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.

clockwise:

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.

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.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR(where provided)
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system
advises the driver to change gear through
a special indication on the display.
Through the GSI, the driver is informed
that the gear change will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
SHIFT UP (
SHIFT) icon on the
display: suggests switching to a higher
gear.
SHIFT DOWN (
SHIFT) icon on the
display: suggests switching to a lower
gear.
The indication in the display remains
until a gear is shifted or the driving
conditions go back to a situation where
gearshifting is not required to improve
consumption.
CONTROL BUTTONS
These are located on the left side of the
steering wheel fig. 69.They allow the driver to select the items
in the Main menu of the display (see
paragraph "Main menu").
/: press and release the
buttons to scroll the main menu and the
submenus upwards or downwards.
/: press and release the buttons
to access the info screens or the
submenus of an item of the main menu.
Button
allows you to exit the Main
menu.
OK: press this button to access/select
the info screens or the submenus of an
item of the main menu. Hold the button
pressed for one second to reset the
displayed/selected functions.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Symbol What it means
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR FAILURE
The symbol switches on constantly together with the message in the display in the case of engine oil
pressure sensor failure.
LPG FUEL RESERVE
The symbol switches on when the residual quantity of LPG drops below 1/5 of the tank capacity. Refuel
with LPG in this case.
87

On some versions, with mode engaged,
the display shows "4WD LOW". The LED
on theSelec-Terrain™device may flash
until the end of the engagement.
4WD LOW mode release
The release can occur at any speed
ranging from 0 to 120 km/h.
On some versions, "4WD LOW" on the
display switches off at the end of the
release procedure.
In this case, the LED on the 4WD LOW
button is off.
IMPORTANT
51)The correct operation of the 4WD
function depends on the tyres: all of them
must have the same size, the same type
and the same circumference. Using tyres
with different sizes has negative effects on
the gear change and damages the
components of the transmission.
52)Do not drive at speeds exceeding those
that the road conditions allow for.
SELEC-TERRAIN
DRIVING MODE SELECTION
Turn knob A fig. 111 to select the
desired mode.
IMPORTANT Changing mode is not
possible when the vehicle speed is
over 120 km/h.
AUTO (Automatic): the 4WD mode with
continuous and automatic operation can
be used while driving on road and
off-road. This mode reduces fuel
consumption, because the propeller shaft
can be disconnected, whenever required.
SNOW: this mode can achieve more
stability on slippery or snow-covered
grounds. To be used for driving on-road
and off-road in the case of grounds with
poor grip, such as roads covered by snow.
SAND: off-road driving mode to be
used on surfaces with poor grip, such as
sandy surfaces. The transmission is set
to offer a maximum traction.
MUD: off-road driving mode for
surfaces with poor grip, such as
mud-covered grounds or wet grass.
ROCK(where provided, for Trailhawk
versions only): this mode is only available
if the 4WD LOW mode is activated. The
device sets the car to maximise traction
and give the highest steering capacity on
off-road surfaces featuring a high grip.
This mode guarantees the best "off-road"
performance. This mode must be used to
pass over obstacles at slow speed, such
as large rocks, deep cracks, etc.
When the engine is started, the AUTO
mode is automatically selected (LED on
close to the AUTO wording).
Turning the knob A fig. 111 the LED
close to the AUTO wording comes on

filler cap. It has a check valve, located in
the filler body itself.
To access the LPG filler, open the access
flap A fig. 132 and undo the cap B.Observe the following precautions during
the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;engage the electric parking brake;put the ignition device in the STOP
position;
do not smoke;hand the special adapter A
fig. 133 over to the qualified LPG
refuelling personnel.
IMPORTANT Depending on the
country, there are various types of
adapters for LPG refuelling pumps.
Filler adapter, supplied with the
vehicle and located in a special case,
is specifically designed for the country
