ELECTRONIC CRUISE
CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance device that allows the
desired vehicle speed to be maintained,
without having to press the accelerator
pedal.
This device can be used at a speed above
40 km/h on long stretches of dry, straight
roads with few variations (e.g.
motorways). It is therefore not
recommended to use this device on
extra-urban roads with traffic. Do not use
it in town.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
131) 132) 133)
To activate the Cruise Control press
buttonfig. 114. If the Speed Limiter
is activated, buttonmust be pressed
twice to activate the device (the first
press deactivates the Speed Limiter, the
second press activates the Cruise
Control).
For versions equipped with four wheel
drive system, the device cannot be
inserted when the 4WD LOW (ifavailable) or the Hill Descent Control
functions are activated.
The device cannot be engaged in 1
stor
reverse gear: it is advisable to engage it
in 3
rdgear or higher.
IMPORTANT It is dangerous to leave
the device on when it is not used.
There is a risk of inadvertently
activating it and losing control of the
vehicle due to unexpected excessive
speed.

SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
Activate the device and then, when the
vehicle has reached the desired speed,
press button SET + (or SET –) and
release it to activate the device. When
the accelerator is released, the vehicle
will proceed at the selected speed.
If needed (when overtaking for instance),
you can accelerate simply by pressing the
accelerator; when you release the pedal,
the vehicle goes back to the speed stored
previously.
When travelling downhills with the device
active, the vehicle speed may slightly
exceed the stored one.
IMPORTANT Before pressing buttons
SET + (or SET –) the vehicle must be
travelling at a constant speed on a flat
surface.
INCREASING/DECREASING
SPEED
Once the electronic Cruise Control has
been activated, the speed can be
increased by pressing button SET + or
decreased by pressing button SET – .
ACCELERATING WHEN
OVERTAKING
Depress the accelerator pedal: when this
is released the vehicle will gradually go
back to the stored speed.
IMPORTANT The device keeps the
speed stored even uphill and downhill.
A slight variation in the speed on slight
rises is completely normal.
RECALLING THE SPEED
Versions with automatic
transmission(operating in Drive mode -
automatic): press and release the RES
button.
Versions with manual gearbox or
automatic transmission in Autostick
(sequential) mode: before recalling the
previously set speed you should
accelerate until getting close to it, then
press and release the RES button.
DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE
Pressing the CANC button or pressing the
brake pedal as the vehicle is slowing
down deactivates the electronic Cruise
Control without deleting the stored
speed.
The Cruise Control can also be
deactivated if the electric parking brake(EPB) is activated or if the braking
system intervenes (e.g. the ESC system).
DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE
The device is deactivated by pressing
buttonor bringing the ignition device
to STOP.
WARNING
131)When travelling with the device
active, never move the gear lever to
neutral.
132)In case of a malfunction or failure of
the device, contact a Jeep Dealership.
133)The electronic Cruise Control can be
dangerous if the system cannot keep a
constant speed. In specific conditions
speed may be excessive, resulting in the
risk of losing control of the vehicle and
causing accidents. Do not use the device
in heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snowy
or slippery roads.

DESCRIPTION
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
driver assist device which combines the
Cruise Control functions with one for
controlling the distance from the vehicle
ahead.
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) uses a
radar sensor, located behind the front
bumper fig. 115 and a camera, located
in the middle of the windscreen fig. 116,
to detect the presence of a vehicle close
ahead.
There are two operating modes:
“Adaptive Cruise Control”mode to
maintain an adequate distance between
vehicles (the message “Adaptive CruiseControl” is shown on the instrument
panel display);
electronic “Cruise Control” modeto hold the vehicle at a constant
preset speed.
To change the operation mode, use the
button on the steering wheel (see that
described on the following pages).

IMPORTANT It is dangerous to leave
the device activated when it is not
used. There is a risk of inadvertently
activating it and losing control of the
vehicle due to unexpected excessive
speed.
Deactivation
With the device active, to deactivate it
press and release the
button. The
display will show a dedicated message.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
The device can be set only with speeds
above 30 km/h (or 20 mph for markets
with instrument panels giving mph) and
under 160 km/h (or 100 mph for
markets with instrument panels
giving mph).
When the vehicle reaches the desired
speed, press and release the button SET
+ or SET to set the speed to the current
speed. The display will show the set
speed. Then take your foot off the
accelerator pedal.
The system cannot be set
when pressing the brake pedal;when the brakes are overheated;when the electric parking brake is
engaged;
when the shift lever is in the P (park),
R (reverse) or N (neutral) positions
(versions with automatic transmission orautomatic transmission with double
clutch);
when the shift lever is in the R
(reverse), neutral or in 1st (first gear
engaged) positions (versions with manual
transmission);
when the clutch is pressed (versions
with manual transmission);
when the engine speed exceeds a
maximum threshold (versions with
manual transmission and versions with
automatic transmission/automatic
transmission with double clutch) or goes
below a minimum threshold (only
versions with manual transmission);
when the car speed is not within the
settable speed range;
when the ESC (or ABS or other
stability control systems) are operating or
have just operated;
when the ESC system is off;during automatic braking by the
Forward Collision Warning Plus system
(where provided);
when the Speed Limiter is active;when the electronic Cruise Control is
active;
in case of failure of the device;when the engine is off;in case of obstruction of the radar
sensor (in this case the bumper area
where it is located must be cleaned).
IMPORTANT The device does not
deactivate on reaching speeds higher
than those that can be set (160 km/h
or 100 mph for instrument panel set
to mph) with the accelerator pedal
pressed. In these conditions, the
device may not work correctly and it is
advisable to deactivate it.
CHANGING SPEED
Speed increase
After having set the device, the stored
speed can be stored by holding the SET
+ button pressed.
Press the SET + button once: the set
speed will increase by 1 km/h (or by
1 mph when the measurement unit is set
to mph). Each touch of the button once
will increase the speed by 1 km/h (or by
1 mph, the latter for instrument panels
set to miles per hour).
Hold the SET + button pressed: the set
speed will increase in 10 km/h steps (or
in 5 mph steps when the measurement
unit is set to mph) until the button is
released. The set speed increase is
shown on the display.
Decreasing speed
After having set the device, the stored
speed can be reduced by holding the
SET – button pressed.
164
STARTING AND DRIVING

The setting is 4 (maximum) the first time
the device is used. After the distance has
been modified by the driver, the new
distance will be stored also after the
system is deactivated and reactivated.
To decrease the distance
Press and release the
button to
decrease the distance setting.
The distance setting decreases by one
bar (shorter) every time the button is
pressed.
The set speed is held if there are no
vehicles ahead. Once the shortest
distance has been reached, a further
press of the button will set the longest
distance.
The vehicle holds the set distance until:
the vehicle ahead accelerates to a
speed higher than the set speed;
the vehicle ahead leaves the lane or
the detection field of the Adaptive Cruise
Control device sensor;
the distance setting is changed;the Adaptive Cruise Control device is
deactivated/cancelled.
IMPORTANT The maximum breaking
applied by the device is limited. The
driver may apply the brakes in all
cases, if needed.IMPORTANT If the device predicts that
the braking level is not sufficient to
hold the set distance, the warning
message “BRAKE!” will blink on the
display while approaching the vehicle
ahead. An acoustic signal is also
emitted. In this case, it is advisable to
brake immediately as necessary to hold
a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
IMPORTANT The driver is responsible
for ensuring that there are no
pedestrians, other vehicles or
objectives along the direction of the
vehicle. Failure to comply with these
precautions may cause serious
accidents and injuries.
IMPORTANT The driver is fully
responsible for holding a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective
country.
DEACTIVATION
The device is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:
thebutton is pressed on the
Adaptive Cruise Control;
thebutton is pressed on the
electronic Cruise Control;
the Speed Limiter button is pressed;
the ignition device is in the STOP
position;
4WD LOW mode is activated.
The device is cancelled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
when the CANC button is pressed;when the conditions shown in the
“Setting the desired speed” paragraph
occur;
when the vehicle speed drops under
the minimum set speed (e.g. in presence
of slow vehicles).
If these conditions occur while the
system is decelerating with respect to a
vehicle ahead, the system could continue
the deceleration, if necessary, also after
it is cancelled or deactivated within the
minimum speed settable on the system.
ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL
MODE
Electronic Cruise Control mode is
available for travelling at constant speed
in addition to the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) mode.
If the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
function is implemented on the vehicle,
the electronic Cruise Control works in the
same manner as the ACC (by pressing
the
button of the Cruise Control) with
the difference that:
it does not hold the distance from the
vehicle ahead;
