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).

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.

These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the information in this chapter in the event of a failure indication. IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: serious and less serious failures. Serious faults are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause of the failure is eliminated.

The symbol does not switch on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require that the driver is notified. To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle in motion until the regeneration process is over. On average, the process lasts 15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed above 2000 rpm. When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate a vehicle failure and thus it should not be taken to a workshop. On some versions, together with the symbol switching on, the display shows a dedicated message.

22)

WARNING

22) Vehicle travel speed should always be adapted to the traffic and weather conditions, and must always comply with traffic regulations. The

engine can be stopped even if the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause premature deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason it is always advisable to wait for the symbol to go off before turning off the engine, following the instructions above. It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.

ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)

SAFETY

This system, which is an integral part of the braking system, prevents one or more wheels from locking and slipping in all road surface conditions, irrespective of the intensity of the braking action, ensuring that the vehicle can be controlled even during emergency braking and optimising stopping distances.

System intervention

The driver can feel that the ABS system has come into action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system gets noisier: this is entirely normal with the system operating.

31) 32) 33) 34) 35) 36) 37)

DTC (Drag Torque Control) SYSTEM

The system intervenes in the event of sudden downshifting, or during ABS braking, restoring torque to the engine and thus preventing excessive drag at the drive wheels, which may lead the wheels to lock and a loss of vehicle stability, above all in low-grip conditions.

ESC (Electronic Stability Control) SYSTEM

The ESC system improves the directional control and stability of the vehicle in various driving conditions, correcting understeer and oversteer, distributing the brake force on the appropriate wheels.

System intervention

The intervention of the system is indicated by the flashing of the

warning light on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the vehicle is in critical stability and grip conditions.

38) 39) 40) 41) 42)

TC (Traction Control) SYSTEM

The system automatically operates in the event of slipping, loss of grip on wet roads (aquaplaning) and acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy roads, etc. on one or both drive wheels.

System intervention

The intervention of the system is indicated by the flashing of the

warning light on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the vehicle is in critical stability and grip conditions.

43) 44) 45) 46) 47)

PBA (Panic Brake Assist) SYSTEM

The PBA system is designed to improve the vehicle’s braking capacity during emergency braking. The brake pedal should be pressed continuously during braking, avoiding intermittent presses, to get the most out of the system. Do not reduce pressure on the brake pedal until braking is not necessary anymore. The PBA system is deactivated when the brake pedal is released.

48) 49) 50)

HSA (Hill Start Assist) SYSTEM

This system is an integral part of the ESC system and facilitates starting on slopes.

System deactivation

The Hill Start Assist system can be deactivated using the display Menu (see the instructions in the "Display" paragraph, "Knowing the instrument panel" chapter).

51) 52)

DST SYSTEM (Dynamic Steering Torque)

The DST function uses the integration of the ESC system with the electric power steering to increase the safety level of the whole vehicle.

53)

ERM (Electronic Rollover Mitigation) SYSTEM

The system monitors the tendency of the wheels to rise from the ground if the driver performs extreme manoeuvres like quick steering to avoid an obstacle, especially in poor road conditions. If these conditions occur, the system intervenes on the brakes and engine power to reduce the possibility that the wheels are raised from the ground. It is not possible to avoid tendency to roll over if the phenomenon is due to reasons such as driving on high side gradients, collision with objects or other vehicles.

54)

TSC (Trailer Sway Control) SYSTEM

The system employs a series of sensors located on the vehicle to identify excessive swerving of the trailer and take the necessary precautions to eliminate it.

System intervention

When the system is active, the

warning light flashes on the instrument panel, the engine power is reduced and braking can be felt on the individual wheels, following the attempt to eliminate the swerving of the trailer. The system is active only with ESC engaged. When the ESC system is deactivated (by pressing the button on the central tunnel), the TSC system is deactivated as well.

55) 56)

HDC (Hill Descent Control) SYSTEM

(where provided)

It is an integral part of the ESC system and is aimed at keeping the vehicle at a constant speed during a descent, operating autonomously on the brakes in various ways at the same time. In this way the vehicle stability and completely safe driving are guaranteed, above all in poor grip conditions and steep descents.

Enabling the system

To enable the system, press the button fig. 53: The system is enabled if the following conditions are met:

J0A0154C

❒ the Selec-Terrain™ device is in 4WD LOW mode;

❒ the vehicle speed is below 25 km/h; ❒ the electric parking brake (EPB) is

deactivated; ❒ the driver side door is closed.

Activation of the system

Once enabled, the HDC system will activate automatically if the vehicle is driven downhill on a steep slope, higher than 8%. The speed set for the HDC system can be adjusted using the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal (in the 1–25 km/h range). Once the desired speed is reached, when both pedals are released the HDC system will maintain the set speed. In this way, the driver can adjust the speed and, if necessary, reassume control of the vehicle.

With gear lever in neutral, speed adjustment using the accelerator pedal is not available. The driver can cancel the intervention of

SAFETY

the HDC system at any time by completely depressing the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.

System deactivation

The HDC system is deactivated, but remains available, if one of the following conditions is met:

❒ the speed of the vehicle exceeds 25 km/h but remains below 40 km/h;

❒ the vehicle is on a descent with insufficient gradient, below 8%, or a level surface, or is going uphill;

❒ the gear lever is in P (Park) position.

Disabling the system

The system is deactivated and disabled if one of the following conditions is met:

❒ button press fig. 53; ❒ activation of mode other than 4WD

LOW; ❒ electric parking brake (EPB)

engagement;

❒ driver side door open; ❒ speed of 40 km/h exceeded

(immediate exit from HDC function).

57) 58)

DISABLING ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS

Depending on the versions, there are 3 configurations for the active safety systems on the vehicle:

❒ systems enabled; ❒ systems partially disabled; ❒ systems disabled.

Systems enabled

All active safety systems are enabled. This is the normal operating mode when driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle. This mode should be used in most driving conditions. The system will be in "Systems enabled" mode every time the engine is started. IMPORTANT You are advised to select "Systems partially disabled" or "Systems disabled" modes only for specific driving requirements.

Systems partially disabled

By pressing the

button on the central tunnel fig. 54 for fewer than 5 seconds when driving, the TSC system can be disabled and the intervention of the TC system can be limited to braking action on the individual drive wheels. The other systems remain enabled.

Activation of this mode is indicated by the

warning light on the instrument panel switching on (on some versions, together with a message on the display).

J0A0282C

To restore "All systems enabled" operating mode, press the button on the central tunnel again. "Systems completely enabled" mode will automatically reactivate every time the engine is started. IMPORTANT When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may be helpful to activate "Systems partially disabled" mode: in these conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when moving off makes it possible to obtain better traction.

Systems disabled

Pressing the

button on the central tunnel for more than 5 seconds completely deactivates the ESC system, as well as the TSC and ERM systems; the TC system will be limited to braking action on the individual drive wheels. The other systems remain enabled. Activation of this mode is highlighted by the

warning light on the instrument panel switching on (on some versions, together with a message on the display). IMPORTANT If a speed of approximately 65 km/h (40 mph) is exceeded, the systems will behave as described for "Systems partially disabled" mode. To restore "Systems enabled" operating mode, press the button on the central tunnel again. "Systems enabled" mode will automatically reactivate every time the engine is started.

Versions with Selec-Terrain™ device

On versions with Selec-Terrain™ device, the activation of certain driving modes partially or totally deactivates certain active safety systems in order to optimise performance in the specific mode.

When active safety systems are partially or totally deactivated, the

warning light will turn on in the instrument panel. In "SAND" and "MUD" modes, the active safety systems are partially disabled and fine-tuned to ensure maximum performance in the specific operating modes. It is in any case possible to reactivate them completely at any time by pressing the

button on the central tunnel should you wish to favour safety over "off-road" performance. IMPORTANT In 4WD LOW modes, the active safety systems are completely disabled in order to ensure maximum off-road driving performance and it will not be possible to reactivate them.

59) 60) 61) 62)

WARNING

31) When the ABS intervenes and you feel

the brake pedal pulsating, do not reduce the pressure, but hold it down firmly and confidently; in doing so you will brake in the shortest distance possible, depending on the current road conditions.

32) For maximum efficiency of the braking system, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is required: during this period it is advisable to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.

33) If the ABS intervenes, this indicates that the grip of the tyres on the road is nearing its limit: you must slow down to a speed compatible with the available grip.

34) The ABS can’t overrule the natural laws of physics, and can’t increase the grip available according to the condition of the road.

35) The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those due to excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.

36) The capability of the ABS must never be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in such a way as to compromise personal safety and the safety of others.

37) For the correct operation of the ABS, the tyres must of necessity be the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect condition and, above all, of the prescribed type and size.

38) The ESC system cannot alter the natural laws of physics, and cannot increase grip, which depends on the condition of the road.

39) The ESC system cannot prevent accidents, including those due to excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.

40) The capability of the ESC system must never be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in such a way as to compromise personal safety and the safety of others.

41) For the correct operation of the ESC system, the tyres must of necessity be the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect condition and, above all, of the prescribed type and size.

42) ESC performance features must not induce the driver to take unnecessary or unfounded risks. Your driving style must always be suited to the road conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any

case, responsible for safe driving.

43) For the correct operation of the TC system, the tyres must of necessity be the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect condition and, above all, of the prescribed type and size.

44) TC performance features must not induce the driver to take unnecessary or unfounded risks. Your driving style must always be suited to the road conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any case, responsible for safe driving.

45) The TC system can’t overrule the natural laws of physics, and can’t increase the grip available according to the condition of the road.

46) The TC system cannot prevent accidents, including those due to excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.

47) The capability of the TC must never be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in such a way as to compromise personal safety and the safety of others.

48) The PBA system can’t overrule the natural laws of physics, and can’t increase the grip available according to the condition of the road.

49) The PBA system cannot prevent accidents, including those due to excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.

50) The capability of the PBA system must never be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in such a way as to compromise the safety of the driver, the other occupants of the vehicle or any other road user.

51) The Hill Start Assist system is not a parking brake; therefore, never leave the vehicle without having engaged the electric parking brake, turned the engine off and engaged first gear, so that it is parked in safe conditions (for further information read the "Parking" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter).

52) There may be situations on small gradients (less than 8%), with vehicle laden, in which the Hill Start Assist system may not activate, causing a slight reversing motion and increasing the risk of collision with another vehicle or object. The driver is, in any case, responsible for safe driving.

53) DST is an aid for driving and does not relieve the driver of responsibility for driving the vehicle.

54) The performance of a vehicle with ERM must never be tested in imprudent or dangerous ways, with the possibility of putting the safety of the driver or other people at risk.

55) When towing trailers, the utmost caution at the wheel is advised. Never exceed the maximum permitted loads (see the description in the "Weights" paragraph in the "Technical Specifications" chapter).

56) The TSC system cannot prevent swerving for all trailers. If the system activates during driving, reduce the speed, stop the vehicle in a safe place and arrange the load correctly to prevent the trailer from swerving.

57) Prolonged use of the system may overheat the braking system. If the brakes overheat, the HDC system, when active, will be gradually deactivated after suitably informing the driver (LED on button off): it can be reactivated only when the brakes have cooled sufficiently. The distance that can be covered depends on the temperature of the brakes and therefore on the gradient, load and speed of the vehicle.

58) The performance of a vehicle with HDC must never be tested in imprudent or dangerous ways, with the possibility of putting the safety of the driver or other people at risk.

59) When "Systems partially disabled" mode is selected, the intervention of the TC function is limited to braking action on the individual drive wheels and the

warning lights switches on in the instrument panel. In "systems partially disabled" mode, the engine torque value that the ESC system may require will not be guaranteed and the stability of the vehicle will therefore be reduced.

60) With "Systems partially disabled" mode selected, the TSC (Trailer Sway Control) system is disabled.

61) Your driving style must always be suited to the road conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any case, responsible for safe driving.

62) When "Systems disabled" mode is selected, the ESC system will not be available in the event of emergency manoeuvres. "Systems disabled" mode is only for off-road use.

AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS

BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring) SYSTEM

(where provided)

The system uses two radar sensors, located in the rear bumper (one for each side - see fig. 55), to detect the presence of vehicles (vehicles, trucks, motorbikes, etc.) in the rear side blind spots of your vehicle.

J0A0220C

The system warns the driver about the presence of vehicles in the detection area by lighting up, on the relevant side, the warning light located on the door mirror fig. 56, along with an acoustic warning. When the vehicle is started the warning light turns on to signal the driver that the system is active.

J0A0217C

Sensors

The sensors are activated engaging any forward gear at a speed higher than about 10 km/h, or engaging the reverse gear. The sensors are temporarily deactivated with vehicle at a standstill and the gear lever in position P (Park) (versions with automatic transmission), or with vehicle at a standstill and electric parking brake engaged (versions with manual gearbox).

The detection area of the system covers about a lane on both sides of the vehicle (around 3 metres). This area begins from the door mirror and

SAFETY

extends for about 6 metres towards the rear part of the vehicle. When the sensors are active the system monitors the detection areas on both sides of the vehicle and warns the driver about the possible presence of vehicles in these areas. While driving the system monitors the detection area from three different input points (side, rear and front) to check whether a signal needs to be sent to the driver. The system can detect the presence of a vehicle in one of these three areas.

Important

63)

The system does not signal the presence of fixed object (e.g. safety barriers, poles, walls, etc.). However, in some circumstances, the system may activate in the presence of these objects. This is normal and does not indicate a system malfunction. The system does not warn the driver about the presence of vehicles coming from the opposite direction, in the adjacent lanes. If a trailer is hitched to the vehicle, the system automatically deactivates.

The rear bumper area where the radar sensors are located must stay free from snow, ice and dirt gathered from the road surface for the system to operate correctly. Do not cover the rear bumper area where the radar sensors are located with any object (e.g. adhesives, bike rack, etc.). Rear view: the system detects vehicles approaching to the rear part of your vehicle on both sides and entering the rear detection area with a speed delta lower than 50 km/h with respect to your vehicle. Overtaking vehicles: if another vehicle is overtaken slowly (with a speed delta lower than about 25 km/h) and this stays in the blind spot for about 1.5 seconds, the warning light on the door mirror of the corresponding side lights up. If the speed delta between the two vehicles is higher than about 25 km/h, the warning light does not light up.

RCP (Rear Cross Path detection) system

This system helps the driver during reverse manoeuvres in the case of reduced visibility. During "RCP" operating mode, the system emits acoustic and visual warnings if the presence of an object is detected. When an acoustic warning is sent, the Uconnect™ volume is lowered. The system can be activated/ deactivated through the display Menu or the Uconnect™ system. The system monitors the rear detection areas on both sides of the vehicle, to detect objects moving towards the sides of the vehicle at a minimum speed comprised between about 1 km/h and 3 km/h and objects moving at a maximum speed of 35 km/h, as generally happens in the parking areas. The system activation is signalled to the driver by means of a visual and acoustic warning.

IMPORTANT If the sensors are covered by objects or vehicles, the system will not warn the driver.

"Blind spot alert", "Visual" mode: when this mode is active, the BSM system sends a visual warning to the relevant door mirror, according to the detected object. When operating in RCP mode, the system sends visual and acoustic warnings when the presence of an approaching object is detected. When an acoustic warning is sent, the Uconnect™ volume is lowered.

"Blind spot alert", "Visual & acoustic" mode: when this mode is

active, the BSM system sends a visual warning to the relevant door mirror, according to the detected object. If the direction indicator on the side where an obstacle has been detected is activated, an acoustic warning is emitted as well. When the acoustic warning is emitted, the Uconnect™ volume is lowered.

"Blind spot alert" function deactivation: when the system is

deactivated ("Blind spot alert" mode at "OFF"), the BSM or RCP systems will not emit neither acoustic nor visual warnings. The BSM system will store the operating mode running when the engine was switched off: each time the engine is started, the operating mode stored previously will be recalled and used.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING PLUS SYSTEM

64) 65) 66) 67)

23) 24) 25) 26) 27) 28) 29) 30) 31)

It comprises a radar located behind the front bumper fig. 57 and a camera located in the central part of the windscreen fig. 58.

J0A0334C

In the event of an imminent collision the system intervenes by automatically braking the vehicle to prevent the crash or reduce its effects.

J0A0241C

The system may lightly brake to warn the driver if a possible frontal accident is detected. Signals and limited braking are intended to allow the driver to react promptly, in order to prevent or reduce the effects of a potential accident.

Versions equipped with Stop/Start system: at the end of the automatic

braking, the Stop/Start system will activate as described in paragraph "Stop/Start system" of this chapter.

Versions equipped with manual gearbox: at the end of the automatic

braking the engine may stall and turn off, unless the clutch pedal is pressed.

Versions equipped with automatic transmission: at the end of the

braking, the latest stored gear is engaged: the vehicle may restart after a few seconds from the automatic stop. IMPORTANT After the vehicle is stopped, the brake calipers may be locked for about 2 seconds for safety reasons. Make sure you press the brake pedal if the vehicle moves slightly forwards.

SAFETY

Activation/deactivation

The Forward Collision Warning Plus system can be deactivated (and then reactivated) via the Uconnect™ system. The system can also be deactivated bringing the ignition device to MAR. IMPORTANT The system status can be changed with vehicle at a standstill only.

Activation/deactivation

If the Forward Collision Warning Plus system has been correctly activated with the Uconnect™ system, this will be active each time the engine is started. To deactivate the system, hold the

button on the central tunnel pressed. Following a deactivation, the system will not warn the driver about the possible collision with the preceding vehicle, regardless of the setting selected with the Uconnect™ system. To reactivate the system press the

button again. The system only works if:

❒ it is activated via the Uconnect™ system;

❒ it has not been deactivated with a long press of the

button;

❒ the ignition device is at MAR;

❒ the vehicle speed is between 7 and

200 km/h; ❒ the front seat belts are fastened.

System limited operation signal

If the dedicated message is displayed, a condition limiting the system operation may have occurred. The possible reasons of this limitation are something blocking the camera view or a fault. If an obstruction is signalled, clean the area of the windscreen indicated in fig. 58 and check that the message has disappeared. In this case the system might be not completely available. When the conditions limiting the system functions end, this will go back to a normal and complete operation. Should the fault persist, contact a Jeep Dealership.

Driving in special conditions

In certain driving conditions, such as, for example:

❒ driving close to a bend (see fig. 59); ❒ vehicles with small dimensions

and/or not aligned in the driving lane (see fig. 60);

❒ lane change by other vehicles (see fig. 61);

❒ vehicle driving in a transverse way (see fig. 62);

system intervention might be unexpected or delayed. The driver must be very careful, keeping control of the vehicle to drive in complete safety.

J0A0081C

J0A0082C

J0A0083C

J0A0336C

Important

❒ The system has not been designed to prevent impacts and cannot detect possible conditions leading to an accident in advance. Failure to take into account this warning may lead to serious or fatal injuries.

❒ The system may activate, assessing the trajectory of the vehicle, for the presence of reflecting metal objects different from other vehicles, such as safety barriers, road signs, barriers before parking areas, tollgates, level crossings, gates, railways, objects near road constructions sites or higher than the vehicle (e.g. a flyover). In the same way, the system may intervene inside multi-storey car parks or galleries, or due to a glare on the road surface. These possible activations follow the normal operating logic of the system and must not be regarded as faults.

❒ The system has been designed for road use only. If the vehicle is driven off-road, the system must be deactivated, to avoid unnecessary warnings. By selecting the 4WD LOW mode, the system is automatically deactivated. Automatic deactivation is signalled by the dedicated warning light/icon switching on in the instrument panel.

TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)

(where provided)

68) 69) 70) 71) 72) 73) 74) 32)

The TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) signals possible insufficient tyre pressure according to the cold pressure indicated in chapter "Technical specifications". The system comprises a radiofrequency transmitter sensor fitted to each wheel (on the rim inside the tyre), which is able to send information on the inflation pressure of each tyre to the control unit. The system automatically updates and warning light

switches off each time the system receives the updated inflation pressures. The vehicle might need to be driven at a speed higher than about 25 km/h (15 mph) up to 20 minutes for the TPMS to receive this information.

IMPORTANT The TPMS is designed for original tyres and wheels. Pressure and alarms signalled by the TPMS are defined according to the size of the

SAFETY

tyres fitted on the vehicle. Using spare wheels of a size, type and/or design different from the original ones may cause an irregular operation of the system and damage the sensors. Aftermarket fitted wheels may damage the sensors. Using aftermarket tyre sealants may damage the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System sensor. If aftermarket tyre sealant is used it is recommended to go to a Jeep Dealership to have the sensors checked. After tyre pressure check and adjustment, always refit the valve plug to prevent humidity and dirt from entering, these may damage the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System sensor.

TPMS check message

If a system failure is present, the

warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on constantly. An acoustic signal is also issued.

TPMS deactivation

The TPMS can be deactivated by replacing the wheels equipped with TPMS with others that are not (e.g. upon replacement of the wheel assemblies in winter). Then drive the vehicle for at least 20 minutes at a speed higher than about 25 km/h (15 mph). The TPMS will emit an acoustic warning, the

warning light will flash for about 75 seconds, then will stay on constantly and the instrument panel will display the "TPMS check" message with some dashes (– –) instead of the pressure values. At the next engine start, the system will not emit any acoustic signal and the display will not show the message "TPMS check", but the dashes (– –) will be still displayed instead of the pressure value.

WARNING

63) The system is an aid for vehicle driving,

it DOES NOT warn the driver about incoming vehicles outside of the detection areas. The driver must always maintain a sufficient level of attention to the traffic and road conditions and for controlling the trajectory of the vehicle.

64) The system is an aid for the driver, who must always pay full attention while driving. The responsibility always rests with the driver, who must take into account the traffic conditions in order to drive in complete safety. The driver must always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

65) If the driver depresses the brake pedal fully or carries out a fast steering during system operation, the automatic braking function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).

66) The system intervenes on vehicles travelling in the same lane. People, animals and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken into consideration.

67) If the vehicle must be placed on a roller bench for maintenance interventions or if it is washed in an automatic roller washing tunnel with an obstacle in the front part (e.g. another vehicle, a wall or another obstacle), the system may detect its presence and activate. In this case the system must be deactivated through the settings of the Uconnect™ system.

68) The presence of the TPMS does not permit the driver to neglect regular checks of the tyre pressure, including for the spare wheel, and correct maintenance: the system is not used to signal a possible fault to a tyre.

69) Tyre pressure must be checked with tyres rested and cold. Should it become necessary for whatever reason to check pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even though it is higher than the prescribed value. Repeat the check when the tyres are cold.

70) Should one or more wheels be fitted without sensors (e.g. if the spare wheel is fitted), the system will no longer be available for the replaced wheel and a warning message will be shown on the display, until the wheels with sensors are fitted again.

71) The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle, braking with care and avoiding sharp steering actions.

72) Replacing the normal tyres with winter tyres and vice versa requires an inspection of the TPMS, which should be carried out only by a Jeep Dealership.

73) Changes in outside temperature may cause tyre pressures to vary. The system may temporarily indicate insufficient pressure. In this case check the tyre inflation pressure with the tyres cold and, if necessary top up the inflation pressure.

74) When a tyre is removed, it is advisable to replace the rubber gasket for the valve: go to a Jeep Dealership. The fitting/ removal of the tyres and/or rims require special care. To avoid damaging or fitting the sensors incorrectly, tyre and/or rim fitting/removal operations should only be carried out by specialised staff. Go to a Jeep Dealership.

WARNING

23) The system may have limited or absent

operation due to weather conditions such as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.

24) The section of the bumper before the sensor must not be covered with adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other object.

25) System intervention might be unexpected or delayed when other vehicles transport loads projecting from the side, above or from the rear, with respect to the normal size of the vehicle.

26) Operation can be adversely affected by any structural change made to the vehicle, such as a modification to the front geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load than the standard load of the vehicle.

27) Incorrect repairs made on the front part of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may alter the position of the radar sensor, and adversely affect its operation. Go to a Jeep Dealership for any operation of this type.

28) Do not tamper nor carry out any intervention on the radar sensor or on the camera on the windscreen. In the event of a sensor failure, contact a Jeep Dealership.

29) When towing a trailer (with modules installed after purchasing the vehicle), a vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on a vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for transport), the system must be deactivated via the Uconnect™ system.

30) Do not wash with high-pressure jets in the bumper lower area: in particular do not operate on the system's electrical connector.

31) Be careful in the case of repairs and new paintings in the area around the sensor (panel covering the sensor on the left side of the bumper). In the event of a frontal impact the sensor may automatically deactivate and display a warning to indicate that the sensor needs to be repaired. Even without a malfunction warning, deactivate the system operation if you think that the position of the radar sensor has changed (e.g. due to low-speed frontal impact as during parking manoeuvres). In these cases, go to a Jeep Dealership to have the radar sensor realigned or replaced.

32) The tyre quick repair kit (TireKit), provided with the vehicle, is compatible with the TPMS sensors. Using sealants different from that in the original kit may compromise its operation. If sealants not equivalent with the original one are used, it is recommended to have the TPMS sensor operation checked by a qualified repair centre.

OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEMS

The most important safety equipment

SAFETY

of the vehicle comprise the following protection systems:

❒ seat belts; ❒ SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system; ❒ head restraints; ❒ child restraint systems; ❒ front airbags and side bags.

Read the information given the following pages with the utmost care. It is of fundamental importance that the protection systems are used in the correct way to guarantee the maximum possible safety level for the driver and the passengers. For the description of the head restraint adjustment see paragraph "Head restraints" in chapter "Knowing your vehicle".

SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver is responsible for respecting, and ensuring that all the other occupants of the vehicle also respect, the local laws in force in relation to the use of the seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts before setting off. The seat belt should be worn keeping the torso straight and rested against the backrest. To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A fig. 63 and insert it into the buckle B, until it clicks into place.

On removal, if the belt jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out again without jerking. To unfasten the seat belts, press button C and guide the seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from twisting.

J0A0168C

75) 76)

The retractor may lock when the vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the retractor mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in the event of sudden braking, collisions or high-speed bends. Wear the rear seat belts as shown in fig. 64.

IMPORTANT When returning the rear seat from the tilted position to the normal operating position, take care to refit the seat belt correctly, in order to guarantee prompt availability every time.

J0A0169C

ADJUSTING THE SEAT BELT HEIGHT

77) 78)

Five different adjustments in height are possible. To carry out height adjustment, from the top to the bottom, press button A (located on both sides of handle B), and slide the handle downwards. The height adjuster moves upwards even without pressing the two buttons A.

J0A0151C

Always adjust the height of the seat belts to fit the person wearing it: this precaution could greatly reduce the risk of injury in the event of collision. Correct adjustment is obtained when the belt passes approximately half way between the shoulder and the neck.

WARNING

75) Do not press button C fig. 63 while

travelling.

76) Remember that, in the event of a violent collision, back-seat passengers not wearing seat belts represent a serious danger to the front-seat passengers as well as to themselves.

77) The height of the seat belts must be adjusted with the vehicle stationary.

78) After the adjustment, always check that the cursor to which the ring is fastened is locked in one of the preset positions. To do this, with button A fig. 65 released, exert

a further pressure to allow the locking device to click if the grip has not been released in one of the possible positions.

SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) SYSTEM

The SBR system warns the passengers of the front and rear (where provided) seats if their seat belt is not fastened. The system signals unfastened seat belts with visual warnings (warning lights on in the instrument panel and icons on the display) and an acoustic signal (see the following paragraphs). NOTE To deactivate the acoustic warning permanently go to a Jeep Dealership. The acoustic warning can be reactivated at any time through the display Menu (see the "Display" paragraph in the “Knowing the instrument panel” chapter).

Operation of front seat belt warning light

When the ignition device is turned to MAR, warning light up for a few seconds, regardless of the status of the front belts. With vehicle at a standstill, if the driver side seat belt or the passenger side seat belt (with occupant seated) is unfastened, the warning light stays on constantly.

❒ if the seat belt is fastened the corresponding icon will be green;

❒ if the seat belt is unfastened the corresponding icon will be red.

If the rear seat belt is unfastened, an acoustic warning (3 "beeps") will be activated along with the relevant icon lighting up in the display. Furthermore the icons will light up again for 90 seconds each time one of the rear doors is closed. The icon will turn green after the corresponding seat has been fastened. The rear seat icons will go out, regardless of the state of the belt (red icon or green icon), approximately 30 seconds after the last signal.

IMPORTANT

As far as the rear seats are concerned, the SBR system will only indicate whether the seat belts are unfastened (red icon) or fastened (green icon), not the presence of any passengers. The warning lights/icons are all off if all seat belts (front and rear) are fastened when the ignition device is at MAR. For the rear seats, the icons will activate after a few seconds after the ignition device has been turned to MAR, regardless of the status of the seat belts (even if the seat belts are all fastened). All the warning lights/icons will come on when at least one belt changes from fastened to unfastened status or vice versa.

PRETENSIONERS

79) 80) 81) 82) 33)

The vehicle is equipped with front seat belt pretensioners, which draw back the seat belts by several centimetres in the event of a strong frontal impact. This guarantees the perfect adherence of the seat belts to the occupant's bodies before the retention action begins. It is evident that the pretensioners have been activated when the belt withdraws toward the retractor. This vehicle is also equipped with a second pretensioner (fitted in the kick plate area). Its activation is signalled by the shortening of the metal cable. A slight discharge of smoke may be produced during the activation of the pretensioner which is not harmful and does not indicate any fire hazard. The pretensioner does not require any maintenance or lubrication: any changes to its original conditions will invalidate its efficiency. If, due to unusual natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.), the device has been affected by water and/or mud, contact a Jeep Dealership to have it replaced.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of protection from the action of the pretensioner, wear the seat belt tight to the torso and pelvis.

LOAD LIMITERS

To increase safety in the event of an accident, the front seat belt retractors contain a load limiter which controls the force acting on the chest and shoulders during the belt restraining action in the event of a head-on collision.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE SEAT BELTS

Respect and ensure that all the other occupants of the vehicle comply with the local laws in force regarding the use of seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts before setting off. Seat belts must also be worn by pregnant women: the risk of injury in the event of an accident is reduced for them and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt.

Pregnant women must position the lower part of the belt very low down so that it passes over the pelvis and under the abdomen fig. 69. While pregnancy

SAFETY

increases, the driver must adjust both seat and steering wheel to have full control over the vehicle (pedals and steering wheel should be easily accessed). The maximum clearance should be kept between the abdomen and the steering wheel.

The seat belt must not be twisted. The upper part must pass over the shoulder and cross the chest diagonally fig. 70. The lower part must adhere to the pelvis, not to the abdomen of the occupant. Never use devices (clips, clamps, etc.) that hold the seat belt away from your body.

J0A0148C

J0A0149C

Each seat belt must be used by only one person. Never travel with a child sitting on the passenger's lap and a single belt to protect them both fig.

71. In general, do not place any objects between the person and the belt.

J0A0150C

SEAT BELTS MAINTENANCE

For keeping the seat belts in efficient conditions, observe the following:

❒ always use the seat belt well stretched and never twisted; make sure that it is free to run without obstructions;

❒ check seat belt operation as follows: attach the seat belt and pull it hard;

❒ replace the belt after an accident of a certain severity even if it does not appear to be damaged. Always replace the seat belt if the pretensioners were deployed;

❒ to clean the seat belts, wash by hand with water and neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade. Never use strong detergents, bleach, paints or any other chemical substance which could damage the belt fibres;

❒ prevent the retractors from getting wet: their correct operation is only guaranteed if water does not get inside;

❒ replace the seat belt when it shows wear or cuts.

WARNING

79) The pretensioner may be used only

once. Contact a Jeep Dealership to have it replaced after it has been deployed.

80) Removing or otherwise tampering with seat belt and pretensioner components is strictly prohibited. Any operations on these components must be performed by qualified and authorised technicians. Always contact a Jeep Dealership.

81) For maximum safety, keep the back of your seat upright, lean back into it and make sure the seat belt fits closely across your torso and pelvis. Always fasten the seat belts for both the front and rear seats! Travelling without wearing seat belts will increase the risk of serious injury and even death in the event of an accident.

82) If the belt has been subjected to high levels of stress, for example after an accident, it should be changed completely together with the attachments, attachment fixing screws and the pretensioner. In fact, even if the belt has no visible defects, it may have lost its resilience.

WARNING

33) Operations which lead to impacts,

vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a maximum of six hours) in the area around the pretensioner may damage or deploy it. Contact a Jeep Dealership should intervention be necessary on these components.

CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEMS

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY

83) 84) 85) 86)

For optimal protection in the event of an impact, all occupants must be seated and wearing adequate restraint systems, including newborn and other children! This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC. Children below the height of 1.50 metres and until 12 years, must be protected with suitable restraint systems and be seated on the rear seats. Statistics on accidents indicate that the rear seats give a better performance when protecting children safety. Compared with an adult, a child's head is larger and heavier in proportion to their body and the child's muscular and bone structures are not fully developed. Therefore, correct restraint systems other than adult seat belts are necessary to reduce as much as possible the risk of injuries in the event of an accident, braking or sudden manoeuvre.

Children must be seated safely and comfortably. Depending on the characteristics of the child restraint systems used, you are advised to keep children in rearward facing child restraint systems for as long as possible (at least until 3–4 years old), since this is the most protected position in the event of an impact. The choice of the most suitable child restraint device depends on the weight and size of the child. There are various types of child restraint systems, which can be secured to the vehicle by means of the seat belts or with the ISOFIX/iSize anchorages. It is recommended to always choose the restraint system most suitable for the child; for this reason always refer to the Owner Handbook provided with the child restraint system, to be sure that it is of the right type for the children it is intended for. In Europe the characteristics of child restraint systems are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into five weight groups:

Group Weight range

Group0 upto10kg

Group 0+ up to 13 kg

Group 1 9–18 kg

Group 2 15–25 kg

Group 3 22-36 kg

The ECE-R44 standard was recently paired with the ECE R-129 regulation, which defines the characteristics of the new i-Size child restraint systems

SAFETY

(see the "Suitability of passenger seats for i-Size child restraint system use" paragraph). All restraint devices must bear the certification data, together with the control mark, on a label solidly fixed to the child restraint system which must never be removed. Lineaccessori Jeep offers child restraint systems for each weight group. These devices are recommended, having been specifically designed for Jeep vehicles.

FITTING A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM WITH SEAT BELTS

The Universal child restraint systems installed with the seat belts only are type-approved on the basis of the ECE R44 standard and are divided into various weight groups.

IMPORTANT The figures are indicative and provided for assembly purposes only. Fit the child restraint system according to the instructions, which must be included.

Group 0 and 0+

Infants up to 13 kg must be carried with a rearward facing child restraint system of a type as shown in fig. 72 which, supporting the head, does not induce stress on the neck in the event of sudden decelerations.

J0A0170C

The child restraint system is secured by the car seat belts, as shown in fig. 72 and it must restrain the child in turn with its own belts.

Group 1

Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may be carried in forward facing child restraint systems fig. 73.

J0A0171C

Group 2

Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the vehicle seat belts directly fig. 74.

J0A0172C

In this case, the child restraint system is used to position the child correctly with respect to the seat belts so that the diagonal belt section crosses the child’s chest and not the neck, and the lower part is snug on the pelvis not the abdomen.

Group 3

For children between 22 and 36 kg, there are dedicated restraint systems that allow the seat belt to be worn correctly. The fig. 75 shows the correct child positioning on the rear seat.

J0A0173C

Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts like adults.

Group 3 22–36 kg U X U

X = Seat not suitable for children in this weight category. U = Suitable for child restraint systems in the “Universal” category, according to European Standard ECE-R44 for the specified “Groups”.

FITTING A ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

90) 91) 92) 93)

The rear side seats of the vehicle are equipped with ISOFIX attachments, for fitting child restraint systems quickly, simply and safely. The ISOFIX system allows the ISOFIX child restraint systems to be fitted, without using the vehicle's seat belt, but directly securing the child restraint system to three anchorages present on the vehicle. Traditional child restraint systems can be fitted alongside ISOFIX child restraint systems on different seats in the same vehicle. To install an ISOFIX child restraint system, attach the it to the two metal anchorages A fig. 76 located where the rear seat cushion meets the backrest, then fix the upper strap (available together with the restraint system) to the dedicated anchorage B located at the bottom behind the backrest. fig. 77 shows an example of a Universal ISOFIX child restraint system for weight group 1.

IMPORTANT The fig. 77 is indicative and for assembly purposes only. Fit the child restraint system according to the instructions, which must be included.

J0A0325C

NOTE When a Universal ISOFIX child restraint system is used, only ECE R44 "ISOFIX Universal” (R44/03 or further upgrades) type-approved child restraint systems can be used (see fig. 78). The other weight groups are covered by specific ISOFIX child restraint systems, which can be used only if specifically tested for this vehicle (see list of vehicles provided with the child restraint system).

SUITABILITY OF PASSENGER SEATS FOR i-Size CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM USE

The rear side seats of the vehicle are type-approved to house the stateof-the-art i-Size child restraint systems. These child restraint systems, built and type-approved according to the i-Size (ECE R129) standard, ensure better safety conditions to carry children on board a vehicle:

❒ the child must be transported rearward facing until 15 months;

❒ child restraint system protection is increased in the event of a side collision;

❒ the use of the ISOFIX system is promoted to avoid faulty installation of the child restraint system;

❒ efficiency in the choice of the child restraint system, which isn't made according to weight anymore but according to the child's height, is increased;

❒ compatibility between the vehicle seats and the child restraint systems is better: the i-Size child restraint systems can be considered as "Super ISOFIX", this means that they can be perfectly fitted in the type-approved i-Size seats, but can also be fitted in the ISOFIX (ECE R44) type-approved seats.

NOTE The vehicle seats, i-Size type-approved, are marked by the symbol shown in fig. 79.

Main recommendations to carry children safely

❒ Install the child restraint systems on the rear seat, which is the most protected position in the event of an impact.

❒ Keep children in rearward facing child restraint systems for as long as possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.

❒ If the passenger's front airbag is deactivated always check the dedicated warning light on the panel located on the dashboard to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.

❒ Carefully follow the child restraint manufacturer's instruction supplied with the child restraint system. Keep the instructions in the vehicle along with the other documents and this handbook. Do not use second-hand child restraint systems without instructions.

❒ Only one child is to be strapped into each restraint system; never carry two children using one child restraint system.

❒ Always check that the seat belts do not rest on the child’s neck.

❒ Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by pulling on it.

❒ While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.

❒ Never allow a child to put the belt's diagonal section under an arm or

❒ Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-one could restrain them in the event of an accident.

❒ In the event of an accident, replace the child restraint system with a new one.

WARNING

83) SEVERE DANGER When a front

passenger airbag is fitted, do not install rearward facing child restraint systems on the front passenger seat. Deployment of the airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the baby regardless of the severity of the collision. 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 an impact.

behind their back.

84) On the sun visor there is a label with suitable symbols reminding the user that it is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if a rearward facing child restraint system is fitted. Always comply with the instructions on the passenger's side sun visor (see the "Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag" paragraph).

85) 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 airbag and side bag must be deactivated through the display main menu (see the instructions in the "Display" paragraph, "Knowing the instrument panel" chapter), verifying activation by checking whether the

in the panel located on the dashboard. Move the passenger's seat as far back as possible to avoid contact between the child restraint system and the dashboard.

86) Do not adjust the front or rear seat if a child is seated on it or on the dedicated child restraint system.

87) Incorrect fitting of the child restraint system may result in an inefficient protection system. In the event of an accident the child restraint system may become loose and the child may be injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint system for newborns or children, strictly comply with the instructions provided by the Manufacturer.

OFF LED has switched on

88) When the child restraint system is not used, secure it with the seat belt or with the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured inside the passenger compartment. In this way, in the case of sudden braking or an accident, it will not cause injuries to the occupants.

89) After installing a child restraint system, do not move the seat: always remove the child restraint system before making any adjustment.

90) Always make sure that the chest section of the seat belt does not pass under the arms or behind the back of the child. In the event of an accident the seat belt will not be able to secure the child, with the risk of injury, including fatal injury. Therefore the child must always wear the seat belt correctly.

91) Do not use the same lower anchorage to install more than one child protection system.

92) If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint system is not fixed to all three anchorages, it will not be able to protect the child correctly. In a crash, the child could be seriously or fatally injured.

93) Fit the child restraint system only when the vehicle is stationary. The child restraint system is correctly fixed to the brackets when you hear the click. Follow the instructions for assembly, disassembly and positioning that the Manufacturer must supply with the child restraint system.

SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) - AIRBAG

The vehicle is equipped with:

❒ front driver airbag; ❒ front passenger airbag; ❒ driver and passenger front side bags

for pelvis, chest and shoulder protection (Side bags);

❒ front and rear side passenger side bags for head protection (window bag).

FRONT AIRBAGS

The front driver/passenger airbags and the driver's knee bag (where provided) protect the front seat occupants in the event of frontal impacts of medium/high severity, by placing the bag between the occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard. Therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not indicate a system malfunction. Driver and passenger front airbags are not a replacement of but complementary to the seat belts, which should always be worn, as specified by law in Europe and most nonEuropean countries.

In the event of impact, those not wearing a seat belt are projected forwards and may come into contact with the bag which is still inflating. The

SAFETY

protection offered by the bag is compromised in these circumstances. The front airbags may not activate in the case of a frontal impact against highly deformable objects not involving the front surface of the vehicle (e.g. wing collision against guard rail) or in the case of the vehicle wedging under other vehicles or protective barriers (e.g. under trucks or guard rails). Failure to activate in the conditions described above is due to the fact that they may not provide any additional protection compared with seat belts, so their activation would be inappropriate. In these cases, non-deployment does not indicate a system malfunction.

Rearward facing child restraint systems must NEVER be fitted on the front seat with an active passenger side airbag since in the event of an impact the airbag activation may cause fatal injuries to the transported child. ALWAYS comply with the instructions on the label stuck on the passenger side sun visor fig. 82.

J0A0190C

Deactivating the passenger side airbags: front airbag and side bag

If a child must be carried on the front seat in a rearward facing child restraint system, deactivate the passenger side front airbag and front side bag. Use the display Menu to deactivate.

The LEDs OFF and ON are on the dashboard trim. Moving the ignition device to MAR, the two LEDs switch on for a few seconds. Otherwise, contact a Jeep Dealership. During the first seconds, the activation of the LEDs does not actually show the passenger protection status, but only checks its correct operation. After a test of a few seconds, the LEDs will indicate the status of the passenger airbag protection.

SIDE BAGS

To help increase occupants protection in the event of side impact collisions, the vehicle is equipped with front side bags and window bags.

Side bags

These comprise two bags located in the front seat backrests fig. 85 which protect the pelvis, chest and shoulder area of the occupants in the event of a side impact of medium/high severity. They are marked by the "AIRBAG" label sewn on the outer side of the front seats.

Window bag

This comprises a "curtain" bag housed behind the roof side linings and covered by special trims fig. 86. They are designed to protect the head of front and rear occupants in the event of a side collision, thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface. The deployment of side bags in the event of side impacts of low severity is not required. In the event of a side impact, the system provides best protection if the passenger sits on the seat in a correct position, thus allowing correct window bag deployment.

Important

Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised steam (wash by hand or at automatic seat washing stations). The front and/or side airbags may activate in the event of sharp impacts to the underbody of the vehicle (e.g. impact with steps, pavements, potholes or road bumps etc.). When the airbag deploys it emits a small amount of dust: the dust is harmless and does not indicate the beginning of a fire. The dust may irritate the skin and eyes however: in this case, wash with neutral soap and water. Airbag checking, repair and replacement must be carried out at a Jeep Dealership.

J0A0178C

If the vehicle is scrapped, have the airbag system deactivated at a Jeep Dealership. Pretensioners and airbags are deployed according to different logics on the basis of the type of collision. Failure to deploy of one of the devices does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

J0A0180C

WARNING

94) Do not apply stickers or other objects

SAFETY

on the steering wheel, on the dashboard in the passenger side airbag area, on side upholstery on the roof or on the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger's side dashboard since they could interfere with correct inflation of the airbag and also cause serious injury to the passengers.

95) Always drive keeping your hands on the steering wheel rim so that the airbag can inflate freely if necessary. Do not drive with your body bent forward. Keep your back straight against the backrest.

96) When an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install rearward facing child restraint systems on the front passenger seat. Deployment of the airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the child regardless of the severity of the impact. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger side airbag when a rearward facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. The front passenger seat must also be positioned back as far as possible in order to prevent the child restraint system from coming into contact with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate the passenger airbag as soon as the child restraint system has been removed.

97) Do not hook rigid objects to the coat hooks and to the support handles.

98) Do not rest your head, arms or elbows on the door, windows or the area in which the window bag is located to avoid possible injury during inflation.

Never lean head, arms and

elbows out of the window

100) If the switch on when the ignition device is moved to MAR or if it stays on when driving, there might be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before proceeding, contact a Jeep Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

105) If the ignition device is at MAR, even if the engine is switched off, airbags may be deployed when the vehicle is stationary and hit by another vehicle. Therefore, even if the vehicle is stationary, when an active front passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install rearward facing child restraint systems on the front passenger seat. Deployment of the airbag following an impact could cause fatal injuries to the child. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger side airbag when a rearward facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. The front passenger seat must also be positioned back as far as possible in order to prevent the child restraint system from coming into contact with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate the passenger airbag as soon as the child restraint system has been removed. Finally, remember that if the ignition device is at STOP, no safety device (airbags or pretensioners) will activate following an impact; therefore if these devices do not activate this cannot be considered as signal of the system malfunction.

106) If the airbag failure warning light is faulty this will be signalled by an airbag failure icon lighting up in the instrument panel display with a dedicated message. The pyrotechnic charges are not disabled. Before proceeding, contact a Jeep Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

107) The front airbag deployment threshold is higher than that of the pretensioners. When the impact is between the two deployment thresholds, it is normal that pretensioners only are engaged.

108) The airbag does not replace seat belts, but increases their efficiency. Because front airbags are not deployed for low-speed crashes, side collisions, rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants are protected, in addition to any side bags, only by their seat belts, which must therefore always be fastened.
