IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ
REFUELING
Petrol engines : only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane number (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228. Do not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause starting and driving issues, as well as damage to
fundamental components of the fuel feed system. For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the car" chapter in the
"Starting and driving" section.
Diesel engines : refuel only with Diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably
damage the engine and, consequently, cause a warranty claim to be refused. For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling
the car" chapter in the "Starting and driving" section.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Versions with manual transmission (petrol engines): make sure that the electric handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress the
clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition device to START and release the ignition device as soon as the engine has
started. On versions with electronic key, the engine is started by pressing the ignition device button.
Versions with manual transmission (Diesel engines) : make sure that the parking electric brake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress
the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to RUN and wait for the warning light to switch off. Turn the
ignition device to START and release the key as soon as the engine starts. On versions with electronic key, the engine is started by pressing the
ignition device button.
Versions with dual clutch automatic transmission : make sure that the electric parking brake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Park) or N
(Neutral), fully depress the brake pedal, then bring the ignition device to START or press the ignition device button.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
When operating, the catalytic converter becomes quite hot. Therefore, do not park your vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable materials: risk of fire.
RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is equipped with a system that allows continuous monitoring of the components linked to emissions to ensure better respect for the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Jeep Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car's electric system can support the required load.
