with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by a Jeep Dealership before
driving again.
3)Always take the key with you when you
leave your vehicle to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the electric parking
brake. Never leave children unattended
in the vehicle.
4)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft device) that
could adversely affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and also
result in the vehicle not meeting type-
approval requirements.
5)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is

Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers. This air distribution setting heats the passenger compartment most quickly,
giving a prompt sensation of warmth.
+Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers (hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents (cooler air). This
distribution setting is useful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
+Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers and windscreen and front side window defrosting/demisting diffusers.
This distribution setting allows the passenger compartment to be warmed up efficiently and prevents the windows
from misting up.
+Air flow distribution between windscreen demisting/defrosting diffusers and side and central dashboard vents. This
allows air to be sent to the windscreen in conditions of strong sunlight.
++Air flow distribution to all diffusers on the vehicle.
I - heated rear window on/off button; (where this function is provided, pressing the button also activates demisting/defrosting of
the door mirrors);
L - passenger side temperature adjustment knob;
M - SYNC function activation button (alignment of set temperatures) driver/passenger side;
N - AUTO function activation button (automatic operation).
In AUTO mode, the climate control
system automatically manages air
distribution (the LEDs on buttons H are
off). When set manually, the air
distribution is shown by the LEDs on
the selected buttons.
In combined function mode the relevant
function is enabled simultaneously
with those already set by pressing the
corresponding button. If a button
whose function is already active is
pressed, its operation is cancelled and
the corresponding LED switches off.
To restore automatic control of the
air distribution after a manual selection,
press the AUTO button.NOTES
The automatic climate control manages
the Stop/Start system (engine off and
vehicle at a standstill) in order to
guarantee sufficient comfort inside the
vehicle. In particularly severe climate
conditions it is recommended to limit
the use of the Stop/Start system to
prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with
consequent rapid misting of the
windows and accumulation of humidity
with unpleasant smells in the passenger
compartment.When the Stop/Start system is on
(engine off and vehicle at a standstill),
the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking
air in from outside, to reduce the
probability of the windows misting up
(as the compressor is off).

ANTI-PINCH DEVICE
The sun roof and the electric blind are
equipped with an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle whilst the roof
is closing: if this happens, the system
intervenes and the movement of the
glass is immediately reversed.
EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the control buttons fail to operate, the
sun blind and the sun roof can be
moved manually, proceeding as
described below:
❒Sun blind movement: remove
protective cap A fig. 34 on the internal
trim;

completely closed: the initialisation
procedure has ended.
WARNING
22)When leaving the vehicle (equipped
with mechanical key with a remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to avoid the risk of injury to those
still inside the vehicle due to accidental
operation of the sun roof. Improper use of
the roof can be dangerous. Before and
during operation, always check that
nobody is at risk of being injured by the
moving sun roof or by objects getting
caught or hit by it.
WARNING
11)Do not open the sun roof if a
transverse roof rack is fitted. Do not open

42)ESC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary
or unfounded risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
43)For the correct operation of the TC
system, the tyres must of necessity be the
same make and type on all wheels, in
perfect condition and, above all, of the
prescribed type and size.
44)TC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unfounded risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
45)The TC system can’t overrule the
natural laws of physics, and can’t increase
the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
46)The TC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
47)The capability of the TC must never be
tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
48)The PBA system can’t overrule the
natural laws of physics, and can’t increase
the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
49)The PBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.50)The capability of the PBA system must
never be tested irresponsibly and
dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise the safety of the driver, the
other occupants of the vehicle or any other
road user.
51)The Hill Start Assist system is not a
parking brake; therefore, never leave the
vehicle without having engaged the electric
parking brake, turned the engine off and
engaged first gear, so that it is parked
in safe conditions (for further information
read the "Parking" paragraph in the
"Starting and driving" chapter).
52)There may be situations on small
gradients (less than 8%), with vehicle
laden, in which the Hill Start Assist system
may not activate, causing a slight reversing
motion and increasing the risk of collision
with another vehicle or object. The driver is,
in any case, responsible for safe driving.
53)DST is an aid for driving and does not
relieve the driver of responsibility for driving
the vehicle.
54)The performance of a vehicle with ERM
must never be tested in imprudent or
dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver or other
people at risk.
55)When towing trailers, the utmost
caution at the wheel is advised. Never
exceed the maximum permitted loads (see
the description in the "Weights" paragraph
in the "Technical Specifications" chapter).56)The TSC system cannot prevent
swerving for all trailers. If the system
activates during driving, reduce the speed,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and arrange
the load correctly to prevent the trailer
from swerving.
57)Prolonged use of the system may
overheat the braking system. If the brakes
overheat, the HDC system, when active,
will be gradually deactivated after suitably
informing the driver (LED on button off):
it can be reactivated only when the brakes
have cooled sufficiently. The distance
that can be covered depends on the
temperature of the brakes and therefore on
the gradient, load and speed of the
vehicle.
58)The performance of a vehicle with HDC
must never be tested in imprudent or
dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver or other
people at risk.
59)When "Systems partially disabled"
mode is selected, the intervention of the
TC function is limited to braking action on
the individual drive wheels and the
warning lights switches on in the
instrument panel. In "systems partially
disabled" mode, the engine torque value
that the ESC system may require will
not be guaranteed and the stability of the
vehicle will therefore be reduced.
60)With "Systems partially disabled" mode
selected, the TSC (Trailer Sway Control)
system is disabled.
61)Your driving style must always be
suited to the road conditions, visibility and
traffic. The driver is, in any case,
responsible for safe driving.
