67) The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. People, animals
and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken
into consideration.
68) If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if it
is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part
(e.g. another car, a wall or another
obstacle), the system may detect its
presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
settings of the Uconnect™system.
69) The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular checks
of the tyre pressure, including for the spare
wheel, and correct maintenance: the
system is not used to signal a possible fault
to a tyre.
70) Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres rested and cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason to check
pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than the
prescribed value. Repeat the check when
the tyres are cold.
71) 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.
72) The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts). In this
case, stop the vehicle, braking with caution
and avoiding abrupt steering.
73) Replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa requires TPMS system
adjustment that must only be performed by
Jeep Dealerships.

74) Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The system
may temporarily indicate insufficient
pressure. In this case, check the tyre
pressure when cold and, if necessary,
restore the inflation values.
75) When a tyre is removed, it is advisable
to replace the rubber valve seal as well:
contact 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. Contact
a Jeep Dealership.
IMPORTANT
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 with 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.
