Versions equipped with key without remote
control: shift the gear lever to P (Park)
before extracting the key from the
ignition device.
If the conventional battery is flat and
the ignition key is engaged, the latter is
locked in position.
To remove the key manually see the
"Releasing the automatic transmission
and the dual clutch automatic
transmission lever" chapter in the "In
case of emergency” section.
Versions with a Stop/Start system: in order
to switch off the engine, the car needs
to be stopped by applying appropriate
pressure on the brake pedal. If the
pressure is not sufficient, the engine
will not switch off. This feature can be
exploited so that the engine does not
switch off in particular traffic conditions.
Removing the ignition key
The ignition key can be removed only if
the gear lever is in position P:
if the engine is switched off with the
gear lever in position P: the ignition key
can be removed within 30 seconds;
if the engine is switched off with the
gear lever in position P; move the lever
to P within 5 seconds. Then it will be
possible to remove the ignition key for
about 10 seconds.
In both cases, if the described
conditions and times are not respected,
the ignition key will be automatically
locked.
To remove the ignition key, turn it to
ENGINE and then to STOP repeating the
procedure described above.
INDICATIONS ON THE PANEL
With car stationary, driver's side front
door open, brake pedal not pressed,
parking brake not engaged, engine
running and (1), (D) or (R) engaged, the
system activates a message to the panel
and automatically puts the transmission
into neutral (N).
PARKING THECAR
To park safely, with the brake pedal
pressed, P must be engaged and, in case
of parking uphill/downhill, the electric
parking brake must be engaged.
Before releasing the brake pedal, wait
until P appears on the display.
WARNING NEVER leave the car before
having positioned the lever in P.
TOWING THE CAR
Make sure that the transmission is in
neutral (N), checking that the car moves
when pushed, and proceed in the same
way as for towing a normal car with a
manual transmission.
WARNING If the transmission cannot
be put in neutral (N), do not tow the car
and contact a Jeep Dealership. Should
the lever be in P, release it before towing
(see paragraph "Positions of the lever").
"RECOVERY" FUNCTIONS
In case of a gear lever failure, the
instrument panel display could show a
dedicated message recommending that
the driver continues driving without
shifting the lever to the P position.
Under this condition, the transmission
will maintain the forward gear (with
reduced performance) even if the lever is
shifted to R or N. Once the lever is in the
P position, or after shutting down the
car, it will not be possible to select R nor
any forward gear. In this case, contact a
Jeep Dealership.
