RAIN SENSOR(where provided)
This is located behind the interior rear
view mirror, in contact with the
windscreen and can detect the
presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windscreen
in accordance with the amount of
water on the screen.
Activation/deactivation
9) 10)
By acting on the display menu or on the
Uconnect™system you can
activate/deactivate the rain sensor. The
sensor can also be deactivated by
bringing the ignition device to STOP.
The activation of the sensor is signalled
by a "stroke" to show that the
command has been acquired.
If the ignition device is moved to STOP
position, leaving the ring nut A fig. 29
in1
or2, when the vehicle is
next started (ignition device at MAR),
no wiping cycle occurs even if it rains.
REAR WINDOW
WIPER/WASHER
Activation
Turn ring nut B fig. 29 from positionO
to position
to operate the rear
window wiper as follows:
❒in intermittent mode when the
windscreen wiper is not operating;❒in synchronous mode (at half the
speed of the windscreen wiper) when
the windscreen wiper is operating;
❒in continuous mode with reverse gear
engaged and the control active.
Position1
: intermittent operation
(low speed).
Position2
: continuous slow
operation.
With reverse gear engaged and
windscreen wiper on, the rear window
wiper is activated in continuous mode.
Pushing the stalk towards the
dashboard (unstable position) will
activate the rear window washer jet.
Keep the stalk pushed for more than
half a second to activate the rear
window wiper as well. Releasing the
stalk will activate the smart washing
function, as described for the
windscreen wiper.
Deactivation
Release the lever.
WARNING
20)Make sure the device is switched off
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.
8)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with blades lifted from the windscreen.
9)Do not activate the rain sensor while
washing the vehicle in an automatic
washing system.
10)If ice is found on the windscreen, make
sure that the device was disconnected
properly.
23
The detection area of the system
covers about a lane on both sides of
the vehicle (around 3 metres). This area
begins from the door mirror and
extends for about 6 metres towards the
rear part of the vehicle.
When the sensors are active the system
monitors the detection areas on both
sides of the vehicle and warns the
driver about the possible presence of
vehicles in these areas.
While driving the system monitors the
detection area from three different input
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether a signal needs to be sent
to the driver. The system can detect the
presence of a vehicle in one of these
three areas.
Important
63)The system does not signal the
presence of fixed object (e.g. safety
barriers, poles, walls, etc.). However, in
some circumstances, the system may
activate in the presence of these
objects. This is normal and does not
indicate a system malfunction.
The system does not warn the driver
about the presence of vehicles coming
from the opposite direction, in the
adjacent lanes.
If a trailer is hitched to the vehicle, the
system automatically deactivates.The rear bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the
road surface for the system to operate
correctly.
Do not cover the rear bumper area
where the radar sensors are located
with any object (e.g. adhesives, bike
rack, etc.).
Rear view: the system detects vehicles
approaching to the rear part of your
vehicle on both sides and entering the
rear detection area with a speed delta
lower than 50 km/h with respect to your
vehicle.
Overtaking vehicles: if another vehicle
is overtaken slowly (with a speed delta
lower than about 25 km/h) and this
stays in the blind spot for about 1.5
seconds, the warning light on the door
mirror of the corresponding side lights
up. If the speed delta between the
two vehicles is higher than about 25
km/h, the warning light does not light
up.
RCP (Rear Cross Path
detection) system
This system helps the driver during
reverse manoeuvres in the case of
reduced visibility. During "RCP"
operating mode, the system emits
acoustic and visual warnings if
the presence of an object is detected.
When an acoustic warning is sent,
theUconnect™volume is lowered.
The system can be activated/
deactivated through the display Menu
or theUconnect™system.
The system monitors the rear detection
areas on both sides of the vehicle, to
detect objects moving towards the
sides of the vehicle at a minimum
speed comprised between about 1
km/h and 3 km/h and objects moving
at a maximum speed of 35 km/h, as
generally happens in the parking areas.
The system activation is signalled to
the driver by means of a visual and
acoustic warning.
IMPORTANT If the sensors are covered
by objects or vehicles, the system will
not warn the driver.

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.

compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g.
vehicles that are driving not aligned with
yours, vehicle driving in a transverse or
opposite way on the same lane, bend with
a small radius of curvature), by road
surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure
the windscreen is always clean. Use
specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windscreen. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
46)Projecting loads on the roof of the
vehicle may interfere with the correct
operation of the camera. Before starting
make sure the load is correctly positioned,
in order not to cover the camera operating
range.
47)If the windscreen must be replaced
due to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively a Jeep Dealership. Do
not replace the windscreen on your own,
risk of malfunction! It is advisable to replace
the windscreen if it is damaged in the area
of the camera.48)Do not tamper nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure
