AND ABILITY
CROSS PATHS IN
JEEP
®PATRIOT
>> AN ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT SENDS JEEP®
PATRIOT FORGING THROUGH TRAFFIC
AND FORESTING OVER TWO-TRACKS,
ALL THE WHILE DISPLAYING AN ICONIC
STYLE MARRIED TO A NIMBLE SKILL. WITH
PATRIOT, YOU GET CABIN COMFORTS AS
WELL, EACH DESIGNED TO TAKE YOU
HAPPILY FORWARD INTO EVERYTHING
THE WORLD HAS IN STORE FOR YOU,
TODAY AND TOMORROW.

Say hello to adventure,
and adios to the everyday.
It’s time to head out and grab
freedom by the wheel.

FIVE PERFORMANCE CATEGORIES
are designed to prove every Jeep®4x4
vehicle's Trail Rated® capability.
>> TRACTION. Trail Rated traction
helps you maintain controlled forward
motion on snowy back roads and icy
bridges. You can climb steep sand
dunes and master muddy two-tracks.
Others may fear untamed terrain,
but your Trail Rated Patriot has the
traction within to master all kinds of
topography and driving conditions.
>> ARTICULATION. Patriot’s suspension
systems enhance on- and off-road
performance by maximizing flexibility,
axle articulation, and wheel travel. This
standard indicates that, when one or
more wheels are elevated, the Jeep
®
4x4 system helps the others stay on
the ground longer to keep you moving.
>> MANEUVERABILITY. Every Patriot
is born with the athletic ability
to navigate narrow gaps, dodge
emergency situations, and avoid
cosmetic damage to underbody
sills, thanks to precision steering
and optimized wheelbases.
>> GROUND CLEARANCE. Head out
knowing that your Trail Rated Patriot
has optimized approach, departure,
and breakover angles designed to
clear logs, rocks, and uneven ground.
Your undercarriage is protected,
too, with forged skid plates that
cover your vehicle’s most valuable
underbody elements.
>> WATER FORDING.
1*Traverse
that stream with confidence, thanks
to additional electrical and body
seals, plus a high air-intake location.
Patriot has the capability to safely
manage in up to 19 inches of water.
Always inspect all waterways before
proceeding, just to make sure there
are no unforeseen pitfalls.
It's the
recognized standard
for off-road capability. The
available Trail Rated® fortitude of Jeep®
Patriot helps protect you from the world
and its worries. On the road or on the
trail, Patriot works to safely get you
through the challenges Mother
Nature sets before you.
*A note about this brochure: All disclaimers and disclosures can be found on the inside back cover.

FREEDOM DRIVE I. Active, full-time 4WD capability with LOCK modefeatures an
Electronically Controlled Coupling (ECC), which constantly monitors wheel slippage
and transfers torque to the axle that can use it most. In tough conditions, the system
can be locked 50/50 front/rear for added low-speed capability and control. Available.
JEEP®PATRIOT GIVES YOU THE FORTITUDE TO
GO ANYWHERE, DO ANYTHING.® IT MOVES WITH
TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED COMPONENTS
THAT WORK TOGETHER TO KEEP YOU
CONFIDENTLY MOVING FORWARD.
2.4L DOHC 16V ENGINE. Say hello to a
workhorse that adds value to every mile. The
available 2.4L DOHC 16V engine heads out to
achieve an EPA-estimated 4x4 fuel economy of
22 city/28 hwy mpg. Not only that, it cranks
out a healthy 172 hp and 165 lb-ft of torque — an
impressive performance for an engine this size.
It's matched to a 5-speed manual 2WD transaxle or
the Continuously Variable Automatic Transaxle II
(CVT2), giving you the option to actively engage
or easily cruise with your powertrain.
2.0L DOHC 16V ENGINE.This
powerhouse zooms off to achieve an
impressive 4x2 EPA-estimated fuel economy of
23 mpg on crosstown city streets and 30 mpg
on the highway. The engine's dual Variable
Valve Timing (VVT) electronically controls both
intake and exhaust valves, four valves per
cylinder (16V total), helping to improve power
and encourage an economic performance.
Both the 2.0L and 2.4L engines feature:
>Intake manifold and exhaust flow control valves
>Dual overhead camshafts
>Four valves per cylinder
>Forged crankshaft and connecting rods
>Aluminum block
>Acoustic oil pan
CVT2. The Continuously Variable Automatic Transaxle II (CVT2) with AutoStick
uses a 30-mm high-strength multilayer steel drive belt and two active V-pulleys
to vary vehicle speed, resulting in a smooth and quiet ride. The AutoStick shifter
puts optimal vehicle performance under your command — a driver-interactive
manual control with six simulated stepped-gear ratios. Available.
FREEDOM DRIVE II. ®Enjoy Trail Rated® freedom thanks to full-time
4WD with LOCK mode, O-Road mode with Hill Descent Control,
and brake traction control. Torque is adjusted on-demand for
added fuel eciency. Its all-weather capability expertly handles
more dicult o-road situations, as well as deeper snow, mud,
and up to 19 inches of water.1Available.
CVT2L. The second-generation Continuously Variable Automatic Transaxle II (CVT2L)
has an integral lower gearing feature that provides the torque multiplication needed
for water fording,
1steep grades, and crawling slowly in o-road events. Includes O-Road
mode that delivers an o-road capable 19:1 crawl ratio. Available.
TOURING-TUNED SUSPENSION. At every
corner, around every corner, four-wheel touring-
tuned suspension improves handling, helping
to provide a smooth and even ride — over even
the most demanding road conditions out there.
YOUR BOLD SPIRIT
IS FULLY SUPPORTED
*Based on EPA estimated 23 city/30 hwy mpg when equipped
with 2.0L engine and 5-speed transmission.
30

acceptable level.

and ice off your sideview mirrors as you warm up
your interior. This available feature also helps to
keep your mirrors icicle-free as you drive.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC).
5
An advanced system designed to assist drivers in
maintaining control of their vehicle at all times. It
integrates a four-wheel antilock brake system
(ABS) with hydraulic Brake Assist, all-speed
traction control, and Electronic Roll Mitigation
(ERM) to constantly monitor driver input against
the vehicle’s actual course. When needed, the
system automatically helps provide braking to
the appropriate wheels and reduces engine
power when overly sharp steering and/or
impending wheel lift is detected.
ADVANCED MULTISTAGE FRONT AND
SIDE-CURTAIN AIR BAGS.
6These air bags
provide nearly instantaneous occupant
protection by matching air bag output to
crash severity.
SUPPLEMENTAL SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE AIR
BAGS.

autonomously trigger the air bag on the side
where the impact occurs. Available.
HALOGEN HEADLAMPS AND FOG LAMPS.
These bright sources of light improve down-road
visibility at night or during inclement weather.
HILL START ASSIST (HSA). This system works
to prevent Patriot from rolling away when starting
the vehicle on an up- or downhill gradient. It holds
the vehicle stationary for two seconds after the
driver’s foot is removed from the brake pedal,
allowing time to apply the throttle. Standard on
manual transaxle models, and included with the
Trail Rated® Freedom Drive II® Off-Road Group.
FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS.
7
In the event of a rear-end collision, the head
restraints move forward and upward to
decrease the space between the headrest
and occupant’s head, thereby helping to
reduce the chance of injury.

available Uconnect®430N radio, TRAVEL LINK
provides access to detailed information on
accidents, traffic flow, construction, road closures,
and more. Alternative route guidance and mapping
let you easily avoid troubled areas to help you

SET OF MORE THAN 30 AVAILABLE SAFETY AND SECURITY FEATURES ARE IN PLACE,
