"Blind spot alert", "Visual" mode:
when this mode is active, the BSM
system sends a visual warning to the
relevant door mirror, according to
the detected object. When operating in
RCP mode, the system sends visual
and acoustic warnings when the
presence of an approaching object is
detected. When an acoustic warning is
sent, theUconnect™volume is
lowered.
"Blind spot alert", "Visual &
acoustic" mode: when this mode is
active, the BSM system sends a visual
warning to the relevant door mirror,
according to the detected object. If the
direction indicator on the side where
an obstacle has been detected is
activated, an acoustic warning is
emitted as well. When the acoustic
warning is emitted, theUconnect™
volume is lowered.
"Blind spot alert" function
deactivation: when the system is
deactivated ("Blind spot alert" mode at
"OFF"), the BSM or RCP systems will
not emit neither acoustic nor visual
warnings. The BSM system will store
the operating mode running when
the engine was switched off: each time
the engine is started, the operating
mode stored previously will be recalled
and used.FORWARD COLLISION

It comprises a radar located behind the
front bumper fig. 57 and a camera
located in the central part of the
windscreen fig. 58.
In the event of an imminent collision the
system intervenes by automatically
braking the vehicle to prevent the crash
or reduce its effects.The system may lightly brake to warn
the driver if a possible frontal accident
is detected. Signals and limited braking
are intended to allow the driver to
react promptly, in order to prevent or
reduce the effects of a potential
accident.
Versions equipped with Stop/Start
system: at the end of the automatic
braking, the Stop/Start system will
activate as described in paragraph
"Stop/Start system" of this chapter.
Versions equipped with manual
gearbox: at the end of the automatic
braking the engine may stall and turn
off, unless the clutch pedal is pressed.
Versions equipped with automatic
transmission: at the end of the
braking, the latest stored gear
is engaged: the vehicle may restart after
a few seconds from the automatic
stop.
IMPORTANT After the vehicle is
stopped, the brake calipers may be
locked for about 2 seconds for safety
reasons. Make sure you press the
brake pedal if the vehicle moves slightly
forwards.

111)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
WARNING
34)In the first period of use, i.e. in the first
1,600 km (1,000 miles), we recommend
not to demand maximum performance
from the vehicle (for instance excessive
accelerations, extended travel at maximum
speed, sudden braking, etc.).
35)With the engine off, do not leave the
ignition device at MAR to prevent the
battery from draining.
36)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely
no practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
37)Warning light
will flash after
starting or during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault with the glow plug heating
system. If the engine starts, the vehicle can
be regularly used, but a Jeep Dealership
must be contacted as soon as possible.
ELECTRIC PARKING
BRAKE (EPB)
The electric parking brake (EPB)
guarantees better use and optimal
performance compared to a manually
operated parking brake.
The electric parking brake features a
switch, located on the central tunnel fig.
87, a motor with caliper for each rear
wheel and an electronic control module.
IMPORTANT Always engage the
electronic parking brake before leaving
the vehicle.IMPORTANT In addition to parking the
vehicle with the parking brake always
engaged, the wheel steered, chocks or
stones positioned in front of the wheels
(when on a steep slope), a gear must
always be engaged (the 1st gear with
the vehicle parked uphill or the reverse
gear with the vehicle parked downhill).
On versions with automatic
transmission, place the gear lever at P
(Park).
IMPORTANT Should the vehicle battery
be faulty, to unlock the electric parking
brake the battery must be replaced.
The electric parking brake can be
engaged in two ways:
❒manually, by pressing the switch on
the central tunnel fig. 87;
❒automaticallyin "Safe Hold" or "Auto
Park Brake" conditions.
Engaging the parking brake
manually
112) 113) 114)
Briefly pull the switch located on the
central tunnel to manually engage the
electric paring brake when the vehicle is
stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the electric
parking brake.
