VERSIONS WITH MECHANICAL KEY
The key can be turned to three different
positions fig. 6:
STOP: engine off, key can be removed,
steering column locked (with key
removed). Some electrical devices (e.g.
central door locking system, alarm, etc.)
are still available;
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are available;
AVV: engine starting.
NOTE On versions with automatictransmission the ignition key can only be
removed when the gear lever is at P
(Park).
VERSIONS WITH ELECTRONIC KEY
(Keyless Enter-N-Go system)
To activate the ignition device the
electronic key must be inside the
passenger compartment. The ignition
device fig. 7 activates also if the
electronic key is inside the luggage

5)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This holds true for cars being
towed as well.
6)Before leaving the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the handbrake. On versions
equipped with automatic transmission,
move the gear lever to STOP (Park) and
press the ignition device to set it to STOP.
When leaving the vehicle, always lock all
the doors by pressing the button on the
handle.
7)For versions equipped with the Keyless
Enter-N-Go system, do not leave the
electronic key inside or near the car or in
a place accessible to children. Do not
leave the vehicle with the ignition device
in MAR position. A child could activate
the electric window winders, other
controls or even start the vehicle.SENTRY KEY®
TheSentry Key®system, prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that the
vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition device is taken to
MAR, theSentry Key®system identifies
the code transmitted by the key. If the
code is recognised as valid, theSentry
Key®system enables engine starting.
When the ignition device is brought back
to STOP, theSentry Key®system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, thus preventing its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph, "Starting
and driving" chapter.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bringthe ignition device to STOP and then to
MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact a
Jeep Dealership.
If the
icon is displayed while driving,
this means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage
drop). If the displaying is still on, contact
a Jeep Dealership.

ALARM
Activation of the alarm triggers the
acoustic warning and the direction
indicators.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to
meet requirements in various
countries.
SWITCHING ON THE ALARM
With the doors, bonnet and tailgate
closed and the ignition device turned to
STOP, point the key with remote control
(or electronic key) towards the vehicle
and press and release button
.
Except for specific markets, the system
emits a visual and acoustic signal and
enables door locking.
With the alarm on, warning light A
fig. 8 flashes on the instrument panel.
TURNING THE ALARM OFF
Press thebutton.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not
switch off when the central opening is
activated using the metal insert in the
key.DISABLING THE ALARM
To completely deactivate the alarm (e.g.
during a long period of vehicle inactivity),
close the doors by turning the metal
insert of the key with remote control in
the door lock.
IMPORTANT If the batteries of the key
with the remote control run out or the
system fails, the alarm can be
switched off by placing the ignition
device to MAR. On versions equipped
with Keyless Enter-N-Go system,
manually open the doors by placing
the metal insert that is in the key in
the driver side door pawl and then
place the same electronic key on the
ignition device.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

STARTING THE ENGINE
116) 117) 118)44) 45) 46) 47)
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown on the
display.
LPG versions
The engine always starts up on petrol
independently of the previously selected
mode.
There must therefore always be some
petrol in the tank to protect the petrol
pump and to guarantee temporary
switching from Methane or LPG to petrol
operation, if high performance is
required.
PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Proceed as follows:engage the electric parking brake and
place the gear lever in neutral;
bring the ignition device to MAR. On
Diesel versions, waning lightlights upin the instrument panel: wait for the
warning light to switch off;
fully depress the clutch pedal without
touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;
if the engine does not start within
10 seconds, bring the ignition device
back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure.
PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
WITH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
Proceed as follows:engage the electric parking brake and
place the gear lever to P (Park) or N
(Neutral);
fully depress the brake pedal without
touching the accelerator;
place the ignition device to AVV;if the engine does not start, bring the
ignition device back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure.
IMPORTANT If, with the ignition
device at MAR, thesymbol on the
instrument panel stays on together
with warning light
, turn the
ignition device to STOP and then back
to MAR. If the warning light (or thesymbol 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.
ENGINE STARTING FAILURE
Starting the engine with electronic key
battery (Keyless Enter-N-Go) run down or
flat
If the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run down
or flat. Therefore, the system does not
detect the presence of the electronic key
on board the vehicle and displays a
dedicated message.
In this case, rest the rounded edge of the
electronic key (the side opposite the
metal insert) on the ignition device and
press the button by the electronic key.
The ignition device is thus activated and
the engine can be started.
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.
146
STARTING AND DRIVING

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 engine will stop and the
ignition device will switch to MAR.
WARNING
116)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
117)The brake servo is not active until
the engine is started, so you would need
to apply much more force than usual to
the brake pedal.
118)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
44)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km
(1000 miles), you do not drive to full car
performance (e.g. excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp braking,
etc.).
45)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
46)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
47)Warning light
will flash after
starting or during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault with the glow plug heating
system. If the engine starts, the vehicle
can be regularly used, but a Jeep
Dealership must be contacted as soon as
possible.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
Always remove the ignition key when
leaving the car.
When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
engage a gear (1st gear if facing uphill
or reverse if facing downhill) and leave
the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone
if the car is parked on a steep slope.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission or dual clutch automatic
transmission, wait for the letter P to be
displayed before releasing the brake
pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with
the gearbox in neutral (or, on versions
equipped with automatic transmission
or dual clutch automatic transmission,
before putting the shift lever in the P
position).
147

IMPORTANT In the event of a
temporary failure it is anyway
recommended to contact a Jeep
Dealership as soon as possible.
IGNITION LOCK AND PARK
POSITION
Versions equipped with the Keyless
Enter-N-Go system: this function requires
the gear lever to be positioned to P (Park)
before bringing the ignition device to
position STOP.
Versions equipped with mechanical key:
this function requires the gear lever to be
positioned to P (Park) before extracting
the key from the ignition device.
If the vehicle battery is flat and the
ignition key is engaged, the latter is
locked in position. To remove the key
manually see paragraph "Automatic
transmission lever unlock" in chapter "In
an emergency".
GEAR ENGAGEMENT DISABLING
SYSTEM WITHOUT BRAKE
PEDAL PRESSED
This system prevents you from moving
the gear lever from position P (Park) if
the brake pedal has not been previously
depressed.
To bring the gear lever to a position other
than P (Park), the ignition device must
be in position AVV (engine on or off) and
the brake pedal must be depressed.
WARNING
123)Never use position P instead of the
electric parking brake. Always engage the
electric parking brake when parking the
vehicle to avoid the accidental movement
of the vehicle.
124)If the P position is not engaged, the
vehicle could move and injure people.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that
the gear lever is in position P and that the
electric parking brake is engaged.125)Do not shift the gear lever to N and
do not stop the engine when driving on a
downhill road. This type of driving is
dangerous and reduces the possibility of
intervening in the case of variation of the
road traffic or surface. You risk losing
control of your vehicle and causing
accidents.
126)Before moving the gear lever from
position P, bring the ignition device to
position MAR and press the brake pedal.
Otherwise, the gear lever may get
damaged.
127)Engage reverse only with the car
stationary, engine at idling speed and
accelerator fully released.
153

available and restart the engine, using
the gear lever as described previously.
MOVING THE CAR
To move the car, from P press the brake
pedal and, using the button on the gear
lever, move the lever to the desired
position (D, R or "Sequential mode"). The
display will show the gear engaged.
When the brake pedal is released, the car
starts moving forwards or backwards, as
soon as the manoeuvre is activated
("creeping" effect). The accelerator
should not be pressed in this case.
IMPORTANT The inconsistency
between the speed actually engaged
(shown on the display) and the
position of the gear lever is indicated
by the letter corresponding to the
position of the lever flashing on the
trim (also accompanied by an acoustic
signal).
This condition should not be interpreted
as an operational fault, but simply as a
request by the system to repeat the
manoeuvre.
IMPORTANT With engine running and
car stationary, in "Sequential mode",
the request for engaging 2
ndgear is
not accepted by the system (whether
the brake pedal is pressed or not).
If, with 1stgear or reverse (R) engaged,
the following conditions occur:
road slope over 5%;clutch overheated;engine torque constant for a given
period (e.g. if the car hits the pavement
or is parked downhill/uphill);
car movement is achieved by pressing
the accelerator pedal.
IMPORTANT With the electric parking
brake released and brake pedal
released, engine at idling speed and
gear lever in position D, R or
sequential, pay the utmost care
because the car can move even
without the operation of the
accelerator pedal. This condition can
be used with the car on a level surface
during tight parking manoeuvres using
the brake pedal only.
VEHICLE SHUTDOWN
Versions equipped with a Keyless Go
system: shift the gear lever to P (Park)
before shutting down the vehicle by
pressing the button next to the steering
wheel (see fig. 108 ).Versions equipped with key without remote
control: shift the gear lever to P (Park)
before extracting the key from the
ignition device.
If the vehicle battery is flat and the
ignition key is engaged, the latter is
locked in position.
Versions with a Start&Stop system: in order
to switch off the engine, the vehicle
needs to be stopped by applying
appropriate pressure on the brake pedal.
If the pressure is not sufficient, the
engine will not switch off. This feature
can be exploited so that the engine does
not switch off in particular traffic
conditions.
