handbrake. Take the compressor and
restore pressure using the black inflation
tube L.
If the pressure shown is higher than1.8 bar / 26 psi, restore the pressure and
drive safely to a Jeep Dealership as soon
as possible. If, however, the pressure is
lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, do not
resume driving but contact a Jeep
Dealership.
INFLATION PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:stop the car safely, as described
above, and operate the electric
handbrake;

soon as possible. Before using the kit,
ensure that the tyre is not excessively
damaged and that the rim is in good
condition, otherwise do not use it and call
roadside assistance. Do not remove
foreign bodies from the tyre. Do not let the
compressor turned on for more than
20 consecutive minutes - overheating
hazard.

connect the other end of the cable
used for positive (+) to the positive
terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery;
connect one end of the cable used for
negative (–) to the negative terminal (–)
of the auxiliary battery;
Connect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to an engine earth
(the visible metal part of the vehicle
engine with flat battery) away from the
battery and the fuel injection system;
start the vehicle engine with the
auxiliary battery, let it run for a few
minutes at idling. Start the engine of the
vehicle with flat battery.
Cable disconnection.
Once the engine has been started,
remove the cables proceeding as follows:
disconnect the end of the cable used
for negative (–) from the engine earth of
the vehicle with flat battery;
disconnect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to the negative
terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery;
disconnect the end of the cable used
for positive (+) to the positive terminal
(+) of the auxiliary battery;
disconnect one end of the cable used
for positive (+) from the positive terminal
(+) of the vehicle with flat battery;
If it is often necessary to perform an
emergency starting, have the vehiclebattery and the recharging system
checked by a Jeep Dealership.
IMPORTANT Any accessories (e.g.
mobile phones, etc.) connected to the
vehicle current sockets, draw current
even if they are not used. These
devices, if left connected too much
time with engine off, may cause the
battery to drain with following
reduction of its life and/or failure to
start the engine.
WARNING
170)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
171)Remove any metal objects (e.g.
rings, watches, bracelets), that might
cause an accidental electrical contact and
cause serious injury.
172)The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Thus keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
80)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery.
The following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use
any other exposed metallic part.

FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
173)
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the interruption of the fuel supply with
the engine consequently cutting out;
the automatic unlocking of the doors;turning on the lights inside the car;deactivation of climate control system
ventilation;
switching on the hazard warning lights
(to disable the lights, perform the “reset”
procedure as described below).
On some versions, the intervention of the
system is indicated by a message shown
on the display. In the same way, a
dedicated message on the display warns
the driver if system operation is
compromised.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the
vehicle for fuel leaks, for instance in
the engine compartment, under the
vehicle or near the tank area. After a
collision, bring the ignition device to
STOP to prevent the battery from
running down.
Reset procedure
To restore correct operation of the
vehicle, carry out the following procedure(this procedure must be started and
completed within less than one minute):
bring the ignition device to MAR;turn on the direction indicators on the
right, then on the left, then again on the
right and again on the left;
now deactivate the direction indicators
on the left;
bring the ignition device to STOP;move the ignition device to MAR.
LPG versions
In case of collision, the petrol feed is
immediately closed, the LPG safety
solenoid valves are closed and injection
is interrupted to stop the engine.
WARNING
173)If, after an impact, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel system, do not
reactivate the system to avoid the risk of
fire.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION GEAR
LEVER UNLOCKING
In the event of a fault, to move the gear
lever from P (Park), proceed as follows:
stop the engine and engage the
electric parking brake;
Left hand drive versions: lift up the
transmission gaiter A fig. 183 to access
hole B fig. 184.Right hand drive

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the car 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 coupon however you always
need to pay attention to what is written
in the Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g.
periodically check liquid levels, tire
pressure, etc.).
The Scheduled Servicing is carried out
by the Jeep Assistance Network at
pre-set times. If, during each operation,
in addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with the
owner's explicit agreement only. If your
car is used frequently for towing, the
interval between one scheduled servicing
operation and the next should be
reduced.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the
warranty. It is advisable to inform aJeep Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the
next service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long trips
check and, if necessary, top up:
engine coolant level;brake fluid level;windscreen washer fluid level;tyre inflation pressure and condition;operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of screen washer/wiper
system and positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR
If the vehicle is used in one of the
following conditions:
Law enforcement (or security service),
taxi service
towing a trailer or caravan;dusty roads;short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;the following checks must be carried out
more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Service Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks, cleanliness
and lubrication of linkage;
visually inspect conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and rubber
elements (gaiters/sleeves/bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery fluid
level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions 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.
