functionality can be enabled or disabled
from the Uconnect™ system Menu.

WARNING

16) All adjustments must be carried out
only with the car stationary and engine
off.
17) It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of
anti-theft device) that could adversely

REAR VIEW MIRRORS

INTERIOR MIRROR

The mirror is fitted with a safety device
that causes its release in the event of a
violent impact with the passenger.
Operate lever A fig. 27 to adjust the
mirror into two different positions:
normal or anti-glare.

electrochromic anti-glaring function.

DOOR MIRRORS

Electric adjustment

18)

Adjusting the mirrors is possible with the
ignition device at MAR and for about
3 minutes after the ignition device
switches to STOP (or also after the
mechanical key has been extracted, for
cars equipped with mechanical key with
remote control). When one of the front
doors is opened this operation is
disabled.

Select the desired mirror using device A
fig. 29:

device in position 1: left mirror

selected;

device in position 2: right mirror

selected.

To adjust the selected mirror, press
button B fig. 29 in the four directions
shown by the arrows.

IMPORTANT To prevent accidental
movement once adjustment is
complete, rotate device A fig. 29 to
position 0.

Electric mirror folding

(where provided)
To fold the mirrors, press button C

fig. 29. Press the button again to restore
the mirrors to the driving position. If
button C is pressed during door mirror
folding (from closed to open position and
vice versa), their movement direction is
reversed.
You can fold or open the mirrors with the
ignition device at MAR and for about
3 minutes after switching the ignition
device to STOP (or also after extracting
the mechanical key, for cars equipped
with a mechanical key with remote
control). When one of the front doors is
opened this operation is disabled.

IMPORTANT While driving mirrors
must always be open and should never
be folded.

Mirrors realignment operation

In case one of the door mirrors has been
moved manually it may occur that the
mirror itself does not retain its position in
a stable way while driving.
In that case it is necessary to carry out
the following realignment operation:

manually close the mirror to the

parking position by folding it from
position 1 to position 2 fig. 30;

operate the mirror opening control C

fig. 29 once or twice to realign the
system and bring both mirrors to the
driving position.

This operates only with the ignition
device at MAR.
Ring nut A fig. 35 can be set to the
following positions:

windscreen wiper off.

fixed intermittent wipe (slow)

speed-dependant intermittent wipe

LO continuous slow operation

HI continuous fast operation

MIST function

J0A0024C

Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST

function: operation is limited to the

time for which the stalk is held in this
position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the
windscreen wiper will be automatically
stopped.
IMPORTANT This function does not
activate the windscreen washer;
windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen washer
fluid onto the windscreen, the washing
function must be used. With the ring A in
position

, the windscreen wiper is not

activated. In position

, the pause time

between the strokes of the windscreen

wiper is 10 seconds, independently of
the vehicle speed. In position

, the

pause time between two strokes is set
according to the vehicle speed: when the
speed increases, the time between two
strokes decreases. In position LO or HI,
the windscreen wiper moves
continuously, i.e. without a pause
between two strokes.

“Smart washing” function

Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
When the stalk is held pulled for longer
than half a second, the windscreen wiper
moves with active control. Releasing the
stalk will activate three strokes.
With the ring A in the LO or HI position,
the smart washing function is not
performed.
The windscreen wiper stops working
three strokes after the stalk is released.
IMPORTANT If the stalk is activated for
less than half a second, only the
windscreen washer jet is activated. Do
not prolong the activation of the "Smart
Washing" function for more than
30 seconds. Do not activate the
windscreen washer control when the
reservoir is empty.

RAIN SENSOR

(where provided)

9) 10)

It is located behind the interior rear view
mirror, in contact with the windscreen,
and can detect the presence of rain and,
consequently, manage the automatic
windscreen wiping mode depending on
the amount of water on the screen (see
the “Automatic Wiping” paragraph).
The sensor will be activated when the
ignition device is turned to MAR, and will
be disabled with the ignition device in
the STOP position.

Automatic Wiping

Activation
You can choose automatic wiping by
selecting the rain sensor from the display
Menu or on the Uconnect™ system and
turning ring A to the

position.

Activation of the automatic wiping
function is signalled by a flick. The same
stroke will be visible every time the
sensor sensitivity is increased, by rotating
the ring nut from position

to position

Inhibition
If the ignition device is turned to STOP,
leaving the ring nut A in position

when the engine is next started (ignition

By operating ring nut B, the rear window
wiper can function in the following
modes:

continuous: when the ring is turned to

the

position;

intermittent: when the ring nut is in

position

and the rear window wiper is

stopped;

synchronous: when the ring nut is in

position

and the rear window wiper is

moving or set to AUTO. In this mode, the
rear window wiper makes one stroke for
each two strokes of the windscreen
wiper;

single stroke: when the ring is in the

position, the windscreen wiper is

active and reverse gear is engaged.
Push the stalk towards the dashboard
(rocking position) to activate the rear
window washer jet. Keep pushing the
lever to automatically activate both the
rear window washer jet and the rear
window wiper with a single movement.

Deactivation

released.

WARNING

21) Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.

IMPORTANT

7) Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. If operation is not
subsequently restored, even after
restarting the engine, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
8) Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
9) Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.
10) Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.

Operation
The automatic dual zone climate control
system regulates the air temperatures in
the passenger compartment in two zones:
driver side and passenger side.
The system maintains comfort inside the
passenger compartment and
compensates for possible variations in
outside weather conditions.
The automatically controlled parameters
and functions are:

air temperature at the driver/front

passenger side vents;

air distribution at the driver/front

passenger side vents;

fan speed (continuous variation of the

air flow);

compressor engagement (for

cooling/dehumidifying the air);

air recirculation.

All these functions can be adjusted
manually by operating the system and
selecting one or more functions and
modifying their parameters.
The temperature of the air sent is always
automatically controlled according to the
temperature set on the display (except

for when the system is off or in certain
conditions when the compressor is not
running).

Notes

Do not apply stickers to the inside of the
heated rear window over the heating
filaments, to avoid damage that might
cause them to stop working properly.
Internal air recirculation makes it
possible to reach the required ("heating"
or "cooling") conditions more quickly
depending on the mode selected. Do not
use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside.
The dual zone automatic climate control
manages the Stop&Start system (engine
off and car at a standstill) in order to
guarantee sufficient comfort inside the
car.
With Stop&Start function on (engine off
and car stopped), the flow is reduced as
much as possible, to keep the
compartment comfort conditions for
longer.
