air flow from central vents, side vents and front/rear footwell vents
air flow from the front and rear footwell vents and a light air flow also from the side vents on the dashboard
air flow from the front and rear footwell vents, to the windscreen, the side windows and a light air flow also at the side vents on
the dashboard
air flow to the windscreen, the side windows and a light air flow also at the side vents on the dashboard
4 further intermediate positions are also possible in the 5 main distributions described above.
F - heated rear window on/off button and, where provided, door mirror electric heating. For some versions, press the
button to
activate demisting/defrosting of door mirrors and of heated windscreen wiper blades area.

IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers to the inside of the heated rear window over the heating filaments, to avoid damage that
might cause them to stop working properly.
IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes it possible to reach the required ("heating" or "cooling") conditions more quickly
depending on the mode selected. Do not use the air recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows misting inside.

Operation
The automatic dual zone climate control
system regulates the air temperatures in
the passenger compartment in two zones:
driver side and passenger side.
The system maintains comfort inside the
passenger compartment and
compensates for possible variations in
outside weather conditions.
The automatically controlled parameters
and functions are:
air temperature at the driver/front
passenger side vents;
air distribution at the driver/front
passenger side vents;
fan speed (continuous variation of the
air flow);
compressor engagement (for
cooling/dehumidifying the air);
air recirculation.
All these functions can be adjusted
manually by operating the system and
selecting one or more functions and
modifying their parameters.
The temperature of the air sent is always
automatically controlled according to the
temperature set on the display (exceptfor when the system is off or in certain
conditions when the compressor is not
running).
Notes
Do not apply stickers to the inside of the
heated rear window over the heating
filaments, to avoid damage that might
cause them to stop working properly.
Internal air recirculation makes it
possible to reach the required ("heating"
or "cooling") conditions more quickly
depending on the mode selected. Do not
use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside.
The dual zone automatic climate control
manages the Stop&Start system (engine
off and car at a standstill) in order to
guarantee sufficient comfort inside the
car.
With Stop&Start function on (engine off
and car stopped), the flow is reduced as
much as possible, to keep the
compartment comfort conditions for
longer.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

connect the other end of the cable
used for positive (+) to the positive
terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery;
connect one end of the cable used for
negative (–) to the negative terminal (–)
of the auxiliary battery;
Connect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to an engine earth
(the visible metal part of the vehicle
engine with flat battery) away from the
battery and the fuel injection system;
start the vehicle engine with the
auxiliary battery, let it run for a few
minutes at idling. Start the engine of the
vehicle with flat battery.
Cable disconnection.
Once the engine has been started,
remove the cables proceeding as follows:
disconnect the end of the cable used
for negative (–) from the engine earth of
the vehicle with flat battery;
disconnect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to the negative
terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery;
disconnect the end of the cable used
for positive (+) to the positive terminal
(+) of the auxiliary battery;
disconnect one end of the cable used
for positive (+) from the positive terminal
(+) of the vehicle with flat battery;
If it is often necessary to perform an
emergency starting, have the vehiclebattery and the recharging system
checked by a Jeep Dealership.
IMPORTANT Any accessories (e.g.
mobile phones, etc.) connected to the
vehicle current sockets, draw current
even if they are not used. These
devices, if left connected too much
time with engine off, may cause the
battery to drain with following
reduction of its life and/or failure to
start the engine.
WARNING
170)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
171)Remove any metal objects (e.g.
rings, watches, bracelets), that might
cause an accidental electrical contact and
cause serious injury.
172)The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Thus keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
80)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery.
The following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use
any other exposed metallic part.
219

178)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
179)If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler cap, particularly for
vehicles with aluminium cap (where
provided). WARNING: risk of burns!
180)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
181)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Repeated operation of
the system without fluid could damage or
cause rapid deterioration of some system
components.
182)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.183)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
184)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral-based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
185)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
186)Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
187)If the vehicle must remain unused
for a long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.
188)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
IMPORTANT
83)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping
up with an unsuitable fluid could severely
damage your vehicle.
84)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX reference.
85)Do not add oil with specifications
other than those of the oil already in the
engine.
86)PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze fluid is used
in the engine cooling system; use the
same fluid type as that already in the
cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UPmay not be mixed with other
types of anti-freeze fluids. In the event of
topping up with an unsuitable product,
under no circumstances start the engine
and contact a Jeep Dealership.
87)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
