Dear Customer,

We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Jeep.

We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way. This vehicle is intended for daily use as well as for specific uses, so even routes and uses not suitable for traditional vehicles on the market can be tackled. Ride and handling capabilities are different from most other vehicles, both on and off road; we thus recommend you to spend all the time necessary to know the vehicle dynamics.

Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best performance from the technical features of your Jeep.

You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and above all with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different road surfaces.

This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and maintenance of your Jeep over time.

After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains onboard the vehicle should it be sold.

In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Jeep offers to its customers, the Warranty Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.

We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at Jeep.

Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

READ THIS CAREFULLY

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification

EN228. Do not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage fundamental components of the supply system.

Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.

For further details on the use of the correct fuel see paragraph "Refuelling the vehicle" in the "Starting and driving" chapter.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Versions with manual gearbox (petrol engines): make sure that the parking brake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress

the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then bring the ignition device to AVV or press the ignition device button and release the key or the button as soon as the engine has started.

Versions with manual gearbox (diesel engines): make sure that the parking brake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then bring the ignition device to MAR and wait for warning lights off. Bring the ignition device to AVV or press the ignition device button and finally release the key or the button as soon as the engine has started.

Versions with automatic transmission: make sure that the parking brake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral), fully depress the brake pedal, then bring the ignition device to AVV or press the ignition device button.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Jeep Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.

and to switch

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the vehicle is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs unchanged in time.

SYMBOLS

Some vehicle components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this component. A plate summarising these symbols can also be found under the bonnet.

ROLL OVER WARNING

The risk of rolling over for off-road vehicles is remarkably higher than for any other type of vehicle. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance and has a higher centre of gravity compared to many other vehicles for transporting passengers, so that it allows a better performance to be reached in a wide range of off-road applications. Anyway, a dangerous driving style can increase the risk of losing control of the vehicle. The vehicle is more subject to the risk of rolling over because of the higher centre of gravity should the driver lose its control. Therefore, avoid tight curves or other unsafe driving conditions that may lead to losing the vehicle control. Failure to comply with these precautions may cause accidents, vehicle rolling over and severe or fatal injuries. Drive carefully. The main cause for severe or fatal injuries is failing to wear driver and passenger seat belts. In the event of rolling over, a passenger not wearing the seat belt is much more likely to be fatally injured than a passenger wearing it correctly. Always fasten the seat belts.

VEHICLE CHANGES/ALTERATIONS

IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be properly specified in the text. The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, some controls position or construction is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure. To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook. Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is anyway a textual indication of the current chapter at the side of each even page.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle. There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which could cause accidents or injuries. Therefore all WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS must always be carefully followed. WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:

personal safety;

vehicle safety;

environmental protection.

NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number. That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle starts here.

The booklet that you are reading simply and directly explains how it is made and how it works.

That’s why we advise you to read it seated comfortably on board, so that you can see immediately what is described here for yourself.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

SENTRY KEY®

The Sentry 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, the Sentry Key® system identifies the code transmitted by the key. If the code is recognised as valid, the Sentry Key® system enables engine starting. When the ignition device is brought back to STOP, the Sentry 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 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, bring the 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 this means that the system is running a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage drop).

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WIPER

WINDSCREEN WIPER/WASHER

20) 7) 8)

This operates only with the ignition device at MAR.

Ring nut A fig. 29 can be set to the following positions:

windscreen wiper off.

intermittent operation (low speed)

intermittent operation (high speed);

LOW

continuous slow operation.

HIGH

continuous fast operation.

J0A0071C

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. This function is useful to remove small deposits of dust from the windscreen, or morning dew.

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 ring nut A in position 1

or 2

, the windscreen wiper will automatically adapt its operating speed to the speed of the vehicle.

"Smart washing" function

Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable position) to operate the windscreen washer. Keep the stalk pulled to activate both the windscreen washer jet and the windscreen wiper with a single movement; the latter turns on automatically. The wiper stops working three strokes after the stalk is released. A further stroke after approximately 6 seconds completes the cycle.

RAIN SENSOR

(where provided)

This is located behind the interior rear view mirror, in contact with the windscreen and can detect the presence of rain and, consequently, manage the cleaning of the windscreen in accordance with the amount of water on the screen.

Activation/deactivation

9) 10)

By acting on the display menu or on the Uconnect™ system you can activate/deactivate the rain sensor. The sensor can also be deactivated by bringing the ignition device to STOP. The activation of the sensor is signalled by a "stroke" to show that the command has been acquired. If the ignition device is moved to STOP position, leaving the ring nut A fig. 29 in 1

or 2

, when the vehicle is next started (ignition device at MAR), no wiping cycle occurs even if it rains.

REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER

Activation

Turn ring nut B fig. 29 from position O to position

to operate the rear

window wiper as follows: ❒ in intermittent mode when the

windscreen wiper is not operating;

❒ in synchronous mode (at half the speed of the windscreen wiper) when the windscreen wiper is operating;

❒ in continuous mode with reverse gear engaged and the control active. Position 1

: intermittent operation

(low speed). Position 2

: continuous slow operation. With reverse gear engaged and windscreen wiper on, the rear window wiper is activated in continuous mode. Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard (unstable position) will activate the rear window washer jet. Keep the stalk pushed for more than half a second to activate the rear window wiper as well. Releasing the stalk will activate the smart washing function, as described for the windscreen wiper.

Deactivation

Release the lever.

WARNING

20) Make sure the device is switched off

whenever the windscreen must be cleaned.

WARNING

7) Do not use the screen wiper 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 the vehicle is restarted, contact a Jeep Dealership.

8) Do not operate the windscreen wiper with blades lifted from the windscreen.

9) Do not activate the rain sensor while washing the vehicle in an automatic washing system.

10) If ice is found on the windscreen, make sure that the device was disconnected properly.

IMPORTANT Do not affix 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 internal air recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the possibility of the windows misting.

Additional heater

(where provided)

The additional heater ensures more rapid passenger compartment heating. It activates in cold weather conditions, if the following conditions are verified:

❒ outside temperature low; ❒ engine coolant temperature low; ❒ engine on; ❒ fan speed set at least to 1st speed; ❒ knob C turned completely clockwise

to red section. The heater is switched off when at least one of the conditions above is no longer verified.

Note The power of the electric heater is modulated according to the battery voltage.

WARNING

2) The system uses R1234YF coolant,

which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Under no circumstances use R134a and R12 fluids, which are incompatible with the components of the system.

Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers. This air distribution setting heats the passenger compartment most quickly, giving a prompt sensation of warmth.

Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers (hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents (cooler air). This distribution setting is useful in spring and autumn on sunny days.

Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers and windscreen and front side window defrosting/demisting diffusers. This distribution setting allows the passenger compartment to be warmed up efficiently and prevents the windows from misting up.

Air flow distribution between windscreen demisting/defrosting diffusers and side and central dashboard vents. This allows air to be sent to the windscreen in conditions of strong sunlight.

Air flow distribution to all diffusers on the vehicle.

In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages air distribution (the LEDs on buttons H are off). When set manually, the air distribution is shown by the LEDs on the selected buttons. In combined function mode the relevant function is enabled simultaneously with those already set by pressing the corresponding button. If a button whose function is already active is pressed, its operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED switches off. To restore automatic control of the air distribution after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.

NOTES

The automatic climate control manages the Stop/Start system (engine off and vehicle at a standstill) in order to guarantee sufficient comfort inside the vehicle. In particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to limit the use of the Stop/Start system to prevent the compressor from continuously switching on and off, with consequent rapid misting of the windows and accumulation of humidity with unpleasant smells in the passenger compartment.

When the Stop/Start system is on (engine off and vehicle at a standstill), the automatic recirculation management is turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows misting up (as the compressor is off).

ELECTRIC WINDOWS
