AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring)
SYSTEM
(where provided)
The system uses two radar sensors,
located in the rear bumper (one for each
side - see fig. 72) to detect the presence
of vehicles (cars, trucks, motorbikes,
etc.) in the rear side blind spots of the
vehicle.
The system warns the driver about the
presence of cars in the detection area by
lighting up, on the relevant side, the
warning light located on the door mirror
fig. 73, along with an acoustic warning.
When the ignition device is in MAR
position, or when the engine is started,the warning light turns on to signal the
driver that the system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated by shifting to
any forward gear at a speed higher than
about 10 km/h, or when reverse is
engaged. The sensors are temporarily
deactivated with vehicle at a standstill
and the gear lever in position P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission),
or with vehicle at a standstill and electric
parking brake engaged (versions with
manual gearbox).
The detection area of the system covers
about a lane on both sides of the vehicle
(around 3 metres). This area begins from

SAFETY

putting the ignition device in the MAR
position.
IMPORTANT The system status can be
changed with vehicle at a standstill
only.
Activation/deactivation
If the Forward Collision Warning Plus
system has been correctly activated with
theUconnect™system, this will be active
each time the engine is started.
To deactivate the system, hold down the
button on the central tunnel. Following
a deactivation, the system will not warn
the driver about the possible collision
with the preceding vehicle, regardless of
the setting selected with the
Uconnect™system. To reactivate the
system press the
button again.
The system is only active if:
it is activated via the
Uconnect™system;
it has not been deactivated with a long
press of thebutton;the ignition device is at MAR;the vehicle speed is between 7 and
200 km/h;
the front seat belts are fastened.System limited operation warning
If the dedicated message is displayed, a
condition limiting the system operation
may have occurred. The possible reasons
of this limitation are something blocking
the camera view or a fault. If an
obstruction is signalled, clean the area of
the windscreen indicated in fig. 75 and
check that the message has disappeared.
In this case the system might be not
completely available.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to normal
and complete operation. Should the fault
persist, contact a Jeep Dealership.
Driving in special conditions
In certain driving conditions, such as, for
example:
driving close to a bend fig. 76;vehicles with small dimensions and/or
not aligned in the driving lane fig. 77;
lane change by other vehicles fig. 78;vehicles travelling at right angles to
the vehicle fig. 79;system intervention might be unexpected
or delayed. The driver must be very
careful to maintain control of the vehicle
and drive in complete safety.

Always adjust the height of the seat belts
to fit the person wearing it: this
precaution could greatly reduce the risk
of injury in the event of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when the
belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
WARNING
80)Never press button C fig. 80 when
travelling.81)Remember that, in the event of an
accident, the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
82)Make height adjustment of the seat
belts when the car is stationary.
83)After height adjustment, always check
that the cursor to which the ring is
fastened is locked in one of the preset
positions. To do this, with button A
fig. 82 released, exert further pressure
downwards to allow the locking device to
click if the grip has not been released in
one of the possible positions.
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder)
SYSTEM
The SBR system warns the passengers of
the front and rear (where provided) seats
if their seat belt is not fastened.
The system warnings unfastened seat
belts with visual warnings (warning lights
on in the instrument panel and icons on
the display) and an acoustic warning (see
the following paragraphs).
NOTE To deactivate the acoustic warning
permanently go to a Jeep Dealership. The
acoustic warning can be reactivated at
any time through the display menu (see
the "Display" paragraph in the "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter).
Front seat belt warning light behaviour
When the ignition device is turned to
MAR, warning light
fig. 83 ) comes on
for a few seconds, regardless of the
status of the front seat belts.
With car at a standstill, if the driver side
seat belt or the passenger side seat belt
(with occupant seated) is unfastened, the
warning light stays on constantly.

As soon as a speed threshold of 8 km/h
is maintained for more than
10 continuous seconds (or
50 discontinuous seconds), with driver
side seat belt or the passenger side seat
belt (with occupant seated) unfastened,
an acoustic signal is activated
simultaneously with warning light
flashing for about 105 seconds.
When this cycle of warnings is activated
it will stay on for its entire length
(regardless of the car speed) or until the
seat belts are fastened again.When the reverse is engaged, during the
cycle of warnings, the acoustic warning is
deactivated and the
warning light
turns on constantly. The cycle of
warnings will be reactivated as soon as
speed exceeds 8 km/h again.
Operation of rear seat belt icons
The icons are shown on the display
(fig. 84 versions with multifunction
display or fig. 85 versions with
reconfigurable multifunction display)
after a few seconds have elapsed since
when the ignition device is turned to
MAR.
The icons turn off at least 30 seconds
after the doors have been closed or after
a change in the seat belt fastening
status.

SAFETY

The icons shown on the display indicate:A: rear left seat belt;B: rear central seat belt;C: rear right seat belt.
NOTE On versions equipped with
multifunction display, if a seat belt is
unfastened, the
icon lights up.
The icons are displayed according to the
corresponding seat belts in the rear
seats, and stay on for about 30 seconds
from the last seat belt status change:
if the seat belt is fastenedthe
corresponding icon will be green;
if the seat belt is unfastenedthe
corresponding icon will be red.
If a rear seat belt is unfastened, an
acoustic warning (3 "beeps") will beactivated along with the relevant icon
lighting up in the display.
Furthermore the icons will light up again
for 90 seconds each time one of the rear
doors is closed.
The icon will turn green after the
corresponding seat belt has been
fastened.
The rear seat icons will go out, regardless
of the state of the belt (red icon or green
icon), approximately 30 seconds after the
last signal.
IMPORTANT NOTES
As far as the rear seats are concerned,
the SBR system will only indicate
whether the seat belts are unfastened
(red icon) or fastened (green icon), not
the presence of any passengers.
The warning lights/icons are all off if all
seat belts (front and rear) are fastened
when the ignition device is at MAR.
For the rear seats, the icons will activate
a few seconds after the ignition device
has been turned to MAR, regardless of
the status of the seat belts (even if the
seat belts are all fastened).
All the warning lights/icons will come on
when at least one belt changes from
fastened to unfastened status or vice
versa.
PRETENSIONERS
84) 85) 86) 87)43)
The vehicle is equipped with front seat
belt pretensioners, which draw back the
seat belts by several centimetres in the
event of a strong frontal impact. This
guarantees the perfect adherence of the
seat belts to the occupant's bodies before
the retention action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
toward the retractor.
This vehicle is also equipped with a
second pretensioner (fitted in the kick
plate area). Its activation is signalled by
the shortening of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not indicate any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any changes
to its original conditions will invalidate
its efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events (floods,
sea storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and/or mud, contact a
Jeep Dealership to have it replaced.
