Symbol What it means
ALTERNATOR MALFUNCTION
If the symbol lights up with the engine running it indicates an alternator malfunction. Please contact your Jeep
Dealership as soon as possible.
DOOR OPEN
The symbol switches on when one or more doors are not completely closed. An acoustic warning sounds when the
doors are open and the vehicle is moving. Close all doors properly.
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) FAILURE
This symbol will illuminate to indicate a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. If the fault is
detected with the car running, the symbol will light up with a fixed or blinking light according to the fault type. Turn
the ignition device with the car at a standstill and with the dual clutch automatic transmission in position P (Park).
The symbol must go off. If the symbol stays on with the car running, it can still be driven but you must seek the
assistance of a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
NOTE This symbol may turn on if the accelerator and brake pedals are pressed at the same time.
Intervene promptly if the symbol keeps blinking with the engine running. You may experience reduced engine
performance, an elevated/rough idle, or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing. The symbol appears when
the ignition device is turned to the RUN position and stays on for a few instance during the bulb test. If it does not
come on when starting contact a Jeep Dealership.
