Modes Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are
available in the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode,
the BSM system will provide a visual alert in
the appropriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. However, when the system
is operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode,
the system will respond with both visual andaudible alerts when a detected object is
present. Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio is muted.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/
Chime mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side view
mirror based on a detected object. If the turn
signal is then activated, and it corresponds
to an alert present on that side of the vehicle,
an audible chime will also be sounded.
Whenever a turn signal and detected object
are present on the same side at the same
time, both the visual and audible alerts will
be issued. In addition to the audible alert the
radio (if on) will also be muted.
NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is requested by
the BSM system, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall
respond with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. Whenever
an audible alert is requested, the radio is
also muted. Turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP state always requests the
chime.Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will
be no visual or audible alerts from either the
BSM or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current oper
-
ating mode when the vehicle is shut off.
Each time the vehicle is started the previ -
ously stored mode will be recalled and used.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With
Mitigation — If Equipped
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
provides the driver with audible, visual warn -
ings (within the instrument cluster display),
and may apply a haptic warning in the form
of a brake jerk, to warn the driver when it
detects a potential frontal collision. The
warnings are intended to provide the driver
with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate
the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the
forward looking sensors as well as Electronic
Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the
probability of a forward collision. When the
WARNING!
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) is not a
back up aid system. It is intended to be
used to help a driver detect an oncoming
vehicle in a parking lot situation. Drivers
must be careful when backing up, even
when using RCP. Always check carefully
behind your vehicle, look behind you, and
be sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
spots before backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

system determines that a forward collision is
probable, the driver will be provided with
audible and visual warnings as well as a
possible haptic warning in the form of a
brake jerk.
If the driver does not take action based upon
these progressive warnings, then the system
will provide a limited level of active braking
to help slow the vehicle and mitigate the
potential forward collision. If the driver
reacts to the warnings by braking and the
system determines that the driver intends to
avoid the collision by braking but has not
applied sufficient brake force, the system
will compensate and provide additional
brake force as required.
If a FCW with Mitigation event begins at a
speed below 32 mph (52 km/h), the system
may provide the maximum braking possible
to mitigate the potential forward collision. If
the Forward Collision Warning with Mitiga-
tion event stops the vehicle completely, the
system will hold the vehicle at standstill for
two seconds and then release the brakes. FCW Message

When the system determines a collision with
the vehicle in front of you is no longer probable,
the warning message will be deactivated.

NOTE:
The minimum speed for FCW activation is
3 mph (5 km/h).

The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects
other than vehicles such as guard rails or sign
posts based on the course prediction. This is
expected and is a part of normal FCW activa-
tion and functionality.

It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To prevent
such misuse of the system, after four Active
Braking events within a key cycle, the Active Braking portion of FCW will be deactivated
until the next Key Cycle.

The FCW system is intended for on-road
use only. If the vehicle is taken off-road,
the FCW system should be deactivated to
prevent unnecessary warnings to the
surroundings.
FCW may not react to irrelevant objects
such as overhead objects, ground reflec-
tions, objects not in the path of the
vehicle, stationary objects that are far
away, oncoming traffic, or leading vehicles
with the same or higher rate of speed.
FCW will be disabled like ACC, with the
unavailable screens.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not
intended to avoid a collision on its own,
nor can FCW detect every type of potential
collision. The driver has the responsibility
to avoid a collision by controlling the
vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to
follow this warning could lead to serious
injury or death.

Turning FCW On or Off
The default status of FCW is “on”, this allows
the system to warn you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you.
The FCW button is located in the Uconnect
display in the control settings. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner's Manual for further information.
To turn the FCW system on, press the
forward collision button once.
To turn the FCW system off, press the
forward collision button once.
NOTE:
When the FCW is “on”, this allows the
system to warn the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front.

When the FCW is “off”, this prevents the
system from warning the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front. If the FCW
is set to “off”, “FCW OFF” will be displayed
in the instrument cluster display.

When FCW status is set to “Only
Warning”, this prevents the system from
providing limited active braking, or addi -tional brake support if the driver is not
braking adequately in the event of a poten
-
tial frontal collision.
When FCW status is set to “Warning and
Braking”, this allows the system to warn
the driver of a possible collision with the
vehicle in front using audible/visual warn -
ings and it applies autonomous braking.

The system will retain the last setting selected
by the driver after ignition shutdown.

FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity

The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking status are
programmable through the Uconnect System.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in
the Owner’s Manual for further information.

Far
When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the “Far” setting and the system
status is “Only Warning”, this allows
the system to warn the driver of apossible more distant collisions with
the vehicle in front using audible/ visual warnings.
More cautious drivers that do not mindfrequent warnings may prefer this setting.
Medium
When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the “Medium” setting and the system
status is “Only Warning”, this allows
the system to warn the driver of apossible collision with the v ehicle in
front using audible/visual warnings.
Near
When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the “Near” setting and the system
status is “Only Warning”, this allows
the system to warn the driver of apossible closer collision with the
vehicle in front using audible/visual
warnings.
This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” and “Medium”
settings, which allows for a moredynamic driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this setting.

FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster displays “ACC/FCW
Limited Functionality” or “ACC/FCW Limited
Functionality Clean Front Windshield”
momentarily, there may be a condition that
limits FCW functionality. Although the
vehicle is still drivable under normal condi-
tions, the active braking may not be fully
available. Once the condition that limited
the system performance is no longer present,
the system will return to its full performance
state. If the problem persists, see an autho -
rized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument
cluster displays:
ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required
Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system
fault. Although the vehicle is still drivable
under normal conditions, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
FCW Sensor Protective Cover
Your vehicle is equipped with a protective
cover that is to be used whenever the wind -
shield is folded down in order to protect the
FCW sensor. To install the cover, follow the
instructions below.
1. Secure the top part of the cover so that it hinges to the header.
2. Swing the cover down and push on it so that it covers the opening.
3. Check to make sure the cover is secured properly.
NOTE:
Be sure to remove the cover before returning
the windshield to the normal position. Store
the cover in the cargo area.
Cleaning Instructions
During windshield down applications, dust/
dirt can accumulate in the cover and block
the camera lens. Use a microfiber cloth to
clean the camera lens, module, and inside
cover, being careful not to damage or scratch
the module.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
will warn the driver of a low tire pressure
based on the vehicle recommended cold
placard pressure.
NOTE:
The alert warning on the cluster will stay
on until the tire is inflated to the placard
pressure.
The system only warns the tire pressure is
low: it is not able to inflate them.
The tire pressure will vary with temperature
by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F
(6.5°C). This means that when the outside
temperature decreases, the tire pressure will
decrease. Tire pressure should always be set
based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is
defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle
has not been driven for at least three hours,
or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a
three hour period. The cold tire inflation
pressure must not exceed the maximum
inflation pressure molded into the tire side -
wall. Refer to “Tires” in “Servicing And
2020_JEEP_JL_WRANGLER_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 92

93
Maintenance” for information on how to
properly inflate the vehicle’s tires. The tire
pressure will also increase as the vehicle is
driven. This is normal and there should be no
adjustment for this increased pressure.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire
pressure if the tire pressure falls below the
low-pressure warning limit for any reason,
including low temperature effects and
natural pressure loss through the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of
low tire pressure as long as the condition
exists, and will not turn off until the tire pres-
sure is at or above the recommended cold
placard pressure. Once the low tire pressure
warning (Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light) illuminates, you must
increase the tire pressure to the recom -
mended cold placard pressure in order for
the TPMS Light to turn off.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure
may need to be increased up to an additional
4 psi (28 kPa) above the recommended cold
placard pressure in order to turn the TPMS
Warning Light off.
The system will automatically update and the
TPMS Warning Light will turn off once the
system receives the updated tire pressures. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order
for the TPMS to receive this information.

For example, your vehicle may have a
recommended cold (parked for more than
three hours) placard pressure of 33 psi
(227 kPa). If the ambient temperature is
68°F (20°C) and the measured tire pressure
is 28 psi (193 kPa), a temperature drop to
20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tire pressure
to approximately 24 psi (165 kPa). This tire
pressure is low enough to turn on the TPMS
Warning Light. Driving the vehicle may
cause the tire pressure to rise to approxi -
mately 28 psi (193 kPa), but the TPMS
Warning Light will still be on. In this situa -
tion, the TPMS Warning Light will turn off
only after the tires are inflated to the
vehicle’s recommended cold placard pres -
sure value. CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the orig -
inal equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been estab -
lished for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. The TPM
sensor is not designed for use on after -
market wheels, and may contribute to a
poor overall system performance.
Customers are encouraged to use Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) wheels to
assure TPMS feature operation.

Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) sensor to become inop -
erable. After using an aftermarket tire
sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer to
have your sensor function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which
could damage the TPMS sensor.
2020_JEEP_JL_WRANGLER_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 93

SAFETY
94
NOTE:

The TPMS is not intended to replace normal
tire care and maintenance, or to provide
warning of a tire failure or condition.

The TPMS should not be used as a tire
pressure gauge while adjusting your tire
pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Underinflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure using an accurate tire pressure
gauge, even if underinflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of
the TPMS Warning Light.
Seasonal temperature changes will affect
tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor
the actual tire pressure in the tire.
System Operation
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the receiver module.Tire Pressure Monitoring Display
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your
vehicle monthly and to maintain the proper
pressure. The TPMS consists of the following compo
-
nents:Receiver module
Four tire pressure monitoring sensors
Various tire pressure monitoring system
messages, which display in the instrument
cluster
Tire pressure monitoring telltale light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warnings
The TPMS Warning Light will illu -
minate in the instrument cluster
and a chime will sound when tire
pressure is low in one or more of the four
active road tires. In addition, the instrument
cluster will display a "Tire Low" message for
a minimum of five seconds and a graphic
showing the pressure values of each tire with
the low tire pressure values in a different
color.
2020_JEEP_JL_WRANGLER_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 94

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warning

Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with low pres -
sure (those in a different color in the instru -
ment cluster graphic) to the vehicle’s
recommended cold placard pressure value.
Once the system receives the updated tire
pressures, the system will automatically
update, the pressure values in the graphic
display in the instrument cluster will return
to their original color, and the TPMS Warning
Light will turn off. NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure
may need to be increased up to an additional
4 psi (28 kPa) above the recommended cold
placard pressure in order to turn the TPMS
Warning Light off.

The vehicle may need to be driven for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for
the TPMS to receive this information.
Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the TPMS
Warning Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid. The
system fault will also sound a chime. In addi
-
tion, the instrument cluster will display a
"SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM"
message for a minimum of five seconds and
then display dashes (--) in place of the pres -
sure value to indicate which sensor is not
being received. If the ignition is cycled, this sequence will
repeat, providing the system fault still exists.
If the system fault no longer exists, the
TPMS Warning Light will no longer flash, and
the “SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM”
message will no longer display, and a pres
-
sure value will display in place of the dashes.
A system fault can occur due to any of the
following:
Jamming due to electronic devices or
driving next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors
Installing some form of aftermarket
window tinting that affects radio wave
signals
Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings
Using tire chains on the vehicle
Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors

Vehicles With Compact Spare or Non-Matching
Full Size Spare
1. The compact spare tire or non-matching full size does not have a tire pressure
monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS
will not monitor the pressure in the
compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact or non-matching full size spare tire in place
of a road tire that has a pressure below
the low-pressure warning limit, upon the
next ignition cycle, the TPMS Warning
Light will remain on and a chime will
sound. In addition, the graphic in the
instrument cluster will still display a
different color pressure value.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h),
the TPMS Warning Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid. In addition, the instrument cluster
will display a “Service Tire Pressure
System” message for five seconds and
then display dashes (--) in place of the
pressure value. 4. For each subsequent ignition cycle, a
chime will sound, the TPMS Warning
Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds
and then remain on solid, and the instru -
ment cluster will display a “SERVICE
TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM” message for
five seconds and then display dashes (--)
in place of the pressure value.
5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in
place of the compact spare or
non-matching full size, the TPMS will
update automatically. In addition, the
TPMS Warning Light will turn off and the
graphic in the instrument cluster will
display a new pressure value instead of
dashes (--), as long as no tire pressure is
below the low-pressure warning limit in
any of the four active road tires. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in
order for the TPMS to receive this
information. Vehicles With a Full Size Matching Spare
1. If your vehicle is equipped with a
matching full-size spare wheel and tire
assembly, it has a tire pressure moni -
toring sensor, and can be monitored by
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) when swapped with a low pres -
sure road tire.
2. In the event that the matching full-size spare tire is swapped with a low pressure
road tire, the next ignition switch cycle
will still show the TPMS Warning Light to
be on, a chime to sound, and the graphic
display will still show the low tire pres -
sure value in a different color.
3. Driving the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) will turn off theTPMS Warning Light as long as none of
road tires are below the low pressure
warning threshold.
TPMS Deactivation — If Equipped
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with wheel and tire assemblies that do not
have TPMS sensors, such as when installing
winter wheel and tire assemblies on your
vehicle.
2020_JEEP_JL_WRANGLER_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 96

97

To deactivate the TPMS, first replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires
not equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM)
sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for 10 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime,
the TPMS Warning Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on. The instrument
cluster will display the “SERVICE TIRE PRES-
SURE SYSTEM” message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure values.
Beginning with the next ignition cycle, the TPMS
will no longer chime or display the “SERVICE
TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM” message in the
instrument cluster but dashes (--) will remain in
place of the pressure values.

To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
tires equipped with TPMS sensors. Then,
drive the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime,
the TPMS Warning Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then turn off. The instru -
ment cluster will display the “SERVICE TIRE
PRESSURE SYSTEM” message and then
display pressure values in place of the
dashes. On the next ignition cycle the
"SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM"
message will no longer be displayed as long
as no system fault exists.OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features
in your vehicle are the restraint systems:
Occupant Restraint Systems Features
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS)
Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in this
section may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on
others. If you are not sure, ask an authorized
dealer.
Important Safety Precautions
Please pay close attention to the information
in this section. It tells you how to use your
restraint system properly, to keep you and
your passengers as safe as possible. Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimize the risk of harm from a deploying
air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under should
always ride buckled up in the rear seat of
a vehicle with a rear seat.
Warning Label On Front Passenger Sun Visor
2. A child who is not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly (Refer to “Child
Restraints” in this section for further
information) must be secured in the
appropriate child restraint or belt-posi -
tioning booster seat in a rear seating
position.
2020_JEEP_JL_WRANGLER_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 97

SAFETY
98
(Continued)
3. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in arear-facing child restraint) must ride in
the front passenger seat, move the seat
as far back as possible and use the
proper child restraint. Refer to “Child
Restraints” in this section for further
information.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make
sure that you are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical
to allow the front air bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or window. If your vehicle has side air bags, and
deployment occurs, the side air bags will
inflate forcefully into the space between
occupants and the door and occupants
could be injured. 9. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs
to be modified to accommodate a
disabled person, refer to the “Customer
Assistance” section for customer service
contact information.
Seat Belt Systems
Buckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and could cause a
collision that includes you. This can happen
far away from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save
lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of
injuries in a collision. Some of the worst inju -
ries happen when people are thrown from the
vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of
ejection and the risk of injury caused by
striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in
a motor vehicle should be belted at all times.
WARNING!

NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to
the CHILD can occur.

It is advisable to always carry children in
a child restraint system on the rear seat,
which is the most protected position in
the event of a collision.
Should it be necessary to carry a child on
the passenger side front seat in a
rear-facing child restraint system, the
passenger side front air bag must be
deactivated. Always make sure the
airbag deactivation indicator light is illu -
minated when using a child restraint
system. The passenger seat must also be
positioned backward as far as possible to
avoid the child restraint system from
coming into contact with the dashboard.
A deploying passenger front air bag can
cause death or serious injury to a child
12 years or younger, including a child in
a rear-facing child restraint.
