2020 JEEP PATRIOT TPMS

NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure
may need to be increased up to an additional
4 psi (30 kPa) above the recommended cold
placard pressure in order to turn the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10
minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this
information.
Service TPMS Message
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds, and remain on
solid when a system fault is detected. The
system fault will also sound a chime. The EVIC
will display a “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” mes-
sage for a minimum of five seconds. This text
message is then followed by a graphic display,
with “- -“ in place of the pressure value(s)
indicating which Tire Pressure Monitoring Sen-
sor(s) is not being received.If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will
repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If
the system fault no longer exists, the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light will no longer
flash, the"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"text mes-
sage will not be present, and a pressure value
will be displayed instead of dashes. A system
fault can occur with any of the following sce-
narios:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio
frequencies as the TPM sensors.2. Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.
3. Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM
sensors.
The EVIC will also display a"SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM"message for a minimum of five sec-
onds when a system fault related to an incorrect
sensor location fault is detected. In this case,
the"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"message is then
followed with a graphic display with pressure
values still shown. This indicates that the pres-
sure values are still being received from the
TPM sensors but they may not be located in the
correct vehicle position. The system still needs
to be serviced as long as the"SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM"message is displayed.
NOTE:
Your vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare wheel and tire assembly.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Display
208

1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire
pressure monitoring sensor. Therefore, the
TPMS will not monitor the tire pressure in the
compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare tire in place
of a road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, upon the next
ignition key cycle, a chime will sound and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
still turn ON due to the low tire. The “LOW
TIRE” text message and the graphic with the
low tire pressure flashing will be displayed.
3. However, after driving the vehicle for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash
on and off for 75 seconds and then remain
on solid. In addition, the EVIC will display a
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message for a
minimum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure values.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a
chime will sound and the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and offfor 75 seconds and then remain on solid,
and the EVIC will display a “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message for a minimum of five
seconds and then display dashes (- -) in
place of the pressure values.
5.
Once you repair or replace the original road
tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the
compact spare tire, the TPMS will update
automatically and the Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light will turn OFF, as long as no tire
pressure is below the low-pressure warning
limit in any of the four active road tires. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10
minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for
the TPMS to receive this information.
TPMS Deactivation — If EquippedThe TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
wheel and tire assemblies that do not have
TPMS Sensors, such as when installing Winter
wheel and tire assemblies on your vehicle. To
deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires
not equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring(TPM) Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for 10
minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS
will chime, the “TPM Telltale Light” will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on and
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will display the “SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM” message and then display dashes (--) in
place of the pressure values. Beginning with the
next ignition switch cycle, the TPMS will no
longer chime or flash the TPM telltale and
display the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message
in the EVIC but dashes (--) will remain in place
of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires
equipped with TPM sensors. Then, drive the
vehicle for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the “TPM
Telltale Light” will flash on and off for 75 sec-
onds and then turn off, and the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display
the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message. The
EVIC will also display pressure values in place
of the dashes. On the next ignition switch cycle
209

the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message will no
longer be displayed as long as no system fault
exists.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires
equipped with TPM sensors. Then, drive the
vehicle for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the “TPM
Telltale Light” will flash on and off for 75 sec-
onds and then turn off, and the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display
the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message. The
EVIC will also display pressure values in place
of the dashes. On the next ignition switch cycle,
the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message will no
longer be displayed as long as no system fault
exists.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
GASOLINE ENGINE
All gasoline engines are designed to meet all
emissions regulations and provide excellent
fuel economy and performance when using
high quality unleaded gasoline with a minimum
research octane rating (RON) of 91.Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued
heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause
damage and immediate service is required.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you
experience these symptoms, try another brand
of gasoline before considering service for the
vehicle.
Besides using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating, gasolines that contain
detergents, corrosion and stability additives are
recommended. Using gasolines that have these
additives may help improve fuel economy, re-
duce emissions, and maintain vehicle perfor-
mance.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling and stumble. If you
experience these problems, try another brand
of gasoline before considering service for the
vehicle.
Methanol(Methyl) is used in a variety of concentrations
when blended with unleaded gasoline. You mayfind fuels containing 3% or more methanol
along with other alcohols called cosolvents.
Problems that result from using methanol/
gasoline blends are not the responsibility of the
manufacturer.
CAUTION!
Do not use gasolines containing Methanol.
Use of these blends may result in starting
and drivability problems and may damage
critical fuel system components.
EthanolThe manufacturer recommends that your ve-
hicle be operated on fuel containing no more
than 15% ethanol. Purchasing your fuel from a
reputable supplier may reduce the risk of ex-
ceeding this 15% limit and/or of receiving fuel
with abnormal properties. It should also be
noted that an increase in fuel consumption
should be expected when using ethanol-
blended fuels, due to the lower energy content
of ethanol. Problems that result from using
