DUSK SENSOR FAILURE
The symbol switches on along with a message on the display in the event of dusk sensor failure. Contact a
Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (diesel versions)
The symbol switches on constantly when driving (along with a message in the display), to indicate the
presence of water in the diesel filter.
19)
WARNING
19)The presence of water in the fuel supply system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation.
If thesymbol is displayed (along with a message in the display) contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible to bleed the system. If
the above indications come on immediately after refuelling, water has probably been poured into the tank: switch the engine off immediately
and contact a Jeep Dealership.

Symbol What it means
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(where provided)
Diesel versions: the symbol is displayed on some versions, along with a dedicated message displaying.
The symbol is displayed for 3 minute cycles and intervals of 5 seconds until oil is changed.
The symbol is displayed until the problem is solved.
Petrol versions: the symbol switches on and then is not displayed when the display cycle is completed.
IMPORTANT After the first indication, each time the engine is started the symbol will continue to switch on
as described above until the oil is changed. On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.
If the symbol flashes, this does not mean that there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply reports that it is
now necessary to change the oil as a result of regular use of the vehicle.
The deterioration of engine oil is accelerated by using the vehicle for short drives, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature.
Contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
20) 21)
WARNING
20)Deteriorated engine oil should be replaced as soon as possible after the symbol is switched on, and never more than 500 km after it first
switches on. Failure to observe the above indications may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty. The switching
on of this symbol is not correlated to the quantity of oil in the engine, therefore if it flashes you do not need to top up the engine oil.
21)If the symbol flashes whilst driving, contact a Jeep Dealership.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Symbol What it means
EXTERIOR LIGHTS FAILURE
the symbol switches on to indicate a failure on the following lights: daytime running lights (DRLs); parking
lights; trailer direction indicators (if present); trailer lights (if present); side lights; direction indicators; fog
light; reversing light; brake lights; number plate lights.
The failure may be caused by a blown bulb, a blown protection fuse or an interruption of the electrical
connection.
DPF CLEANING (particulate trap) in progress (diesel versions with DPF only)
The symbol switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped
pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration process.
The symbol does not switch on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require
that the driver is notified. To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle in motion until the regeneration process is
over. On average, the process lasts 15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are
achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed above 2000 rpm.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate a vehicle failure and thus it should not be taken to a
workshop. On some versions, together with the symbol switching on, the display shows a dedicated
message.
22)
WARNING
22)Vehicle travel speed should always be adapted to the traffic and weather conditions, and must always comply with traffic regulations. The
engine can be stopped even if the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason it is always advisable to wait for the symbol to go off before turning off the engine,
following the instructions above. It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
ABS (Anti-lock Braking
System)
This system, which is an integral part of
the braking system, prevents one or
more wheels from locking and slipping
in all road surface conditions,
irrespective of the intensity of the
braking action, ensuring that the vehicle
can be controlled even during
emergency braking and optimising
stopping distances.
System intervention
The driver can feel that the ABS system
has come into action because the
brake pedal pulsates slightly and the
system gets noisier: this is entirely
normal with the system operating.
31) 32) 33) 34) 35) 36) 37)
DTC (Drag Torque
Control) SYSTEM
The system intervenes in the event of
sudden downshifting, or during ABS
braking, restoring torque to the engine
and thus preventing excessive drag
at the drive wheels, which may lead the
wheels to lock and a loss of vehicle
stability, above all in low-grip
conditions.
ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) SYSTEM
The ESC system improves the
directional control and stability of the
vehicle in various driving conditions,
correcting understeer and oversteer,
distributing the brake force on the
appropriate wheels.
System intervention
The intervention of the system is
indicated by the flashing of the
warning light on the instrument
panel, to inform the driver that
the vehicle is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
38) 39) 40) 41) 42)
TC (Traction Control)
SYSTEM
The system automatically operates in
the event of slipping, loss of grip on wet
roads (aquaplaning) and acceleration
on slippery, snowy or icy roads, etc. on
one or both drive wheels.
System intervention
The intervention of the system is
indicated by the flashing of the
warning light on the instrument
panel, to inform the driver that
the vehicle is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
43) 44) 45) 46) 47)
PBA (Panic Brake
Assist) SYSTEM
The PBA system is designed to
improve the vehicle’s braking capacity
during emergency braking.
The brake pedal should be pressed
continuously during braking, avoiding
intermittent presses, to get the most
out of the system. Do not reduce
pressure on the brake pedal until
braking is not necessary anymore.
The PBA system is deactivated when
the brake pedal is released.
48) 49) 50)
HSA (Hill Start Assist)
SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the
ESC system and facilitates starting on
slopes.
System deactivation
The Hill Start Assist system can be
deactivated using the display Menu
(see the instructions in the "Display"
paragraph, "Knowing the instrument
panel" chapter).

SAFETY

With gear lever in neutral, speed
adjustment using the accelerator pedal
is not available.
The driver can cancel the intervention of
the HDC system at any time by
completely depressing the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal.
System deactivation
The HDC system is deactivated, but
remains available, if one of the following
conditions is met:
❒the speed of the vehicle exceeds
25 km/h but remains below 40 km/h;
❒the vehicle is on a descent with
insufficient gradient, below 8%, or a
level surface, or is going uphill;
❒the gear lever is in P (Park) position.
Disabling the system
The system is deactivated and disabled
if one of the following conditions is
met:
❒button press fig. 53;
❒activation of mode other than 4WD
LOW;
❒electric parking brake (EPB)
engagement;
❒driver side door open;
❒speed of 40 km/h exceeded
(immediate exit from HDC function).
57) 58)
DISABLING ACTIVE
SAFETY SYSTEMS
Depending on the versions, there are 3
configurations for the active safety
systems on the vehicle:
❒systems enabled;
❒systems partially disabled;
❒systems disabled.
Systems enabled
All active safety systems are enabled.
This is the normal operating mode
when driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
This mode should be used in most
driving conditions. The system will be in
"Systems enabled" mode every time
the engine is started.
IMPORTANT You are advised to select
"Systems partially disabled" or
"Systems disabled" modes only for
specific driving requirements.
Systems partially disabled
By pressing thebutton on the central
tunnel fig. 54 for fewer than 5 seconds
when driving, the TSC system can
be disabled and the intervention of the
TC system can be limited to braking
action on the individual drive wheels.
The other systems remain enabled.Activation of this mode is indicated by
the
warning light on the instrument
panel switching on (on some versions,
together with a message on the
display).
To restore "All systems enabled"
operating mode, press the button on
the central tunnel again.
"Systems completely enabled" mode
will automatically reactivate every time
the engine is started.
IMPORTANT When travelling on snowy
roads with snow chains, it may be
helpful to activate "Systems partially
disabled" mode: in these conditions,
slipping of the drive wheels when
moving off makes it possible to obtain
better traction.
