STARTING AND DRIVING
142
OFF
Press (3): the cruise control information
display disappears.
MALFUNCTION
In the event of a malfunction, dashes
are displayed flashing and then fixed
(orange) instead of the speed setting.
Have it checked by a Jeep Dealership.
WARNING
181) The cruise control function does not
guarantee compliance with the maximum
authorised speed and the safety distance
between vehicles, the driver remains
responsible for their driving. In the
interest of public safety, only use cruise
control if the traffic conditions enable
vehicles to drive at a steady speed and
maintain an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant while cruise control is
activated. If you press and hold one of the
speed setting modification buttons, your
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the vehicle speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained.
182) Never use the system in the
following situations: in an urban area with
the risk of pedestrians crossing the road;
in heavy traffic (except versions with the
Stop & Go function); on winding or steep
roads; on slippery or flooded roads; in
poor weather conditions; in the event of
restricted visibility for the driver; driving
on a speed circuit; driving on a rolling
road; when using a "space-saver" type
spare wheel; when using snow chains,
non-slip covers or studded tyres.

chapter.
The Adaptive cruise control is an
enhancement of the cruise control with
the additional feature of maintaining a
certain following distance to the vehicle
ahead.
NOTE Primarily designed for driving on
main roads and motorways, this system
only works with moving vehicles driving
in the same direction as your vehicle.
It uses radar and camera sensors to
detect the vehicles ahead fig. 184. If no
vehicle is detected in the driving path,
the Adaptive cruise control will behave
like a conventional cruise control.

JJ000467
The Adaptive cruise control automatically
decelerates the vehicle when
approaching a slower moving vehicle.
It then adjusts the vehicle speed to
follow the vehicle ahead at the selected
following distance. The vehicle speed
increases or decreases to follow the
vehicle ahead, but will not exceed the
set speed. It may apply limited braking
with activated brake lights.
If the vehicle ahead accelerates or
changes lane, the Adaptive cruise control
progressively accelerates the vehicle to
return to the stored set speed. If the
driver operates the turn lights to overtake
a slower vehicle, the Adaptive cruise
control allows the vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle ahead to help
passing it. However, the set speed will
never be exceeded.
The Adaptive cruise control can store
set speeds over 30 km/h for manual
transmission. If the vehicle ahead
is moving too slowly and the selected
following distance cannot be maintained
