Service 4WD Warning Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate to
signal a fault with the 4WD system.
If the light stays on or comes on
during driving, it means that the 4WD system
is not functioning properly and that service is
required. We recommend you drive to the
nearest service center and have the vehicle
serviced immediately.
Service Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate to
indicate a fault in the Forward Colli -
sion Warning (FCW) With Mitigation
System. Contact an authorized dealer for
service.
Refer to "Forward Collision Warning (FCW)"
in "Safety" for further information.
Service Stop/Start System Warning Light —
If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate
when the Stop/Start system is not
functioning properly and service is
required. Contact an authorized dealer for
service.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Warning Light
The warning light switches on and a
message is displayed to indicate
that the tire pressure is lower than
the recommended value and/or that slow
pressure loss is occurring. In these cases,
optimal tire duration and fuel consumption
may not be guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition
mentioned above, the display will show the
indications corresponding to each tire. Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom
-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Moni -
toring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tire pressure telltale when one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell -
tale illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more
flat tires as handling may be
compromised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding
sharp braking and steering. If a tire
puncture occurs, repair immediately using
the dedicated tire repair kit and contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
66
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute
for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of
the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not
be able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the instal -
lation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue
to function properly.
Towing Hook Breakdown Warning Light — If
Equipped
This light illuminates when there is
a failure with the tow hook. Contact
an authorized dealer for service.
Yellow Indicator Lights
4WD Low Indicator Light — If Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the
vehicle is in the four-wheel drive
LOW mode. The front and rear drive -
shafts 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.
Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation — If
Equipped” in “Starting And Operating” for
further information on four-wheel drive oper -
ation and proper use.
4WD Lock Indicator Light
This light alerts the driver that the
vehicle is in the four-wheel drive
LOCK mode. The front and rear
driveshafts are mechanically locked
together, forcing the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed.
Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation — If
Equipped” in “Starting And Operating” for
further information on four-wheel drive oper -
ation and proper use.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation
or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Using
aftermarket tire sealants may cause the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using
an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to
an authorized dealer to have your sensor
function checked.

(Continued)ESC Operating Modes
NOTE:
Depending upon model and mode of opera-
tion, the ESC system may have multiple
operating modes. ESC OFF Button
ESC On
This is the normal operating mode for the
ESC. Whenever the vehicle is started, the
ESC system will be in this mode. This mode
should be used for most driving conditions.
Alternate ESC modes should only be used for
specific reasons as noted in the following
paragraphs.
Partial Off
The “Partial Off” mode is intended for times
when a more spirited driving experience is
desired. This mode may modify TCS and ESC
thresholds for activation, which allows for
more wheel spin than normally allowed. This
mode may be useful if the vehicle becomes
stuck.
WARNING!
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. ESC cannot prevent acci -
dents, including those resulting from
excessive speed in turns, driving on very
slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC
also cannot prevent accidents resulting
from loss of vehicle control due to inap -
propriate driver input for the conditions.
Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver
can prevent accidents. The capabilities
of an ESC equipped vehicle must never
be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner which could jeopardize the
user’s safety or the safety of others.Vehicle modifications, or failure to prop -
erly maintain your vehicle, may change
the handling characteristics of your
vehicle, and may negatively affect the
performance of the ESC system.
Changes to the steering system, suspen -
sion, braking system, tire type and size
or wheel size may adversely affect ESC
performance. Improperly inflated and
unevenly worn tires may also degrade
ESC performance. Any vehicle modifica-
tion or poor vehicle maintenance that
reduces the effectiveness of the ESC
system can increase the risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.

Changing the FCW status to the “Near”
setting, allows the system to warn the driver
of a possible collision with the vehicle in
front when the distance between the vehicle
in the front is much closer. This setting
provides less reaction time than the “Far”
and “Medium” settings, which allows for a
more dynamic driving experience.
NOTE:
The system will NOT retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut
down. The system will reset to Medium
sensitivity with FCW "Full On" setting
when the vehicle is restarted.
FCW may not react to irrelevant objects
such as overhead objects, ground reflec-
tions, objects not in the path of the
vehicle, stationary objects that are far
away, oncoming traffic, or leading vehicles
with the same or higher rate of speed.
If FCW is disabled, unavailable screens
will be displayed.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display reads “ACC/
FCW Limited Functionality” or “ACC/FCW
Limited Functionality Clean Front Wind-
shield” momentarily, there may be a condi -tion that limits FCW functionality. Although
the vehicle is still drivable under normal
conditions, the active braking may not be
fully available. Once the condition that
limited the system performance is no longer
present, the system will return to its full
performance state. If the problem persists,
see an authorized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument
cluster display reads “FCW Unavailable
Service Required”, this indicates there is an
internal system fault. Although the vehicle is
still drivable under normal conditions, have
the system checked by an authorized dealer.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
will warn the driver of a low tire pressure
based on the vehicle recommended cold
placard pressure.
The tire pressure will vary with temperature
by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F
(6.5°C). This means that when the outside
temperature decreases, the tire pressure will
decrease. Tire pressure should always be set
based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is
defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle
has not been driven for at least three hours,
or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a
three hour period. The cold tire inflation
pressure must not exceed the maximum
inflation pressure molded into the tire side
-
wall. Refer to “Tires” in “Servicing And
Maintenance” for information on how to
properly inflate the vehicle’s tires. The tire
pressure will also increase as the vehicle is
driven. This is normal and there should be no
adjustment for this increased pressure.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire
pressure if the tire pressure falls below the
low-pressure warning limit for any reason,
including low temperature effects and
natural pressure loss through the tire. The
TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low
tire pressure as long as the condition exists,
and will not turn off until the tire pressure is
at or above the recommended cold placard
pressure.
NOTE:
Once the low tire pressure warning (TPMS
Warning Light) illuminates, you must
increase the tire pressure to the recom -
mended cold placard pressure in order for
the TPMS Warning Light to turn off.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 86

87
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure
may need to be increased up to an additional
4 psi (28 kPa) above the recommended cold
placard pressure in order to turn the TPMS
Warning Light off.
The system will automatically update and
the TPMS Warning Light will turn off once
the system receives the updated tire pres-
sures. The vehicle may need to be driven for
up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h)
in order for the TPMS to receive this informa -
tion.
For example, your vehicle may have a recom -
mended cold (parked for more than three
hours) placard pressure of 33 psi (227 kPa).
If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C)
and the measured tire pressure is 28 psi
(193 kPa), a temperature drop to 20°F
(-7°C) will decrease the tire pressure to
approximately 24 psi (165 kPa). This tire
pressure is low enough to turn on the “TPMS
Warning Light.” Driving the vehicle may
cause the tire pressure to rise to approxi -
mately 28 psi (193 kPa), but the TPMS
Warning Light will still be on. In this situa -
tion, the TPMS Warning Light will turn off
only after the tires are inflated to the
vehicle’s recommended cold placard pres -
sure value. NOTE:
The TPMS is not intended to replace
normal tire care and maintenance, or to
provide warning of a tire failure or condi
-
tion.
The TPMS should not be used as a tire
pressure gauge while adjusting your tire
pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Underinflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure using an accurate tire pressure
gauge, even if underinflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of
the TPMS Warning Light.
Seasonal temperature changes will affect
tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor
the actual tire pressure in the tire.
The system only warns the tire pressure is
low: it is not able to inflate them.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system opera-
tion or sensor damage may result when
using replacement equipment that is not
of the same size, type, and/or style. The
TPM sensor is not designed for use on
aftermarket wheels and may contribute
to a poor overall system performance or
sensor damage. Customers are encour -
aged to use OEM wheels to assure proper
TPM feature operation.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) sensor to become inop -
erable. After using an aftermarket tire
sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to your authorized dealer to
have your sensor function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which
could damage the TPMS sensor.

Premium System
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your
vehicle monthly and to maintain the proper
pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following compo-
nents:
Receiver Module
Four Tire Pressure Monitoring sensors
Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System
messages, which will display in the instru -
ment cluster display.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Warning Light will illumi -nate in the instrument cluster and a chime
will sound when tire pressure is low in one or
more of the four active road tires. In addi
-
tion, the instrument cluster will display a
"Tire Low" message and a graphic showing
the pressure values of each tire with the low
tire pressure values highlighted or in a
different color.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warning
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with low pres -
sure (those highlighted or in a different color
in the instrument cluster display graphic) to
the vehicle’s recommended cold placard
pressure value. Once the system receives the
updated tire pressures, the system will auto -
matically update, the pressure values in the
graphic display in the instrument cluster will stop being highlighted or return to their orig
-
inal color, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Warning Light will turn off.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure
may need to be increased up to an additional
4 psi (28 kPa) above the recommended cold
placard pressure in order to turn the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
off.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in
order for the TPMS to receive this informa -
tion.
Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on solid. The system fault will also
sound a chime. In addition, the instrument
cluster will display a "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message for a minimum of five
seconds and then display dashes (- -) in
place of the pressure value to indicate which
sensor is not being received.

Maintaining Your Air Bag System Event Data Recorder (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data
that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
11. Turn ignition STOP/OFF/LOCK.
12. Turn ignition MAR/ACC/ON/RUN. (Entire sequence needs to be
completed within one minute or sequence will need to be repeated).
System is now reset and the engine may be started.

WARNING!
Modifications to any part of the air bag
system could cause it to fail when you
need it. You could be injured if the air
bag system is not there to protect you.
Do not modify the components or wiring,
including adding any kind of badges or
stickers to the steering wheel hub trim
cover or the upper passenger side of the
instrument panel. Do not modify the
front bumper, vehicle body structure, or
add aftermarket side steps or running
boards.
It is dangerous to try to repair any part of
the air bag system yourself. Be sure to
tell anyone who works on your vehicle
that it has an air bag system.

Do not attempt to modify any part of your
air bag system. The air bag may inflate
accidentally or may not function properly if
modifications are made. Take your vehicle
to an authorized dealer for any air bag
system service. If your seat, including your
trim cover and cushion, needs to be
serviced in any way (including removal or
loosening/tightening of seat attachment
bolts), take the vehicle to an authorized
dealer. Only manufacturer approved seat
accessories may be used. If it is necessary
to modify the air bag system for persons
with disabilities, contact an authorized
dealer.

Periodic Safety Checks You Should Make
Outside The Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and
uneven wear patterns. Check for stones,
nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the
tread or sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts
and cracks. Inspect sidewalls for cuts,
cracks, and bulges. Check the wheel nuts for
tightness. Check the tires (including spare)
for proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of
brake lights and exterior lights while you
work the controls. Check turn signal and high
beam indicator lights on the instrument
panel.
Door Latches
Check for proper closing, latching, and
locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under the vehicle after overnight
parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid
leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or
if fuel, or brake fluid leaks are suspected, the
cause should be located and corrected
immediately.
NEVER place any objects under the floor
mat (e.g., towels, keys, etc.). These
objects could change the position of the
floor mat and may cause interference
with the accelerator, brake, or clutch
pedals.
If the vehicle carpet has been removed
and re-installed, always properly attach
carpet to the floor and check the floor
mat fasteners are secure to the vehicle
carpet. Fully depress each pedal to
check for interference with the acceler-
ator, brake, or clutch pedals then
re-install the floor mats.
It is recommended to only use mild soap
and water to clean your floor mats. After
cleaning, always check your floor mat
has been properly installed and is
secured to your vehicle using the floor
mat fasteners by lightly pulling mat.

PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
intended to assist the driver during Parallel,
Perpendicular, and Parallel Park Exit maneu-
vers by identifying a proper parking space,
providing audible/visual instructions, and
controlling the steering wheel. The Park -
Sense Active Park Assist system is defined
as “semi-automatic” since the driver main -
tains control of the accelerator, gear selector and brakes. Depending on the driver's
parking maneuver selection, the ParkSense
Active Park Assist system is capable of
maneuvering a vehicle into a parallel or a
perpendicular parking space on either side
(i.e., driver side or passenger side), as well as
exiting a parallel parking space.
NOTE:
The driver is always responsible for
controlling the vehicle, responsible for any
surrounding objects, and must intervene
as required.
The system is provided to assist the driver
and not to substitute the driver.
During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the
driver touches the steering wheel after
being instructed to remove their hands
from the steering wheel, the system will
cancel, and the driver will be required to
manually complete the parking maneuver.
The system may not work in all conditions
(e.g. environmental conditions such as
heavy rain, snow, etc., or if searching for a
parking space that has surfaces that will
absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
New vehicles from the dealer must have at
least 30 miles (48 km) accumulated
before the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system is fully calibrated and performs
accurately. This is due to the system’s
dynamic vehicle calibration to improve the
performance of the feature. The system
will also continuously perform the
dynamic vehicle calibration to account for
differences such as over or under inflated
tires and new tires.
Enabling And Disabling The ParkSense
Active Park Assist System
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system can
be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense
Active Park Assist switch, located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect display.
To enable the ParkSense Active Park
Assist system, push the ParkSense
Active Park Assist switch once (LED
turns on).
To disable the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, push the ParkSense Active Park
Assist switch again (LED turns off).
CAUTION!
ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle,
including small obstacles. Parking curbs
might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above
or below the sensors will not be detected
when they are in close proximity.
The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using ParkSense in order to be able to
stop in time when an obstacle is
detected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using ParkSense.
