2021 JEEP PATRIOT fuse

ELECTRICAL POWER
OUTLETS
There is a standard 12 Volt (13 Amp) power
outlet located in the Integrated Center Stack
(ICS) for added convenience. This power outlet
can power mobile phones, electronics and other
low power devices.
Power is available when the ignition switch is in
the ON or ACC position. Insert the cigar lighter
or accessory plug into the outlet for use.To
preserve the heating element, do not hold
the lighter in the heating position.NOTE:
To ensure proper operation a MOPAR knob
and element must be used.
CAUTION!
•Do not exceed the maximum power of 160
Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160
Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded
the fuse protecting the system will need to
be replaced.
•Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not insert any other object in
the power outlets as this will damage the
outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use of
the power outlet can cause damage not
covered by your New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Only devices designed for use in this type
of outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt
outlet.
•Do not touch with wet hands.
•Close the lid when not in use and while
driving the vehicle.
•If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an
electric shock and failure.

1. Speedometer
•The Speedometer shows the vehicle
speed in miles per hour (MPH) and kilo-
meters per hour (km/h).
NOTE:
A chime will sound when the vehicle speed
is above 120 km/h.
Odometer Display / Trip Odometer Dis-
playThis display indicates the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven.
2. Tachometer
•This gauge measures engine revolutions
per minute (RPM x 1000). Before the
pointer reaches the red area, ease up on
the accelerator to prevent engine damage.
3. Temperature Gauge
•The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading within
the normal range indicates that the engine
cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
•The gauge pointer will likely indicate a
higher temperature when driving in hot
weather or up mountain grades. It shouldnot be allowed to exceed the upper limits
of the normal operating range.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system
could damage your vehicle. If the tempera-
ture gauge reads “H” pull over and stop the
vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air condi-
tioner turned off until the pointer drops back
into the normal range. If the pointer remains
on the “H”, turn the engine off immediately
and call an authorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous.
You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant. You may want to
call an authorized dealer for service if your
vehicle overheats. If you decide to look un-
der the hood yourself, see “Maintaining Your
Vehicle”. Follow the warnings under the
Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.4. Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)

Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
— If Equipped
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) features a driver-interactive display that
is located in the instrument cluster. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)”
in this section for further information.
Message Display Area
When the appropriate conditions exist, the fol-
lowing odometer messages will display:
door..................Door Open
gATE................Liftgate Open
LoW tirE...........Low Tire Pressure
gASCAP.............Fuel Cap Fault
noFUSE................Fuse Fault
CHAngE OIL.......Oil Change Required
LoCOOL..............Low Coolant

NOTE:
Some of the above warnings will be dis-
played in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center Display Area located in the instru-
ment cluster.
Refer to ”Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) — If Equipped” in this section for further
information.
LoW tirE
When the appropriate condition exists, the
odometer display will toggle between LoW and
tirE for three cycles.
gASCAP
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that
the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed,
or damaged, a “gASCAP” message will display
in the odometer display area. Tighten the fuel
filler cap properly and push the STEP button on
the steering wheel to turn off the message. If the
problem continues, the message will appear the
next time the vehicle is started.noFUSE
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that
the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse is improperly
installed, or damaged, a “noFUSE” message
will display in the odometer display area. Refer
to “Fuses” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for
further information on fuses and fuse locations.
CHAngE OIL
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The odometer display
will toggle betweenCHAngEandOilfor ap-
proximately 12 seconds, after a single chime
has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil
change interval. The engine oil change indicator
system is duty cycle-based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate depen-
dent upon your personal driving style.
5. Fuel Gauge
•The pointer shows the level of fuel in the
fuel tank when the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position.•The fuel pump symbol points to the
side of the vehicle where the fuel door is
located.
WARNING AND INDICATOR
LIGHTS
IMPORTANT:The warning / indicator lights
switch on in the instrument panel together with
a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal
when applicable. These indications are indica-
tive and precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to
the information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read carefully
in all cases. Always refer to the information in
this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
All active telltales will display first if applicable.
The system check menu may appear different
based upon equipment options and current
vehicle status. Some telltales are optional and
may not appear.

When cleaning the rear view mirror, spray
cleaner on the towel or cloth that you are using.
Do not spray cleaner directly on the mirror.
Instrument Panel Cover
The instrument panel cover has a low glare
surface which minimizes reflections on the
windshield. Do not use protectants or other
products which may cause undesirable reflec-
tions. Use soap and warm water to restore the
low glare surface.
Instrument Panel Bezels
CAUTION!
When installing hanging air fresheners in
your vehicle, read the installation instructions
carefully. Some air fresheners will damage
the finish of painted or decorated parts if
allowed to directly contact any surface.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this
vehicle are molded in clear plastic. When clean-
ing the lenses, care must be taken to avoid
scratching the plastic.1. Clean with a wet soft cloth. A mild soap
solution may be used, but do not use high
alcohol content or abrasive cleaners. If soap
is used, wipe clean with a clean damp cloth.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye, or clean the belts with
chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will
weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also
weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use MOPAR Total
Clean, a mild soap solution, or lukewarm water.
Do not remove the belts from the vehicle to
wash them. Dry with a soft cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn
or if the buckles do not work properly.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a
collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically, check-

WARNING!(Continued)
ing for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged
parts must be replaced immediately. Do not
disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt
assemblies must be replaced after a collision
if they have been damaged (i.e., bent retrac-
tor, torn webbing, etc.).
FUSES
WARNING!
•When replacing a blown fuse, always use
an appropriate replacement fuse with the
same amp rating as the original fuse.
Never replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace a blown
fuse with metal wires or any other material.
Failure to use proper fuses may result in
serious personal injury, fire and/or property
damage.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the
ignition is off and that all the other services
are switched off and/or disengaged.
•If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
an authorized dealer.
•If a general protection fuse for safety sys-
tems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system, gear-
box system) or steering system blows,
contact an authorized dealer.
Integrated Power Module (IPM)The Integrated Power Module is located in the
engine compartment near the air cleaner as-
sembly. This center contains cartridge fuses
and mini-fuses. A label that identifies each
component may be printed on the inside of the
cover. Refer to “Engine Compartment” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for further information.
