EXHAUST FILTER
Automatic cleaning process
The exhaust filter system filters soot
particles out of the exhaust gases.
The start of saturation of the exhaust
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of accompanied by a
message in the instrument panel display.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
vehicle speed of at least 60 km/h until
the control indicator extinguishes.
NOTE On a new vehicle, the first exhaust
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a burning smell, which
is normal. Following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, water vapour can be emitted at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Cleaning process not possible
If stays on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message, this
indicates that the exhaust filter additive
level is too low.
The reservoir must be topped-up without
delay. Seek the assistance of a Jeep
Dealership.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.
35)
In the event of misfiring, uneven
engine running, a reduction in engine
performance or other unusual problems,
have the cause of the fault rectified by a
Jeep Dealership as soon as possible. In
an emergency, driving can be continued
for a short period, keeping vehicle speed
and engine speed low.
WARNING
67) Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide, which is
colourless and odourless and could be
fatal if inhaled. If exhaust gases enter the
interior of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault rectified by
a Jeep Dealership. Avoid driving with
an open load compartment, otherwise
exhaust gases could enter the vehicle.
IMPORTANT
35) Fuel grades other than those listed
in the "Fuel" chapter could damage
the catalytic converter or electronic
components. Unburnt petrol will overheat
and damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of the
starter, running the fuel tank dry and
starting the engine by pushing or towing.
