manage the cleaning of the windscreen
in accordance with the amount of
water on the screen.
Activation/deactivation

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

Warning light What it means
INJECTION/EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly.
The warning light on constantlysignals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system which could cause
high exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high consumption.
On some versions, the display shows the dedicated message.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but it is still stored by the system.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed but without demanding
excessive effort from the engine or high speed. Prolonged use of the vehicle with the warning light on
constantly may cause damage.
Contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged. Release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing.
Continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further flashing
and contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
14)
WARNING
14)If, turning the ignition device to MAR, thewarning light does not turn on or if it turns on steadily or flashing when travelling (on some
versions together with the message on the display), contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.

selected, the ESC system will not be
available in the event of emergency
manoeuvres. "Systems disabled" mode is
only for off-road use.AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
BSM (Blind Spot
Monitoring) SYSTEM
(where provided)
The system uses two radar sensors,
located in the rear bumper (one for
each side - see fig. 55), to detect the
presence of vehicles (vehicles, trucks,
motorbikes, etc.) in the rear side blind
spots of your vehicle.
The system warns the driver about the
presence of vehicles in the detection
area by lighting up, on the relevant side,
the warning light located on the door
mirror fig. 56, along with an acoustic
warning. When the vehicle is started the
warning light turns on to signal the
driver that the system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated engaging any
forward gear at a speed higher than
about 10 km/h, or engaging the reverse
gear.
The sensors are temporarily
deactivated with vehicle at a standstill
and the gear lever in position P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission),
or with vehicle at a standstill and
electric parking brake engaged
(versions with manual gearbox).

"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
WARNING PLUS SYSTEM
64) 65) 66) 67)
23) 24) 25) 26) 27) 28) 29) 30) 31)
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.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT
BELT HEIGHT
77) 78)Five different adjustments in height are
possible.
To carry out height adjustment, from
the top to the bottom, press button A
(located on both sides of handle B), and
slide the handle downwards.
The height adjuster moves upwards
even without pressing the two buttons
A.
Always adjust the height of the seat
belts to fit the person wearing it: this
precaution could greatly reduce the risk
of injury in the event of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
WARNING
75)Do not press button C fig. 63while
travelling.
76)Remember that, in the event of a
violent collision, back-seat passengers not
wearing seat belts represent a serious
danger to the front-seat passengers as well
as to themselves.
77)The height of the seat belts must be
adjusted with the vehicle stationary.
78)After the adjustment, always check that
the cursor to which the ring is fastened is
locked in one of the preset positions. To do
this, with button A fig. 65released, exert
a further pressure to allow the locking
device to click if the grip has not
been released in one of the possible
positions.
SBR (Seat Belt
Reminder) SYSTEM
The SBR system warns the passengers
of the front and rear (where provided)
seats if their seat belt is not fastened.
The system signals unfastened seat
belts with visual warnings (warning
lights on in the instrument panel and
icons on the display) and an acoustic
signal (see the following paragraphs).
NOTE To deactivate the acoustic
warning permanently go to a Jeep
Dealership. The acoustic warning can
be reactivated at any time through
the display Menu (see the "Display"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter).
Operation of front seat belt
warning light
When the ignition device is turned to
MAR, warning light
(see fig. 66) lights
up for a few seconds, regardless of
the status of the front belts.
With vehicle at a standstill, if the driver
side seat belt or the passenger side
seat belt (with occupant seated) is
unfastened, the warning light stays on
constantly.65J0A0151C

As soon as a speed threshold of 8
km/h is maintained for more than 10
continuous seconds (or 50
discontinuous seconds), with driver
side seat belt or the passenger side
seat belt (with occupant seated)
unfastened, an acoustic signal is
activated simultaneously with warning
light
flashing for about 105 seconds.
When this cycle of warnings is activated
it will stay on for its entire length
(regardless of the vehicle speed) or until
the seat belts are fastened again.
When the reverse is engaged, during
the cycle of warnings, the acoustic
signal is deactivated and the
warning
light turns on constantly. The cycle of
warnings will be reactivated as soon as
speed exceeds 8 km/h again.
Operation of rear seat belt
icons
The icons are shown on the display (fig.
67 versions with multifunction display
or fig. 68 versions with reconfigurable
multifunction display) after a few
seconds have elapsed since when the
ignition device is turned to MAR.

after the doors have been closed or
after a change in the seat belt fastening
status.
The icons shown on the display
