SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

ENGINE OIL
179)84)
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.
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
85)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
180)86)
If the level is too low, unscrew the cap of
reservoir C and add the fluid described in
the "Technical Specifications" section.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHER FLUID
181) 182)
If the level is too low, lift reservoir cap D
and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
BRAKE FLUID
183) 184)87)
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 /
TWIN CLUTCH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION ACTUATION
SYSTEM OIL
5)
The transmission control oil level should
only be checked at a Jeep Dealership.
BATTERY
185) 186) 187) 188)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.
WARNING
177)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and
inflammable vapours may be present, with
the risk of fire.

eco:Drive™ display
Press theeco:Drive™button to interact
with the function. A screen will be
displayed showing the 4 indices
described above. These indices are grey
until the system has enough data to
evaluate the driving style.
Once sufficient data are available, the
indices will have 5 colours depending on
the evaluation: dark green (very good),
light green, yellow, orange and red (very
bad).
In case of prolonged stops, the screen
will show the average indexes obtained
up to that moment (the "Average Index")
to later start recolouring the indexes in
real time when the car starts moving
again.
Trip data storage and transfer
The trip data can be stored in the system
memory and transferred through a
properly configured USB memory stick or
by theUconnect™LIVE App. This allows
you to display the history of the collected
data, showing the complete analysis of
the trip data and of your driving style. For
further information visit the
www.driveuconnect.eu website
IMPORTANT Do not remove the USB
memory stick nor unpair the
smartphone and theUconnect™LIVEApp before the system has downloaded
the data, since these could be lost.
During the transfer of data to the
devices, messages may appear on the
radio display to guide the user
correctly through the operation; follow
these instructions. These messages are
viewed only on the starter device in
STOP position and when a delay is set
in turning off the system. The data are
automatically transferred to the
devices when the engine is switched
off. Transferred data will be deleted
from the system memory in this
manner. You can choose to store the
trip data or not, by pressing the
"Settings" button and by setting the
storage activation and the USB or
Cloud transfer mode.
When the USB key memory is full, the
radio screen will show messages to that
effect.
When theeco:Drive™data have not been
transferred to the USB key for a while,
the internal memory systemUconnect
™LIVEcould become saturated: in this
case, follow the recommendations
provided by the messages on the
Uconnect™screen.my:Car
my:Car allows you to keep the condition
of your car always under control.
The my:Car application is capable of
detecting malfunctioning in real time and
lets the driver know about the expiry of
maintenance coupons.
To interact with the application, press the
graphic button "my:Car": on the screen
there is a section "care:Index" where all
the detailed information on the car's
status will be shown. Pressing the
graphic button "Active signalling" you can
see (if there are any) the details of the
fault detected on the car which has
caused a warning light to go on.
The car's status can be viewed on both
the www.driveuconnect.eu and viaApp
Uconnect™LIVE.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
(where provided)
The Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
applications allow you to use your
smartphone in the car safely and
intuitively. To enable them, connect a
compatible smartphone to the car's USB
and the phone's contents will be
automatically shown on theUconnect™
system display.
To check the compatibility of your
smartphone, see the indications on the
322
MULTIMEDIA

WARNING
MySky SUN ROOFWhile refitting the panels, pay special attention to prevent any trapping of fingers, scarves, ties and loose clothing; they might be
trapped under the panels themselves.
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
Before driving, make sure that the transversal bars have been fitted properly.
SUGGESTIONS FOR DRIVING
If the engine stalls, the vehicle skids or it is not possible to drive in a straight line on the top of a hill or a road with a gradient, do not try
to do a U-turn for any reason. This operation would result in the vehicle rolling over. Back up on the stretch of road with a gradient, shifting
to reverse and proceeding with the utmost care. Do not travel downhill with gearbox in neutral and using only the brake.
The presence of abrasive material on the brakes may cause excessive wear or adversely affect its correct operation. If the vehicle is
driven in particularly dusty environments, have the brakes checked and cleaned as necessary.
INTERIORS
Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic charges which
are generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause a fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: danger of explosion. Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50°C. When
the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the internal temperature can greatly exceed this value.
There must be no obstacles on the floor underneath the pedals; make sure that mats are always flat and do not interfere with the pedals.
SUPPLY
Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications into
account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
