CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more
flat tires as handling may be compro-
mised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp
braking and steering. If a tire puncture
occurs, repair immediately using the dedi-
cated tire repair kit and contact an autho-
rized dealer as soon as possible.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la-
bel. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illu-
minates, you should stop and check your tiresas soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute
for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined
with the low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This se-
quence will continue upon subsequent ve-
hicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists. When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction tell-
tale after replacing one or more tires or wheels
on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the origi-
nal equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pres-
sures and warning have been established for
the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Un-
desirable system operation or sensor damage
may result when using replacement equip-
ment that is not of the same size, type,
and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Using aftermarket tire seal-
ants may cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) sensor to become inoper-
able. After using an aftermarket tire sealant
it is recommended that you take your vehicle
to your authorized dealer to have your sensor
function checked.
71
CAUTION!
your vehicle. Undesirable system opera-
tion or sensor damage may result when
using replacement equipment that is not
of the same size, type, and/or style. The
TPM sensor is not designed for use on
aftermarket wheels and may contribute
to a poor overall system performance or
sensor damage. Customers are encour-
aged to use OEM wheels to assure
proper TPM feature operation.
• Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS) sensor to become inoper-
able. After using an aftermarket tire
sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to your authorized dealer to
have your sensor function checked.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which
could damage the TPMS sensor.NOTE:
• The TPMS is not intended to replace nor-
mal tire care and maintenance, or to pro-
vide warning of a tire failure or condition.
• The TPMS should not be used as a tire
pressure gauge while adjusting your tire
pressure.
• Driving on a significantly underinflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Underinflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s respon-
sibility to maintain correct tire pressure
using an accurate tire pressure gauge, even
if underinflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS Warning
Light.
• Seasonal temperature changes will affect
tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor
the actual tire pressure in the tire.
• The system only warns the tire pressure is
low: it is not able to inflate them.
Premium System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your
vehicle monthly and to maintain the proper
pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following compo-
nents:
• Receiver Module
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
• Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System
messages, which will display in the instru-
ment cluster display.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light

6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the
problem is no longer detected, the trans-
mission will return to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we
recommend that you visit an authorized
dealer at your earliest possible convenience.
An authorized dealer has diagnostic equip-
ment to assess the condition of your trans-
mission. If the transmission cannot be reset,
authorized dealer service is required.
Torque Converter Clutch
A feature designed to improve fuel economy
has been included in the automatic transmis-
sion on your vehicle. A clutch within the
torque converter engages automatically at
calibrated speeds. This may result in a
slightly different feeling or response during
normal operation in the upper gears. When
the vehicle speed drops or during some ac-
celerations, the clutch automatically disen-
gages.NOTE:
The torque converter clutch will not engage
until the engine and/or transmission is warm
(usually after 1 to 3 miles [2 to 5 km] of
driving). Because the engine speed is higher
when the torque converter clutch is not en-
gaged, it may seem as if the transmission is
not shifting properly when the vehicle is cold.
This is normal. The torque converter clutch
will function normally once the powertrain is
sufficiently warm.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
OPERATION — IF EQUIPPED
Jeep Active Drive
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Power
Transfer Unit (PTU). This system is auto-
matic with no driver inputs or additional
driving skills required. Under normal driving
conditions, the front wheels provide most of
the traction. If the front wheels begin to lose
traction, power is shifted automatically to the
rear wheels. The greater the front wheel trac-
tion loss, the greater the power transfer to the
rear wheels.Additionally, on dry pavement under heavy
throttle input (where one may have no wheel
spin), torque will be sent to the rear in a
preemptive effort to improve vehicle launch
and performance characteristics.
CAUTION!
All wheels must have the same size and
type tires. Unequal tire sizes must not be
used. Unequal tire size may cause failure
of the power transfer unit.
Four Wheel Drive (4x4)
The four wheel drive (4WD) is fully automatic
in normal driving mode.
NOTE:
It is not possible to carry out the change of
mode when the vehicle exceeds the speed of
75 mph (120 km/h).
Enabling Four Wheel Drive (4x4)
The buttons for the activation of four wheel
drive are located on the device Selec-Terrain
and allow you to select the following:
•4WD LOCK
•4WD LOW — (Trailhawk models only)STARTING AND OPERATING
158
NOTE:
• Rock mode is only available on the vehicles
equipped with the Off-Road package.
• Activate the Hill Descent Control for steep
downhill control. See “Electronic Brake
Control System” in “Safety” for further
information.
STOP/START SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Stop/Start function is developed to re-
duce fuel consumption. The system will stop
the engine automatically during a vehicle
stop if the required conditions are met. Re-
leasing the brake pedal, clutch pedal or
pressing the accelerator pedal will automati-
cally re-start the engine.
WARNING!
Before opening the hood, make sure that
the engine is off and that the ignition is in
the OFF mode. Follow the indications on
the plate underneath the hood. We recom-
mend that you remove the key fob if other
people remain in the vehicle. The vehicle
should only be exited after the key fob has
been removed and the ignition is on the
OFF mode. During refueling, make sure
that the engine is off (ignition device in the
OFF mode).
CAUTION!
When replacing the battery, always contact
your authorized dealer. Replace the bat-
tery with the same type (HEAVY DUTY) and
with the same specifications.
Operating Modes
Engine Stopping Mode
Models equipped with a manual transmission:
With the vehicle stopped, the engine stops
with transmission in neutral and clutch pedal
released.
Models equipped with an automatic transmission:

REFUELING THE VEHICLE
The Capless Fuel System uses a flapper
placed at the filler pipe of the fuel tank; it
opens and closes automatically upon
insertion/extraction of the fuel nozzle. In cer-
tain countries, the Capless Fuel System is
designed so that it prevents the filling of an
incorrect type of fuel.
1. Unlock the Fuel Filler Door by pushing the
unlock button on the key fob or the unlock
button on the driver-side door trim panel.2. Open the fuel filler door by pushing on the
outer edge of the Fuel Door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door
inside the pipe seals the system.
4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler
pipe; the nozzle opens and holds the flap-
per door while refueling.
5. Fill the vehicle with fuel, and when the
fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel
tank is full.
6. Wait ten seconds before removing the fuel
nozzle to allow fuel to drain from nozzle.

Emergency Gas Can Refueling
Most gas cans will not open the flapper door.
A funnel is provided to open the flapper door
to allow emergency refueling with a gas can.
1. Retrieve funnel from the rear cargo area.
2. Insert funnel into same filler pipe opening
as the fuel nozzle.
3. Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold
flapper door open.
4. Pour fuel into funnel opening.
5. Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off
prior to putting back in the spare tire
storage area.
NOTE:
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit in
or near the vehicle when the fuel door is
open or the tank is being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is run-
ning. This is in violation of most coun-
tries regulations and may cause the
“Malfunction Indicator Light” to turn
on.
• Do not apply any object/cap to the end of
the filler which is not provided for the
car. The use of non-compliant objects/
plugs could cause a pressure increase
inside the tank, resulting in dangerous
situations.
• A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a
vehicle. You could be burned. Always
place fuel containers on the ground
while filling.
Adblue (UREA) — If Equipped
The vehicle is equipped with an UREA injec-
tion system and Selective Catalytic Reduc-
tion to meet emission standards. These two
systems ensure compliance with the diesel
emissions requirements; at the same, they
ensure fuel-efficiency, handling, torque and
power. For messages and system warnings,
refer to the "Warning Lights And Messages" in
the "Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel"
section. AdBlue (UREA) is a very stable prod-
uct with a long shelf life. Stored at tempera-
tures LOWER than 90 °F (32 °C), it has a
shelf life of at least one year. For more infor-
mation on the AdBlue liquid type, see the
“Fluids and lubricants” in the “Technical
specifications” section. The vehicle is
equipped with an automatic AdBlue heating
system when the engine starts allowing the
system to work correctly at temperatures
lower than 12 °F (-11 °C).
NOTE:
AdBlue freezes at temperatures lower than
12 °F (-11 °C).
