GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

5)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This holds true for cars being
towed as well.
6)Before leaving the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the handbrake. On versions
equipped with automatic transmission,
move the gear lever to STOP (Park) and
press the ignition device to set it to STOP.
When leaving the vehicle, always lock all
the doors by pressing the button on the

7)For versions equipped with the Keyless
Enter-N-Go system, do not leave the
electronic key inside or near the car or in
a place accessible to children. Do not
leave the vehicle with the ignition device
in MAR position. A child could activate
the electric window winders, other
controls or even start the vehicle.SENTRY KEY®
TheSentry Key®system, prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that the
vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition device is taken to
MAR, theSentry Key®system identifies
the code transmitted by the key. If the
code is recognised as valid, theSentry
Key®system enables engine starting.
When the ignition device is brought back
to STOP, theSentry Key®system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, thus preventing its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph, "Starting
and driving" chapter.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bringthe ignition device to STOP and then to
MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact a
Jeep Dealership.
If the
icon is displayed while driving,
this means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage
drop). If the displaying is still on, contact
a Jeep Dealership.

Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST
function: operation is limited to the
time for which the stalk is held in this
position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the
windscreen wiper will be automatically
stopped.
IMPORTANT This function does not
activate the windscreen washer;
windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen washer
fluid onto the windscreen, the washing
function must be used. With the ring A in
position
, the windscreen wiper is not
activated. In position, the pause time
between the strokes of the windscreenwiper is 10 seconds, independently of
the vehicle speed. In position
, the
pause time between two strokes is set
according to the vehicle speed: when the
speed increases, the time between two
strokes decreases. In positionLOorHI,
the windscreen wiper moves
continuously, i.e. without a pause
between two strokes.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
When the stalk is held pulled for longer
than half a second, the windscreen wiper
moves with active control. Releasing the
stalk will activate three strokes.
With the ring A in theLOorHIposition,
the smart washing function is not
performed.
The windscreen wiper stops working
three strokes after the stalk is released.
IMPORTANT If the stalk is activated for
less than half a second, only the
windscreen washer jet is activated. Do
not prolong the activation of the "Smart
Washing" function for more than
30 seconds. Do not activate the
windscreen washer control when the
reservoir is empty.RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
9) 10)
It is located behind the interior rear view
mirror, in contact with the windscreen,
and can detect the presence of rain and,
consequently, manage the automatic
windscreen wiping mode depending on
the amount of water on the screen (see
the “Automatic Wiping” paragraph).
The sensor will be activated when the
ignition device is turned to MAR, and will
be disabled with the ignition device in
the STOP position.
Automatic Wiping

WARNING
21)Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.
IMPORTANT
7)Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. If operation is not
subsequently restored, even after
restarting the engine, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
8)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
9)Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.

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.
