Window opening
Push the buttons to open the desired
window.
When any of the opening buttons on front
or rear doors is pressed briefly, the
window moves in stages; if the button is
held down, "continuous automatic"
operation is activated.
If the button is pressed again, the
window will stop in the desired position.
Window closing
Lift the buttons to close the desired
window.
The window closing stage occurs
following the same logic described for
the opening stage, for the front door
windows only.
The rear door windows can only be closed
"in stages".
Front window anti-pinch safety device
(where provided)
This safety system can recognise the
presence of any obstacle during the
window closing movement. If this occurs,
the system stops the window's movement
and reverts it by a few centimetres,
depending on its position.
The anti-crush safety function isactivated both during the manual and the
automatic operation of the window.
Electric window system initialisation
If power supply is interrupted, the
electric window automatic operation
must be reinitialised.
The initialisation procedure described
below must be carried out with the doors
closed and for each door:
fully close the window to be
initialised, with manual operation;
after the window has reached the
upper end of travel, hold the up button
down for at least 3 seconds.
WARNING
22)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during their

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

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.
NOTE “Range” and “Instantaneous fuel
consumption" parameters cannot be
reset.

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.
