The brake fluid level must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.
If fluid level is below
MIN
seek the
assistance of a Jeep Dealership.
Conventional battery
The conventional battery is maintenance-
free provided that the driving profile
allows sufficient charging of the battery.
Short-distance-driving and frequent
engine starts can discharge the battery.
Avoid the use of unnecessary electrical
consumers.
Check regularly that the terminals are
correctly tightened (versions without
quick-release terminals) and that the
connections are clean.
WARNING Versions equipped with Stop-
Start are fitted with a conventional lead-
acid battery of specific technology and
specification. Its replacement should be
carried out only by a Jeep Dealership.

Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at an
appropriate recycling collection point.
Laying up the vehicle for more than four
weeks can lead to battery discharge.
Disconnect the clamp from the negative
terminal of the conventional battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off
before connecting or disconnecting the
conventional battery.
Useful advice for extending the life of your
conventional battery
To avoid draining your conventional
battery and make it last longer, observe
the following instructions:
when you park the car, ensure that
the doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly, to prevent any ceiling lights
from remaining on inside the passenger
compartment
switch off all ceiling lights inside the
car: the car is however equipped with a
system which switches all internal lights
off automatically
do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched on
for a long time when the engine is not
running
before performing any operation on the
electrical system disconnect the cable
from the negative conventional battery
terminal. If, after purchasing the car,
you wish to install electrical accessories
which require permanent electrical
supply (e.g. alarm, etc.) or accessories
which influence the electrical supply
requirements, contact a Jeep Dealership,
whose qualified staff will evaluate the
overall electrical consumption
WARNING After the battery is
disconnected, the steering could be
initialised. If so, the warning light
on the instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this procedure
turn the steering wheel all the way from
one end to the other or drive in a straight
line for about a hundred metres.
WARNING If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the
conventional battery is damaged by
sulphation, reducing its capacity and
efficiency at start-up. The battery is also
more prone to the risk of freezing (at
temperatures of
−
10
°
C/14
°
F). Refer to
the "Car inactivity" chapter this section if
the car is left parked for a long time.
