42)For the correct operation of the ABS,
the tyres must of necessity be the same
make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the prescribed
type and dimensions.
43)The ESC system cannot alter the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase grip, which depends on the
condition of the road.
44)The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners, driving on
low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.
45)The capability of the ESC system must
never be tested irresponsibly and
dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise personal safety and the safety
of others.
46)For the correct operation of the ESC
system, the tyres must necessarily be of
the same make and type on all wheels, in
perfect condition and, above all, of the
prescribed type and size.
47)ESC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unwarranted risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.48)For the correct operation of the TC
system, the tyres must of necessity be the
same make and type on all wheels, in
perfect condition and, above all, of the
prescribed type and dimensions.
49)TC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unwarranted risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,

56)The Hill Start Assist system is not a
parking brake; therefore, never leave the
vehicle without having engaged the
electric parking brake, turned the engine
off and engaged first gear, so that it is
parked in safe conditions (for further
information read the "Parking" paragraph
in the "Starting and driving" chapter).
57)There may be situations on small
gradients (less than 8%), with vehicle
laden, in which the Hill Start Assist
system may not activate, causing a slight
reversing motion and increasing the risk of
collision with another vehicle or object.
The driver is, in any case, responsible for
safe driving.
58)DST is an aid for driving and does not
relieve the driver of responsibility for
driving the vehicle.
59)The performance of a vehicle with
ERM must never be tested in imprudent or
dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver or other
people at risk.

SAFETY

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

SAFETY

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.

VERSIONS WITH 4 SENSORS
140)61) 62)
The parking sensors, located in the rear
bumper fig. 119, are used to detect the
presence of any obstacles near the rear
part of the car.
The sensors warn the driver with acoustic
signals and, where provided, with visual
signals on the instrument panel screen.On/off
To disengage the system press button
fig. 120.
Changing the system's status, from
engagement to disengagement and vice
versa, is always accompanied by a visual
message on the instrument panel screen.
System on: LED off.
System off: LED lighted continuously.
The LED lights up even if the
ParkSense®system does not. If the
button is pressed with a system failure,
the LED flashes for about 5 seconds,
then it stays on constantly.
IMPORTANT After theParkSense®hasbeen disengaged, it will stay in this
condition until the following
engagement, even if the ignition
device passes from MAR to STOP and
then again to MAR.
IMPORTANT Using wheels with
different sizes from those mounted at
the time the car was purchased could
affect the system, not allowing it to
function properly.
System activation/deactivation
If it was engaged correctly, the system is
enabled by putting the gear into reverse
while it deactivates by moving the gear to
a different position to reverse.
Operation with a trailer
The operation of the sensors is
automatically deactivated when the
trailer electric cable plug is inserted in
the tow hook socket of the car. The
sensors are automatically reactivated
when the trailer's cable plug is removed.

ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
To insert the system, press the button
fig. 125: the instructions needed to carry
out the manoeuvre are shown on the
instrument panel screen.
System on: LED light on steady/System
off: LED off.
The LED lights up also in the case of a
failure to theActive ParkSense®system.
If the button is pressed with the system
faulty, the LED flashes for about
5 seconds, then it stays off.
IMPORTANT The use of wheels of a
different size to those at the time of
vehicle purchase could affect the
system and prevent correct operation.
OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM
When searching for a parking place, the
system uses the side sensors (fig. 126),
which are automatically activated with
engine on and speed below 30 km/h.During the manoeuvre the driver is also
assisted by information from the parking
sensors (4 front and 4 rear) which
provide further distance information
when approaching obstacles in front of
and behind the vehicle.
If theActive ParkSense®function is
activated after having previously
deactivated theParkSense®function, the
sensors are activated once more and stay
in this condition only during the parking
movement.

STARTING AND DRIVING

uneven road surface or obstacles
before the wheels, affect vehicle's
movements, thus preventing it from
following the correct path.
IMPORTANT Manoeuvring is
deactivated if, after about 3 minutes,
parking has not been completed.
End of manoeuvre
The semi-automatic manoeuvre ends
when the display shows the message of
completed manoeuvre.
At the end of the manoeuvre, the driver
resumes control of the car and, if
necessary, has to complete parking
manually.
IMPORTANT INFORMATIONIf the sensors undergo impact which
alters their position, the system operation
could deteriorate considerably.
The system reaches top performance
after the vehicle has covered about
50 km (system "self-calibration").
If the sensors are dirty, covered by
snow, ice or mud or are repainted vs. the
original conditions, the system operation
could result strongly degraded. It is
extremely important that the sensors are
always clean in order for the system to
operate correctly. During cleaning make
sure not to scratch or damage them;
avoid using dry or rough cloths. Thesensors should be washed using clean
water with the addition of car shampoo if
necessary. In washing stations, clean the
sensors quickly, keeping the steam
jet/high pressure washing nozzles at least
10 cm away from the sensors.
Ultrasonic sound sources (e.g.
pneumatic brakes of trucks or air drills)
nearby could negatively influence the
sensor performance.
Sensors may detect a non-existent
obstacle (echo noise) due to mechanical
noises, for example while washing the
vehicle, in the case of rain, strong wind,
hail.
The sensors may not detect objects of
a particular shape or made from
particular materials (very thin poles,
trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes,
anti-parking posts, pavements, rubbish
bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take
great care to check that the vehicle and
its path are actually compatible with the
parking place identified by the system.
The use of (one or more) tyres or
wheels of a different size to those at the
time of vehicle purchase could affect the
operation of the system.
If a trailer (with correctly engaged
socket) is present, the system will be
automatically disabled.
In "Search in progress" mode, the
system could incorrectly identify a
parking place to carry out the manoeuvre(e.g. by a junction, driveways, roads
crossing the direction of travel, etc.).
In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the performance of
the system could be inferior and it may
deactivate.
If a parking manoeuvre is being
carried out between two parked vehicles
alongside the pavement, the system may
cause the vehicle to mount the
pavement.
Some manoeuvres at very tight bends
might be impossible to be carried out.
Take great care to ensure that
conditions do not change during the
parking manoeuvre (e.g. if there are
persons and/or animals in the parking
place, moving vehicles, etc.) and
intervene immediately if necessary.
During parking manoeuvres, pay
attention to cars approaching from the
opposite direction. Always comply with
the prescriptions of the Highway Code.
IMPORTANT Correct system operation
is not guaranteed if snow chains or the
space-saver wheel are fitted.
IMPORTANT The function only informs
the driver about the last appropriate
parking place (parallel or
perpendicular) detected by the parking
sensors.

STARTING AND DRIVING

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,
255

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure. However, recheck that
the value is correct with the tyre cold. With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.
