Important notesThe system has not been designed to
prevent impacts and cannot detect
possible conditions leading to anaccident in advance. Failure to take into
account this warning may lead to serious
or fatal injuries.
The system may be activated,
assessing the trajectory of the car, in
case of reflecting metal objects different
from other cars, such as safety barriers,
road signs, barriers before parking lots,
tollgates, level crossings, gates, railways,
objects near road constructions sites or
higher than the car (e.g. a flyover). In the
same way, the system may intervene
inside multi-storey car parks or tunnels,
or due to a glare on the road surface.
These possible activations follow the
normal operating logic of the system and
must not be regarded as faults.
The system has been designed for
road use only. If the car is driven
off-road, the system must be deactivated,
to avoid unnecessary warnings. By
selecting the 4WD LOW mode, the
system is automatically deactivated.
Automatic deactivation is indicated by
the dedicated warning light/icon
switching on in the instrument panel.
The system is only active if a trailer
has not been connected with the original
tow hook.
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System)
(where provided)
73) 74) 75) 76) 77) 78) 79)42)
The TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System) reports low tyre pressure based
on the cold pressure indicated in the
"Technical specifications” chapter.
The system consists of a radio-frequency
transmitter sensor fitted to each wheel
(on the rim inside the tyre), which sends
information on the inflation pressure of
each tyre to the control unit.
The system automatically updates and
warning light
switches off each time
the system receives the updated inflation
pressures. The vehicle might need to be
driven at a speed higher than about
25 km/h up to 20 minutes for the TPMS
to receive this information.
IMPORTANT The TPMS is designed for
original tyres and wheels. The
pressures and alarms reported by the
TPMS are defined according to the
size of the tyres fitted on the vehicle.
Using spare wheels of a different sizes,
types and/or designs from the original
ones may cause the system to operate
incorrectly and damage the sensors.
Aftermarket fitted wheels may damage
the sensors. Using aftermarket tyre

BATTERY RECHARGING
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT After placing the ignition
device to STOP and having closed the
driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery.
When reconnecting the electrical
supply to the battery, make sure that
the ignition device is in the STOP
position and the driver side door is
closed.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.
IMPORTANT The cables of the
electrical system must be correctly
reconnected to the battery, i.e. the
positive cable (+) to the positive
terminal and the negative cable (–) to
the negative terminal. The battery
terminals are marked with the positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols, and are
shown on the battery cover. The battery
terminals must also be corrosion-free
and firmly secured to the terminals. If
a "quick-type" battery charger is used
with the battery fitted on the vehicle,before connecting it disconnect both
cables of the battery itself. Do not use
a "quick-type" battery charger to
provide the starting voltage.
VERSIONS WITHOUT
STOP/START SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the charger;when it is recharged, turn the charger

carefully before setting off.
RECEPTION CONDITIONS
Reception conditions change constantly
while driving. Reception may be
interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges,
especially when you are far away from
the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be
increased when receiving traffic
information and news.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Observe the following precautions to
ensure the system is fully operational:
the display lens should not come into
contact with pointed or rigid objects
which could damage its surface; use a
soft, dry anti-static cloth to clean and do
not press.
never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the display lens.

MULTIMEDIA DEVICES
IMPORTANT Some multimedia player
devices may not be compatible with the
Uconnect™system.
Only use devices (e.g. USB flash drives)
from safe sources on the car. Devices
from unknown sources could contain
software infected by viruses which, if
installed on the car, could increase the
vulnerability of the car's electric/
electronic systems to hacking.
ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The system is equipped with an
anti-theft protection system based on the
exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle.
This guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being
entered after the power supply has been
disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the same
or if the electronic control unit (Body
Computer) is replaced, the system willask the user to enter the secret code
according to the procedure described in
the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
(excluding the versions with a Uconnect
7” HD Nav LIVE system)
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will show
“Please enter Anti-Theft Code” followed
by the screen showing a keypad to enter
the secret code.
The secret code has four numbers from
0 to 9: to insert the code numbers, rotate
the BROWSE/ENTER dial and press to
confirm.
After entering the fourth digit, the system
begins operating.
If an incorrect code is entered, the
system displays “Incorrect Code” to
notify the user of the need to enter the
correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays “Incorrect
Code. Radio locked. Wait for
30 minutes”. After the text has
disappeared it is possible to start the
code entering procedure again.

only be checked and repaired by a Jeep
Dealership.
If the temperature is particularly low, the
display may take a while to reach
optimum brightness.
If the vehicle is stopped for a while and
the external temperature is very high, the
system may go into “thermal protection”
mode, suspending operation until the
radio temperature returns to acceptable
levels.Look at the screen only when it is
necessary and safe. If you need to look at
the screen for a long time, pull over to a
safe place so as not to be distracted
while driving.
Immediately stop using the system in the
event of a fault. Otherwise the system
might be damaged. Contact a Jeep
Dealership as soon as possible to have
the system repaired.
