KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

TRIP COMPUTER
The “Trip computer” is used to display
information on vehicle operation when
the ignition device is at MAR.
This function is characterised by two
separate memories, called "Trip A" and
"Trip B", where the vehicle's "complete
missions" (journeys) are recorded in a
reciprocally independent manner.
“Trip A”allows the following values to be
displayed: "Distance travelled A",
"Average consumption A", "Journey time
(driving time) A".
“Trip B”allows the following values to be
displayed: "Distance travelled B",
"Average consumption B", "Journey time
(driving time) B". The “Trip B” function
may be excluded.
Both memories can be reset: (reset - start
of a new journey).
To reset the values of "Trip A" and "Trip
B" press and hold theOKbutton on the
steering wheel controls.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and(amber) warning lights with the engine on
indicates either a fault of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. The display shows the
dedicated message.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Jeep Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
POWER STEERING FAILURE
If the warning light remains on, you could not have steering assistance and the effort required to
operate the steering wheel could be increased; steering is, however, possible.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.
Contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Amber warning lights
Warning light What it means
TPMS SYSTEM
TPMS failure
If a TPMS failure is detected, the warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on fixed.
The display shows the dedicated message. This also happens if there are one or more wheels without
sensors, until initial conditions are restored.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. Repair immediately using the dedicated tyre repair kit
and contact the dedicated Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower
than the recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tyre
duration and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.
Should two or more tyres be in the condition mentioned above, the display will show the indications
corresponding to each tyre in sequence.
In any situation in which the message on the display is “See manual”, it is ESSENTIAL to refer to the
contents of the “Wheels” paragraph in the “Technical data” chapter and strictly comply with the
instructions you find there.
ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on to indicate an ABS fault. In this case the braking system maintains its
efficiency unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS system. The display shows the dedicated
message. Drive carefully and contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.

Warning light What it means
LANESENSE SYSTEM
Versions with multifunction display
The warning light switches on as follows:

lane lines are grey).
Warning light on and flashing (amber):the vehicle has approached the lane line and is about to pass it.
Warning light switched on continuously (green):the system has detected the limits of both lanes. The
system will act on the steering wheel if the lane was passed unintentionally.
Versions with reconfigurable multifunction display
On versions equipped with reconfigurable multifunction display, the warning light shown at the side is
replaced with dedicated graphic icons, displayed in the upper left area of the display. These icons are
displayed according to the same logic described for versions equipped with multifunction display (see
