2021 JEEP PATRIOT ESP

WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical condition must exercise care
when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially
if used for long periods of time.
•Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a
seat that has been overheated could
cause serious burns due to the increased
surface temperature of the seat.
Manual Front Seat AdjustmentOn models equipped with manual seats, the
adjusting bar is located at the front of the seats,
near the floor. While sitting in the seat, lift up on
the bar and move the seat forward or rearward.
Release the bar once you have reached thedesired position. Then, using body pressure,
move forward and rearward on the seat to be
sure that the seat adjusters have latched.
WARNING!
•Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause a collision and serious injury or
death.

If your vehicle is equipped with the Camera
Delay feature and it is turned On, the rear
camera image will be displayed for up to 10
seconds when the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE unless the forward vehicle speed
exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h), the transmission isshifted into"PARK"or the vehicles ignition is
cycled to the OFF position.
Static grid lines will illustrate the width of the
vehicle. The static grid lines will show separate
zones that will help indicate the distance to the
rear of the vehicle. Different colored zonesindicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle.
The following table shows the approximate dis-
tances for each zone:
Zone Distance to the rear of the vehicle
Red 0-1ft(0-30cm)
Yellow 1 ft-3ft(30cm-1m)
Green 3 ft or greater (1 m or greater)
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even
when using the ParkView Rear Back Up Cam-
era. Always check carefully behind your vehicle,
and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots be-
fore backing up. You are responsible for the
safety of your surroundings and must continue
to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
•To avoid vehicle damage, ParkView should
only be used as a parking aid. The
ParkView camera is unable to view every
obstacle or object in your drive path.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
•To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must
be driven slowly when using ParkView to
be able to stop in time when an obstacle is
seen. It is recommended that the driver
look frequently over his/her shoulder when
using ParkView.

bar to the desired position, keeping the cross-
bars perpendicular to the luggage rack side
rails. Once the crossbar is in one of the seven
detent positions, retighten the thumb screws to
lock the crossbar into position.
NOTE:
•To help control wind noise when the
crossbars are not in use, place the front
crossbar in the first detent from the front
of the vehicle and the rear crossbar in the
second detent from the rear of the ve-
hicle.
•If the rear crossbar (or any metallic ob-
ject) is placed over the satellite radio
antenna (if equipped), you may experi-
ence interruption of satellite radio recep-
tion. For improved satellite radio recep-
tion, place the rear crossbar in the second
detent from the rear of the vehicle when
not in use.CAUTION!
•To prevent damage to the roof of your
vehicle, DO NOT carry any loads on the
luggage rack without crossbars installed.
The load should be secured and placed on
top of the crossbars, not directly on the
roof. If it is necessary to place the load on
the roof, place a blanket or some other
protection between the load and the roof
surface.
•To avoid damage to the luggage rack and
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum lug-
gage rack load capacity of 150 lb (68 kg).
Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as
possible and secure the load appropriately.
•Long loads which extend over the wind-
shield, such as wood panels or surfboards,
or loads with large frontal area should be
secured to both the front and rear of the
vehicle.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
•Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners
carefully when carrying large or heavy
loads on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to
natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can
add sudden upward lift to a load. This is
especially true on large flat loads and may
result in damage to the cargo or your
vehicle.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before driving
your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can
fly off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds,
resulting in personal injury or property dam-
age. Follow the roof rack cautions when
carrying cargo on your roof rack.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator Light
Yellow Telltale Light What It Means
Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator Light
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tire pressure is lower than the recom-
mended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tire duration and fuel consumption may
not be guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition mentioned above, the display will show the indications corresponding to each
tire in sequence.
IMPORTANT:Do not continue driving with one
or more flat tires as handling may be compro-
mised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking
and steering. Repair immediately using the
dedicated tire repair kit and contact your autho-
rized dealership as soon as possible.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. 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 Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. 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’sresponsibility 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 approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not be

WARNING!
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to
get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the cata-
lytic converter and once the engine has
started, ignite and damage the converter and
vehicle. If the vehicle has a discharged bat-
tery, booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from another vehicle. This type of start
can be dangerous if done improperly, so
follow the procedure carefully. Refer to
“Jump-Starting” in “What To Do In Emergen-
cies” for further information.
Extreme Cold Weather (below −20°F
or −29°C)
To ensure reliable starting at these tempera-
tures, use of an externally powered electric
engine block heater (available from your autho-
rized dealer) is recommended.
If Engine Fails To StartIf the engine fails to start after you have followed
the “Normal Starting” procedure, it may be
flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way
to the floor and hold it there. Crank the engine
for no more than 15 seconds. This should clear
any excess fuel in case the engine is flooded.
Leave the ignition key in the ON position, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and repeat the
“Normal Starting” procedure.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into
the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could result
in flash fire causing serious personal injury.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
crank the engine for more than 15 seconds
at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying
again.
After StartingThe idle speed will automatically decrease as
the engine warms up.
