ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
ABS (Anti-lock Braking
System)
This system, which is an integral part of
the braking system, prevents one or
more wheels from locking and slipping
in all road surface conditions,
irrespective of the intensity of the
braking action, ensuring that the vehicle
can be controlled even during
emergency braking and optimising
stopping distances.
System intervention
The driver can feel that the ABS system
has come into action because the
brake pedal pulsates slightly and the
system gets noisier: this is entirely
normal with the system operating.
31) 32) 33) 34) 35) 36) 37)
DTC (Drag Torque
Control) SYSTEM
The system intervenes in the event of
sudden downshifting, or during ABS
braking, restoring torque to the engine
and thus preventing excessive drag
at the drive wheels, which may lead the
wheels to lock and a loss of vehicle
stability, above all in low-grip
conditions.
ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) SYSTEM
The ESC system improves the
directional control and stability of the
vehicle in various driving conditions,
correcting understeer and oversteer,
distributing the brake force on the
appropriate wheels.
System intervention
The intervention of the system is
indicated by the flashing of the
warning light on the instrument
panel, to inform the driver that
the vehicle is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
38) 39) 40) 41) 42)
TC (Traction Control)
SYSTEM
The system automatically operates in
the event of slipping, loss of grip on wet
roads (aquaplaning) and acceleration
on slippery, snowy or icy roads, etc. on
one or both drive wheels.
System intervention
The intervention of the system is
indicated by the flashing of the
warning light on the instrument
panel, to inform the driver that
the vehicle is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
43) 44) 45) 46) 47)
PBA (Panic Brake
Assist) SYSTEM
The PBA system is designed to
improve the vehicle’s braking capacity
during emergency braking.
The brake pedal should be pressed
continuously during braking, avoiding
intermittent presses, to get the most
out of the system. Do not reduce
pressure on the brake pedal until
braking is not necessary anymore.
The PBA system is deactivated when
the brake pedal is released.
48) 49) 50)
HSA (Hill Start Assist)
SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the
ESC system and facilitates starting on
slopes.
System deactivation
The Hill Start Assist system can be
deactivated using the display Menu
(see the instructions in the "Display"
paragraph, "Knowing the instrument
panel" chapter).

SAFETY

42)ESC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary
or unfounded risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
43)For the correct operation of the TC
system, the tyres must of necessity be the
same make and type on all wheels, in
perfect condition and, above all, of the
prescribed type and size.
44)TC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unfounded risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
45)The TC system can’t overrule the
natural laws of physics, and can’t increase
the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
46)The TC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
47)The capability of the TC must never be
tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
48)The PBA system can’t overrule the
natural laws of physics, and can’t increase
the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
49)The PBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.50)The capability of the PBA system must
never be tested irresponsibly and
dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise the safety of the driver, the
other occupants of the vehicle or any other
road user.
51)The Hill Start Assist system is not a
parking brake; therefore, never leave the
vehicle without having engaged the electric
parking brake, turned the engine off and
engaged first gear, so that it is parked
in safe conditions (for further information
read the "Parking" paragraph in the
"Starting and driving" chapter).
52)There may be situations on small
gradients (less than 8%), with vehicle
laden, in which the Hill Start Assist system
may not activate, causing a slight reversing
motion and increasing the risk of collision
with another vehicle or object. The driver is,
in any case, responsible for safe driving.
53)DST is an aid for driving and does not
relieve the driver of responsibility for driving
the vehicle.
54)The performance of a vehicle with ERM
must never be tested in imprudent or
dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver or other
people at risk.
55)When towing trailers, the utmost
caution at the wheel is advised. Never
exceed the maximum permitted loads (see
the description in the "Weights" paragraph
in the "Technical Specifications" chapter).56)The TSC system cannot prevent
swerving for all trailers. If the system
activates during driving, reduce the speed,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and arrange
the load correctly to prevent the trailer
from swerving.
57)Prolonged use of the system may
overheat the braking system. If the brakes
overheat, the HDC system, when active,
will be gradually deactivated after suitably
informing the driver (LED on button off):
it can be reactivated only when the brakes
have cooled sufficiently. The distance
that can be covered depends on the
temperature of the brakes and therefore on
the gradient, load and speed of the
vehicle.
58)The performance of a vehicle with HDC
must never be tested in imprudent or
dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver or other
people at risk.
59)When "Systems partially disabled"
mode is selected, the intervention of the
TC function is limited to braking action on
the individual drive wheels and the
warning lights switches on in the
instrument panel. In "systems partially
disabled" mode, the engine torque value
that the ESC system may require will
not be guaranteed and the stability of the
vehicle will therefore be reduced.
60)With "Systems partially disabled" mode
selected, the TSC (Trailer Sway Control)
system is disabled.
61)Your driving style must always be
suited to the road conditions, visibility and
traffic. The driver is, in any case,
responsible for safe driving.

SAFETY

"Blind spot alert", "Visual" mode:
when this mode is active, the BSM
system sends a visual warning to the
relevant door mirror, according to
the detected object. When operating in
RCP mode, the system sends visual
and acoustic warnings when the
presence of an approaching object is
detected. When an acoustic warning is
sent, theUconnect™volume is
lowered.
"Blind spot alert", "Visual &
acoustic" mode: when this mode is
active, the BSM system sends a visual
warning to the relevant door mirror,
according to the detected object. If the
direction indicator on the side where
an obstacle has been detected is
activated, an acoustic warning is
emitted as well. When the acoustic
warning is emitted, theUconnect™
volume is lowered.
"Blind spot alert" function
deactivation: when the system is
deactivated ("Blind spot alert" mode at
"OFF"), the BSM or RCP systems will
not emit neither acoustic nor visual
warnings. The BSM system will store
the operating mode running when
the engine was switched off: each time
the engine is started, the operating
mode stored previously will be recalled
and used.FORWARD COLLISION

It comprises a radar located behind the
front bumper fig. 57 and a camera
located in the central part of the
windscreen fig. 58.
In the event of an imminent collision the
system intervenes by automatically
braking the vehicle to prevent the crash
or reduce its effects.The system may lightly brake to warn
the driver if a possible frontal accident
is detected. Signals and limited braking
are intended to allow the driver to
react promptly, in order to prevent or
reduce the effects of a potential
accident.
Versions equipped with Stop/Start
system: at the end of the automatic
braking, the Stop/Start system will
activate as described in paragraph
"Stop/Start system" of this chapter.
Versions equipped with manual
gearbox: at the end of the automatic
braking the engine may stall and turn
off, unless the clutch pedal is pressed.
Versions equipped with automatic
transmission: at the end of the
braking, the latest stored gear
is engaged: the vehicle may restart after
a few seconds from the automatic
stop.
IMPORTANT After the vehicle is
stopped, the brake calipers may be
locked for about 2 seconds for safety
reasons. Make sure you press the
brake pedal if the vehicle moves slightly
forwards.

IMPORTANT The TPMS is designed for
original tyres and wheels. Pressure
and alarms signalled by the TPMS are
defined according to the size of the
tyres fitted on the vehicle. Using spare
wheels of a size, type and/or design
different from the original ones may
cause an irregular operation of the
system and damage the sensors.
Aftermarket fitted wheels may damage
the sensors. Using aftermarket tyre
sealants may damage the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System sensor. If
aftermarket tyre sealant is used it is
recommended to go to a Jeep
Dealership to have the sensors
checked. After tyre pressure check and
adjustment, always refit the valve plug
to prevent humidity and dirt from
entering, these may damage the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System sensor.
TPMS check message
If a system failure is present, the
warning light flashes for about 75
seconds and then stays on constantly.
An acoustic signal is also issued.
TPMS deactivation
The TPMS can be deactivated by
replacing the wheels equipped with
TPMS with others that are not (e.g.
upon replacement of the wheel
assemblies in winter). Then drive the
vehicle for at least 20 minutes at a
speed higher than about 25 km/h (15
mph). The TPMS will emit an acoustic
warning, the
warning light will flash
for about 75 seconds, then will stay
on constantly and the instrument panel
will display the "TPMS check" message
with some dashes (– –) instead of the
pressure values.
At the next engine start, the system will
not emit any acoustic signal and the
display will not show the message
"TPMS check", but the dashes (– –) will
be still displayed instead of the pressure
value.
WARNING
63)The system is an aid for vehicle driving,
it DOES NOT warn the driver about
incoming vehicles outside of the detection
areas. The driver must always maintain a
sufficient level of attention to the traffic and
road conditions and for controlling the
trajectory of the vehicle.64)The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while driving.
The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
65)If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
66)The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. People, animals
and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken
into consideration.
67)If the vehicle must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if
it is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part
(e.g. another vehicle, a wall or another
obstacle), the system may detect its
presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
settings of theUconnect™system.
68)The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular checks
of the tyre pressure, including for the
spare wheel, and correct maintenance: the
system is not used to signal a possible
fault to a tyre.
69)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres rested and cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason to check
pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than
the prescribed value. Repeat the check
when the tyres are cold.

, turn the ignition
device to STOP and then back to MAR.
If the warning light (or the symbol on
the display) remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the vehicle.
Contact a Jeep Dealership if the engine
still does not start.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Proceed as follows:
❒park the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic; engage
a gear (versions with manual gearbox)
or position the gear lever to P (Parking)
(versions with automatic transmission);
❒turn the ignition device to STOP
with the engine idling.
Cars equipped with electronic key
(Keyless Enter-N-Go):at a car speed
over 8 km/h (5 mph) it is possible to
switch the engine off, also with
automatic transmission lever in a
position other than P (Parking). To
switch off the engine in this situation,
hold down the ignition device button for
a while or press it 3 times in a row
within a few seconds. In this case the

❒"Drive Away Release": (where
available) the electric parking brake will
automatically disengage with the driver
side seat belt fastened and the
detection of an action performed by the
driver to move the vehicle (forward
gear or reverse gear);
❒"Safe Hold": when the vehicle speed
is lower than 3 km/h, the gear lever is
not at P (Park) on versions with
automatic transmission and when the
intention of the driver to leave the
vehicle is detected, the electric parking
brake will automatically engage so
that the vehicle is in safe conditions.❒"Auto Park Brake": if the vehicle
speed is lower than 3 km/h, the electric
parking brake will automatically engage
with the gear lever moved to P (Park)
position (versions with automatic
transmission), or with the ignition device
at STOP (versions with manual
gearbox). The LED on the switch fig. 87
located on the central tunnel switches
on together with the warning light
on the instrument panel when the
parking brake is engaged and applied
to the wheels. Each automatic parking
brake engagement can be cancelled by
pressing the switch on the central
tunnel and moving at the same time the
gear lever for the automatic
transmission to position P (Park) or the
ignition device to STOP (versions with
manual gearbox).
SAFE HOLD
It is a safety function that automatically
engages the electric parking brake in
the event of a dangerous condition for
the vehicle.
If:
❒the vehicle speed is below 3 km/h;
❒the gear lever is not at P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission);
❒the driver's seat belt is not fastened;
❒the driver side door is open;❒no attempted operation of the brake
pedal or, on versions with manual

automatically to prevent the vehicle
movement.
The Safe Hold function can be
temporarily disabled by pressing the
switch located on the central tunnel
and the brake pedal at the same time,
with the vehicle stationary and the
driver side door open.
Once disabled, the function will activate
again when the vehicle speed reaches
20 km/h or the ignition device is moved
to STOP and then to MAR.
WARNING
112)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the front wheels
must be steered towards the pavement
(when parking downhill), or in the opposite
direction if the vehicle is parked uphill. If
the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is
advisable to block the wheels with a
wedge or stone.
113)Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle. Always remove the key from
the ignition device when leaving the vehicle
and take it with you.
114)The electric parking brake must

reached towards + or – . These
positions are unstable.
To exit position P (Park), or to pass from
position N (Neutral) to position D (Drive)
or R (Reverse) when the vehicle is
stopped or is moving at a low speed,
the brake pedal must be pressed either
(see "Gear engagement disabling
system with brake engaged" in this
chapter).
IMPORTANT DO NOT accelerate while
shifting from position P (or N) to another
position.
IMPORTANT After selecting a gear, wait
a few seconds before accelerating.
This precaution is particularly important
with engine cold.AutoStick - Sequential
shifting mode
In the case of frequent gearshiftings
(e.g. when the vehicle is driven with a
heavy load, on slopes, with strong
headwind or when towing heavy
trailers), it is recommended to use the
AutoStick (sequential shifting) mode
to select and keep a lower fixed ratio.
It is possible to shift from position D
(Drive) to the sequential mode
regardless of vehicle speed.
Activation
With gear lever in position D (Drive), to
activate the sequential drive mode,
move the lever to the left (– and +
indication of the trim). The gear
engaged will be shown on the display.
Gearshifting is made by moving the
