FOUR WHEEL DRIVE -
JEEP ACTIVE DRIVE (4WD)
and JEEP ACTIVE DRIVE
LOW (4WD LOW)

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

The four wheel drive (4WD) is fully
automatic in standard driving mode.

IMPORTANT Changing mode is not
possible when the vehicle speed is
over 120 km/h.

Four-wheel-drive activation

51) 52)

The buttons to activate the four-wheel
drive are located on the Selec-Terrain™
device and can select:

4WD LOCK (fig. 109 versions with

manual gearbox and automatic
transmission): deactivates the function
for disconnecting the propeller shaft,
guaranteeing the immediate availability
of the torque to the rear coupling. This
function can be selected in AUTO mode
and is automatic in the other driving
modes.

4WD LOW (fig. 110 versions with

automatic transmission): it enhances the
"off-road" performance of the vehicle in
all driving modes;

The 4WD LOCK function can be
activated by pressing the dedicated
button or when the selector is rotated
from AUTO to SNOW/SAND/MUD or
ROCK (Trailhawk versions) and 4WD LOW
was not selected before.
The engagement of one function (e.g.
4WD LOW) deactivates the other one
automatically.

IMPORTANT On some versions,
pressing the button 4WD LOW the
4WD LOCK function is automatically
activated as well. If the 4WD LOW
button is pressed again, the 4WD
LOCK function will be activated. If,
however, the 4WD LOCK button is
pressed again, both functions will be
deactivated.

IMPORTANT The 4WD LOW function is
recommended for irregular and
slippery terrain only.

4WD LOW MODE ENGAGEMENT/
RELEASE

4WD LOW mode engagement

With vehicle at a standstill, ignition
device in MAR position or with engine
on, move the gear lever to position D
(Drive), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral) and
press the 4WD LOW button.

J0A0909C

157

On some versions, with mode engaged,
the display shows "4WD LOW". The LED
on the Selec-Terrain™ device may flash
until the end of the engagement.

4WD LOW mode release

The release can occur at any speed
ranging from 0 to 120 km/h.
On some versions, "4WD LOW" on the
display switches off at the end of the
release procedure.
In this case, the LED on the 4WD LOW
button is off.

IMPORTANT

51) The correct operation of the 4WD
function depends on the tyres: all of them
must have the same size, the same type
and the same circumference. Using tyres
with different sizes has negative effects on
the gear change and damages the
components of the transmission.
52) Do not drive at speeds exceeding those
that the road conditions allow for.

SELEC-TERRAIN

DRIVING MODE SELECTION

Turn knob A fig. 111 to select the
desired mode.

IMPORTANT Changing mode is not
possible when the vehicle speed is
over 120 km/h.

AUTO (Automatic): the 4WD mode with

continuous and automatic operation can
be used while driving on road and
off-road. This mode reduces fuel
consumption, because the propeller shaft
can be disconnected, whenever required.

SNOW: this mode can achieve more

stability on slippery or snow-covered
grounds. To be used for driving on-road
and off-road in the case of grounds with
poor grip, such as roads covered by snow.

SAND: off-road driving mode to be

used on surfaces with poor grip, such as
sandy surfaces. The transmission is set
to offer a maximum traction.

MUD: off-road driving mode for

surfaces with poor grip, such as
mud-covered grounds or wet grass.

ROCK (where provided, for Trailhawk

versions only): this mode is only available
if the 4WD LOW mode is activated. The
device sets the car to maximise traction
and give the highest steering capacity on
off-road surfaces featuring a high grip.
This mode guarantees the best "off-road"
performance. This mode must be used to
pass over obstacles at slow speed, such
as large rocks, deep cracks, etc.
When the engine is started, the AUTO
mode is automatically selected (LED on
close to the AUTO wording).
Turning the knob A fig. 111 the LED
close to the AUTO wording comes on

AND

DRIVING

solid. The other LEDs switch on
sequentially, depending on the positions
set on the knob, so that the driver can
understand which is the new required
mode.
Once the required mode is set (LED close
to the wording switched on), just keep
the knob in that position so that the
Selec-Terrain™ system actuates to
engage the wished mode.

STOP/START SYSTEM

The Stop/Start system automatically
stops the engine each time the vehicle is
stationary and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and noise
pollution.

DESCRIPTION

The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
driver assist device which combines the
Cruise Control functions with one for
controlling the distance from the vehicle
ahead.
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) uses a
radar sensor, located behind the front
bumper fig. 115 and a camera, located
in the middle of the windscreen fig. 116,
to detect the presence of a vehicle close
ahead.

There are two operating modes:

“Adaptive Cruise Control”

mode to

maintain an adequate distance between
vehicles (the message “Adaptive Cruise

Control” is shown on the instrument
panel display);

electronic “Cruise Control” mode

to hold the vehicle at a constant

preset speed.
To change the operation mode, use the
button on the steering wheel (see that
described on the following pages).

SETTING THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN VEHICLES

The distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead may be set to 1 bar
(short), 2 bars (medium), 3 bars (long),
4 bars (maximum) fig. 118

The distances from the vehicle ahead are
proportional to speed. The interval of
time with respect to the vehicle ahead
remains constant and varies from
1 second (for the short distance 1-bar
setting) to 2 seconds (for the maximum
distance 4-bar setting).

118

J0A0918C

165

The setting is 4 (maximum) the first time

To decrease the distance

Press and release the

button to

decrease the distance setting.
The distance setting decreases by one
bar (shorter) every time the button is
pressed.
The set speed is held if there are no
vehicles ahead. Once the shortest
distance has been reached, a further
press of the button will set the longest
distance.
The vehicle holds the set distance until:

the vehicle ahead accelerates to a

speed higher than the set speed;

the vehicle ahead leaves the lane or

the detection field of the Adaptive Cruise
Control device sensor;

the distance setting is changed;
the Adaptive Cruise Control device is

deactivated/cancelled.

IMPORTANT The maximum breaking
applied by the device is limited. The
driver may apply the brakes in all
cases, if needed.

IMPORTANT If the device predicts that
the braking level is not sufficient to
hold the set distance, the warning
message “BRAKE!” will blink on the
display while approaching the vehicle
ahead. An acoustic signal is also
emitted. In this case, it is advisable to
brake immediately as necessary to hold
a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

IMPORTANT The driver is responsible
for ensuring that there are no
pedestrians, other vehicles or
objectives along the direction of the
vehicle. Failure to comply with these
precautions may cause serious
accidents and injuries.

IMPORTANT The driver is fully
responsible for holding a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective
country.

DEACTIVATION

The device is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:

the

button is pressed on the

Adaptive Cruise Control;

the

button is pressed on the

electronic Cruise Control;

the Speed Limiter button is pressed;

the ignition device is in the STOP

position;

4WD LOW mode is activated.

The device is cancelled (the set speed
and distance are stored):

when the CANC button is pressed;
when the conditions shown in the

“Setting the desired speed” paragraph
occur;

when the vehicle speed drops under

the minimum set speed (e.g. in presence
of slow vehicles).
If these conditions occur while the
system is decelerating with respect to a
vehicle ahead, the system could continue
the deceleration, if necessary, also after
it is cancelled or deactivated within the
minimum speed settable on the system.

ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL
MODE

Electronic Cruise Control mode is

TING

AND

DRIVING

the device keeps working if the radar

sensor is obstructed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then press the RES button and
release it.

WARNING

134) Pay the utmost attention while
driving at all times and be always ready to
press the brakes if needed.
135) 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.
136) The device is not activated in
presence of pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles in the opposite direction of travel
or moving in the crosswise direction and
stationary objects (e.g. a vehicle standing
in a queue or a broken down vehicle).
137) The device cannot take account of
road, traffic and weather conditions, and
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. fog).

138) The device does not always fully
recognise complex driving conditions that
could cause it to determine the safe
distance to be held incorrectly or not at
all.
139) The device cannot apply the
maximum braking force: the car will not
be stopped completely.

IMPORTANT

54) The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
55) The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
56) 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.
57) 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.

58) Do not tamper with 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.
59) Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.
60) 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.

GENERAL WARNINGS

Some conditions may influence the
performance of the parking system:

reduced sensor sensitivity and a

reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to the
presence of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint,
on the surface of the sensor;

the sensor may detect a non-existent

obstacle ("echo interference") due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle, in rain (strong
wind), hail;

the signals sent by the sensor can

also be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic brake
systems of trucks or pneumatic drills)
near the vehicle;

Parking assistance system

performance can also be influenced by
the position of the sensors, for example
due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock absorbers,
suspension), or by changing tyres,
overloading the vehicle or carrying out
specific tuning operations that require
the vehicle to be lowered.

the presence of a tow hook without

trailer, which may interfere with the
correct operation of the parking sensors.
Before using the ParkSense® system, it
is recommended to remove the
removable tow hook ball assembly and

the relevant attachment from the vehicle
when the latter is not used for towing
operations. Failure to comply with this
prescription may cause personal injuries
or damage to vehicles or obstacles since,
when the continuous acoustic signal is
emitted, the tow hook ball is already in a
position that is much closer to the
obstacle than the rear bumper. If you
wish to leave the tow hook fitted without
towing a trailer, it is advisable to contact
a Jeep Dealership for the relevant system
update operations because the tow hook
could be detected as an obstacle
ParkSense®by the central sensors.

the presence of adhesives on the

sensors. Thus take care not to place
adhesives on the sensors.

WARNING

140) Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always make
sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the
route you want to take. The parking
sensors are an aid for the driver, but the
driver must never allow their attention to
lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds.

170

TING

AND

DRIVING

IMPORTANT

61) The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
62) Only have interventions on the bumper
in the area of the sensors carried out by a
Jeep Dealership. Interventions on the
bumper that are not carried out properly
may compromise the operation of the
parking sensors.
63) Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the area
of the sensors carried out by a Jeep
Dealership. Incorrect paint application
could affect the operation of the parking
sensors.

ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION

To insert the system, press the button
fig. 125: the instructions needed to carry
out the manoeuvre are shown on the
instrument panel screen.

System on: LED light on steady/ System
off: LED off.
The LED lights up also in the case of a
failure to the Active ParkSense® system.
If the button is pressed with the system
faulty, the LED flashes for about
5 seconds, then it stays off.

IMPORTANT The use of wheels of a
different size to those at the time of
vehicle purchase could affect the
system and prevent correct operation.

OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM

When searching for a parking place, the
system uses the side sensors (fig. 126),
which are automatically activated with
engine on and speed below 30 km/h.

During the manoeuvre the driver is also
assisted by information from the parking
sensors (4 front and 4 rear) which
provide further distance information
when approaching obstacles in front of
and behind the vehicle.
If the Active ParkSense® function is
activated after having previously
deactivated the ParkSense® function, the
sensors are activated once more and stay
in this condition only during the parking
movement.
