The Stop/Start function is developed to save
fuel and reduce emissions. The system will
stop the engine automatically during a
vehicle stop if the required conditions are
met. Releasing the brake pedal or pressing
the accelerator pedal on an automatic trans -
mission or pressing the clutch pedal on a
manual transmission will automatically
restart the engine.
Automatic Mode

The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every
normal customer engine start. It will remain in
STOP/START NOT READY until you drive
forward with a vehicle speed greater than 4 mph (7 km/h). At that time, the system will
go into STOP/START READY and if all other
conditions are met, can go into a STOP/START
AUTOSTOP ACTIVE “Autostop” mode.

To Activate The Autostop Mode, The Following
Must Occur:
The system must be in STOP/START
READY state. A STOP/START READY
message will be displayed in the instru
-
ment cluster display within the Stop/Start
section. Refer to “Instrument Cluster
Display” in “Getting To Know Your Instru -
ment Panel” in your Owner’s information
for further details.
The vehicle must be completely stopped.
The gear selector must be in DRIVE and
the brake pedal depressed (automatic
transmission) or the gear selector must be
in NEUTRAL and the clutch pedal must be
fully released (manual transmission).
The engine will shut down, the tachometer
will move to the zero position and the Stop/
Start telltale will illuminate indicating you
are in Autostop. While in Autostop, the
Climate Controls system may automatically
adjust airflow to maintain cabin comfort.
Customer settings will be maintained upon
return to an engine running condition.

Jack Usage Precautions
To complete the Use and Maintenance
Handbook to which this supplement is
attached, given below are some instructions
on the proper use of the jack.MaintenanceMake sure grime does not build up on the
“worm screw.”
Keep the “worm screw” lubricated.
Never modify the jack.
Conditions Of Non-Use:
Temperatures below −40°F (-40°C).
On sandy or muddy ground.
On uneven ground.
On steep roads.
In extreme weather conditions: thunder -
storms, typhoons, hurricanes, blizzards,
storms, etc.
NOTE:
The jack requires no adjustment.
The jack cannot be repaired, and in the
event of a fault, it must be replaced by
another genuine one.
No tool other than its cranking device may
be fitted on the jack.
WARNING!
When using the crank, make sure it turns
freely without the risk of scraping hands
against the ground.
Even the moving parts of the jack, the
“worm screw” and joints can cause
injuries: avoid contact with them. Clean it
thoroughly if dirtied with grease.
CAUTION!
The jack is a tool designed exclusively for
changing a wheel, in case of a puncture or
damage to a tire of the vehicle on which it
is fitted or on vehicles of the same model.
Any other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle
models or different things, is strictly
prohibited. Never use it to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the vehicle
or to change summer/winter wheels and
vice versa. Never go under the raised
vehicle. If any work under the vehicle is
necessary, contact an authorized dealer.
Incorrect placing of the jack can cause the
vehicle to drop: use it only in the positions
indicated. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than that specified on the label.
Never start the engine with vehicle raised.
If the vehicle is raised more than
necessary, everything can become more
unstable, with the risk of the vehicle
dropping violently. Therefore raise the
vehicle only as much as necessary for the
wheel/spare.

rafts, or similar inflatable items. However,
use only the Air Pump Hose and make sure
the Mode Select Knob is in the Air Mode
when inflating such items to avoid
injecting sealant into them. The Tire
Service Kit Sealant is only intended to seal
punctures less than 1/4 inch (6 mm)
diameter in the tread of your tire.
Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by
the hoses.
Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use Tire Service
Kit:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flashers.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position that
is near to the ground. This will allow the
Tire Service Kit Hoses and to reach the
valve stem and keep the Tire Service Kit
flat on the ground. This will provide the
best positioning of the kit when injecting
the sealant into the deflated tire and
running the air pump. Move the vehicle
as necessary to place the valve stem in
this position before proceeding.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side
of the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far
enough off the road to avoid the danger
of being hit when using the Tire Service
Kit.
Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the
vehicle under the following circum -
stances:
If the puncture in the tire tread is
approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or
larger.
If the tire has any sidewall damage.
If the tire has any damage from driving with extremely low tire pres-
sure.
If the tire has any damage fromdriving on a flat tire.
If the wheel has any damage.
If you are unsure of the condition ofthe tire or the wheel.
Keep Tire Service Kit away from open
flames or heat source.
A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward in
a collision or hard stop could endanger
the occupants of the vehicle. Always
stow the Tire Service Kit in the place
provided. Failure to follow these warn -
ings can result in injuries that are serious
or fatal to you, your passengers, and
others around you.
Take care not to allow the contents of
Tire Service Kit to come in contact with
hair, eyes, or clothing. Tire Service Kit
sealant is harmful if inhaled, swallowed,
or absorbed through the skin. It causes
skin, eye, and respiratory irritation.
Flush immediately with plenty of water if
there is any contact with eyes or skin.
Change clothing as soon as possible, if
there is any contact with clothing.
WARNING! (Continued)
Tire Service Kit Sealant solution
contains latex. In case of an allergic
reaction or rash, consult a physician
immediately. Keep Tire Service Kit out
of reach of children. If swallowed, rinse
mouth immediately with plenty of water
and drink plenty of water. Do not induce
vomiting! Consult a physician immedi -
ately.

REFUELING IN EMERGENCY —
IF EQUIPPED

The fuel filling procedure in case of emer-
gency is described in the “Emergency Gas
Can Refueling”. Refer to “Refueling The
Vehicle” in “Starting And Operating” for
further information.
The vehicle is equipped with a refueling
funnel. If refueling is necessary, while using
an approved gas can, please insert the refu -
eling funnel into the filler neck opening.

IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can
reduce the potential for overheating your
engine by taking the appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place the
transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not
increase engine idle speed.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow
down an impending overheat condition:
If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it
off. The A/C system adds heat to the
engine cooling system and turning the A/C
off can help remove this heat.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads “H,” pull over and stop the
vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer
drops back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on the “H” and you hear
continuous chimes, turn the engine off
immediately and call for service.

SERVICING AND MAINTENAN
CESCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for guaranteeing a
long life for the car under the best condi-
tions. For this reason, Jeep has planned a
series of checks and services at fixed
distance intervals and, where provided, at
fixed time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing plan. To keep the car’s
efficiency in tip-top condition, in the
following Scheduled Service plan pages a
few additional checks are listed that should
be carried out more frequently with respect
to the normal coupon redemption schedule.
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all autho -
rized dealerships according to fixed time or
mileage intervals. If, during each operation,
in addition to the ones scheduled, the need
arises for further replacements or repairs,
these may be carried out with the owner's
explicit agreement only.
The technicians at your dealership know your
vehicle best, and have access to factory
trained information, genuine Mopar parts,
and specially designed electronic and
mechanical tools that can help prevent
future costly repairs. If your car is used
frequently for towing, the interval between
one scheduled servicing operation and the next should be reduced. More frequent main
-
tenance may be needed for vehicles in severe
operating conditions, such as dusty areas
and very short trip driving.
NOTE:
Scheduled Servicing interventions are set
out by the Manufacturer. Failure to have
them carried out may invalidate the
warranty. It is advised to inform an autho -
rized dealership of any small operating irreg -
ularities without waiting for the next service.
Scheduled Servicing — Gasoline Engine
The oil change indicator system will remind
you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
engine oil replacement.
An “Oil Change Required” message will be
displayed in the instrument cluster and a
single chime will sound, indicating that an
oil change is necessary.
The oil change indicator message will illumi -
nate approximately 7,000 miles
(11,200 km) after the most recent oil
change was performed. Have your vehicle
serviced as soon as possible, within
500 miles (800 km). NOTE:
The oil change indicator message will not
monitor the time since the last oil change.
Change your vehicle’s oil if it has been
12 months since your last oil change even
if the oil change indicator message is NOT
illuminated.
Change your engine oil more often if you
drive your vehicle off-road for an extended
period of time (refer to the “Heavy Duty
Use of Vehicle” section).
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 7,500 miles
(12,000 km) or 12 months, whichever
comes first.
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil
change indicator message after completing
the scheduled oil change.

Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip
Check engine oil level.
Check windshield washer fluid level.
Check tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first
sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs
before the oil indicator system turns on.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reser-
voir and brake master cylinder, fill as
needed.
Check function of all interior and exterior
lights. At Each Oil Change
Change oil and filter.
Rotate the tires.
Rotate at the first sign of
irregular wear, even if it occurs before the
oil indicator system turns on.
Inspect battery and clean and tighten
terminals as required.
Inspect the CV/Universal joints.
Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums,
hoses and park brake.
Inspect engine cooling system protection
and hoses.
Inspect exhaust system.
Inspect engine air cleaner if using in dusty
or off-road conditions. Maintenance Plan — Gasoline Engine
NOTE:
Once you have carried out the last interven
-
tion in the table, continue with the sched -
uled servicing, maintaining the frequency
indicated in the plan by marking each oper -
ation with a dot or dedicated note. Simply
restarting the maintenance from the start of
the plan may cause the allowed interval to be
exceeded for some operations.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required
maintenance items may result in damage
to the vehicle.
