(e.g. pushchairs) are not taken into
consideration.
126) 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 vehicle,
a wall or another obstacle), the system
may detect its presence and activate.
Therefore, in this case the system must
be deactivated.
127) 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.
128) 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.
129) 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.
130) 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.
131) 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.
IMPORTANT
33) The system may have limited
operation or not work at all in weather
conditions such as, low sun, heavy rain,
hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
34) System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other cars
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the car.
35) Operation can be adversely affected
by any structural change made to the
car, such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the car.
36) Incorrect repairs in the zone where
the camera is mounted may interfere
with its field of vision and reduce its
performance (e.g. application of fillers or
glues to remove scratches). Go to a Jeep
Dealership for any operation of this type.
37) Do not tamper with nor operate on
the camera on the windscreen. In the
event of a sensor failure, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
38) The TireKit, which comes with
the vehicle, is compatible with the
TPMS sensors. The use of sealants that
are not equivalent to those contained
in the original kit could compromise
functionality. If using sealants that are
not equivalent to original sealants, it is
recommended to have the functionality of
the TPMS sensors checked at a qualified
repair center.
39) The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warnings have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Using spare wheels of a
different sizes, types and/or designs may
cause the system to operate incorrectly
and damage the sensors. The TPM sensor
is not designed for use on aftermarket
wheels and may contribute to a poor
overall system performance or sensor
damage. Customers are encouraged to use
original wheels to assure proper TPMS
feature operation.
40) Using aftermarket tire sealants may
damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) sensor. After using
an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle
to your authorized dealer to have your
sensor function checked.
41) After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which could
damage the TPMS sensor.
