Patriot Limited attracts attention without even
trying. Deep-tinted glass on the rear door windows, cargo area and liftgate piques the interest of curious onlookers, provides privacy, and offers
welcome shade from the glare of the sun. The standard roof rack side rails with available adjustable cross rails give handy cargo-carrying
capability — just be sure to properly equip your Patriot and secure your load before you go on your way. Limited also delivers an impressive
dose of Jeep brand power with its standard 2.4L 4-cylinder dual VVT engine with 172 hp. A retuned suspension system helps Patriot more
easily negotiate whatever the road ahead has to offer, for a ride quality that’s improved. Standard active safety systems include an Electronic
Stability Program (ESP)

with Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), Brake Assist and an antilock brake system (ABS), that are always working to
help you and your passengers securely reach your destination. Firm feeling rack-and-pinion power steering is tuned to deliver comfort and
precise operation at higher speeds; it will respond to a lighter touch when parking. With a firmer touch on the highway, it can adjust resistance
and help out in an avoidance maneuver as well. Go for the strong and standard 5-speed manual transmission or upgrade to the innovative
Continuously Variable Automatic Transaxle (CVT2) with AutoStick. Opt for authentic Trail Rated

No system, no matter
how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and
other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp in the speedometer flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and
driving behavior to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always wear your seat belt.
