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:

60)When towing trailers, the utmost
caution at the wheel is recommended.
Never exceed the maximum permitted
loads (see the description in the "Weights"
paragraph in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter).
61)The TSC system cannot prevent
swerving for all trailers. If the system
activates during driving, reduce the speed,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and
arrange the load correctly to prevent the
trailer from swerving.
62)Prolonged use of the system may
overheat the braking system. If the brakes
overheat, the HDC system, when active,
will be gradually deactivated after suitably
informing the driver (LED on button off): it
can be reactivated only when the brakes
have cooled sufficiently. The distance that
can be covered depends on the
temperature of the brakes and therefore
on the gradient, load and speed of the
vehicle.
63)The performance of a vehicle with
HDC must never be tested in imprudent or
dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver or other
people at risk.64)When "Systems partially disabled"
mode is selected, the intervention of the
TC function is limited to braking action on
the individual drive wheels and the
warning light switches on in the
instrument panel. In "systems partially
disabled" mode, the engine torque value
that the ESC system may require will not
be guaranteed and the stability of the
vehicle will therefore be reduced.
65)With "Systems partially disabled"
mode selected, the TSC (Trailer Sway
Control) system is disabled.
66)Your driving style must always be
suited to the road conditions, visibility and
traffic. The driver is, in any case,
responsible for safe driving.
67)When "Systems disabled" mode is
selected, the ESC system will not be
available in the event of emergency
manoeuvres. "Systems disabled" mode is
only for off-road use.

CHILD PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
88) 89) 90) 91)
For optimal protection in the event of an
impact, all occupants must be seated
and wearing adequate restraint systems,
including newborn and other children!
This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of 1.50 metres
and up to 12 years must be protected
with suitable restraint systems and be
seated on the rear seats.
Statistics on accidents indicate that the
rear seats offer greater safety for
children.
Compared with an adult, a child's head is
larger and heavier in proportion to their
body and the child's muscular and bone
structures are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems other
than adult seat belts are necessary to
reduce as much as possible the risk of
injuries in the event of an accident,
braking or sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be seated safely and
comfortably. As far as the characteristics
of the child seats used allow, you areadvised to keep children in rear facing
child seats for as long as possible (at
least until 3–4 years old), since this is
the most protected position in the event
of an impact.
The choice of the most suitable child
restraint system depends on the weight
and size of the child. There are various
types of child restraint systems, which
can be secured to the car by means of
the seat belts or with the ISOFIX/i-Size
anchorages.
It is recommended to always choose the
restraint system most suitable for the
child; for this reason always refer to the
Owner Handbook provided with the child
restraint system, to be sure that it is of
the right type for the children it is
intended for.
In Europe the characteristics of child
restraint systems are ruled by the
regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:
Group Weight range
Group 0 up to 10 kg
Group 0+up to 13 kg in
weight
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group Weight range
Group 2 15 - 25 kg
Group 3 22 - 36 kg
The ECE-R44 standard was recently
paired with the ECE R-129 regulation,
which defines the characteristics of the
new i-Size child restraint systems (see
the "Suitability of passenger seats for
i-Size child restraint system use"
paragraph).
All restraint devices must bear the
type-approval data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori MOPAR
®includes child
restraint systems for each weight group.
These devices are recommended, having
been specifically designed for Jeep
vehicles.
IMPORTANT For correct installation on
the vehicle, some universal child
restraint systems require an accessory
(base) sold separately by the restraint
system's producer. Therefore, FCA
advises customers to check that their
chosen child restraint system can be
installed on their vehicle by performing

a trial installation, on the vendor's
premises, before purchase.
FITTING A CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM WITH SEAT BELTS
92) 93) 94) 99)
The Universal child restraint systems
installed with the seat belts only are
type-approved on the basis of the ECE
R44 standard and are divided into
various weight groups.
IMPORTANT The figures are indicative
and provided for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which
must be included.
Group 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried with
a rear facing child restraint system of a
type as shown in fig. 89 which,
supporting the head, does not induce
stress on the neck in the event of sudden
decelerations.
The child restraint system is secured by
the vehicle seat belts, as shown in
fig. 89 and it must restrain the child in
turn with its own belts.Group 1
Children weighing from 9 to 18 kg may
be transported in forward facing child
restraint systems fig. 90.

PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON UNIVERSAL CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM USE
According to the European Directive 2000/3/EC the suitability of each passenger seat position for the fixing of universal child
restraint systems is shown in the following table:
Positioning the “Universal” child restraint system
Group Weight range Front passenger Rear central passenger Rear side passengers
Group 0, 0+ up to 13 kg U X U
Group 1 9–18 kg U X U
Group 2 15–25 kg U X U
Group 3 22–36 kg U X U
X = Seat not suitable for children in this weight category
U = Suitable for child restraint systems in the “Universal” category, according to European Standard ECE-R44 for the specified
"Groups”.

INSTALLING AN ISOFIX CHILD
CARSEAT
95) 96) 97) 98) 100)
The rear side seats of the vehicle are
equipped with ISOFIX attachments, for
fitting child restraint systems quickly,
simply and safely.
The ISOFIX system lets you install the
ISOFIX child restraining system without
using the car seat belts but connecting
them directly to the carseat with three
anchors in the car. Traditional child
restraint systems can be fitted alongside
ISOFIX child restraint systems on
different seats in the same vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach it to the two metal
anchorages A fig. 93 located where the
rear seat cushion meets the backrest,
then fix the upper strap (available
together with the restraint system) to the
dedicated anchorage B located at the
bottom behind the backrest.
As an example, fig. 94 shows an example
of a Universal ISOFIX child restraint
system for weight group 1.
IMPORTANT The fig. 94 is indicative
and for assembly purposes only. Fit the
child restraint system according to theinstructions, which must be included.
