GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

E - air distribution knob:
air from central outlets and side vents
air from central outlets, side vents and front and rear footwell vents
air outlet from the front and rear footwell vents and a light air flow also from the side vents on the dashboard
air outlet from the front and rear footwell vents, to the windscreen, the side windows and a light air flow also at the side
vents on the dashboard
air outlet to the windscreen, the side windows and a light air flow also at the side vents on the dashboard
4 further intermediate positions are also possible in the 5 main distributions described above.
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.

❒connect the other end of the cable
used for positive (+) to the positive
terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery;
❒connect one end of the cable used
for negative (–) to the negative terminal
(–) of the auxiliary battery;
❒Connect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to an engine earth
(the visible metal part of the vehicle
engine with flat battery) away from the
battery and the fuel injection system;
❒start the vehicle engine with the
auxiliary battery, let it run for a
few minutes at idling. Start the engine
of the vehicle with flat battery.
Cable disconnection.
Once the engine has been started,
remove the cables proceeding as
follows:
❒disconnect the end of the cable used
for negative (–) from the engine earth
of the vehicle with flat battery;
❒disconnect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to the negative
terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery;
❒disconnect the end of the cable used
for positive (+) to the positive terminal
(+) of the auxiliary battery;
❒disconnect one end of the cable
used for positive (+) from the positive
terminal (+) of the vehicle with flat
battery;If it is often necessary to perform an
emergency starting, have the vehicle
battery and the recharging system
checked by a Jeep Dealership.
IMPORTANT Any accessories (e.g.
mobile phones, etc.) connected to the
vehicle current sockets, draw current
even if they are not used. These
devices, if left connected too much time
with engine off, may cause the battery
to drain with following reduction of
its life and/or failure to start the engine.
WARNING
157)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Pay attention to scarves,
ties and other loose clothing which might
be pulled by moving parts.
158)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
159)Batteries contain acid which may burn
skin and eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Thus keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
WARNING
56)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery. The
following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use any
other exposed metallic part.

IN AN EMERGENCY

WARNING
164)Never smoke when performing
operations in the engine compartment.
Flammable gases and fumes may be
present and risk igniting.
165)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned.
166)If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler plug, particularly for
vehicles with aluminium plug (where
provided). CAUTION: risk of burns!
167)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the cap with
another original one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do
not remove the reservoir cap when the
engine is hot: risk of burns.
168)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer reservoir empty: the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility.
Repeated operation of the system without
fluid could damage or cause rapid
deterioration of some system components.
169)Certain commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluids are inflammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may set it on fire.
170)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.171)The
symbol on the container
indicates a synthetic brake fluid, which is
different from a mineral fluid. Using a
mineral fluid will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
172)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
173)Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
174)If the vehicle must remain unused for
a long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.
175)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
WARNING
58)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they
are not compatible with each other!
Topping up with an unsuitable fluid could
severely damage your vehicle.
59)The oil level should never exceed the
MAX mark.
60)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already in the engine.61)PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze fluid is used in
the engine cooling system; use the same
fluid type as that already in the cooling
system when topping up. PARAFLU
UP
may not be mixed with other types of
anti-freeze fluids. In the event of topping up
with an unsuitable product, under no
circumstances start the engine and contact
a Jeep Dealership.
62)Avoid allowing brake fluid, which is
extremely corrosive, to come into contact
with painted areas. Should it happen, wash
immediately with water.
63)Incorrect assembly of electrical and
electronic accessories may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Go to a Jeep
Dealership if you want to install accessories
(e.g. anti-theft, radio phone, etc.): they will
suggest the most suitable devices and
advise you whether a higher capacity
battery needs to be installed.
WARNING
4)Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. You are advised to contact a
Jeep Dealership to have the oil and filters
changed.
5)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the
environment. It is advisable to contact a
Jeep Dealership for oil changes.
6)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
