the "all up" (position "1"). The load
platform can also be poeitioned obliquely
(inclined towards the rear seats) to ease
access to the area beneath the boot.
The load platform can be tipped, and it
comes with a handy washable plastic
covering for carrying wet or muddy items.

INTRODUCTION
The LPG version features two fuel supply
systems: one for petrol and one for LPG.
PASSIVE SAFETY / ACTIVE
SAFETY
Although the LPG system has numerous
safety features, it is advisable to proceed
as follows every time the car is not in use
for a long period or moved in an
emergency as a result of a breakdown or
accident:
unscrew the fixing devices A fig. 59,
then remove the cover B;
close the LPG cock rotating the ring C
refit the cover and retighten the
fastening devices.

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.

EOBD SYSTEM (European
On Board Diagnosis)
(where provided)
OPERATION
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) carries out a continuous
diagnosis of the components of the car
related to emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by switching on
the
warning light on the instrument
panel, together with a message on the
display, when these components are no
longer in peak condition (see “Warning
lights and messages” paragraph in this
chapter).
The aim of the EOBD system (European
On Board Diagnosis) is to:
monitor the efficiency of the system;indicate an increase in emissions;indicate the need to replace damaged
components.
The vehicle also has a connector, which
can interface with appropriate tools, that
makes it possible to read the error codes
stored in the electronic control units
together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can also be carried
out by the traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating a fault,
to check the system completely, a Jeep
Dealership is obliged to run tests and,
if necessary, road tests which may also
require a long journey.
