GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The booklet that you are reading simply
and directly explains how it is made
and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see immediately what is
described here for yourself.THE KEYS....................................... 7

7)On versions equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go system, do not leave the
electronic key inside or near the vehicle or
in a place accessible to children. Do not
leave the vehicle with the ignition device in
the MAR position. A child could operate
the electric windows, other controls or
even start the vehicle.SENTRY KEY®
TheSentry Key® system, prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle, disa-
bling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that
the vehicle's doors are locked or
unlocked.
When the ignition device is taken to
MAR, theSentry Key® system identi-
fies the code transmitted by the key. If
the code is recognised as valid, the
Sentry Key® system enables engine
starting.
When the ignition device is brought
back to STOP, theSentry Key® sys-
tem deactivates the control unit control-
ling the engine, thus preventing its
starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph,
"Starting and driving" chapter.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bring
the ignition device to STOP and then to
MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact a
Jeep Dealership.
If the
icon is displayed while driving,
this means that the system is running
a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage
drop). If the displaying is still on,
contact a Jeep Dealership.

device at MAR.
Ring nut A fig. 29 can be set to the
following positions:
windscreen wiper off.
1intermittent operation (low
speed)
2intermittent operation (high
speed);
LOWcontinuous slow operation.
HIGHcontinuous fast operation.Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST function:
operation is limited to the time for which
the stalk is held in this position. When
released, the stalk will return to its
default position and the windscreen
wiper will be automatically stopped.
This function is useful to remove small
deposits of dust from the windscreen,
or morning dew.
IMPORTANT This function does not
activate the windscreen washer;
windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen
washer fluid onto the windscreen, the
washing function must be used.
With ring nut A in position1
or2
, the windscreen wiper will
automatically adapt its operating speed
to the speed of the vehicle.
"Smart washing" function
Pull the lever towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled to activate both
the windscreen washer jet and the
windscreen wiper with a single
movement; the latter turns on
automatically.
The wiper stops working three strokes
after the stalk is released. A further
stroke after approximately 6 seconds
completes the cycle.

20)Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.
WARNING
7)Do not use the screen wiper to remove
layers of snow or ice from the windscreen.
In such conditions, the windscreen wiper
may be subjected to excessive stress
and the motor cut-out switch, which
prevents operation for a few seconds, may
intervene. If operation is not subsequently
restored, even after the vehicle is restarted,
contact a Jeep Dealership.
8)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with blades lifted from the windscreen.
9)Do not activate the rain sensor while
washing the vehicle in an automatic

IMPORTANT Do not affix stickers to the inside of the heated rear window over the heating filaments, to avoid damage that
might cause them to stop working properly.
IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes it possible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions more quickly
depending on the mode selected. Do not use the internal air recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows misting.
Additional heater(where provided)
The additional heater ensures more
rapid passenger compartment heating.
It activates in cold weather conditions,
if the following conditions are verified:
❒outside temperature low;
❒engine coolant temperature low;
❒engine on;
❒fan speed set at least to 1st speed;
❒knob C turned completely clockwise
to red section.
The heater is switched off when at least
one of the conditions above is no
longer verified.NoteThe power of the electric heater is
modulated according to the battery
voltage.
WARNING
2)The system uses R1234YF coolant,
which does not pollute the environment in
the event of accidental leakage. Under
no circumstances use R134a and R12
fluids, which are incompatible with the
components of the system.

Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers. This air distribution setting heats the passenger compartment most quickly,
giving a prompt sensation of warmth.
+Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers (hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents (cooler air). This
distribution setting is useful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
+Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers and windscreen and front side window defrosting/demisting diffusers.
This distribution setting allows the passenger compartment to be warmed up efficiently and prevents the windows
from misting up.
+Air flow distribution between windscreen demisting/defrosting diffusers and side and central dashboard vents. This
allows air to be sent to the windscreen in conditions of strong sunlight.
++Air flow distribution to all diffusers on the vehicle.
I - heated rear window on/off button; (where this function is provided, pressing the button also activates demisting/defrosting of
the door mirrors);
L - passenger side temperature adjustment knob;
M - SYNC function activation button (alignment of set temperatures) driver/passenger side;
N - AUTO function activation button (automatic operation).
In AUTO mode, the climate control
system automatically manages air
distribution (the LEDs on buttons H are
off). When set manually, the air
distribution is shown by the LEDs on
the selected buttons.
In combined function mode the relevant
function is enabled simultaneously
with those already set by pressing the
corresponding button. If a button
whose function is already active is
pressed, its operation is cancelled and
the corresponding LED switches off.
To restore automatic control of the
air distribution after a manual selection,
press the AUTO button.NOTES
The automatic climate control manages
the Stop/Start system (engine off and
vehicle at a standstill) in order to
guarantee sufficient comfort inside the
vehicle. In particularly severe climate
conditions it is recommended to limit
the use of the Stop/Start system to
prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with
consequent rapid misting of the
windows and accumulation of humidity
with unpleasant smells in the passenger
compartment.When the Stop/Start system is on
(engine off and vehicle at a standstill),
the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking
air in from outside, to reduce the
probability of the windows misting up
(as the compressor is off).

21)They operate with the ignition device at
MAR and for nearly 3 minutes after
the ignition device switches to STOP (or
also after the mechanical key has
been extracted, for vehicles equipped
with mechanical key with remote
control). When one of the front doors is
opened this operation is disabled.
Driver side front door

safety device
(where provided)
This safety system can recognise the
presence of any obstacle during the
window closing movement. If this
occurs, the system stops the window's
movement and reverts it by a few
centimetres, depending on its position.
The anti-crush safety function is
activated both during the manual and
the automatic operation of the window.
Electric window system

WARNING
21)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during their
operation, ensure that any passengers
are not at risk from the moving glass either
by personal objects getting caught in the
mechanism or by being hit by it directly.
When leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.
ELECTRIC SUN
ROOF
22)11)The electric sun roof comprises two
glass panels (the front one is mobile
and the rear one fixed) and is fitted with
an electrically operated sun blind.
The sun roof and the blind can
be operated only with the ignition
device turned to MAR.
CONTROL BUTTONS

84)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if
a rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger's side sun visor (see
the "Supplementary Restraint System
(SRS) - Airbag" paragraph).
85)Should it be necessary to carry a child
on the passenger side front seat in a rear
facing child restraint system, the passenger
side front airbag and side bag must be
deactivated through the display main menu
(see the instructions in the "Display"
paragraph, "Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter), verifying activation by checking
whether the
OFFLED has switched on
in the panel located on the dashboard.
Move the passenger's seat as far back as
possible to avoid contact between the child
restraint system and the dashboard.
86)Do not adjust the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
87)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided
by the Manufacturer.88)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured
inside the passenger compartment. In this
way, in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
89)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove
the child restraint system before making
any adjustment.
90)Always make sure that the chest
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.
Therefore the child must always wear
the seat belt correctly.
91)Do not use the same lower anchorage
to install more than one child protection
system.
92)If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint
system is not fixed to all three anchorages,
it will not be able to protect the child
correctly. In a crash, the child could be
seriously or fatally injured.
93)Fit the child restraint system only when
the vehicle is stationary. The child restraint
system is correctly fixed to the brackets
when you hear the click. Follow the
instructions for assembly, disassembly and
positioning that the Manufacturer must
supply with the child restraint system.
SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS) - AIRBAG
The vehicle is equipped with:
❒front driver airbag;
❒front passenger airbag;
❒driver and passenger front side bags
for pelvis, chest and shoulder
protection (Side bags);
❒front and rear side passenger side
bags for head protection (window bag).
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver/passenger airbags and
the driver's knee bag (where provided)
protect the front seat occupants in
the event of frontal impacts of
medium/high severity, by placing the
bag between the occupant and the
steering wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-activation in other types
of collisions (side impacts, rear shunts,
roll-overs, etc.) does not indicate a
system malfunction.
Driver and passenger front airbags are
not a replacement of but
complementary to the seat belts, which
should always be worn, as specified
by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
