whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.
WARNING
7)Do not use the screen wiper to remove
layers of snow or ice from the windscreen.
In such conditions, the windscreen wiper
may be subjected to excessive stress
and the motor cut-out switch, which
prevents operation for a few seconds, may
intervene. If operation is not subsequently
restored, even after the vehicle is restarted,
contact a Jeep Dealership.

F - heated rear window on/off button and, where provided, door mirror electric heating;
IMPORTANT Do not affix stickers to the inside of the heated rear window over the heating filaments, to avoid damage that
might cause them to stop working properly.
IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes it possible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions more quickly
depending on the mode selected. Do not use the internal air recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows misting.
Additional heater(where provided)
The additional heater ensures more
rapid passenger compartment heating.
It activates in cold weather conditions,
if the following conditions are verified:
❒outside temperature low;
❒engine coolant temperature low;
❒engine on;
❒fan speed set at least to 1st speed;
❒knob C turned completely clockwise
to red section.
The heater is switched off when at least
one of the conditions above is no
longer verified.NoteThe power of the electric heater is
modulated according to the battery
voltage.
WARNING
2)The system uses R1234YF coolant,
which does not pollute the environment in
the event of accidental leakage. Under
no circumstances use R134a and R12
fluids, which are incompatible with the
components of the system.

❒after the window has reached the
upper end of travel, hold the up button
down for at least 3 seconds.
WARNING
21)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during their
operation, ensure that any passengers
are not at risk from the moving glass either
by personal objects getting caught in the
mechanism or by being hit by it directly.
When leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.

on the front glass panel, it will
completely open. From the position of
complete opening, pull the button:
the front panel will completely close.
During the automatic opening and
closing stages, press button A again to

ANTI-PINCH DEVICE
The sun roof and the electric blind are
equipped with an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle whilst the roof
is closing: if this happens, the system

movement) and turn it clockwise to
open the roof (or the blind) or
anticlockwise to close the roof (or the
blind).
INITIALISATION
PROCEDURE
Following an automatic movement
malfunction while opening/closing or
after an emergency manoeuvre (see
description in the previous paragraph),
the automatic operation of the sun
roof must be initialised again.
Proceed as follows:
❒move the roof to fully closed position;
❒move the ignition device to STOP
and keep it there for 10 seconds;
❒move the ignition device to MAR;

completely closed: the initialisation
procedure has ended.
WARNING
22)When leaving the vehicle (equipped
with mechanical key with a remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to avoid the risk of injury to those
still inside the vehicle due to accidental
operation of the sun roof. Improper use of
the roof can be dangerous. Before and
during operation, always check that
nobody is at risk of being injured by the
moving sun roof or by objects getting
caught or hit by it.
