windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen washer
fluid onto the windscreen, the washing
function must be used. With the ring A in
position
, the windscreen wiper is not
activated. In position, the pause time
between the strokes of the windscreenwiper is 10 seconds, independently of
the vehicle speed. In position
, the
pause time between two strokes is set
according to the vehicle speed: when the
speed increases, the time between two
strokes decreases. In positionLOorHI,
the windscreen wiper moves
continuously, i.e. without a pause
between two strokes.

Amber warning lights
Warning light What it means
TPMS SYSTEM
TPMS failure
If a TPMS failure is detected, the warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on fixed.
The display shows the dedicated message. This also happens if there are one or more wheels without
sensors, until initial conditions are restored.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. Repair immediately using the dedicated tyre repair kit
and contact the dedicated Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower
than the recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tyre
duration and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.
Should two or more tyres be in the condition mentioned above, the display will show the indications
corresponding to each tyre in sequence.
In any situation in which the message on the display is “See manual”, it is ESSENTIAL to refer to the
contents of the “Wheels” paragraph in the “Technical data” chapter and strictly comply with the
instructions you find there.
ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on to indicate an ABS fault. In this case the braking system maintains its
efficiency unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS system. The display shows the dedicated
message. Drive carefully and contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
