TPMS deactivation
The TPMS can be deactivated by
replacing the wheels equipped with
TPMS with others that are not (e.g.
when replacing the wheel assemblies
in winter), if the country of purchase
allows it. Then drive the vehicle for at
least 20 minutes at a speed higher than
about 25 km/h. The TPMS will emit an
acoustic warning, the warning light
will flash for about 75 seconds, then will
stay on constantly and the instrument
panel will display the "Tyre pressure not
available" message with some dashes (–
–) instead of the pressure values.
The next time the engine is started,
the system will not emit any acoustic
signal and the display will not show the
message "Tyre pressure not available",
but the dashes (– –) will be still
displayed instead of the pressure value.

WARNING
65) The system is an aid for car driving,
it DOES NOT warn the driver about
incoming cars outside of the detection
areas. The driver must always maintain a
sufficient level of attention to the traffic
100
and road conditions and for controlling
the trajectory of the vehicle.
66) The system is an aid for the driver,
who must always pay full attention while
driving. The responsibility always rests
with the driver, who must take into
account the traffic conditions in order to
drive in complete safety. The driver must
always maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front.
67) If the driver depresses the brake
pedal fully or carries out a fast steering
during system operation, the automatic
braking function may stop (e.g. to allow
a possible manoeuvre to avoid the
obstacle).
68) The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. People,
animals and things (e.g. pushchairs) are
not taken into consideration.
69) If the car must be placed on a
roller bench for maintenance or if it is
washed in an automatic car wash 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.
70) 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 tyre failure.
71) 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.
72) 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.
73) 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.
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
