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.
99

A slight movement of the brake pedal
may be detected when engaging the
electric parking brake with the brake
pedal pressed.
With the electric parking brake
engaged, the warning light
on the
instrument panel and the LED on the
switch turn on.
IMPORTANT With the EPB failure
warning light on, some functions of the
electric parking brake are deactivated.
In this case the driver is responsible
for brake activation and vehicle parking
in complete safety conditions.
If, under exceptional circumstances, the
use of the brake is required with the
vehicle in motion, keep the switch on
the central tunnel pulled as long as the
brake action is necessary.
The warning light
may switch on
with the hydraulic system temporarily
unavailable; in this case braking is
controlled by the motors.
The brake lights (stop) will also
automatically switch on in the same
way as for normal braking with the use
of the brake pedal.
Release the switch on the central tunnel
to stop the braking action with the
vehicle in motion.If, through this procedure, the vehicle is
braked until a speed below 3 km/h is
reached and the switch is kept pulled,
the parking brake will definitively
engage.
IMPORTANT Driving the vehicle with
the electric parking brake engaged, or
using it several times to slow down
the vehicle, may cause severe damage
to the braking system.
Disengaging the electric
parking brake manually
To manually disengage the parking
brake, the ignition device must be at
MAR. It is also necessary to press the
brake pedal, then slightly press the
switch on the central tunnel.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle and a slight movement of the
brake pedal may be detected during
disengagement.
With the electric parking brake
engaged, the warning light
on the
instrument panel and the LED on the
switch turn off.
If the warning light
on the
instrument panel remains on with the
electric parking brake disengaged, this
indicates a fault: in this case contact
a Jeep Dealership.IMPORTANT On versions with
automatic transmission never use the P
(Park) position instead of the electric
parking brake. Always engage the
electric parking brake when parking the
vehicle to prevent injury or damage
caused by the unexpected movement
of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT For vehicles equipped
with manual gearbox, if the clutch pedal
is released simultaneously with the
press of the accelerator, the electric
handbrake automatically releases.
ELECTRIC PARKING
BRAKE OPERATING
MODES
The electric parking brake may operate
as follows:
❒"Dynamic operating mode": this
mode is activated by pulling the switch
repeatedly whilst deriving;
❒"Static engagement and release
mode": with the vehicle stationary, the
electric parking brake can be activated
by pulling the switch on the central
tunnel once. On the other hand, press
the switch and the brake pedal at
the same time to disengage the brake;

PARKSENSE
SYSTEM
SENSORS
126)42) 43)The parking sensors, located in the rear
bumper fig. 96, are used to detect the
presence of any obstacles near the rear
part of the vehicle.
The sensors warn the driver about the
presence of obstacles with an
intermittent acoustic signal and, where
provided, also with visual indications
on the instrument panel display.
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
If the system has been correctly turned
on, it will activate automatically when
the reverse is engaged.
Instead, the system automatically
deactivates bringing the gear lever to a
position different from reverse.
ENGAGEMENT/
DISENGAGEMENT
To disengage the system press button
fig. 97.
When the system passes from engaged
to disengaged and viceversa, it is
always accompanied by a dedicated
message shown on the instrument
panel display.When the system is disengaged, the
LED on the button is off. Instead, if the
system is disengaged, the LED is on
constantly. The LED lights up also in the
case of a fault to theParkSense® sys-
tem.
If the button is pressed with the system
faulty, the LED flashes for about 5
seconds, then it stays on constantly.
IMPORTANT After theParkSense®
has been disengaged, it will stay in this
condition until the following engage-
ment, even if the ignition device passes
from MAR to STOP and then again to
MAR.
OPERATION WITH
TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is
automatically deactivated when the
trailer's electric plug is inserted in the
vehicle's tow hook socket.

GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
❒when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
“If a fuse blows” in this chapter.IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside
of the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from
the centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.
