Move the seat belts to the side, checking
that they are correctly extended and not
twisted or pinched behind the backrests.
Make sure that the seat belts are
positioned on trims A fig. 21 (where
provided), then lift up the backrests and
push them back until a click is heard for
both locking mechanisms, at the side.
Make sure that the "red marks" on levers
A fig. 21 are not visible any more (the
"red mark" means that the backrest is not
locked properly).
WARNING
11)All adjustments must be made with
the car stationary.
12)Once you have released the
adjustment lever, always check that the
seat is locked on the guides by trying to
move it back and forth. If the seat is not
locked into place, it may unexpectedly
slide and cause the driver to lose control
of the car.
13)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches) to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking,
with possible impact with of the
passengers.
14)If a passenger is present, it won't be
possible to use the armrest, but the
central backrest needs to be properly
attached.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

IMPORTANT
2)The system uses R134a coolant, which
does not pollute the environment in the
event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances use R1234yf and
R12 fluids, which are incompatible with
the components of the system.

72)If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if
it is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part
(e.g. another car, a wall or another
obstacle), the system may detect its
presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
settings of theUconnect™system.
73)The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular checks
of the tyre pressure, including for the
spare wheel, and correct maintenance: the
system is not used to signal a possible
fault to a tyre.
74)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres rested and cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason to check
pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than the
prescribed value. Repeat the check when
the tyres are cold.
75)Should one or more wheels be fitted
without sensors (e.g. if the spare wheel is
fitted), the system will no longer be
available for the replaced wheel and a
warning message will be shown on the
display, until the wheels with sensors are
fitted again.76)The TPMS cannot indicate sudden
tyre pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts).
In this case, stop the vehicle, braking with
caution and avoiding abrupt steering.
77)Replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa requires TPMS system
adjustment that must only be performed
by Jeep Dealerships.
78)Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The system
may temporarily indicate insufficient
pressure. In this case, check the tyre
pressure when cold and, if necessary,
restore the inflation values.
79)When a tyre is removed, it is advisable
to replace the rubber valve seal as well:
contact a Jeep Dealership. The
fitting/removal of the tyres and/or rims
require special care. To avoid damaging or
fitting the sensors incorrectly, tyre and/or
rim fitting/removal operations should only
be carried out by specialised staff.
Contact a Jeep Dealership.
IMPORTANT
33)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.34)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
35)System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.
36)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
37)Incorrect repairs made on the front
part of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis)
may alter the position of the radar sensor,
and adversely affect its operation. Go to a
Jeep Dealership for any operation of this
type.
38)Do not tamper with nor carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of
a sensor failure, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
39)When towing a trailer (with modules
installed after purchasing the vehicle), a
vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on a
vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for
transport), the system must be deactivated
via theUconnect™system.

SAFETY

SIDE AIRBAGS
To help increase occupants protection in
the event of side impact collisions, the
vehicle is equipped with front side bags
and window bags.
Side bag
These consist of two bags located in the
front seat backrests fig. 102 that protect
the occupants’ pelvis, chest and shoulder
area in the event of a side impact of
medium/high severity. They are marked
by the "AIRBAG" label sewn on the outer
side of the front seats.
Window bag
This consists of a "curtain" bag housed
behind the roof side trim and covered by
special trims fig. 103. They are designed
to protect the head of front and rear
occupants in the event of a side
collision, thanks to the wide cushion
inflation surface.The deployment of side bags in the event
of side impacts of low severity is not
required.
In the event of a side impact, the system
provides best protection if the passenger
sits on the seat in a correct position, thus
allowing correct window bag deployment.

the underbody of the vehicle (e.g. impact
with steps, pavements, potholes or road
bumps etc.).

No one should remain inside the car;if the car has alloy rims, whose
hubcaps cover the bolt, use the spanner
very carefully to remove the hubcap
before lifting the car up;
before lifting up the car, loosen the
bolts on the wheel with the flat tire
without removing them, using spanner A
fig. 173. While the tire is still resting on
the ground, you just need to turn the
bolts one turn counter-clockwise;
position the jack under the car, near
the tire to be changed;
insert the spanner D fig. 174 on the
hexagon A of the jack B and turn it
clockwise until the jack bracket is firmly
under the area to be lifted, at the spar
under the door, being careful to keep itin line with the bracket itself at the mark
indicated by the symbol
on the under
door coating;
lift up the car until the tire is off the
ground by a few centimetres;
remove the bolt and the tire (for
versions equipped with a tire cover, take
it off after having loosened the 4 bolts
that attach it and then unscrew the last
bolt and remove the tire);
remove the jack spanner and insert
the pin to centre the wheel (in case of
alloy rims) to facilitate mounting the
spare tire;
make sure the spare tire, where it
comes into contact with the centre, is
clean and has no debris that could later
cause the attachment bolts to loosen;
mount the spare tire;replace and screw the bolts, without
tightening them;
if you used it, remove the aligning
pin;
lower the car completely using the
jack.
take the spare wheel, jack and wheel
bolt removal key (see fig. 171 );
if the vehicle has aluminium rims,
where the hub cap covers the bolts, use
the key with great care to remove the hub
cap before raising the vehicle;
tighten the bolts, alternating from one
bolt to the one opposite, according to the
numerical sequence illustrated in
fig. 175. In the case of any doubts
regarding the bolt tightening torque,
contact a Jeep Dealership;
reposition the jack, the tools, the
chock and the flat tyre inside the luggage

IN AN EMERGENCY

WHEELS AND TYRES
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE
ROTATION OF THE TYRES
192) 193)97) 98) 99) 100)
The front and rear tyres are subject to
different loads and stress due to steering,
manoeuvres and braking. For this reason
they are subject to uneven wear.
To resolve this problem, tyres should be
rotated at the appropriate time. This
operation is recommended for tyres with
a deep tread pattern, suitable both for
on-road and off-road driving.
Tyre rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction
performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the vehicle.
In the case of irregular wear of the tyres,
the reason must be identified and
corrected before rotating them.
WARNING
192)Do not cross switch the tyres if they
are "unidirectional" type. In this case,
always take care not to fit the tyres with a
direction of rotation that is opposite to
that indicated: you would risk losing grip
and control of the vehicle.
193)Travelling with partially or completely
deflated tyres can cause safety problems
and damage the concerned tyre beyond
repair.
IMPORTANT
97)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
98)If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
99)Do not switch tyres from the
right-hand side of the vehicle to the
left-hand side, and vice versa.100)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
SNOW CHAINS
101)
Front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive
versions: 7-mm snow chains can be used
on 215/65 R16 and 215/60 R17 tyres.
Chains cannot be fitted on
225/55 R18 tyres. e di incidenti.
IMPORTANTUse snow chains in
accordance with local regulations of each
country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and Snow)
are considered as winter equipment;
therefore their use is equivalent to that of
the snow chains.
The snow chains may be applied only to
the front wheel tyres.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
Using snow chains with tyres with
non-original dimensions may damage the
vehicle.
Using different size or type (M+S, snow,
etc.) tyres between front and rear axle
may adversely affect vehicle driveability,
