of the vehicle, near the mounting pipe or
inside the luggage compartment.
To ensure correct operation of the
system, periodically remove all deposits
of dirt which may have accumulated on
the ball head bar and from the mounting
pipe. The lock must only be treated with
graphite.
Periodically lubricate the joints, the
sliding surfaces and the balls with grease
without resin or oil. Lubrication is also a
further corrosion protection.

high-pressure jets, the ball head bar
must be removed and the dedicated plug
fitted. The ball head bar must never be
treated with high-pressure jets.
Two keys are supplied together with the
removable ball tow bar. Note down the
four-digit key number and keep it in a
safe place. This number is to be used for
ordering any duplicate keys that may be
required.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Jeep Dealership.
WARNING

The TireKit is located in the luggage
compartment inside its own box. The
container is also equipped with a
screwdriver, the tow ring and the
refuelling adaptor.
LPG versions
The car has a “TireKit” quick tyre repair
kit, not a space-saver spare wheel,
located in the boot inside a specific rigid
preformed housing fig. 176.The TireKit fig. 177 comprises:
one cartridge A containing sealant and
fitted with: transparent tube for injecting
the sealant and sticker C with the
wording MAX 80 km/h / 50 mph to be
placed in a clearly visible position (e.g.
on the dashboard) after repairing the
tyre;
one compressor B;one leaflet containing instructions for
using the kit;
a pair of gloves located in the hose
compartment of the cartridge D.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where you
can change the wheel safely. The car
must be stopped in a lay-by, car-park or
parking or service area, and the ground
must be as level as possible and
sufficiently compact;
switch off the engine, apply the
electrical parking brake and engage the
1st gear or reverse gear. Make sure that
any passengers get out of the car and go
to a safe place where they will not
obstruct traffic or be exposed to the risk
of injury. Wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law) before getting out of
the car;

insert the cartridge A containing the
sealant in the proper compartment of the
compressor B, pressing it down hard.
Remove the adhesive speed label C and
apply it in a visible position;
wear the gloves;remove the cap from the tyre valve and
connect and screw the transparent tube
of the sealing fluid D onto the valve. If a
250 ml cartridge is present the housing
of the transparent tube is provided with
removable ring to facilitate extraction.
Make sure that the ON-OFF button F is in
the off position (button not pressed);
insert the electrical connector E
fig. 178 in the 12 V current socket of the
car and start the engine;
operate the compressor by pressingthe ON-OFF button F fig. 179. When the
pressure shown in the "Wheels"
paragraph in the “Technical data”
chapter or on the specific label appears
on the pressure gauge G, stop the
compressor by pressing the ON-OFF
button again;
disconnect the cartridge A
fig. 180 from the compressor, by
pressing the release button H and lifting
the cartridge upwards.
If the pressure gauge G
fig. 179 indicates a pressure lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi 15 minutes after starting
the compressor, switch off the
compressor, disconnect the sealing fluid
tube D from the tyre valve and remove
the cartridge A from the compressor.
Move the car by approximately 10 metres
to allow the distribution of the sealant.
Stop the vehicle safely, operate the
handbrake and restore pressure using the
black inflation pipe L fig. 181 to reach
the required pressure. If also in this
case, the pressure is lower than 1.8 bar /
26 psi 15 minutes after turning on, do
not resume driving but contact a Jeep
Dealership. After driving for about 8 km /
5 miles fig. 182, move the car to a safe
and suitable area and engage the

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

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.
