seats JEEP PATRIOT 2019 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING!
•All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s
seat until the head restraints are placed in
their proper positions in order to minimize
the risk of neck injury in the event of a
collision.
•
Do not place items over the top of the Active
Head Restraint, such as coats, seat covers
or portable DVD players. These items may
interfere with the operation of the Active
Head Restraint in the event of a collision and
could result in serious injury or death.
•Active Head Restraints may be deployed if
they are struck by an object such as a hand,
foot or loose cargo. To avoid accidental
deployment of the Active Head Restraint
ensure that all cargo is secured, as loose
cargo could contact the Active Head Re-
straint during sudden stops. Failure to follow
this warning could cause personal injury if
the Active Head Restraint is deployed.
Rear Head Restraints
The head restraints in the rear are non adjust-
able. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things
To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for infor-
mation on Tether routing.
Folding Rear SeatTo provide additional storage area, each rear
seatback can be folded forward. Pull the strap
forward to fold the rear seatback flat.
NOTE:
You may experience deformation in the seat
cushion from the seat belt buckles if the
seats are left folded for an extended period
of time. This is normal and by simply open-
ing the seats to the open position, over time
the seat cushion will return to its normal
shape.
To raise the seatback, pull the strap forward and
lift the seatback into its upright position.

WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely
locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will not
provide the proper stability for child seats
and/or passengers. An improperly latched
seat could cause serious injury.
Reclining Rear Seat — If EquippedFor additional comfort, pull the strap forward
just enough to release the seatback latch. Then
push the seatback to a reclined position, ap-
proximately 35 degrees maximum, and release
the strap.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that
the shoulder belt is no longer resting against
your chest. In a collision you could slide
under the seat belt and be seriously or even
fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the
vehicle is parked.
TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE
HOOD
To open the hood, two latches must be re-
leased.
1. Pull the hood release lever located on the
left kick panel.
2. Move the safety catch located under the
front edge of the hood, near the center and
raise the hood.Lift the hood prop rod, clipped to the right side
(left side facing hood) of the engine compart-
ment, to secure the hood in the open position.
Place the hood prop at the location stamped
into the inner hood surface.

WARNING!(Continued)
•The weight and position of cargo and
passengers can change the vehicle center
of gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid
loss of control resulting in personal injury,
follow these guidelines for loading your
vehicle:
•Always place cargo evenly on the cargo
floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far
forward as possible.
•Place as much cargo as possible in front of
the rear axle. Too much weight or improp-
erly placed weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to
sway.
•Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than
the top of the seatback. This could impair
visibility or become a dangerous projectile
in a sudden stop or collision.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•To help protect against personal injury,
passengers should not be seated in the
rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is
intended for load carrying purposes only,
not for passengers, who should sit in seats
and use seat belts.
Fold Down Speakers — If EquippedWhen the liftgate is open, the speakers can
swing down off the trim panel to face rearward,
for tailgating and other activities.

paired as soon as possible. The cost of such
repairs is considered the responsibility of the
owner.
•If you carry special cargo such as chemicals,
fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such
materials are well packaged and sealed.
•If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads,
consider mud or stone shields behind each
wheel.
•Use MOPAR Touch Up Paint on scratches as
soon as possible. Your authorized dealer has
touch up paint to match the color of your
vehicle.
Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
•All wheels and wheel trim, especially alumi-
num and chrome plated wheels, should be
cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water
to prevent corrosion.
•To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake
dust, use MOPAR Wheel Cleaner.NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Dark Vapor
or Black Satin Chrome wheels DO NOT USE
wheel cleaners, abrasives or polishing com-
pounds. They will permanently damage this
finish and such damage is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. USE
ONLY MILD SOAP AND WATER WITH A
SOFT CLOTH. Used on a regular basis this is
all that is required to maintain this finish.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a
bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use
oven cleaner. These products may damage
the wheel’s protective finish. Avoid automatic
car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh
brushes that may damage the wheel’s pro-
tective finish. Only MOPAR Wheel Cleaner
or equivalent is recommended.Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning Procedure —
If Equipped
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in the follow-
ing manner:
•Remove as much of the stain as possible by
blotting with a clean, dry towel.
•Blot any remaining stain with a clean, damp
towel.
•For tough stains, apply MOPAR Total Clean,
or a mild soap solution to a clean, damp cloth
and remove stain. Use a fresh, damp towel to
remove soap residue.
•For grease stains, apply MOPAR Multi-
Purpose Cleaner to a clean, damp cloth and
remove stain. Use a fresh, damp towel to
remove soap residue.
•Do not use any harsh solvents or any other
form of protectants on Stain Repel products.
Interior Care
Use MOPAR Total Clean to clean fabric uphol-
stery and carpeting.
272

Use MOPAR Total Clean to clean vinyl uphol-
stery.
MOPAR Total Clean is specifically recom-
mended for leather upholstery.
Your leather upholstery can be best preserved
by regular cleaning with a damp soft cloth.
Small particles of dirt can act as an abrasive
and damage the leather upholstery and should
be removed promptly with a damp cloth. Stub-
born soils can be removed easily with a soft
cloth and MOPAR Total Clean. Care should be
taken to avoid soaking your leather upholstery
with any liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or
ammonia-based cleaners to clean your leather
upholstery. Application of a leather conditioner
is not required to maintain the original condition.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flammable,
and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.
CAUTION!
Direct contact of air fresheners, insect repel-
lents, suntan lotions, or hand sanitizers to
the plastic, painted, or decorated surfaces of
the interior may cause permanent damage.
Wipe away immediately.
CAUTION!
Damage caused by these type of products
may not be covered by your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not use Alcohol and Alcohol-based and/or
Keton based cleaning products to clean
leather seats, as damage to the seat may
result.Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that are
lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage
than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and
therefore different lens cleaning procedures
must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the
lenses and reducing light output, avoid wiping
with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, sol-
vents, steel wool or other aggressive material to
clean the lenses.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a
regular basis with MOPAR Glass Cleaner, or
any commercial household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner. Use cau-
tion when cleaning the inside rear window
equipped with electric defrosters or windows
equipped with radio antennas. Do not use
scrapers or other sharp instrument that may
scratch the elements.
