KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Passenger's front airbag and child restraint
systems
Rearward facing child restraint systems
mustNEVERbe fitted on the front seat
with an active passenger side airbag
since in the event of an impact the
airbag activation may cause fatal injuries
to the transported child.ALWAYScomply
with the instructions on the label stuck
on the passenger side sun visor fig. 99.Deactivating the passenger side airbags:
front airbag and side bag
If a child must be carried on the front
seat in a rear-facing child restraint
system, deactivate the passenger side
front airbag and front side bag. Use the
display Menu to deactivate them.
There are
OFFandONLEDs on the
dashboard trim. Moving the ignition
device to MAR, the two LEDs switch on
for a few seconds. Otherwise, contact a
Jeep Dealership.
During the first seconds, the activation of
the LEDs does not actually show the
passenger protection status, but only
checks its correct operation. After a test
of a few seconds, the LEDs will indicate
the status of the passenger airbag
protection.Passenger protection activated: the
ON
fig. 100 LED switches on fixed.
Passenger protection deactivated: the
OFFfig. 100 LED switches on with a
steady light.
The LEDs may light up with various
intensity levels depending on the vehicle
conditions. The intensity may vary during
the same key cycle.

STARTING THE ENGINE
116) 117) 118)44) 45) 46) 47)
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown on the
display.
LPG versions
The engine always starts up on petrol
independently of the previously selected
mode.
There must therefore always be some
petrol in the tank to protect the petrol
pump and to guarantee temporary
switching from Methane or LPG to petrol
operation, if high performance is
required.
PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Proceed as follows:engage the electric parking brake and
place the gear lever in neutral;
bring the ignition device to MAR. On
Diesel versions, waning lightlights upin the instrument panel: wait for the
warning light to switch off;
fully depress the clutch pedal without
touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;
if the engine does not start within
10 seconds, bring the ignition device
back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure.
PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
WITH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
Proceed as follows:engage the electric parking brake and
place the gear lever to P (Park) or N
(Neutral);
fully depress the brake pedal without
touching the accelerator;
place the ignition device to AVV;if the engine does not start, bring the
ignition device back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure.
IMPORTANT If, with the ignition
device at MAR, thesymbol on the
instrument panel stays on together
with warning light
, turn the
ignition device to STOP and then back
to MAR. If the warning light (or thesymbol on the display) remains on, try
with the other keys provided with the
vehicle. Contact a Jeep Dealership if
the engine still does not start.
ENGINE STARTING FAILURE
Starting the engine with electronic key
battery (Keyless Enter-N-Go) run down or
flat
If the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run down
or flat. Therefore, the system does not
detect the presence of the electronic key
on board the vehicle and displays a
dedicated message.
In this case, rest the rounded edge of the
electronic key (the side opposite the
metal insert) on the ignition device and
press the button by the electronic key.
The ignition device is thus activated and
the engine can be started.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Proceed as follows:park the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic; engage a
gear (versions with manual gearbox) or
position the gear lever to P (Parking)
(versions with automatic transmission);
turn the ignition device to STOP with
the engine idling.
146
STARTING AND DRIVING

Cars equipped with electronic key (Keyless
Enter-N-Go):at a car speed over 8 km/h
(5 mph) it is possible to switch the
engine off, also with automatic
transmission lever in a position other
than P (Parking). To switch off the engine
in this situation, hold down the ignition
device button for a while or press it
3 times in a row within a few seconds. In
this case the engine will stop and the
ignition device will switch to MAR.
WARNING
116)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
117)The brake servo is not active until
the engine is started, so you would need
to apply much more force than usual to
the brake pedal.
118)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
44)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km
(1000 miles), you do not drive to full car
performance (e.g. excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp braking,
etc.).
45)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
46)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
47)Warning light
will flash after
starting or during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault with the glow plug heating
system. If the engine starts, the vehicle
can be regularly used, but a Jeep
Dealership must be contacted as soon as
possible.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
Always remove the ignition key when
leaving the car.
When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
engage a gear (1st gear if facing uphill
or reverse if facing downhill) and leave
the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone
if the car is parked on a steep slope.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission or dual clutch automatic
transmission, wait for the letter P to be
displayed before releasing the brake
pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with
the gearbox in neutral (or, on versions
equipped with automatic transmission
or dual clutch automatic transmission,
before putting the shift lever in the P
position).
147

SAFE HOLD
It is a safety function that automatically
engages the electric parking brake in the
event of a dangerous condition for the
vehicle.
If:
the vehicle speed is below 3 km/h;the gear lever is not at P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission);
the driver's seat belt is not fastened;the driver side door is open;no attempted operation of the brake
pedal or the accelerator pedal, or, in
versions with manual gearbox, the clutch
pedal is detected;
the parking brake engages automatically
to prevent the vehicle movement.
The Safe Hold function can be
temporarily disabled by pressing the
switch located on the central tunnel and
the brake pedal at the same time, with
the vehicle stationary and the driver side
door open.
Once disabled, the function will activate
again when the vehicle speed reaches
20 km/h or the ignition device is moved
to STOP and then to MAR.
WARNING
119)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the front wheels must
be steered towards the pavement (when
parking downhill), or in the opposite
direction if the vehicle is parked uphill.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone
if the car is parked on a steep slope.
120)Never leave children unattended in
the car. Always remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the car and take it
with you.
121)The electric parking brake must
always be engaged when leaving the
vehicle.
MANUAL GEARBOX
122)48)
To engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and put the gear lever into the
required position (the diagram for gear
engagement is shown on the knob ).
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift the
ring Afig. 105 under the knob and at the
same time move the lever to the left and
then forwards.
To engage 6
thgear, operate the lever by
pressing it towards the right in order to
avoid engaging 4
thgear by mistake. The
same applies to the shift from 6thto 5th
gear.

STARTING AND DRIVING

IMPORTANT In the event of a
temporary failure it is anyway
recommended to contact a Jeep
Dealership as soon as possible.
IGNITION LOCK AND PARK
POSITION
Versions equipped with the Keyless
Enter-N-Go system: this function requires
the gear lever to be positioned to P (Park)
before bringing the ignition device to
position STOP.
Versions equipped with mechanical key:
this function requires the gear lever to be
positioned to P (Park) before extracting
the key from the ignition device.
If the vehicle battery is flat and the
ignition key is engaged, the latter is
locked in position. To remove the key
manually see paragraph "Automatic
transmission lever unlock" in chapter "In
an emergency".
GEAR ENGAGEMENT DISABLING
SYSTEM WITHOUT BRAKE
PEDAL PRESSED
This system prevents you from moving
the gear lever from position P (Park) if
the brake pedal has not been previously
depressed.
To bring the gear lever to a position other
than P (Park), the ignition device must
be in position AVV (engine on or off) and
the brake pedal must be depressed.
WARNING
123)Never use position P instead of the
electric parking brake. Always engage the
electric parking brake when parking the
vehicle to avoid the accidental movement
of the vehicle.
124)If the P position is not engaged, the
vehicle could move and injure people.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that
the gear lever is in position P and that the
electric parking brake is engaged.125)Do not shift the gear lever to N and
do not stop the engine when driving on a
downhill road. This type of driving is
dangerous and reduces the possibility of
intervening in the case of variation of the
road traffic or surface. You risk losing
control of your vehicle and causing
accidents.
126)Before moving the gear lever from
position P, bring the ignition device to
position MAR and press the brake pedal.
Otherwise, the gear lever may get
damaged.
127)Engage reverse only with the car
stationary, engine at idling speed and
accelerator fully released.

TWIN CLUTCH
TRANSMISSION
GEAR LEVER
128)
49) 50)
The fig. 105 lever has the following
positions:
P= ParkR= ReverseN= NeutralD= Drive, (automatic forward speed)"AutoStick": "+" shifting to higher gear
in sequential driving mode or "–" shifting
to lower gear in sequential driving mode.To select the "sequential" mode, shift the
lever from D (Drive) towards the left. The
reachable positions are + (higher gear) or
- (lower gear). These positions are
unstable: the lever always returns to
central position.
The lever has a button A fig. 107, which
must be pressed to move the lever to P or
R.
Shifting from P to any other position of
the selector lever, with ignition key in
MAR-ON position, must be made
pressing the brake pedal and using the
button on A fig. 107.
To shift from R to P, it is necessary to
push button A fig. 107 when engine is at
idle speed.
To shift from position N to D or R, you
need to press the brake pedal. It is
advisable not to accelerate and to make
sure that the engine is stabilised at idle
speed.
Shifting from D to N is free, while
shifting from D to R or P can only be
made by the button A fig. 107.
AUTOMATIC DRIVING MODE
D can be selected from sequential
operation in any driving conditions.“Kick-Down” function
To resume speed quickly, when the
accelerator pedal is pressed fully, the
transmission control system downshifts
(kick-down function).
IMPORTANT When driving on roads
with poor grip conditions (snow, ice,
etc.) avoid activating the kick-down
function.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Starting the engine is allowed only when
the gear lever is in position P or N. On
starting, the system is at N or P (the
latter means neutral, but with the car’s
wheels locked mechanically).
The engine restarts automatically if:
the brake pedal is released (and the
lever is not at N or P);
the lever is shifted to an unstable
position "+", "−" or R;
the lever is shifted from D to the left
in "Sequential mode".
IMPORTANT Under certain conditions
(for example with small gradients and
brake pedal not fully pressed),
switching off the engine by pressing
the button near the steering wheel (see
fig. 108 ) is not deactivated. In this
case, fully depress the brake pedal to
make the "Hill Start Assist" function
107J0A0924C
154
STARTING AND DRIVING

available and restart the engine, using
the gear lever as described previously.
MOVING THE CAR
To move the car, from P press the brake
pedal and, using the button on the gear
lever, move the lever to the desired
position (D, R or "Sequential mode"). The
display will show the gear engaged.
When the brake pedal is released, the car
starts moving forwards or backwards, as
soon as the manoeuvre is activated
("creeping" effect). The accelerator
should not be pressed in this case.
IMPORTANT The inconsistency
between the speed actually engaged
(shown on the display) and the
position of the gear lever is indicated
by the letter corresponding to the
position of the lever flashing on the
trim (also accompanied by an acoustic
signal).
This condition should not be interpreted
as an operational fault, but simply as a
request by the system to repeat the
manoeuvre.
IMPORTANT With engine running and
car stationary, in "Sequential mode",
the request for engaging 2
ndgear is
not accepted by the system (whether
the brake pedal is pressed or not).
If, with 1stgear or reverse (R) engaged,
the following conditions occur:
road slope over 5%;clutch overheated;engine torque constant for a given
period (e.g. if the car hits the pavement
or is parked downhill/uphill);
car movement is achieved by pressing
the accelerator pedal.
IMPORTANT With the electric parking
brake released and brake pedal
released, engine at idling speed and
gear lever in position D, R or
sequential, pay the utmost care
because the car can move even
without the operation of the
accelerator pedal. This condition can
be used with the car on a level surface
during tight parking manoeuvres using
the brake pedal only.
VEHICLE SHUTDOWN
Versions equipped with a Keyless Go
system: shift the gear lever to P (Park)
before shutting down the vehicle by
pressing the button next to the steering
wheel (see fig. 108 ).Versions equipped with key without remote
control: shift the gear lever to P (Park)
before extracting the key from the
ignition device.
If the vehicle battery is flat and the
ignition key is engaged, the latter is
locked in position.
Versions with a Start&Stop system: in order
to switch off the engine, the vehicle
needs to be stopped by applying
appropriate pressure on the brake pedal.
If the pressure is not sufficient, the
engine will not switch off. This feature
can be exploited so that the engine does
not switch off in particular traffic
conditions.
