Waterproof Features
The Jeep® wireless speaker is IP67 waterproof
certified with design in mind to withstand rainfall,
waterjets, splashing and being submerged in up to
3 ft (1 m) of water for up to 30 minutes.
Warnings, Caution & Legal Information
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose the Jeep® wireless speaker to rain or
moisture while charging. The Jeep® wireless
speaker should not be exposed to dripping or
splashing, and objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, should not be placed on or near it while
being charged or charging other devices. As with
any electronic products, use care not to spill liquids
into any part of the product. Liquids can cause a
failure and/or a fire hazard. The power supply must
be used indoors only. Make no modifications to the
product or accessories. Unauthorized alterations
may compromise safety, regulatory compliance,
and system performance, and will void the
warranty. Do not place any flame sources, such as
lighted candles, on or near the Jeep® wireless speaker. The Jeep® wireless speaker contains
small parts that may be a choking hazard and is
not suitable for children under age 3. Do not
continue charging the battery if it does not reach
full charge within the specified charging time.
Overcharging may cause the battery to become
hot, rupture, or ignite. If you see any heat
deformation or leakage, properly dispose of the
battery. Do not attempt to charge the battery in
temperatures outside the range of 32°- 104°F
(0° - 40°C). If the battery begins to leak, do not
allow the liquid to come in contact with your skin or
eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected
area with plenty of water and seek medical
attention immediately. Do not expose the Jeep®
wireless speaker or battery to excessive heat,
including direct sunlight or fire. Do not store or use
inside cars in hot weather, where it can be exposed
to temperatures in excess of 115°F (60°C). Doing
so may cause the battery and power supply to
generate heat, rupture, or ignite. Using the Jeep®
wireless speaker in this manner also may result in
a loss of performance and a shortened life
expectancy. Extended exposure to direct sunlight
may damage the external appearance and
material qualities. Do not step on, throw, or drop
batteries or the power supply or device, or expose
them to a strong shock. Do not pierce, crush, dent,
or deform the batteries or power supply in any way.
If either becomes deformed, properly dispose of it.
Do not short-circuit batteries. Do not attempt to service the Jeep® wireless speaker yourself.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltages or other hazards and will void
the manufacturer’s warranty. To prevent risk of fire
or electric shock, avoid overloading wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles. Your Bluetooth® device (mobile
phone, music player, tablet, laptop, etc.) must
support the A2DP Bluetooth® profile in order to
work wirelessly with your Jeep® wireless speaker.
The A2DP profile is supported by most recent
mobile products with built-in Bluetooth®
capability. Please refer to your device’s user
manual for details and instruction regarding the
Bluetooth® profiles it supports. This device
complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Jeep® follows Safety Instruction for CE- LV. Do not
operate products in temperatures outside the
range of -5 to 40°C. Operating Frequency Band:
2402 MHz to 2480 MHz. Maximum RF power:
6 dBm EIRP. Do not install this equipment in a
confined space or building, such as a bookcase or
similar unit that is not well-ventilated. The
ventilation should not be impeded by covering the
ventilation openings with items such as
newspaper, tablecloths, curtains etc.

FUEL SYSTEM MESSAGES
The following chart contains a list of different messages that may appear in the instrument cluster, depending on different system or fuel conditions. Use the
descriptions to interpret what the message means and determine the best action to take.
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
Diesel Emissions Additive AdBlue® (UREA) Warning Messages:
Low Diesel Emissions Additive AdBlue® (UREA) Level
Warning The first low level warning will be given at around a 1,490 miles (2,400 km) range, and is
determined according to the current consumption rate. The “UREA Low Level” warning light
and message will display on the instrument panel. The UREA low level warning light will
remain lit until the AdBlue® (UREA) tank is topped up with at least 1.32 gallons (5 Liters) of
UREA.
If the level is not resolved, an additional warning appears whenever a certain threshold is
reached until it will no longer be possible to start the engine.
When 125 miles (200 km) are remaining before the AdBlue® (UREA) tank is empty, a
message will appear on the instrument panel, accompanied by a buzzer sound. When the
range is at 0, the display will show a dedicated message (if equipped). In this case, the
engine will not restart.

It will be possible to restart the engine again as soon as AdBlue® (UREA) is added; the
minimum amount required is 1.32 gallons (5 Liters). Fill the AdBlue® (UREA) tank as soon as
possible with at least 1.32 gallons (5 Liters) of UREA. If filling is completed with autonomy tank
AdBlue® (UREA) to zero, it could be possible to wait 2 minutes before starting the vehicle.

NOTE:When the AdBlue® (UREA) tank is empty, and the vehicle is stopped, it is no longer possible
to restart the vehicle until a minimum of 1.32 gallons (5 Liters) of AdBlue® (UREA) is added
to the AdBlue® (UREA) tank.
