Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Jeep.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way. This vehicle
is intended for daily use as well as for specific uses, so even routes and uses not suitable for traditional vehicles on the market can
be tackled. Ride and handling capabilities are different from most other vehicles, both on and off road; we thus recommend you to
spend all the time necessary to know the vehicle dynamics.
Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best performance
from the technical features of your Jeep.
You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and above all
with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different road
surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and
maintenance of your Jeep over time.
After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains onboard
the vehicle should it be sold.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Jeep offers to its customers, the Warranty
Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at
Jeep.
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING
136)If the fuse blows again contact a Jeep
Dealership.
137)Never replace a fuse with another with
a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
138)If a general protection fuse (MAXI-
FUSE, MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) blows,
contact a Jeep Dealership.
139)Before replacing a fuse, make sure
that the ignition device has been taken to
STOP, that the ignition key, if mechanical,
has been removed and that all the other
services are switched off and/or
deactivated.
140)Contact a Jeep Dealership if a safety
system (airbags, brakes), power unit
system (engine, gearbox) or steering
system general protection fuse blows.
WARNING
53)Never replace a fuse with metal wires
or anything else.
54)If it is necessary to wash the engine
compartment, take care not to directly hit
the junction unit and the window wiper
motors with the water jet.
CHANGING A WHEEL
141) 142) 143) 144) 145) 146) 147) 148)
CHANGING PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel safely,
as far as possible from the side of the
road. The ground should be flat if
possible, and sufficiently firm;
❒engage the hazard warning lights and
the electric parking brake;
❒engage first gear or reverse or, for
versions with automatic transmission,
move the lever to position P (Park);
❒stop the engine and put on the
reflective safety jacket (for your own
safety and in compliance with national
laws) before getting out of the vehicle.
The engine must stay off while the
vehicle is raised from the ground.
The spare wheel or, depending on the
version, space-saver wheel is located
under the luggage compartment carpet
fig. 130.
To access the wheel or space-saver
wheel, proceed as follows:
❒open the tailgate, grip handle A fig.
131 and raise load platform B, holding
it with one hand;❒pull tab C fig. 132 and lift the carpet;
130J0A0223C
131J0A0086C
132J0A0090C
135

❒Raising the vehicle any more than
necessary may lower its stability: the
jack may slip and injure those nearby.
Do not raise the vehicle any more
than required for the removal of the
wheel.
❒Tyres with unidirectional tread can be
recognised by arrows on the side of
the tyre which indicate the direction of
rotation. This must of necessity be
complied with. Only in this way can the
tyres maintain their characteristics in
terms of grip, noise, resistance to wear
and drainage on wet surfaces.
❒If, after a puncture, it is necessary to
fit such a tyre the wrong way round,
it will be necessary to continue driving
with great care, since the tyre’s
performance is limited in these
conditions. This precaution must be
borne in mind above all when the road
surface is wet.
❒In order to benefit completely from
the unidirectional tread, it is advisable to
restore all wheels to the correct
direction of rotation as soon as
possible.
❒Make sure that the spare wheel is
fitted with the valve facing outwards.
The wheel may be damaged if fitted
incorrectly.❒If the vehicle has a hub cap or wheel
cover, do not attempt to fit it on the
spare wheel.
❒To prevent injury to persons, the
complete tightening of the bolts must
only be carried out when all of the
vehicle’s wheels are on the ground, to
prevent the vehicle falling from the jack.
❒After having travelled for about
40 km, stop and check that the bolts
are tightened correctly.
WARNING
141)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute
a serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the luggage compartment.
142)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
143)Indicate the presence of the stationary
vehicle in accordance with current
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Those on board should get
out of the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
laden, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the threat posed by
the traffic. On slopes or on unsurfaced
roads, chock the wheels with the chocks
provided.144)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is of about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
standard tyre on a rim that is designed for
use with a space-saver wheel. Have the
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden.
Do not grease the threads of the bolts
before fitting them: they might slip out
when driving!
145)The space-saver wheel (where
provided) is specific to your vehicle: do not
use it on other models, or use the
space-saver wheel of other models on your
vehicle. The space-saver wheel must only
be used in the event of emergency. It
must only be used for the distance
necessary to reach a service point and the
vehicle speed must not exceed 80 km/h.
The space-saver wheel has an orange label
that summarises the main cautions for
use and limitations. Never remove or cover
the label. Never apply a hub cap on a
space-saver wheel.

IN AN EMERGENCY

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions. For this
reason, Jeep has planned a series of
checks and services at fixed distance
intervals and, where provided, at fixed
time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Jeep Dealerships according to a set
time schedule. If, during each
operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may
be carried out with your explicit
agreement only. If your vehicle is used
frequently for towing, the interval
between one service operation and the
next should be reduced.IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
Coupons are required by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Jeep
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long
journeys, check and if necessary, top
up: engine coolant level; brake fluid
level; screen washer fluid level; tyre
inflation pressure and condition; lighting
system operation (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
screen washer/wiper system operation
and positioning/wear of windscreen/
rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
HEAVY-DUTY USE OF THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle is used under one of the
following conditions: towing a trailer
or caravan; dusty roads; short (less
than 7-8 km), repeated journeys with
sub-zero outside temperatures; engine
often idling or driving long distances
at low speed or long periods of
inactivity, the following checks must be
carried out more often than indicated
in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:❒check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect condition of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and
rubber elements (boots/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
❒visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts;
❒check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.
On versions with automatic
transmission, change transmission oil
and replace oil filter every 60,000 km
(40,000) or every 4 years.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT In versions with a sun
roof, make sure that the sun roof is
closed before operating the window
washer jets.
Rear window washer
The rear window washer jets are fixed.
The nozzle holder is located above
the rear window.
WARNING
176)The air intake system (air cleaner,
rubber hoses, etc.) can be a protection in
the case of blowbacks from the engine.
DO NOT REMOVE this system unless you
need to carry out repair or servicing
operations. Before starting the engine
make sure the system is not dismantled:
failure to comply with this precaution
may cause serious injuries.
177)Exhaust emissions are very
dangerous and may be fatal. They contain
carbon monoxide, a colourless and
odourless gas which, if inhaled, may cause
fainting and poisoning.
178)The exhaust system can reach high
temperatures and cause a fire if the vehicle
is parked on flammable material. Dry grass
or leaves can also catch fire if they come
into contact with the exhaust system.
Do not park or use the vehicle in a place in
which the exhaust system might come
into contact with flammable material.
WARNING
64)Incorrect maintenance of the vehicle or
failure to carry out operations or repairs
(when necessary) may lead to more
expensive repairs, damage to other
components or a negative impact on the
vehicle performance. Have any operating
faults immediately checked by a Jeep
Dealership.
65)The vehicle is equipped with fluids
optimised for protecting its performance
and duration, and to extend servicing
intervals. Do not use chemicals for washing
these components since they may
damage the engine, the gearbox or the
climate control system. This damage is not
covered by the vehicle’s warranty. If, due
to malfunction of a component, washing is
needed, only use the fluid specific for
that procedure.
66)An excessive or insufficient amount of
oil in the block is extremely harmful for
the engine. Make sure it is always at an
adequate level.
67)Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the vehicle.
Some non-approved coolants are
flammable and may explode, with the risk
of injuries. The use of non-approved
coolants or lubricants may adversely affect
system efficiency, leading to expensive
repairs.68)The air conditioning system contains
high-pressure coolant: to prevent damage
to people or the system, any topping-up
with fuel or repairs that involves
disconnection of the pipes must be carried
out by a Jeep Dealership.
69)Vehicles equipped with a catalytic
converter must be exclusively supplied with
unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol would
permanently damage the catalytic
converter and eliminate its ability to reduce
polluting emissions, seriously
compromising the engine performance,
which would be irreparably damaged. If the
engine does not work correctly, especially
if it starts irregularly or if there is a reduction
of its performance, immediately go to a
Jeep Dealership. Prolonged and faulty
operation of the engine may cause
overheating of the converter and, as a
consequence, possible damage to the
converter and the vehicle.
70)Using a gearbox fluid different from that
approved may compromise gearshifting
quality and/or cause vibration of the
gearbox itself.
71)It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by a Jeep Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations
and small servicing interventions personally
on the vehicle, it is recommended to use
suitable equipment, original spare parts
and the necessary fluids. Do not carry out
any interventions if you don't have the
necessary experience.

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF
ITS LIFE
Jeep has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its production
processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly "eco-compatible". To assure customers of the best possible
service in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the
end of their life, Jeep is offering their customers the opportunity of handing over their vehicle (*) at the end of its life without
incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses
as a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In particular, in almost all European Union countries, until 1st January
2007, vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 will be collected free of charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free of charge
irrespective of the year of registration as long as the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and
bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go to one of our Dealerships or Jeep-authorised collection
and scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality service for the collection, treatment and
recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment. You can find further information on these
collection and scrapping centres either from a Jeep Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00 800 0 426 5337 or on
the Jeep website.
