WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when applicable. These
indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the
information in this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT The failure indicators appearing on the display are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious
faults. Serious faults are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a
warning "cycle" with a shorter duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel
warning light will stay on until the cause of the failure is eliminated.
WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL
Red warning lights
Warning light What it means
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE ON
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum
level, possibly due to a leak in the circuit. Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the warning
light has switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Jeep Dealership.
Electric parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the electric parking brake is engaged. In the event of failure, the
warning light flashes for about 10 seconds and then turns off. Release the electric parking brake, then
check that the warning light has switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Jeep Dealership.
71

Warning light What it means
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and(amber) warning lights with the engine on
indicates either a fault of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. The display shows the
dedicated message.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Jeep Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
POWER STEERING FAILURE
If the warning light remains on, you could not have steering assistance and the effort required to
operate the steering wheel could be increased; steering is, however, possible.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.
Contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Amber warning lights
Warning light What it means
TPMS SYSTEM
TPMS failure
If a TPMS failure is detected, the warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on fixed.
The display shows the dedicated message. This also happens if there are one or more wheels without
sensors, until initial conditions are restored.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. Repair immediately using the dedicated tyre repair kit
and contact the dedicated Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower
than the recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tyre
duration and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.
Should two or more tyres be in the condition mentioned above, the display will show the indications
corresponding to each tyre in sequence.
In any situation in which the message on the display is “See manual”, it is ESSENTIAL to refer to the
contents of the “Wheels” paragraph in the “Technical data” chapter and strictly comply with the
instructions you find there.
ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on to indicate an ABS fault. In this case the braking system maintains its
efficiency unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS system. The display shows the dedicated
message. Drive carefully and contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

the door mirror and extends for about
6 metres towards the rear part of the
vehicle.
With the sensors active, the system
monitors the detection areas on both
sides of the vehicle and warns the driver
about the possible presence of vehicles
in these areas.
While driving the system monitors the
detection area from three different input
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether a warning needs to be sent to
the driver. The system can detect the
presence of a vehicle in one of these
three areas.
Important notes
68)
The system does not signal the presence
of fixed object (e.g. safety barriers, poles,
walls, etc.). However, in some
circumstances, the system may activate
in the presence of these objects. This is
normal and does not indicate a system
malfunction.
The system does not warn the driver
about the presence of cars coming from
the opposite direction, in the adjacent
lanes.
If a trailer is hitched to the car, the
system automatically deactivates.
For correct system operations, the rearbumper area where the radar sensors are
located must stay free from snow, ice and
dirt gathered from the road surface.
Do not cover the rear bumper area where
the radar sensors are located with any
object (e.g. adhesives, bike rack, etc.).
If a tow hook has to be installed after
purchasing the vehicle, the system must
be deactivated from the display Menu or
through theUconnect™system.
Rear view: the system detects vehicles
approaching to the rear part of your
vehicle on both sides and entering the
rear detection area with a speed delta
lower than 50 km/h with respect to your
vehicle.
Overtaking vehicles: if another vehicle is
overtaken slowly (with a speed delta
lower than about 25 km/h) and this stays
in the blind spot for about 1.5 seconds,
the warning light on the door mirror of
the corresponding side lights up. If the
speed delta between the two vehicles is
higher than about 25 km/h, the warning
light does not light up.
RCP (Rear Cross Path detection) system
This system helps during reverse
manoeuvres in the case of reduced
visibility. During "RCP" operating mode,
the system produces acoustic and visual
indications when if the presence of an
object is detected. When an acousticwarning is sent, theUconnect™volume is
lowered.
The system can be activated/deactivated
through the display Menu or the
Uconnect™system.
The system monitors the rear detection
areas on both sides of the vehicle, to
detect objects moving towards the sides
of the vehicle at a minimum speed
comprised between about 1 km/h and
3 km/h and objects moving at a
maximum speed of 35 km/h, as generally
happens in the parking areas. The system
activation is signalled to the driver by
means of a visual and acoustic warning.
IMPORTANT If the sensors are covered
by objects or vehicles, the system will
not warn the driver.
"Blind spot alert", "Visual" mode: when this
mode is active, the BSM system sends a
visual warning to the door mirror relating
to the object detected. When operating in
RCP mode, the system sends visual and
acoustic warnings when the presence of
an approaching object is detected. When
an acoustic warning is sent,
theUconnect™volume is lowered.
"Blind spot alert", "Sound & Display" mode:
when this mode is active, the BSM
system sends a visual warning to the door
mirror relating to the object detected. If
the direction indicator on the side where

72)If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if
it is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part
(e.g. another car, a wall or another
obstacle), the system may detect its
presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
settings of theUconnect™system.
73)The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular checks
of the tyre pressure, including for the
spare wheel, and correct maintenance: the
system is not used to signal a possible
fault to a tyre.
74)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres rested and cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason to check
pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than the
prescribed value. Repeat the check when
the tyres are cold.
75)Should one or more wheels be fitted
without sensors (e.g. if the spare wheel is
fitted), the system will no longer be
available for the replaced wheel and a
warning message will be shown on the
display, until the wheels with sensors are
fitted again.76)The TPMS cannot indicate sudden
tyre pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts).
In this case, stop the vehicle, braking with
caution and avoiding abrupt steering.
77)Replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa requires TPMS system
adjustment that must only be performed
by Jeep Dealerships.
78)Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The system
may temporarily indicate insufficient
pressure. In this case, check the tyre
pressure when cold and, if necessary,
restore the inflation values.
79)When a tyre is removed, it is advisable
to replace the rubber valve seal as well:
contact a Jeep Dealership. The
fitting/removal of the tyres and/or rims
require special care. To avoid damaging or
fitting the sensors incorrectly, tyre and/or
rim fitting/removal operations should only
be carried out by specialised staff.
Contact a Jeep Dealership.
IMPORTANT
33)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.34)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
35)System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.
36)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
37)Incorrect repairs made on the front
part of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis)
may alter the position of the radar sensor,
and adversely affect its operation. Go to a
Jeep Dealership for any operation of this
type.
38)Do not tamper with nor carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of
a sensor failure, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
39)When towing a trailer (with modules
installed after purchasing the vehicle), a
vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on a
vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for
transport), the system must be deactivated
via theUconnect™system.
