IMPORTANT In the event of a
temporary failure it is anyway
recommended to contact a Jeep
Dealership as soon as possible.
IGNITION LOCK AND
PARK POSITION
Versions equipped with the Keyless
Enter-N-Go system: this function
requires the gear lever to be positioned
to P (Park) before bringing the ignition
device to position STOP.
Versions equipped with mechanical
key: this function requires the gear
lever to be positioned to P (Park) before
extracting the key from the ignition
device.
If the vehicle battery is flat and the
ignition key is engaged, the latter is
locked in position. To remove the key
manually see paragraph "Automatic
transmission lever unlock" in chapter "In
an emergency".
GEAR ENGAGEMENT
DISABLING SYSTEM
WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL
PRESSED
This system prevents you from moving
the gear lever from position P (Park) if
the brake pedal has not been previously
depressed.
To bring the gear lever to a position
other than P (Park), the ignition device
must be in position AVV (engine on
or off) and the brake pedal must be
depressed.
WARNING
116)Never use position P instead of the
electric parking brake. When the vehicle is
parked, always engage the electric parking
brake to prevent accidental movements
of the vehicle.
117)If position P is not engaged the
vehicle might move and hurt people.
Before leaving the vehicle make sure that
the gear lever is in position P and the
electric parking brake is engaged.
118)Do not position the gear lever to N,
nor switch off the engine to travel
downhills. This type of driving is dangerous
and reduces the possibility of intervening
in the case of variation of the road traffic or
surface. You risk to lose control of your
vehicle and cause accidents.119)Before moving the gear lever from
position P, bring the ignition device to
position MAR and press the brake pedal.
Otherwise the gear lever might be
damaged.
120)Engage the reverse gear only with
vehicle at a standstill, engine idling and
accelerator completely released.

neutral.
124)In the event of device faults or failures,
go to a Jeep Dealership.
125)The electronic Cruise Control can be
dangerous if the system cannot keep a
constant speed. In specific conditions
speed may be excessive, resulting in the
risk of losing control of the vehicle and
causing accidents. Do not use the device
in heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snowy or
slippery roads.

Installing the ball head tow
bar
Remove the plug from the mounting
pipe.
The ball head tow bar is usually in the
released position when taken out from
the luggage compartment. This can
be observed by the knob spaced from
the tow bar, corresponding to a slot
of approximately 5 mm (see fig. 101)
and by the red mark on the knob
directed to the green mark on the tow
bar. The tow bar can be installed only
when in these conditions.If the locking mechanism of the tow bar
is disengaged before the installation,
or at any other time, and is in the
locked position, it must be pre-loaded.
The locked position can be identified
by the green mark of the knob
coinciding with the green mark of the
tow bar and by the knob in the stop
position on the tow bar, namely without
slot (see figure).
The locking mechanism is pre-loaded
as follows:
❒with key inserted and lock open,
extract the knob following the direction
of arrow A fig. 101;
❒then follow the direction of arrow B,
until it stops.
The release ball is pre-loaded and the
locking mechanism remains in the
pre-loading position even when the
knob is released.
The release lever is engaged and the
locking mechanism remains in the
pre-loading position even when the
knob is released.
The tow bar must be inserted in the
housing pipe with the coupling pin for
the installation. Insert from the bottom
and push upwards: the mechanism
locks automatically.
IMPORTANT To prevent injury to limbs,
keep hands away from the knob when
locking.Close the lock and always remove the
key. The key cannot be removed when
the lock is released. Then fit the
protection cap on the lock.
Removing the tow bar
Proceed as follows:
❒remove the protection cap from the
lock and press it on the key grip. Open
the lock with the key;
❒grip the tow bar firmly, remove the
knob following the direction of arrow A
fig. 101, then rotate in the direction
of arrow B until it stops, in order to
release it in unlocked position. Then
remove the tow bar from the housing
pipe. The knob can then be released (it
will automatically stop in released
position);
❒arrange the tow bar in the luggage
compartment so that it cannot be
dirtied and/or damaged by other
transported objects;
❒finally, insert the dedicated plug in the
mounting pipe.
Important
Apply the plate in a highly visible point
of the vehicle, near the mounting pipe
or inside the luggage compartment.
119

To ensure correct operation of the
system, periodically remove all deposits
of dirt which may have accumulated
on the ball head bar and from the
mounting pipe. The lock must only be
treated with graphite.
Periodically lubricate the joints, the
sliding surfaces and the balls with
grease without resin or oil. Lubrication
is also a further corrosion protection.
if the vehicle is washed with high-
pressure jets, the ball head bar must be
removed and the dedicated plug fitted.
The ball head bar must never be
treated with high-pressure jets.
Two keys are supplied together with the
removable ball tow bar. Note down
the four-digit key number and keep it in
a safe place. This number is to be
used for ordering any duplicate keys
that may be required.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Jeep Dealership.
WARNING
128)The ABS with which the vehicle is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
therefore required on slippery surfaces.
129)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic
system.
