KNOWING YOUR CAR
64
80) To prevent serious injury or death: Do
not insert objects into the sockets. Do not
touch the power socket with wet hands.
Close the lid when the device is not in
use. If this socket is mishandled it may
cause an electric shock and failure.
IMPORTANT
16) Accessories connected to the power
sockets of the car draw current from the
conventional battery even when not in use
(e.g. mobile phones, etc.). These devices,
if left connected too much time with
engine off, may cause the conventional
battery to drain with following reduction
of its life and/or failure to start the
engine.
17) Accessories that draw higher power
(i.e., coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights,
etc.), will degrade the conventional
battery even more quickly. Only use these
intermittently and with great caution.
18) After the use of high power draw
accessories, or long periods of the car
not being started (with accessories still
plugged in), the car must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the conventional
battery of the car.
19) Power sockets are designed for
accessory plugs only. Do not insert any
other object in the power sockets as this
will damage the socket or blow the fuse.
Improper use of the power socket can
cause damage not covered by your limited
warranty of the new car.
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
(where provided)
DESCRIPTION
On some versions, the car might be
equipped with two longitudinal bars
which, with the addition of special
accessories, can be used to carry various
objects (e.g. skis, surfboards, etc.).
INSTALLATIONOF
TRANSVERSALBARS
The crossbars can only be installed when
the longitudinal bars are present. Refer
to the installation instructions attached
to the transversal bars. For further
information, contact a Jeep Dealership.
Additional roof racks do not increase the
total load capacity of the car. Make sure
that the gross weight of the occupants
and of the load inside the car, plus the
load on the roof rack, does not exceed
the maximum load capacity of the car.

WARNING
81) Cargo must be securely tied down
before driving your car. Improperly
secured loads can fly off the vehicle,
particularly at high speeds, resulting
in personal injury or property damage.
Follow the provided recommendations
when carrying a load on the roof rack.
IMPORTANT
20) Long loads, which extend over the
windscreen, should be secured to both
the front and rear of the car.
21) Place a blanket or other protection
between the surface of the roof and the
load.
22) Travel at reduced speeds and turn
corners carefully when carrying large or
heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind forces,
due to natural causes or nearby truck
traffic, can add sudden upward lift to
loads. It is recommended to not carry
large flat loads, such as wood panels or
surfboards, which may result in damage
to the cargo or your car.
23) Load should always be secured
to cross bars first, with tie-down loops
used as additional securing points if
needed. Tie-down loops are intended as
supplementary tie-down points only.
Do not use ratcheting mechanisms
with the tie-down loops. Check the
straps frequently to be sure that the load
remains securely attached.
