Warning light What it means
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light (or the icon on the display) on some versions switches on when the engine is
overheated. The display shows the dedicated message.
When driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully
open the cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light switches on (or
the icon is displayed) again, contact a Jeep Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down and, if
the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and
slightly accelerated to further favour the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check the correct
coolant level as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a
few minutes before switching it off.

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.

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.
