insert the new bulb, making sure it is
properly blocked in the holder;
finally, refit the lenses.
WARNING
150)Before replacing the bulb, wait for
the exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER
OF SCALDING!
151)Modifications or repairs to the
electric system that are not carried out
properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the risk of
fire.
152)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
IMPORTANT
76)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching
the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb
dry.

153)Only replace the light bulbs when the
engine is off and in a position that does
not interfere with traffic and lets you
safely replace them (see the description in
the “Replacement” paragraph). Also
ensure that the engine is cold, to prevent
the risk of burns.

CHANGING PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:stop the car in a position that does
not cause any danger to traffic and lets
you change the tire in safety, as far as
possible from the edge of the driving
lane. The ground must be flat and
sufficiently compact;
engage the hazard warning lights and
the electric parking brake;
engage first gear or reverse or, for
versions with automatic transmission,
move the lever to position P (Park);
stop the engine and put on the
reflective safety jacket (for your own
safety and in compliance with national
laws) before getting out of the vehicle.
The motor must be kept off as long as
the car is lifted off the ground.
The spare tire, or depending on the
version, the temporary spare tire, are
located under the covering carpet in the
boot fig. 168.To access the tire or spare tire, proceed
as follows:
open the boot door, grab device A
fig. 169 and lift load platform B up,
holding it with one hand;
grab handle C fig. 170 and lift up the
covering carpet;

compartment, ensuring that they are
locked correctly.
IMPORTANT
Should it be absolutely necessary to
operate on the road surface or near it,
pay the utmost attention to vehicles in
transit.
Pay particular attention when using
the key to remove the bolts: it may have
sharp edges.
Raising the vehicle any more than
necessary may lower its stability: the jack
may slip and injure those nearby. Do not
raise the vehicle any more than required
for the removal of the wheel.
Tyres with unidirectional tread can be
recognised by arrows on the side of the
tyre which indicate the direction ofrotation. This must of necessity be
complied with. Only in this way can the
tyres maintain their characteristics in
terms of grip, noise, resistance to wear
and drainage on wet surfaces.
If, after a puncture, it is necessary to
fit such a tyre the wrong way round, it
will be necessary to continue driving with
great care, since the tyre’s performance
is limited in these conditions. This
precaution must be borne in mind above
all when the road surface is wet.
In order to benefit completely from
the unidirectional tread, it is advisable to
restore all wheels to the correct direction
of rotation as soon as possible.
Make sure that the spare wheel is
fitted with the valve facing outwards. The
wheel may be damaged if fitted
incorrectly.
If the vehicle has a hub cap or wheel
cover, do not attempt to fit it on the
spare wheel.
To prevent injury to persons, the
complete tightening of the bolts must
only be carried out when all of the
vehicle’s wheels are on the ground, to
prevent the vehicle falling from the jack.
After having travelled for about
40 km, stop and check that the bolts are
tightened correctly.
WARNING
159)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the luggage compartment.
160)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
161)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights,
warning triangle, etc. Any passengers on
board should leave the car, especially if it
is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed. On slopes or on
unsurfaced roads, chock the wheels with
the chocks provided.

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
versions: lift up the transmission gaiter A
fig. 183 and then remove the badge ,
pulling it from the inside with both hands
(you can access the badge once the

IN AN EMERGENCY

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
