68)The camera may have limited or
absent operation due to weather
conditions such as: heavy rain, hail, thick
fog, heavy snow, formation of ice layers on
the windscreen.
69)Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g.
vehicles that are driving not aligned with
yours, vehicle driving in a transverse or
opposite way on the same lane, bend with
a small radius of curvature), by road
surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make
sure the windscreen is always clean. Use
specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windscreen. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
70)Projecting loads on the roof of the
vehicle may interfere with the correct
operation of the camera. Before starting
make sure the load is correctly positioned,
in order not to cover the camera operating
range.71)If the windscreen must be replaced
due to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively a Jeep Dealership. Do
not replace the windscreen on your own,
risk of malfunction! It is advisable to
replace the windscreen if it is damaged in
the area of the camera.
72)Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact a Jeep Dealership.

SYMBOLS AND MESSAGES ON
THE DISPLAY
The active line grid is positioned on the
image to illustrate the width of the
vehicle and the expected reversing path
in accordance with the steering wheel
position.
A superimposed central broken line
indicates the centre of the car to
facilitate parking manoeuvres or tow hook
alignment.
The various coloured areas indicate the
distance from the rear part of the car.
AreaDistance from the rear
part of the car
Red (A) 0–30 cm
Yellow (B) 30–100 cm
Green (C) 1 m or more
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
144)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds. Always keep
a slow speed, so as to promptly brake in
the case of obstacles.
IMPORTANT
74)It is vital, for correct operation, that
the camera is always kept clean and free
from any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful
not to scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets,
clean the camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Also, do not apply stickers to the
camera.

Installing the ball head tow bar
Remove the plug from the mounting
pipe.
The ball head tow bar is usually in thereleased 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. 137 ) 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. 137;
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.
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.
IMPORTANT To prevent injury to limbs,
keep hands away from the knob when
locking.
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. 137, 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.
