This operates only with the ignition
device at MAR.
Ring nut A fig. 29 can be set to the
following positions:
windscreen wiper off.
1intermittent operation (low
speed)
2intermittent operation (high
speed);
LOWcontinuous slow operation.
HIGHcontinuous fast operation.Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST function:
operation is limited to the time for which
the stalk is held in this position. When
released, the stalk will return to its
default position and the windscreen
wiper will be automatically stopped.
This function is useful to remove small
deposits of dust from the windscreen,
or morning dew.
IMPORTANT This function does not
activate the windscreen washer;
windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen
washer fluid onto the windscreen, the
washing function must be used.
With ring nut A in position1
or2
, the windscreen wiper will
automatically adapt its operating speed
to the speed of the vehicle.
"Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled to activate both
the windscreen washer jet and the
windscreen wiper with a single
movement; the latter turns on
automatically.
The wiper stops working three strokes
after the stalk is released. A further
stroke after approximately 6 seconds
completes the cycle.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

in/out of the vehicle at night or in
poorly-lit areas, two timed modes have
been provided.
❒when getting into the vehicle;
❒when getting out of the vehicle.

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions. For this
reason, Jeep has planned a series of
checks and services at fixed distance
intervals and, where provided, at fixed
time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Jeep Dealerships according to a set
time schedule. If, during each
operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may
be carried out with your explicit
agreement only. If your vehicle is used
frequently for towing, the interval
between one service operation and the
next should be reduced.IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
Coupons are required by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Jeep
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long
journeys, check and if necessary, top
up: engine coolant level; brake fluid
level; screen washer fluid level; tyre
inflation pressure and condition; lighting
system operation (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
screen washer/wiper system operation
and positioning/wear of windscreen/
rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
HEAVY-DUTY USE OF THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle is used under one of the
following conditions: towing a trailer
or caravan; dusty roads; short (less
than 7-8 km), repeated journeys with
sub-zero outside temperatures; engine
often idling or driving long distances
at low speed or long periods of
inactivity, the following checks must be
carried out more often than indicated
in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:❒check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect condition of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and
rubber elements (boots/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
❒visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts;
❒check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.
On versions with automatic
transmission, change transmission oil
and replace oil filter every 60,000 km
(40,000) or every 4 years.

ENGINE OIL
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick A. If the oil level is near or even
under the MIN line, add oil using the
filler B to reach the MAX line.
166)59)
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick.
Engine oil consumption
60)4)
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of use the
engine oil consumption conditions
should be considered as having
stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000
km.
ENGINE COOLANT
If the level is too low, unscrew the cap
of reservoir C and add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" section.
167)61)
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER FLUID
If the level is too low, lift reservoir cap D
and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
168) 169)
IMPORTANT The headlight washer
system will not operate when the fluid
level is low, even though the
windscreen/rear window washer
continues to operate. On some
versions there is a reference notch on
the dipstick: ONLY the windscreen/rear
window washer operates with the
level below this reference.
BRAKE FLUID
Check that the fluid is at the max. level.
If the fluid level in the reservoir is too
low, undo reservoir cap E and add the
fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".

AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
ACTIVATION SYSTEM OIL
The transmission control oil level should
only be checked at a Jeep Dealership.
5)
BATTERY
172) 173) 174) 175)6)
The battery does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled
water. A periodic check carried out at
a Jeep Dealership is, however,
necessary to check efficiency.
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this
procedure turn the steering wheel all
the way from one end to the other
or drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes. Have the
system inspected at a Jeep Dealership
before the summer.
