70)

Should one or more wheels be fitted

without sensors (e.g. if the spare wheel
is fitted), the system will no longer be
available for the replaced wheel and a
warning message will be shown on the
display, until the wheels with sensors are
fitted again.

71)

The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre

pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts). In
this case, stop the vehicle, braking with
care and avoiding sharp steering actions.

72)

Replacing the normal tyres with winter

tyres and vice versa requires an inspection
of the TPMS, which should be carried
out only by a Jeep Dealership.

73)

Changes in outside temperature may

cause tyre pressures to vary. The system
may temporarily indicate insufficient
pressure. In this case check the tyre
inflation pressure with the tyres cold and, if
necessary top up the inflation pressure.

74)

When a tyre is removed, it is advisable

to replace the rubber gasket for the valve:
go to a Jeep Dealership. The fitting/
removal of the tyres and/or rims require
special care. To avoid damaging or fitting
the sensors incorrectly, tyre and/or rim
fitting/removal operations should only be
carried out by specialised staff. Go to a
Jeep Dealership.

WARNING

23)

The system may have limited or absent

operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.

24)

The section of the bumper before

the sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.

25)

System intervention might be

unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.

26)

Operation can be adversely affected by

any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.

27)

Incorrect repairs made on the front part

of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may
alter the position of the radar sensor,
and adversely affect its operation. Go to a
Jeep Dealership for any operation of this
type.

28)

Do not tamper nor carry out any

intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event
of a sensor failure, contact a Jeep
Dealership.

29)

When towing a trailer (with modules

installed after purchasing the vehicle),
a vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on
a vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for
transport), the system must be deactivated
via the

Uconnect

™

system.

30)

Do not wash with high-pressure jets in

the bumper lower area: in particular do
not operate on the system's electrical
connector.

31)

Be careful in the case of repairs and

new paintings in the area around the
sensor (panel covering the sensor on the
left side of the bumper). In the event of
a frontal impact the sensor may
automatically deactivate and display a
warning to indicate that the sensor needs
to be repaired. Even without a malfunction
warning, deactivate the system operation
if you think that the position of the radar
sensor has changed (e.g. due to
low-speed frontal impact as during parking
manoeuvres). In these cases, go to a
Jeep Dealership to have the radar sensor
realigned or replaced.

32)

The tyre quick repair kit (TireKit),

provided with the vehicle, is compatible
with the TPMS sensors. Using sealants
different from that in the original kit may
compromise its operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original one are used, it
is recommended to have the TPMS sensor
operation checked by a qualified repair
centre.
