YELLOW INDICATOR LIGHTS
4WD Low Indicator Light — If Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle
is in the 4WD Low mode. The front and
rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together forcing the front and rear
wheels to rotate at the same speed. Low range
provides a greater gear reduction ratio to provide
increased torque at the wheels Ú page 112.
4WD Lock Indicator Light
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle
is in the 4WD Lock mode. The front and
rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together, forcing the front and rear
wheels to rotate at the same speed Ú page 112.
Auto HOLD! Fault Indicator Light —
If Equipped
The Auto HOLD! Fault Indicator light will
illuminate if a fault is detected, it will be
indicated by a yellow HOLD! indicator
light that will stay on as long as the fault
condition exists.

Active Speed Limiter Fault Indicator Light —
If Equipped

This warning light will illuminate to signal
when there is a fault detected with the
Active Speed Limiter.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) Indicator
Light — If Equipped
This telltale will turn on to warn you of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front
of you.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) OFF
Indicator Light — If Equipped
This indicator light illuminates to indicate
that Forward Collision Warning is off.
Immobilizer Fail / VPS Electrical Alarm
Indicator Light
This telltale will illuminate when the
Vehicle Security system has detected an
attempt to break into the vehicle.
NOTE:After cycling the ignition to the ON/RUN position,
the Vehicle Security Warning Light could illuminate
if a problem with the system is detected. This
condition will result in the engine being shut off
after two seconds.
GREEN INDICATOR LIGHTS
Auto HOLD Indicator Light — If Equipped
Auto HOLD keeps your vehicle at a
complete stop without you having to keep
your foot on the brake pedal. Once
engaged a green HOLD indicator will
appear in the Instrument Cluster Display.
Active Lane Management Indicator Light —
If Equipped
The Active Lane Management indicator
light illuminates solid green when both
lane markings have been detected and
the system is “armed” and ready to
provide visual and torque warnings if an
unintentional lane departure occurs.
Parking/Headlights On Indicator Light
This indicator light will illuminate when
the parking lights or headlights are
turned on.
Front Fog Indicator Light — If Equipped
This indicator light will illuminate when
the front fog lights are on Ú page 43.

22_MP_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 96

110STARTING AND OPERATING
The following indicators should be used to ensure
that you have properly engaged the transmission
into the PARK position:
When shifting into PARK, push the lock button
on the gear selector, and firmly move the
selector all the way forward until it stops and is
fully seated.
Look at the transmission gear position display
and verify that it indicates the PARK position (P).
With the brake pedal released, verify that the
gear selector will not move out of PARK.
REVERSE (R)
This range is for moving the vehicle backward.
Shift into REVERSE only after the vehicle has come
to a complete stop.
NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing for
prolonged periods with the engine running. The
engine may be started in this range. Apply the
parking brake and shift the transmission into
PARK if you must exit the vehicle.
DRIVE (D)
This range should be used for most city and
highway driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts
and downshifts, and the best fuel economy. The
transmission automatically upshifts through all
forward gears. When frequent transmission shifting occurs (such
as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading
conditions, in hilly terrain, traveling into strong
head winds, or while towing a heavy trailer), use
the AutoStick shift control to select a lower gear
Ú
page 111. Under these conditions, using a lower
gear will improve performance and extend
transmission life by reducing excessive shifting
and heat build-up.
If the transmission temperature exceeds normal
operating limits, the transmission controller may
modify the transmission shift schedule, reduce
engine torque, and/or expand the range of torque
converter clutch engagement. This is done to
prevent transmission damage due to overheating.
If the transmission becomes extremely hot, the
Transmission Temperature Warning Light may
illuminate, and the transmission may operate
differently until the transmission cools down.
During cold temperatures, transmission operation
may be modified depending on engine and/or
transmission temperature as well as vehicle
speed. This feature improves warm-up time of the
engine and transmission to achieve maximum
efficiency. Engagement of the torque converter
clutch (and, for the 9-speed, shifts into EIGHTH or
NINTH gear), are inhibited until the engine and/or
transmission is warm. Normal operation will
resume once the temperature(s) have risen to a
suitable level.
WARNING!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the
ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe
practices that limit your response to changing
traffic or road conditions. You might lose control
of the vehicle and have a collision.
CAUTION!
Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any
other reason with the transmission in NEUTRAL
can cause severe transmission damage.
For Recreational Towing Ú page 160.
For Towing A Disabled Vehicle Ú page 264.

22_MP_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 110

112STARTING AND OPERATING
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the
transmission 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 equipment to assess the
condition of your transmission. 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 transmission 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
accelerations, the clutch automatically
disengages.
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 engaged, 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 automatic
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 traction 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.
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).

4WD Buttons

Enabling Four-Wheel Drive (4x4)
The buttons for the activation of four-wheel drive
are located on the center console and allow you to
select the following:
4WD LOCK
4WD LOW — (Trailhawk models only)
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.
1 — 4WD LOW (Trailhawk models only)
2 — 4WD LOCK

22_MP_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 112

STARTING AND OPERATING113
Active Drive Control — If Equipped
The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) is locked to ensure
immediate availability of torque to the rear drive
axles. This feature is selectable in AUTO mode and
automatic in the other driving mode. 4WD LOCK
can be enabled by the following ways:
When the 4WD LOCK button is pushed.
When the Selec-Terrain switch is moved from
AUTO to any other off-road modes.
Active Drive With Low Control — (Trailhawk models
only)
The 4WD LOW mode helps to improve the off-road
performance in all modes. To enable 4WD LOW,
please follow the steps below:
Enabling 4WD LOW
With the vehicle stationary, the ignition in the ON/
RUN position or with the engine running, shift the
transmission into NEUTRAL and push the 4WD
LOW button once. The instrument cluster will
display the message “4WD LOW” once the shift is
complete.
NOTE:
Both LOCK and LOW LED lights will blink and
then become active on the buttons until the
shift is complete.
The instrument cluster display will illuminate the
4WD LOW icon. Disabling 4WD LOW
To disable the 4WD LOW mode, the vehicle must
be stationary and the transmission shifted into
NEUTRAL. Push the 4WD LOW button once.
SELEC-TERRAIN — IF EQUIPPED
Selec-Terrain combines the capabilities of the
vehicle control systems, along with driver input, to
provide the best performance for all terrains.
MODE SELECTION GUIDE

Selec-Terrain Switch

AUTO
: This four-wheel drive operation is a
continuous operation, is fully automatic and can
be used on and off road. This mode balances
traction to ensure maneuverability and acceler -
ation improvement compared to a vehicle with
two wheel drive. This mode also reduces fuel consumption, since it allows the disconnect of
the drive shaft where conditions permit.
SNOW
: This mode allows you to have greater
stability under conditions of bad weather. For
use on and off road on surfaces with poor trac-
tion, such as roads covered with snow. When in
SNOW mode (depending on certain operating
conditions), the transmission may use SECOND
gear (rather than FIRST gear) during launches,
to minimize wheel slippage.
SAND/MUD : For off-road driving or use on
surfaces with poor traction, such as dry sand
and roads covered by mud or wet grass. The
transmission is set to provide maximum trac -
tion.
ROCK : (Trailhawk only): This mode is only avail -
able in 4WD LOW range. The device sets the
vehicle to maximize traction and allow the
highest steering capacity for off-road surfaces.
This mode gives you the maximum performance
off-road. Use for low speed obstacles such as
large rocks, deep ruts, etc.
SPORT : This mode is only available in 4WD
AUTO, and alters the transmission's automatic
shift schedule for sportier driving. Upshift
speeds are increased to make full use of avail -
able engine power. Suspension settings are
optimized and steering assist is modified to
provide better handling performance.

STARTING AND OPERATING145
The sensors may not detect objects of a partic -
ular shape or made from particular materials
(very thin poles, trailer beams, panels, nets,
bushes, anti-parking posts, pavements, rubbish
bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great
care to check that the vehicle and its path are
actually compatible with the parking place iden -
tified by the system.
The use of wheels and tires that are different
size to the original equipment could affect the
operation of the system.
The operation of the rear sensors is automati -
cally deactivated when the trailer's electric plug
is inserted in the vehicle's tow hook socket,
while the front sensors stay active and can
provide acoustic and visual warnings. If this situ -
ation occurs, Active Park Assist will not work.
The rear sensors are automatically reactivated
when the trailer's cable plug is removed.
In "Search in Progress" mode, the system could
incorrectly identify a parking place to carry out
the maneuver (e.g. by a junction, driveways,
roads crossing the direction of travel, etc.).
In the case of parking maneuvers on roads with
inclines, the performance of the system could
be inferior and it may deactivate.
If a parking maneuver is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside a curb,
the system may cause the vehicle to drive up
onto the curb.
Some maneuvers at very tight bends might be
impossible to be carried out.
Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking maneuver (e.g. if
there are persons and/or animals in the parking
place, moving vehicles, etc.) and intervene
immediately if necessary.

During parking maneuvers, pay attention to vehi -
cles approaching from the opposite direction.
Always abide by the law and road regulations.

NOTE:
Correct system operation is not guaranteed if
snow chains or the compact spare tire are fitted.
The function only informs the driver about the
last appropriate parking place (parallel or
perpendicular) detected by the parking sensors.
Some messages displayed are accompanied by
acoustic warnings.
ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT OPERATION
The Active Lane Management (ALM) system uses a
forward facing camera to detect lane markings or
road edges and measure vehicle position within
the lane boundaries. It also uses the Blind Spot Monitoring sensors to detect vehicles in adjacent
lanes while the driver is preparing to change lanes.
The system is operational at speeds above 37 mph
(60 km/h) and below 112 mph (180 km/h).
When both lane markings are detected, and the
vehicle drifts out of the lane (no turn signal
applied), the Active Lane Management system
provides a visual warning in the instrument cluster,
as well as a steering assist torque (if configured in
Uconnect Settings), to prompt the driver to remain
within the lane boundaries. If the driver continues
to drift out of the lane, the system provides a
flashing visual warning through the instrument
cluster display as well as a haptic steering wheel
vibration (if configured in Uconnect Settings) when
the vehicle crosses the lane boundary.
The warning will be in the form of a vibration in the
steering wheel, and/or automatic steering
assistance to direct the vehicle back toward the
center of the lane.
When both lane markings are detected, and the
driver uses the turn signal to indicate a lane
change while the system detects another vehicle in
the Blind Spot Monitoring zone on that side of the
vehicle, the Active Lane Management system
provides a warning in the form of steering assist
and/or steering vibration (depending on radio
settings) to guide the vehicle back to the center of
the lane.
4

22_MP_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 145

146STARTING AND OPERATING
Depending on the type of warning selected, the
system will either guide the vehicle back to the
center of the lane, provide a vibration in the
steering wheel, or both.
NOTE:For an event where the Active Lane Management
system is reacting to a target vehicle in the
adjacent lane, the steering vibration will occur as
soon as the vehicle starts to depart the center of its
lane (as opposed to waiting until the lane marker is
crossed), the Blind Spot Monitoring indicator LED
on the mirror will flash, and the steering wheel
torque will be greater than for a normal lane
departure (no vehicle in adjacent lane).
The driver may manually override the steering
assist warning by applying force into the steering
wheel at any time.

When only a single lane marking is detected and the
driver drifts across the lane marking (no turn signal
applied), the Active Lane Management system
provides a visual warning in the instrument cluster,
as well as a steering assist torque (if configured in
Uconnect Settings), to prompt the driver to remain
within the lane boundaries. If the driver continues to
drift out of the lane, the system provides a flashing
visual warning through the instrument cluster
display as well as a haptic steering wheel vibration
(if configured in Uconnect Settings) when the
vehicle crosses the lane boundary.

NOTE:When operating conditions have been met, the
Active Lane Management system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and
provides an audible and visual warning to the
driver if removed. The system will cancel if the
driver does not return their hands to the wheel.
TURNING ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT
O
N OR OFF
The Active Lane Management button is
located on the switch panel below the
Uconnect display.
To turn the system on, push the Active Lane
Management button (LED turns off). A message is
shown in the instrument cluster display.
To turn the system off, push the button again
(LED turns on).
NOTE:The Active Lane Management system will retain
the last system state on or off from the last ignition
cycle when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position.
ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT WARNING
M
ESSAGE
The Active Lane Management system will indicate
the current lane drift condition through the
instrument cluster display.
When the system is on, the lane lines are gray
when both of the lane boundaries have not been
detected.

System On (Gray Lines)

22_MP_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 146

STARTING AND OPERATING163
Traction Downhill
Shift the transmission into a low gear and the 4WD
System to 4WD LOW range or select Hill Descent
Control (if equipped) Úpage 191. Let the vehicle
go slowly down the hill with all four wheels turning
against engine compression drag. This will permit
you to control the vehicle speed and direction.
When descending mountains or hills, repeated
braking can cause brake fade with loss of braking
control. Avoid repeated heavy braking by
downshifting the transmission whenever possible.
After Driving Off-Road
Off-road operation puts more stress on your
vehicle than does most on-road driving. After going
off-road, it is always a good idea to check for
damage.
Completely inspect the underbody of your
vehicle. Check tires, body structure, steering,
suspension, and exhaust system for damage.
Inspect the radiator for mud and debris and
clean as required.
Check threaded fasteners for looseness, partic -
ularly on the chassis, drivetrain components,
steering, and suspension. Retighten them, if
required, and torque to the values specified in
the Service Manual.
Check for accumulations of plants or brush.
These things could be a fire hazard. They might
hide damage to fuel lines, brake hoses, axle
pinion seals, and propeller shafts.
After extended operation in mud, sand, water, or
similar dirty conditions, have the radiator, fan,
brake rotors, wheels, brake linings, and axle
yokes inspected and cleaned as soon as
possible.
Impacted material can cause wheel imbalance.
Freeing the wheels of impacted material will
likely rectify imbalance condition.
WARNING!
Abrasive material in any part of the braking
system may cause excessive wear or
unpredictable braking performance. Full braking
power may not be available to prevent a
collision. If you have been operating your vehicle
in dirty conditions, inspect and clean the braking
components as soon as possible.
