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.
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 the ring A in
position
, the windscreen wiper is not
activated. In position, the pause time
between the strokes of the windscreenwiper is 10 seconds, independently of
the vehicle speed. In position
, the
pause time between two strokes is set
according to the vehicle speed: when the
speed increases, the time between two
strokes decreases. In positionLOorHI,
the windscreen wiper moves
continuously, i.e. without a pause
between two strokes.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
When the stalk is held pulled for longer
than half a second, the windscreen wiper
moves with active control. Releasing the
stalk will activate three strokes.
With the ring A in theLOorHIposition,
the smart washing function is not
performed.
The windscreen wiper stops working
three strokes after the stalk is released.
IMPORTANT If the stalk is activated for
less than half a second, only the
windscreen washer jet is activated. Do
not prolong the activation of the "Smart
Washing" function for more than
30 seconds. Do not activate the
windscreen washer control when the
reservoir is empty.RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
9) 10)
It is located behind the interior rear view
mirror, in contact with the windscreen,
and can detect the presence of rain and,
consequently, manage the automatic
windscreen wiping mode depending on
the amount of water on the screen (see
the “Automatic Wiping” paragraph).
The sensor will be activated when the
ignition device is turned to MAR, and will
be disabled with the ignition device in
the STOP position.
Automatic Wiping

WARNING
21)Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.
IMPORTANT
7)Never use the windscreen wipers 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
restarting the engine, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
8)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
9)Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.
10)Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.

Operation
The automatic dual zone climate control
system regulates the air temperatures in
the passenger compartment in two zones:
driver side and passenger side.
The system maintains comfort inside the
passenger compartment and
compensates for possible variations in
outside weather conditions.
The automatically controlled parameters
and functions are:
air temperature at the driver/front
passenger side vents;
air distribution at the driver/front
passenger side vents;
fan speed (continuous variation of the
air flow);
compressor engagement (for
cooling/dehumidifying the air);
air recirculation.
All these functions can be adjusted
manually by operating the system and
selecting one or more functions and
modifying their parameters.
The temperature of the air sent is always
automatically controlled according to the
temperature set on the display (exceptfor when the system is off or in certain
conditions when the compressor is not
running).
Notes
Do not apply stickers to the inside of the
heated rear window over the heating
filaments, to avoid damage that might
cause them to stop working properly.
Internal air recirculation makes it
possible to reach the required ("heating"
or "cooling") conditions more quickly
depending on the mode selected. Do not
use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside.
The dual zone automatic climate control
manages the Stop&Start system (engine
off and car at a standstill) in order to
guarantee sufficient comfort inside the
car.
With Stop&Start function on (engine off
and car stopped), the flow is reduced as
much as possible, to keep the
compartment comfort conditions for
longer.

CLOSING
Proceed as follows:hold the bonnet up with one hand and
with the other remove the stay from the
housing E and fit it back in locking
device D;
lower the bonnet to approximately
40 centimetres from the engine
compartment and let it drop. Make sure
that the bonnet is completely closed and
not only fastened by the locking device
by trying to open it. If it is not perfectly
closed, do not try to press the bonnet lid
down but open it and repeat the
procedure.
26) 27)
IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the vehicle is
travelling. Since the bonnet is
equipped with a double locking
system, one for each side, you must
check that is closed on both its side
ends.
WARNING
24)The bonnet may drop suddenly if the
supporting rod is not positioned correctly.25)Use both hands to lift the bonnet.
Before lifting, check that the windscreen
wiper arms are not raised from the
windscreen or in operation, that the
vehicle is stationary and that the electric
parking brake is engaged.
26)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock
is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
27)Perform these operations only when
the car is stationary.

LPG TANK
17)
The car has a (pressurised) tank A
fig. 61 for storing LPG in a liquid state.
It is toroidal and is located in the spare
wheel compartment with suitable
protection.LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.
In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the car registration date. If the
car has been registered in a country other
than Italy, the duration and the
testing/inspection procedures of the LPG
tank can vary depending on the national
provisions in force in that country. In all
case, when the time limit for your country
has expired, go to a Jeep Dealer to have the
tank replaced.
LPG/PETROL SWITCH
31)
18) 19) 20)
This engine normally runs on LPG except
during starting when it runs on petrol.
Switching to LPG is automatic.
To change fuel type, press the button
fig. 62 on the tunnel with the car
stationary and engine running or while
driving.
If you expressly want to run on petrol,
press the located on the central tunnel.
The switching on of the LED located
above the button and of the green
symbol on the display indicates that
the switching request has taken place
correctly.

The four bars on the digital indicator
near the letters LPG on the instrument
panel display indicate the level of LPG in
the tank. Switching is confirmed by the
switching on/off of the
symbol on the
display.
REFUELLING
LPG
21) 22) 23)
Maximum refuelling capacity (including
reserve): 38 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required for
priming and the maximum permitted
capacity.In addition, after different
refuelling processes, this figure may varydue to differences between the network
pump supply pressures, pumps having
different supply/locking features, tank not
completely run out of fuel.
IMPORTANT In order to avoid
inconsistent information by the LPG
gauge on the instrument panel, it is
recommended to refill with at least
10 litres each time.
WARNING
29)Note that in some countries (including
Italy) there are legal restrictions in force
for parking/garaging motor cars fuelled by
gas that is denser than air; LPG comes
under this category.
30)If gas is smelt, switch from LPG
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to a Jeep Dealership to
have the car checked and possible system
faults excluded.
31)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the
engine.
32)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.
IMPORTANT
14)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between -20°C and 100°C.
15)The car is equipped with a gaseous
LPG injection system designed specifically
for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden
to alter the configuration of the system or
its components. The use of other
components or materials could cause
malfunctions and lead to a reduction in
safety; therefore, in the case of problems,
contact a Jeep Dealership. When towing or
lifting the car, follow the instructions in
the main handbook under the paragraph
on "Towing the car" to prevent damage to
the gas system parts.
16)When painting in an oven, the LPG
tank must be removed from the car and
later refitted by a Jeep Dealership.
17)Periodically (at least once every six
months) it is advisable to let the LPG in
the tank run out and, at the first
refuelling, to check that it does not exceed
the maximum capacity of 38 litres (reserve
included) (with a tolerance of 2 litres
excess). If the level is above 38 litres
(reserve included) contact a Jeep
Dealership immediately.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

18)Regardless of the last fuel system
used, at the following engine starting, after
the initial petrol stage, the system will
automatically switch to LPG.
19)When switching is requested, metallic
noise from the valves which pressurise the
circuit can be heard. For the switching
logic described above, a delay between the
valve ticking and the switching off of the
instrument panel indication is completely
normal.20)In particular usage conditions, such as
starting and operation at low ambient
temperature or LPG supply with low
propane content, the system may switch
temporarily to petrol operation, without a
visual indication of switching on the
instrument panel. In the event of low LPG
levels in the tank or requests for high
performance (e.g. overtaking, vehicle fully
laden, steep hills) the system may
automatically switch to running on petrol
to guarantee the required engine power;
the green icon
on the instrument panel
display turns on to indicate this. When the
above conditions are no longer present,
the system automatically restores LPG
operating mode; the green symbol
switches off. To achieve the automatic
switching described above, make sure that
there is always enough fuel in the petrol
tank.
21)Only use LPG for motor vehicles.
22)It is strictly forbidden to use any
additive in the LPG.23)Periodically (at least once every six
months) it is advisable to let the LPG in
the tank run out and, at the first
refuelling, to check that it does not exceed
the maximum capacity of 38 litres (reserve
included) (with a tolerance of 2 litres
excess). If the level is above 38 litres
(reserve included) contact a Jeep
Dealership immediately.
