air condition JEEP PATRIOT 2021 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

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.

room for the child seat. You may also move
the front seat forward to allow more room for
the child seat.
2. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from
the retractor to pass it through the belt path
of the child restraint. Do not twist the belt
webbing in the belt path.
3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you
hear a “click.”
4. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion
tight against the child seat.
5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the
shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled
all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor.
Then, allow the webbing to retract back into
the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you
will hear a clicking sound. This means the
seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking
mode.6. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If
it is locked, you should not be able to pull out
any webbing. If the retractor is not locked,
repeat step 5.
7.
Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to
tighten the lap portion around the child re-
straint while you push the child restraint rear-
ward and downward into the vehicle seat.
8. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly
by pulling back and forth on the child seat at
the belt path. It should not move more than
25 mm in any direction.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.
Transporting PetsAir Bags deploying in the front seat could harm
your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thrown
about and possibly injured, or injure a passen-
ger during panic braking or in a collision.
Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet
harnesses or pet carriers that are secured by
seat belts.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in
your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are
desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration
within the limits of local traffic laws contributes
to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle accelera-
tion in low gear can be detrimental and should
be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the
factory is a high-quality energy conserving type
lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with
anticipated climate conditions under which ve-
hicle operations will occur. For the recom-
mended viscosity and quality grades, refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle.”
57

plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas
for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or misposi-
tioned parts. Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
passenger compartment. In addition, inspect
the exhaust system each time the vehicle is
raised for lubrication or oil change. Replace as
required.
Safety Checks You Should Make
Inside The Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the seat belt system periodically, check-
ing for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged
parts must be replaced immediately. Do not
disassemble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision. Rear seat belt assemblies must
be replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regarding seat belt
or retractor condition, replace the seat belt.
Air Bag Warning Light
The Air Bag warning light
will turn on for four
to eight seconds as a bulb check when theignition is first placed in the ON/RUN position. If
the light is either not on during starting, stays
on, or turns on while driving, have the system
inspected at an authorized dealer as soon as
possible. This light will illuminate with a single
chime when a fault with the Air Bag Warning
Light has been detected, it will stay on until the
fault is cleared. If the light comes on intermit-
tently or remains on while driving, have an
authorized dealer service the vehicle immedi-
ately. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” for further
information.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the defrost mode
and place the blower control on high speed. You
should be able to feel the air directed against
the windshield. See your authorized dealer for
service if your defroster is inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit the foot-
well of your vehicle. Use only floor mats that
leave the pedal area unobstructed and that are
firmly secured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals or impair
safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can cause
loss of vehicle control and increase the risk
of serious personal injury.
•Always make sure that floor mats are
properly attached to the floor mat fasten-
ers.
•Never place or install floor mats or other
floor coverings in the vehicle that cannot
be properly secured to prevent them from
moving and interfering with the pedals or
the ability to control the vehicle.
•Never put floor mats or other floor cover-
ings on top of already installed floor mats.
Additional floor mats and other coverings
will reduce the size of the pedal area and
interfere with the pedals.
•Check mounting of mats on a regular
basis. Always properly reinstall and secure
floor mats that have been removed for
cleaning.

3. Temperature Gauge
•The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading within
the normal range indicates that the engine
cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
•The gauge pointer will likely indicate a
higher temperature when driving in hot
weather or up mountain grades. It shouldnot be allowed to exceed the upper limits
of the normal operating range.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system
could damage your vehicle. If the tempera-
ture gauge reads “H” pull over and stop the
vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air condi-
tioner turned off until the pointer drops back
into the normal range. If the pointer remains
on the “H”, turn the engine off immediately
and call an authorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous.
You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant. You may want to
call an authorized dealer for service if your

Brake Warning Light
Red Telltale Light What It Means
Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake light turns
on it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the
anti-lock brake system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master
cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has
been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will
remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will run
when applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A
leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake
fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level conditions. The vehicle
should have service performed, and the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is necessary.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator Light
Yellow Telltale Light What It Means
Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator Light
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tire pressure is lower than the recom-
mended 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 in sequence.
IMPORTANT:Do not continue driving with one
or more flat tires as handling may be compro-
mised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking
and steering. Repair immediately using the
dedicated tire repair kit and contact your autho-
rized dealership as soon as possible.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
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 Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. 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.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’sresponsibility 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 approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated. 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
