If the vehicle absolutely must drive
through a flooded section of road:
check that the depth of the water does
not exceed 23 cm, taking account of
waves that might be generated by other
users
deactivate the Stop-Start function
(where provided)
drive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h)
do not stop and do not switch off the
engine
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
safety conditions allow, make several
light brake applications to dry the brake
discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your
vehicle, contact a Jeep dealership.
STEERING
If power steering assist is lost because
the engine stops or due to a system
malfunction, the vehicle can be steered
but may require increased effort.

ENERGY/FUEL CONSUMPTION
REDUCTION
Below are some useful tips that allow
you to achieve a reduction in energy
consumption of the high-voltage battery
and a consequent increase in range (for
electric versions) and save fuel and thus
lower the amount of harmful emissions
released into the atmosphere (for petrol
versions).
Car maintenance
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(e.g. engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter, etc.).
Checks and operations should be carried
out in accordance with the "Service
information" (see the "Maintenance and
care" chapter).
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure
is too low, electrical energy or fuel
consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
In addition, carry out this check before
a long journey, at each change of season
and after a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and, where
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or
caravan.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refit summer tyres.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded luggage
compartment. The weight of the car and
its trim greatly affect electrical energy or
fuel consumption and stability.
Loads placement
Spread loads throughout the vehicle.
Place the heaviest items in the boot as
close as possible to the rear seats.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof when they are not used.
These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect
electrical energy or fuel consumption
levels.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and minimise wind resistance (e.g. roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer).
Preferably, use a roof box.
Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The heated rear
window, windscreen wipers and heater
fan require a considerable amount of
energy or fuel; increasing the current
uptake increases electrical energy or fuel
consumption.
Climate control system
Using the climate control system
will increase electrical energy or fuel
consumption: use standard ventilation
when the temperature outside permits.
For electric versions: with the vehicle
connected, carry out temperature pre-
conditioning before setting off.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for
aerodynamic control may adversely affect
air drag and electrical energy or fuel
consumption levels.
