10
seconds, bring the ignition device
back to STOP and wait for 10-15
seconds before repeating the starting
procedure.
PROCEDURE FOR
VERSIONS WITH
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
Proceed as follows:
❒engage the electric parking brake
and place the gear lever to P (Park) or
N (Neutral);
❒fully depress the brake pedal without
touching the accelerator;
❒place the ignition device to AVV;
❒if the engine does not start, bring the
ignition device back to STOP and
wait for 10-15 seconds before
repeating the starting procedure.
IMPORTANT If, with the ignition device
at MAR, the
symbol on the
instrument panel stays on together with
warning light
, turn the ignition
device to STOP and then back to MAR.
If the warning light (or the symbol on
the display) remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the vehicle.
Contact a Jeep Dealership if the engine
still does not start.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Proceed as follows:
❒park the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic; engage
a gear (versions with manual gearbox)
or position the gear lever to P (Parking)
(versions with automatic transmission);
❒turn the ignition device to STOP
with the engine idling.
Cars equipped with electronic key
(Keyless Enter-N-Go):at a car speed
over 8 km/h (5 mph) it is possible to
switch the engine off, also with
automatic transmission lever in a
position other than P (Parking). To
switch off the engine in this situation,
hold down the ignition device button for
a while or press it 3 times in a row
within a few seconds. In this case the
engine will stop and the ignition device
will switch to MAR.
WARNING
109)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
110)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.

❒"Drive Away Release": (where
available) the electric parking brake will
automatically disengage with the driver
side seat belt fastened and the
detection of an action performed by the
driver to move the vehicle (forward
gear or reverse gear);
❒"Safe Hold": when the vehicle speed
is lower than 3 km/h, the gear lever is
not at P (Park) on versions with
automatic transmission and when the
intention of the driver to leave the
vehicle is detected, the electric parking
brake will automatically engage so
that the vehicle is in safe conditions.❒"Auto Park Brake": if the vehicle
speed is lower than 3 km/h, the electric
parking brake will automatically engage
with the gear lever moved to P (Park)
position (versions with automatic
transmission), or with the ignition device
at STOP (versions with manual
gearbox). The LED on the switch fig. 87
located on the central tunnel switches
on together with the warning light
on the instrument panel when the
parking brake is engaged and applied
to the wheels. Each automatic parking
brake engagement can be cancelled by
pressing the switch on the central
tunnel and moving at the same time the
gear lever for the automatic
transmission to position P (Park) or the
ignition device to STOP (versions with
manual gearbox).
SAFE HOLD
It is a safety function that automatically
engages the electric parking brake in
the event of a dangerous condition for
the vehicle.
If:
❒the vehicle speed is below 3 km/h;
❒the gear lever is not at P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission);
❒the driver's seat belt is not fastened;
❒the driver side door is open;❒no attempted operation of the brake
pedal or, on versions with manual
gearbox, the clutch pedal or the
accelerator pedal is detected;
the parking brake engages
automatically to prevent the vehicle
movement.
The Safe Hold function can be
temporarily disabled by pressing the
switch located on the central tunnel
and the brake pedal at the same time,
with the vehicle stationary and the
driver side door open.
Once disabled, the function will activate
again when the vehicle speed reaches
20 km/h or the ignition device is moved
to STOP and then to MAR.
WARNING
112)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the front wheels
must be steered towards the pavement
(when parking downhill), or in the opposite
direction if the vehicle is parked uphill. If
the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is
advisable to block the wheels with a
wedge or stone.
113)Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle. Always remove the key from
the ignition device when leaving the vehicle
and take it with you.
114)The electric parking brake must
always be engaged when leaving
the vehicle.
102
STARTING AND DRIVING
IMPORTANT In the event of a
temporary failure it is anyway
recommended to contact a Jeep
Dealership as soon as possible.
IGNITION LOCK AND
PARK POSITION
Versions equipped with the Keyless
Enter-N-Go system: this function
requires the gear lever to be positioned
to P (Park) before bringing the ignition
device to position STOP.
Versions equipped with mechanical
key: this function requires the gear
lever to be positioned to P (Park) before
extracting the key from the ignition
device.
If the vehicle battery is flat and the
ignition key is engaged, the latter is
locked in position. To remove the key
manually see paragraph "Automatic
transmission lever unlock" in chapter "In
an emergency".
GEAR ENGAGEMENT
DISABLING SYSTEM
WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL
PRESSED
This system prevents you from moving
the gear lever from position P (Park) if
the brake pedal has not been previously
depressed.
To bring the gear lever to a position
other than P (Park), the ignition device
must be in position AVV (engine on
or off) and the brake pedal must be
depressed.
WARNING
116)Never use position P instead of the
electric parking brake. When the vehicle is
parked, always engage the electric parking
brake to prevent accidental movements
of the vehicle.
117)If position P is not engaged the
vehicle might move and hurt people.
Before leaving the vehicle make sure that
the gear lever is in position P and the
electric parking brake is engaged.
118)Do not position the gear lever to N,
nor switch off the engine to travel
downhills. This type of driving is dangerous
and reduces the possibility of intervening
in the case of variation of the road traffic or
surface. You risk to lose control of your
vehicle and cause accidents.119)Before moving the gear lever from
position P, bring the ignition device to
position MAR and press the brake pedal.
Otherwise the gear lever might be
damaged.
120)Engage the reverse gear only with
vehicle at a standstill, engine idling and
accelerator completely released.
105
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
