ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
ABS (Anti-lock Braking
System)
This system, which is an integral part of
the braking system, prevents one or
more wheels from locking and slipping
in all road surface conditions,
irrespective of the intensity of the
braking action, ensuring that the vehicle
can be controlled even during
emergency braking and optimising
stopping distances.
System intervention
The driver can feel that the ABS system
has come into action because the
brake pedal pulsates slightly and the
system gets noisier: this is entirely
normal with the system operating.
31) 32) 33) 34) 35) 36) 37)
DTC (Drag Torque
Control) SYSTEM
The system intervenes in the event of
sudden downshifting, or during ABS
braking, restoring torque to the engine
and thus preventing excessive drag
at the drive wheels, which may lead the
wheels to lock and a loss of vehicle
stability, above all in low-grip
conditions.
ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) SYSTEM
The ESC system improves the
directional control and stability of the
vehicle in various driving conditions,
correcting understeer and oversteer,
distributing the brake force on the
appropriate wheels.
System intervention
The intervention of the system is
indicated by the flashing of the
warning light on the instrument
panel, to inform the driver that
the vehicle is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
38) 39) 40) 41) 42)
TC (Traction Control)
SYSTEM
The system automatically operates in
the event of slipping, loss of grip on wet
roads (aquaplaning) and acceleration
on slippery, snowy or icy roads, etc. on
one or both drive wheels.
System intervention
The intervention of the system is
indicated by the flashing of the
warning light on the instrument
panel, to inform the driver that
the vehicle is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
43) 44) 45) 46) 47)
PBA (Panic Brake
Assist) SYSTEM
The PBA system is designed to
improve the vehicle’s braking capacity
during emergency braking.
The brake pedal should be pressed
continuously during braking, avoiding
intermittent presses, to get the most
out of the system. Do not reduce
pressure on the brake pedal until
braking is not necessary anymore.
The PBA system is deactivated when
the brake pedal is released.
48) 49) 50)
HSA (Hill Start Assist)
SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the
ESC system and facilitates starting on
slopes.
System deactivation
The Hill Start Assist system can be
deactivated using the display Menu
(see the instructions in the "Display"
paragraph, "Knowing the instrument
panel" chapter).

SAFETY

"Blind spot alert", "Visual" mode:
when this mode is active, the BSM
system sends a visual warning to the
relevant door mirror, according to
the detected object. When operating in
RCP mode, the system sends visual
and acoustic warnings when the
presence of an approaching object is
detected. When an acoustic warning is
sent, theUconnect™volume is
lowered.
"Blind spot alert", "Visual &
acoustic" mode: when this mode is
active, the BSM system sends a visual
warning to the relevant door mirror,
according to the detected object. If the
direction indicator on the side where
an obstacle has been detected is
activated, an acoustic warning is
emitted as well. When the acoustic
warning is emitted, theUconnect™
volume is lowered.
"Blind spot alert" function
deactivation: when the system is
deactivated ("Blind spot alert" mode at
"OFF"), the BSM or RCP systems will
not emit neither acoustic nor visual
warnings. The BSM system will store
the operating mode running when
the engine was switched off: each time
the engine is started, the operating
mode stored previously will be recalled
and used.FORWARD COLLISION
WARNING PLUS SYSTEM
64) 65) 66) 67)
23) 24) 25) 26) 27) 28) 29) 30) 31)
It comprises a radar located behind the
front bumper fig. 57 and a camera
located in the central part of the
windscreen fig. 58.
In the event of an imminent collision the
system intervenes by automatically
braking the vehicle to prevent the crash
or reduce its effects.The system may lightly brake to warn
the driver if a possible frontal accident
is detected. Signals and limited braking
are intended to allow the driver to
react promptly, in order to prevent or
reduce the effects of a potential
accident.
Versions equipped with Stop/Start
system: at the end of the automatic
braking, the Stop/Start system will
activate as described in paragraph
"Stop/Start system" of this chapter.
Versions equipped with manual
gearbox: at the end of the automatic
braking the engine may stall and turn
off, unless the clutch pedal is pressed.
Versions equipped with automatic
transmission: at the end of the
braking, the latest stored gear
is engaged: the vehicle may restart after
a few seconds from the automatic
stop.
IMPORTANT After the vehicle is
stopped, the brake calipers may be
locked for about 2 seconds for safety
reasons. Make sure you press the
brake pedal if the vehicle moves slightly
forwards.

Activation/deactivation
The Forward Collision Warning Plus
system can be deactivated (and then
reactivated) via theUconnect™
system. The system can also
be deactivated bringing the ignition
device to MAR.
IMPORTANT The system status can be
changed with vehicle at a standstill
only.
Activation/deactivation
If the Forward Collision Warning Plus
system has been correctly activated
with theUconnect™system, this will
be active each time the engine is
started.
To deactivate the system, hold the
button on the central tunnel pressed.
Following a deactivation, the system
will not warn the driver about the
possible collision with the preceding
vehicle, regardless of the setting
selected with theUconnect™system.
To reactivate the system press the
button again.
The system only works if:
❒it is activated via theUconnect™
system;
❒it has not been deactivated with a
long press of the
button;
❒the ignition device is at MAR;❒the vehicle speed is between 7 and
200 km/h;
❒the front seat belts are fastened.
System limited operation
signal
If the dedicated message is displayed,
a condition limiting the system
operation may have occurred. The
possible reasons of this limitation are
something blocking the camera view or
a fault. If an obstruction is signalled,
clean the area of the windscreen
indicated in fig. 58 and check that the
message has disappeared.
In this case the system might be not
completely available.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to a
normal and complete operation. Should
the fault persist, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
Driving in special conditions
In certain driving conditions, such as,
for example:
❒driving close to a bend (see fig. 59);
❒vehicles with small dimensions
and/or not aligned in the driving lane
(see fig. 60);
❒lane change by other vehicles (see
fig. 61);
❒vehicle driving in a transverse way
(see fig. 62);system intervention might be
unexpected or delayed. The driver must
be very careful, keeping control of the
vehicle to drive in complete safety.

SAFETY

OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
The most important safety equipment
of the vehicle comprise the following
protection systems:
❒seat belts;
❒SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
❒head restraints;
❒child restraint systems;
❒front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see paragraph "Head
restraints" in chapter "Knowing your
vehicle".
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to
the use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the torso straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 63 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.
On removal, if the belt jams, let it rewind
for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C and guide the seat belt with your
hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it
from twisting.
75) 76)The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
retractor mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event of
sudden braking, collisions or
high-speed bends.
Wear the rear seat belts as shown in
fig. 64.
IMPORTANT When returning the rear
seat from the tilted position to the
normal operating position, take care to
refit the seat belt correctly, in order to
guarantee prompt availability every
time.

BELT HEIGHT
77) 78)Five different adjustments in height are
possible.
To carry out height adjustment, from
the top to the bottom, press button A
(located on both sides of handle B), and
slide the handle downwards.
The height adjuster moves upwards
even without pressing the two buttons
A.
Always adjust the height of the seat
belts to fit the person wearing it: this
precaution could greatly reduce the risk
of injury in the event of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
WARNING
75)Do not press button C fig. 63while
travelling.
76)Remember that, in the event of a
violent collision, back-seat passengers not
wearing seat belts represent a serious
danger to the front-seat passengers as well
as to themselves.
77)The height of the seat belts must be
adjusted with the vehicle stationary.
78)After the adjustment, always check that
the cursor to which the ring is fastened is
locked in one of the preset positions. To do
this, with button A fig. 65released, exert
a further pressure to allow the locking
device to click if the grip has not
been released in one of the possible
positions.
SBR (Seat Belt
Reminder) SYSTEM
The SBR system warns the passengers
of the front and rear (where provided)
seats if their seat belt is not fastened.
The system signals unfastened seat
belts with visual warnings (warning
lights on in the instrument panel and
icons on the display) and an acoustic
signal (see the following paragraphs).
NOTE To deactivate the acoustic
warning permanently go to a Jeep
Dealership. The acoustic warning can
be reactivated at any time through
the display Menu (see the "Display"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter).
Operation of front seat belt
warning light
When the ignition device is turned to
MAR, warning light
(see fig. 66) lights
up for a few seconds, regardless of
the status of the front belts.
With vehicle at a standstill, if the driver
side seat belt or the passenger side
seat belt (with occupant seated) is
unfastened, the warning light stays on
constantly.65J0A0151C

111)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
WARNING
34)In the first period of use, i.e. in the first
1,600 km (1,000 miles), we recommend
not to demand maximum performance
from the vehicle (for instance excessive
accelerations, extended travel at maximum
speed, sudden braking, etc.).
35)With the engine off, do not leave the
ignition device at MAR to prevent the
battery from draining.
36)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely
no practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
37)Warning light
will flash after
starting or during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault with the glow plug heating
system. If the engine starts, the vehicle can
be regularly used, but a Jeep Dealership
must be contacted as soon as possible.
