If the transmission is used in
"sequential" mode, which is activated
moving the lever from D (Drive) to
the left, the various positions can be
reached towards + or – . These
positions are unstable.
To exit position P (Park), or to pass from
position N (Neutral) to position D (Drive)
or R (Reverse) when the vehicle is
stopped or is moving at a low speed,
the brake pedal must be pressed either
(see "Gear engagement disabling
system with brake engaged" in this
chapter).
IMPORTANT DO NOT accelerate while
shifting from position P (or N) to another
position.
IMPORTANT After selecting a gear, wait
a few seconds before accelerating.
This precaution is particularly important
with engine cold.AutoStick - Sequential
shifting mode
In the case of frequent gearshiftings
(e.g. when the vehicle is driven with a
heavy load, on slopes, with strong
headwind or when towing heavy
trailers), it is recommended to use the
AutoStick (sequential shifting) mode
to select and keep a lower fixed ratio.
It is possible to shift from position D
(Drive) to the sequential mode
regardless of vehicle speed.
Activation
With gear lever in position D (Drive), to
activate the sequential drive mode,
move the lever to the left (– and +
indication of the trim). The gear
engaged will be shown on the display.
Gearshifting is made by moving the
gear lever forwards, towards symbol –
or backwards, towards symbol +.

STARTING AND DRIVING

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.

STARTING AND DRIVING

❒make sure that the switch for the
compressor is in position0(off), start
the engine, insert the plug into the
luggage compartment power socket or
on central tunnel and switch on the
compressor by bringing the switch to
positionI(on);
❒inflate the tyre to the pressure
indicated in the “Wheels” paragraph
(see “Technical data” chapter). In order
to obtain a more precise reading, check
the pressure value on pressure gauge
B with the compressor off;
❒if after five minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.8 bar, disengage
the compressor from the valve and
power socket, then move the vehicle
forwards by approx. ten metres in order
to distribute the sealing fluid inside the
tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation
operation;
❒if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes
from switching on the compressor,
do not resume driving but contact a
Jeep Dealership;
❒after having driven for about 10
minutes, stop and re-check the tyre
pressure; remember to engage the
electric parking brake;❒if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar
is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and
electric parking brake), resume driving
immediately and drive with great care to
a Jeep Dealership.
WARNING
149)Punctures on the sides of the tyre
may not be repaired. Do not use the TireKit
if the tyre is damaged due to travelling
when flat.
150)Wear the protective gloves provided
with the TireKit.
151)Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the
TireKit. Drive carefully, particularly on
bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not
accelerate or brake suddenly.
152)If the pressure has fallen below 1.8
bar, do not drive any further: the TireKit
cannot guarantee proper hold because the
tyre is too damaged. Contact a Jeep
Dealership.
153)You must always indicate that the tyre
was repaired using the TireKit. Give the
leaflet to the technicians who will be
handling the tyre that was treated using the
TireKit.
154)Repair is not possible if the wheel rim
is damaged (groove is deformed, causing
air to escape). Do not remove foreign
bodies (screws or nails) from the tyre.155)Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 20 minutes consecutively. Risk
of overheating. The TireKit is not suitable
for definitive repairs, so the repaired tyres
may only be used temporarily.
