ESP JEEP PATRIOT 2020 Owner handbook (in English)

In view of the many replacement parts and
accessories from various manufacturers avail-
able on the market, the manufacturer cannot be
certain that the driving safety of your vehicle will
not be impaired by the attachment or installation
of such parts. Even if such parts are officially-
approved (for example, by a general operating
permit for the part or by constructing the part in
an officially approved design), or if an individual
operating permit was issued for the vehicle after
the attachment or installation of such parts, it
cannot be implicitly assumed that the driving
safety of your vehicle is unimpaired. Therefore,
neither experts nor official agencies are liable.
The manufacturer only assumes responsibility
when parts, which are expressly authorized or
recommended by the manufacturer, are at-
tached or installed at an authorized dealer. Thesame applies when modifications to the original
condition are subsequently made on the manu-
facturer’s vehicles.
Your warranties do not cover any part that the
manufacturer did not supply. Nor do they cover
the cost of any repairs or adjustments that might
be caused or needed because of the installation
or use of non-manufacturer parts, components,
equipment, materials, or additives. Nor do your
warranties cover the costs of repairing damage
or conditions caused by any changes to your
vehicle that do not comply with the manufactur-
ers specifications.
Original MOPAR® parts and accessories and
other products approved by the manufacturer,
including qualified advice, are available at your
authorized dealer.HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

including children, who are up against or very
close to Side Air Bags can be seriously injured
or killed. Occupants, including children, should
never lean on or sleep against the door, side
windows, or area where the Side Air Bags
inflate, even if they are in an infant or child
restraint.
Seat belts (and child restraints where appropri-
ate) are necessary for your protection in all
collisions. They also help keep you in position,
away from inflating Side Air Bags. To get the
best protection from the Side Air Bags, occu-
pants must wear their seat belts properly and sit
upright with their backs against the seats. Chil-
dren must be properly restrained in a child
restraint or booster seat that is appropriate for
the size of the child.
WARNING!
•Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not
lean against the door or window. Sit up-
right in the center of the seat.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•Being too close to the Side Air Bags during
deployment could cause you to be se-
verely injured or killed.
•Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could
lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The Side Air Bags work with your seat belt
to restrain you properly. In some collisions,
Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all. Always
wear your seat belt even though you have
Side Air Bags.
NOTE:
Air bag covers may not be obvious in the
interior trim, but they will open during air
bag deployment.
Side Impacts
In side impacts, the side impact sensors aid the
ORC in determining the appropriate response
to impact events. The system is calibrated to
deploy the Side Air Bags on the impact side of
the vehicle during impacts that require Side Air
Bag occupant protection. In side impacts, theSide Air Bags deploy independently; a left side
impact deploys the left Side Air Bags only and a
right side impact deploys the right Side Air Bags
only.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all side
collisions, including some collisions at certain
angles, or some side collisions that do not
impact the area of the passenger compartment.
The Side Air Bags may deploy during angled or
offset frontal collisions where the Advanced
Front Air Bags deploy.
Rollover Events
Side Air Bags are designed to activate in certain
rollover events. The ORC determines whether
the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a par-
ticular rollover event is appropriate, based on
the severity and type of collision. Vehicle dam-
age by itself is not a good indicator of whether or
not Side Air Bags should have deployed.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all rollover
events. The rollover sensing-system deter-
mines if a rollover event may be in progress and
whether deployment is appropriate. A slower-
developing event may deploy the seat belt
pretensioners on both sides of the vehicle. A
42

faster-developing event may deploy the seat
belt pretensioners as well as the Side Air Bags
on both sides of the vehicle. The rollover
sensing-system may also deploy the seat belt
pretensioners, with or without the Side Air Bags,
on both sides of the vehicle if the vehicle
experiences a near rollover event.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to
deflate immediately after deployment.
NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in
all collisions. This does not mean some-
thing is wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which deploys the air
bags, any or all of the following may occur:
•The air bag material may sometimes cause
abrasions and/or skin reddening to the occu-
pants as the air bags deploy and unfold. The
abrasions are similar to friction rope burns or
those you might get sliding along a carpet or
gymnasium floor. They are not caused by
contact with chemicals. They are not perma-
nent and normally heal quickly. However, ifyou haven’t healed significantly within a few
days, or if you have any blistering, see your
doctor immediately.
•As the air bags deflate, you may see some
smoke-like particles. The particles are a nor-
mal by-product of the process that generates
the non-toxic gas used for air bag inflation.
These airborne particles may irritate the skin,
eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye
irritation, rinse the area with cool water. For
nose or throat irritation, move to fresh air. If
the irritation continues, see your doctor. If
these particles settle on your clothing, follow
the garment manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have
deployed. If you are involved in another colli-
sion, the air bags will not be in place to protect
you.
WARNING!
Deployed air bags and seat belt pretension-
ers cannot protect you in another collision.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Have the air bags, seat belt pretensioners,
and the seat belt retractor assemblies re-
placed by an authorized dealer immediately.
Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller
System serviced as well.
NOTE:
•Air bag covers may not be obvious in the
interior trim, but they will open during air
bag deployment.
•
After any collision, the vehicle should be
taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication
network remains intact, and the power remains
intact, depending on the nature of the event, the
ORC will determine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System perform the
following functions:
•Cut off fuel to the engine.
43

•Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has
power or until the hazard light button is
pressed. The hazard lights can be deacti-
vated by pressing the hazard light button.
•Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as
long as the battery has power.
•Unlock the power door locks.
Enhanced Accident Response System
Reset Procedure
In order to reset the Enhanced Accident Re-
sponse System functions after an event, the
ignition must be changed from the START or
ON/RUN position to the OFF position. Carefully
check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine
compartment and on the ground near the en-
gine compartment and fuel tank before resetting
the system and starting the engine.
Air Bag Warning Light
The air bags must be ready to
inflate for your protection in a colli-
sion. The Occupant Restraint Con-
troller (ORC) monitors the internal
circuits and interconnecting wiring
associated with air bag system electrical com-
ponents.The ORC monitors the readiness of the elec-
tronic parts of the air bag system whenever the
ignition is placed in the START or ON/RUN
position. If the ignition is in the OFF position or
in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on
and the air bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power supply
system that may deploy the air bags even if the
battery loses power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in
the instrument panel for approximately four to
eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition
is first placed in the ON/RUN position. After the
self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn
off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part
of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning
Light, either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound to alert you if the light
comes on again after initial startup.
The ORC also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument panel Air Bag Warning
Light if a malfunction is detected that could
affect the air bag system. The diagnostics also
record the nature of the malfunction. While theair bag system is designed to be maintenance
free, if any of the following occurs, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag system
immediately.
•The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on
during the four to eight seconds when the
ignition is first placed in the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
•The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after
the four to eight-second interval.
•The Air Bag Warning Light comes on inter-
mittently or remains on while driving.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any en-
gine related gauges are not working, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may
also be disabled. In this condition the air
bags may not be ready to inflate for your
protection. Have an authorized dealer ser-
vice the air bag system immediately.

child’s head and does not induce stress on the
neck in the event of sudden decelerations or a
crash.
The rear-facing child restraint is restrained by
the vehicle’s seat belts, as shown in fig. A. The
child seat restrains the child with its own har-
ness.
WARNING!
•Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag can cause death
or serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing
child restraint.
•Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.Group 1
Children who weigh between 9 kg and 18 kg
may be carried in a Group 1, forward facing seat
like the one in fig. B. This type of child restraint
is for older children who are too big for a Group
0 or 0+ child restraint.Group 2
Children who weigh between 15 kg and 25 kg
and who are too big for the Group 1 child
restraint may use a Group 2 child restraint
system.
As shown in fig. C, the Group 2 child restraint
system positions the child correctly with respect
to the seat belt so that the shoulder belt crosses
the child’s chest and not the neck, and the lap
belt is snug on the pelvis and not the abdomen.

You will be asked to say a four-digit Personal
Identification Number (PIN), which you will later
need to enter into your mobile phone. You can
enter any four-digit PIN. You will not need to
remember this PIN after the initial pairing pro-
cess.
For identification purposes, you will be
prompted to give the Uconnect Phone a name
for your mobile phone. Each mobile phone that
is paired should be given a unique phone name.
You will then be asked to give your mobile
phone a priority level between one and seven,
with one being the highest priority. You can pair
up to seven mobile phones to your Uconnect
Phone. However, at any given time, only one
mobile phone can be in use, connected to your
Uconnect System. The priority allows the
Uconnect Phone to know which mobile phone
to use if multiple mobile phones are in the
vehicle at the same time. For example, if priority
three and priority five phones are present in the
vehicle, the Uconnect Phone will use the priority
three mobile phone when you make a call. You
can select to use a lower priority mobile phone
at any time (refer to “Advanced Phone Connec-
tivity” in this section).Dial By Saying A Number
•Push the Phone
button to begin.
•After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Dial.”
•The system will prompt you to say the num-
ber you want to call.
•For example, you can say “151-1234-5555.”
•The Uconnect Phone will confirm the phone
number and then dial. The number will ap-
pear in the display of certain radios.
Call By Saying A Name
•Push the Phone
button to begin.
•After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Call.”
•The system will prompt you to say the name
of the person you want to call.
•After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say the name of the person you want
to call. For example, you can say “John Doe,”
where John Doe is a previously stored name
entry in the Uconnect phonebook or down-
loaded phonebook. To learn how to store aname in the phonebook, refer to “Add Names
to Your Uconnect Phonebook.”
•The Uconnect system will confirm the name
and then dial the corresponding phone num-
ber, which may appear in the display of
certain radios.
Phonebook Download — Automatic
Phonebook Transfer From Mobile Phone
If equipped and specifically supported by your
phone, Uconnect Phone automatically down-
loads names (text names) and number entries
from your mobile phone’s phonebook. Specific
Bluetooth Phones with Phone Book Access
Profile may support this feature. See Uconnect
website for supported phones.
•To call a name from the Uconnect Phone-
book or downloaded Phonebook, follow the
procedure in “Call by Saying a Name” sec-
tion.
•Automatic download and update, if sup-
ported, begins as soon as the Bluetooth
wireless phone connection is made to the
Uconnect Phone, for example, after you start
the vehicle.

tomer service line. Some services require im-
mediate response selection. In some instances,
that may be too quick for use of the Uconnect
Phone.
When calling a number with your Uconnect
Phone that normally requires you to enter in a
touch-tone sequence on your mobile phone
keypad, you can push the Voice Command
button and say the sequence you wish to
enter, followed by the word “Send.” For ex-
ample, if required to enter your PIN followed
with a pound, (3746#),youcanpush the
Voice Command
button and say, “3746#
Send.” Saying a number, or sequence of num-
bers, followed by “Send,” is also to be used for
navigating through an automated customer ser-
vice center menu structure, and to leave a
number on a pager.
You can also send stored Uconnect phonebook
entries as tones for fast and easy access to
voice mail and pager entries. To use this fea-
ture, dial the number you wish to call and then
push the Voice Command
button and say
“Send.” The system will prompt you to enter the
name or number and say the name of the
phonebook entry you wish to send. TheUconnect Phone will then send the correspond-
ing phone number associated with the phone-
book entry, as tones over the phone.
NOTE:
•You may not hear all of the tones due to
mobile phone network configurations.
This is normal.
•Some paging and voice mail systems
have system time out settings that are too
short and may not allow the use of this
feature.
Barge In — Overriding Prompts
The “Voice Command” button can be used
when you wish to skip part of a prompt and
issue your voice command immediately. For
example, if a prompt is asking “Would you like to
pair a phone, clear a...,” you could push the
Voice Command
button and say, “Pair a
Phone” to select that option without having to
listen to the rest of the voice prompt.Turning Confirmation Prompts ON/OFF
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the
system from confirming your choices (e.g., the
Uconnect Phone will not repeat a phone num-
ber before you dial it).
1. Push the Phone
button to begin.
2. After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say one of the following:
•“Setup Confirmation Prompts On”
•“Setup Confirmation Prompts Off”
Phone And Network Status Indicators
If available on the radio and/or on a premium
display such as the instrument panel cluster,
and supported by your mobile phone, the
Uconnect Phone will provide notification to in-
form you of your phone and network status
when you are attempting to make a phone call
using Uconnect Phone. The status is given for
network signal strength, phone battery strength,
etc.

WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical condition must exercise care
when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially
if used for long periods of time.
•Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a
seat that has been overheated could
cause serious burns due to the increased
surface temperature of the seat.
Manual Front Seat AdjustmentOn models equipped with manual seats, the
adjusting bar is located at the front of the seats,
near the floor. While sitting in the seat, lift up on
the bar and move the seat forward or rearward.
Release the bar once you have reached thedesired position. Then, using body pressure,
move forward and rearward on the seat to be
sure that the seat adjusters have latched.
WARNING!
•Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause a collision and serious injury or
death.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•Seats should be adjusted before fastening
the seat belts and while the vehicle is
parked. Serious injury or death could result
from a poorly adjusted seat belt.
