If the car battery is flat and the ignition
key is engaged, the latter is locked in
position.
Versions with a Start&Stop system: in
order to switch off the engine, the
car needs to be stopped by applying
appropriate pressure on the brake pedal.
If the pressure is not sufficient, the
engine will not switch off. This feature
can be exploited so that the engine
does not switch off in particular traffic
conditions.
Removing the ignition key
The ignition key can be removed only if
the gear lever is in position P:
if the engine is switched off with the
gear lever in position P: the ignition key
can be removed within 30 seconds;
if the engine is switched off with the
gear lever in a position other than P: move
the lever to P within 5 seconds. Then it
will be possible to remove the ignition
key for about 30 seconds.
In both cases, if the described
conditions and times are not respected,
the ignition key will be automatically
locked.
To remove the ignition key, turn it to
MAR and then to STOP repeating the
J0A0022C
procedure described above.
"RECOVERY" FUNCTIONS
In case of a gear lever failure, the
instrument panel display could show a
dedicated message recommending that
the driver continues driving without
shifting the lever to the P position.
In this case, the transmission will keep a
forward gear (with reduced performance)
even positioning the lever to R or N.
Once you have put the lever in the P
position, or after you have turned off the
car, you will not be able to select R nor
any of the forward gears. In this case,
contact a Jeep Dealership.
WARNING
123) Never leave children unattended in
the car. Always remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the car and take it
with you.
IMPORTANT
40) If the car is on a gradient, always
engage the electric parking brake
BEFORE placing the gear lever in P.
41) Engage reverse only with the car
stationary, engine at idling speed and
accelerator fully released.
