GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The booklet that you are reading simply
and directly explains how it is made and
how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that you
can see immediately what is described
here for yourself.THE KEYS.................16

IMPORTANT If this function is
activated with engine off the battery
may run down.
Auto On Comfort (where provided)
The electric heated steering wheel is
switched on automatically whenever the
engine is started and the outside
temperature is lower than 4.4°C. This
functionality can be enabled or disabled
from theUconnect™system Menu.
WARNING
16)All adjustments must be carried out
only with the car stationary and engine
off.
17)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of
anti-theft device) that could adversely
affect performance and safety, invalidate
the warranty and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
REAR VIEW MIRRORS
INTERIOR MIRROR
The mirror is fitted with a safety device
that causes its release in the event of a
violent impact with the passenger.
Operate lever A fig. 27 to adjust the
mirror into two different positions:
normal or anti-glare.

Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST
function: operation is limited to the
time for which the stalk is held in this
position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the
windscreen wiper will be automatically
stopped.
IMPORTANT This function does not
activate the windscreen washer;
windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen washer
fluid onto the windscreen, the washing
function must be used. With the ring A in
position
, the windscreen wiper is not
activated. In position, the pause time
between the strokes of the windscreenwiper is 10 seconds, independently of
the vehicle speed. In position
, the
pause time between two strokes is set
according to the vehicle speed: when the
speed increases, the time between two
strokes decreases. In positionLOorHI,
the windscreen wiper moves
continuously, i.e. without a pause
between two strokes.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
When the stalk is held pulled for longer
than half a second, the windscreen wiper
moves with active control. Releasing the
stalk will activate three strokes.
With the ring A in theLOorHIposition,
the smart washing function is not
performed.
The windscreen wiper stops working
three strokes after the stalk is released.
IMPORTANT If the stalk is activated for
less than half a second, only the
windscreen washer jet is activated. Do
not prolong the activation of the "Smart
Washing" function for more than
30 seconds. Do not activate the
windscreen washer control when the
reservoir is empty.RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
9) 10)
It is located behind the interior rear view
mirror, in contact with the windscreen,
and can detect the presence of rain and,
consequently, manage the automatic
windscreen wiping mode depending on
the amount of water on the screen (see
the “Automatic Wiping” paragraph).
The sensor will be activated when the
ignition device is turned to MAR, and will
be disabled with the ignition device in
the STOP position.
Automatic Wiping
Activation
You can choose automatic wiping by
selecting the rain sensor from the display
Menu or on theUconnect™system and
turning ring A to the
orposition.
Activation of the automatic wiping
function is signalled by a flick. The same
stroke will be visible every time the
sensor sensitivity is increased, by rotating
the ring nut from position
to position.

the door mirror and extends for about
6 metres towards the rear part of the
vehicle.
With the sensors active, the system
monitors the detection areas on both
sides of the vehicle and warns the driver
about the possible presence of vehicles
in these areas.
While driving the system monitors the
detection area from three different input
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether a warning needs to be sent to
the driver. The system can detect the
presence of a vehicle in one of these
three areas.
Important notes
68)
The system does not signal the presence
of fixed object (e.g. safety barriers, poles,
walls, etc.). However, in some
circumstances, the system may activate
in the presence of these objects. This is
normal and does not indicate a system
malfunction.
The system does not warn the driver
about the presence of cars coming from
the opposite direction, in the adjacent
lanes.
If a trailer is hitched to the car, the
system automatically deactivates.
For correct system operations, the rearbumper area where the radar sensors are
located must stay free from snow, ice and
dirt gathered from the road surface.
Do not cover the rear bumper area where
the radar sensors are located with any
object (e.g. adhesives, bike rack, etc.).
If a tow hook has to be installed after
purchasing the vehicle, the system must
be deactivated from the display Menu or
through theUconnect™system.
Rear view: the system detects vehicles
approaching to the rear part of your
vehicle on both sides and entering the
rear detection area with a speed delta
lower than 50 km/h with respect to your
vehicle.
Overtaking vehicles: if another vehicle is
overtaken slowly (with a speed delta
lower than about 25 km/h) and this stays
in the blind spot for about 1.5 seconds,
the warning light on the door mirror of
the corresponding side lights up. If the
speed delta between the two vehicles is
higher than about 25 km/h, the warning
light does not light up.
RCP (Rear Cross Path detection) system
This system helps during reverse
manoeuvres in the case of reduced
visibility. During "RCP" operating mode,
the system produces acoustic and visual
indications when if the presence of an
object is detected. When an acousticwarning is sent, theUconnect™volume is
lowered.
The system can be activated/deactivated
through the display Menu or the
Uconnect™system.
The system monitors the rear detection
areas on both sides of the vehicle, to
detect objects moving towards the sides
of the vehicle at a minimum speed
comprised between about 1 km/h and
3 km/h and objects moving at a
maximum speed of 35 km/h, as generally
happens in the parking areas. The system
activation is signalled to the driver by
means of a visual and acoustic warning.
IMPORTANT If the sensors are covered
by objects or vehicles, the system will
not warn the driver.
"Blind spot alert", "Visual" mode: when this
mode is active, the BSM system sends a
visual warning to the door mirror relating
to the object detected. When operating in
RCP mode, the system sends visual and
acoustic warnings when the presence of
an approaching object is detected. When
an acoustic warning is sent,
theUconnect™volume is lowered.
"Blind spot alert", "Sound & Display" mode:
when this mode is active, the BSM
system sends a visual warning to the door
mirror relating to the object detected. If
the direction indicator on the side where

Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown on the
display.
LPG versions
The engine always starts up on petrol
independently of the previously selected
mode.
There must therefore always be some
petrol in the tank to protect the petrol
pump and to guarantee temporary
switching from Methane or LPG to petrol
operation, if high performance is
required.
PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Proceed as follows:engage the electric parking brake and
place the gear lever in neutral;
bring the ignition device to MAR. On
Diesel versions, waning lightlights upin the instrument panel: wait for the
warning light to switch off;
fully depress the clutch pedal without
touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;
if the engine does not start within
10 seconds, bring the ignition device
back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure.
PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
WITH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
Proceed as follows:engage the electric parking brake and
place the gear lever to P (Park) or N
(Neutral);
fully depress the brake pedal without
touching the accelerator;
place the ignition device to AVV;if the engine does not start, bring the
ignition device back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure.
IMPORTANT If, with the ignition
device at MAR, thesymbol on the
instrument panel stays on together
with warning light
, turn the
ignition device to STOP and then back
to MAR. If the warning light (or thesymbol on the display) remains on, try
with the other keys provided with the
vehicle. Contact a Jeep Dealership if
the engine still does not start.
ENGINE STARTING FAILURE
Starting the engine with electronic key
battery (Keyless Enter-N-Go) run down or
flat
If the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run down
or flat. Therefore, the system does not
detect the presence of the electronic key
on board the vehicle and displays a
dedicated message.
In this case, rest the rounded edge of the
electronic key (the side opposite the
metal insert) on the ignition device and
press the button by the electronic key.
The ignition device is thus activated and
the engine can be started.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Proceed as follows:park the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic; engage a
gear (versions with manual gearbox) or
position the gear lever to P (Parking)
(versions with automatic transmission);
turn the ignition device to STOP with
the engine idling.

STARTING AND DRIVING
IMPORTANT
68)The camera may have limited or
absent operation due to weather
conditions such as: heavy rain, hail, thick
fog, heavy snow, formation of ice layers on
the windscreen.
69)Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g.
vehicles that are driving not aligned with
yours, vehicle driving in a transverse or
opposite way on the same lane, bend with
a small radius of curvature), by road
surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make
sure the windscreen is always clean. Use
specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windscreen. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
70)Projecting loads on the roof of the
vehicle may interfere with the correct
operation of the camera. Before starting
make sure the load is correctly positioned,
in order not to cover the camera operating
range.71)If the windscreen must be replaced
due to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively a Jeep Dealership. Do
not replace the windscreen on your own,
risk of malfunction! It is advisable to
replace the windscreen if it is damaged in
the area of the camera.
72)Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact a Jeep Dealership.
