2014 JEEP RENEGADE ABS

The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug
is removed. Before using thePark-
Sense® system, it is recommended to
remove the tow hook ball assembly and
the relevant attachment from the vehi-
cle when the latter is not used for tow-
ing operations. Failure to comply with
this prescription may cause personal
injuries or damages to vehicles or
obstacles since, when the continuous
acoustic signal is emitted, the tow hook
ball is already in a position that is much
closer to the obstacle than the rear
bumper.
In addition, the sensors may detect the
tow hook ball assembly and the
relevant attachment (depending on its
size and shape), providing a false
indication of the presence of an
obstacle in the area behind the vehicle.
GENERAL WARNINGS
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the parking system:
❒reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence of: ice, snow, mud, thick
paint, on the surface of the sensor;
❒the sensor may detect a non-existent
obstacle ("echo interference") due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle, in rain
(strong wind), hail;❒the signals sent by the sensor can
also be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems of trucks or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle;
❒Parking assistance system
performance can also be influenced by
the position of the sensors, for example
due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock
absorbers, suspension), or by changing
tyres, overloading the vehicle or
carrying out specific tuning operations
that require the vehicle to be lowered.
❒the presence of a tow hook without
trailer, which may interfere with the
correct operation of the parking
sensors.
❒the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Thus take care not to place
adhesives on the sensors.
WARNING
126)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always make
sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the route
you want to drive into. The parking
sensors are an aid for the driver, but the
driver must never allow their attention
to lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds.
WARNING
42)The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
43)Only have interventions on the bumper
in the area of the sensors carried out by
a Jeep Dealership. Interventions on the
bumper that are not carried out properly
may compromise the operation of the
parking sensors.

LANESENSE
SYSTEM (lane
crossing warning)
DESCRIPTION
44) 45) 46) 47) 48) 49)
The LaneSense system makes use of a
camera located on the windscreen to
detect the lane limits and calculate
the position of the vehicle within such
limits, in order to make sure that it
remains inside the lane.
When both limits of the lane are
detected and the vehicle crosses one of
them without the awareness of the
driver (direction indicator off), the
system provides a tactile warning by
applying torque to the steering wheel,
signalling the driver that he must take
an action to remain into the lane.
If the vehicle continues going beyond
the line of the lane without any
intervention from the driver, the
warning light (or the corresponding
graphic icon on the reconfigurable
multifunction display) will be displayed
on the instrument panel to urge the
driver to bring the vehicle back into the
limits of the lane.IMPORTANT The system monitors the
presence of the driver's hands on
the steering wheel. If they are
not detected, the system emits an
acoustic signal and deactivates until it is
reactivated by pressing the dedicated
button.
When one limit of the lane is detected
and the vehicle crosses it (direction
indicator off), warning light
(or the
icon on the reconfigurable multifunction
display) will be displayed on the
instrument panel to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back into the lane.
In this case, the tactile warning (torque
on the steering wheel) is not provided.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
When the engine is started the system
is activated (LED on button
fig. 98
off). Each time the engine is started, the
system keeps the activation status
there was when it was previously
switched off.
Activation conditions
Once switched on, the system
becomes active only if the following
conditions are met:
❒the driver always keeps at least one
hand on the steering wheel;❒vehicle speed ranges within 60 km/h
and 180 km/h (or equivalent values in
miles);
❒the lane limit lines are perfectly visible
on both sides;
❒there are suitable visibility conditions;
❒the road is straight or with wide
radius bends;
❒a suitable distance is kept from the
vehicle in front;
❒the direction indicator (for leaving the
lane) is not active;
❒the lane limit lines are perfectly visible
on both sides (for activation of the
tactile warning only).
NOTE The system does not apply
torque to the steering wheel every time
a safety system is activated (brakes,
ABS, ASR system, ESC system,
Forward Collision Warning Plus system,
etc.).

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
44)The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windscreen.
45)Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g.
vehicles that are driving not aligned with
yours, vehicle driving in a transverse or
opposite way on the same lane, bend with
a small radius of curvature), by road
surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure
the windscreen is always clean. Use
specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windscreen. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
46)Projecting loads on the roof of the
vehicle may interfere with the correct
operation of the camera. Before starting
make sure the load is correctly positioned,
in order not to cover the camera operating
range.
47)If the windscreen must be replaced
due to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively a Jeep Dealership. Do
not replace the windscreen on your own,
risk of malfunction! It is advisable to replace
the windscreen if it is damaged in the area
of the camera.48)Do not tamper nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure
of the camera, contact a Jeep Dealership.
49)Do not cover the operating range of the
camera with stickers or other objects.
Also pay attention to other objects on the
bonnet (e.g. a layer of snow) and make
sure they do not interfere with the camera.

Installing the ball head tow
bar
Remove the plug from the mounting
pipe.
The ball head tow bar is usually in the
released position when taken out from
the luggage compartment. This can
be observed by the knob spaced from
the tow bar, corresponding to a slot
of approximately 5 mm (see fig. 101)
and by the red mark on the knob
directed to the green mark on the tow
bar. The tow bar can be installed only
when in these conditions.If the locking mechanism of the tow bar
is disengaged before the installation,
or at any other time, and is in the
locked position, it must be pre-loaded.
The locked position can be identified
by the green mark of the knob
coinciding with the green mark of the
tow bar and by the knob in the stop
position on the tow bar, namely without
slot (see figure).
The locking mechanism is pre-loaded
as follows:
❒with key inserted and lock open,
extract the knob following the direction
of arrow A fig. 101;
❒then follow the direction of arrow B,
until it stops.
The release ball is pre-loaded and the
locking mechanism remains in the
pre-loading position even when the
knob is released.
The release lever is engaged and the
locking mechanism remains in the
pre-loading position even when the
knob is released.
The tow bar must be inserted in the
housing pipe with the coupling pin for
the installation. Insert from the bottom
and push upwards: the mechanism
locks automatically.
IMPORTANT To prevent injury to limbs,
keep hands away from the knob when
locking.Close the lock and always remove the
key. The key cannot be removed when
the lock is released. Then fit the
protection cap on the lock.
Removing the tow bar
Proceed as follows:
❒remove the protection cap from the
lock and press it on the key grip. Open
the lock with the key;
❒grip the tow bar firmly, remove the
knob following the direction of arrow A
fig. 101, then rotate in the direction
of arrow B until it stops, in order to
release it in unlocked position. Then
remove the tow bar from the housing
pipe. The knob can then be released (it
will automatically stop in released
position);
❒arrange the tow bar in the luggage
compartment so that it cannot be
dirtied and/or damaged by other
transported objects;
❒finally, insert the dedicated plug in the
mounting pipe.
Important
Apply the plate in a highly visible point
of the vehicle, near the mounting pipe
or inside the luggage compartment.
119

To ensure correct operation of the
system, periodically remove all deposits
of dirt which may have accumulated
on the ball head bar and from the
mounting pipe. The lock must only be
treated with graphite.
Periodically lubricate the joints, the
sliding surfaces and the balls with
grease without resin or oil. Lubrication
is also a further corrosion protection.
if the vehicle is washed with high-
pressure jets, the ball head bar must be
removed and the dedicated plug fitted.
The ball head bar must never be
treated with high-pressure jets.
Two keys are supplied together with the
removable ball tow bar. Note down
the four-digit key number and keep it in
a safe place. This number is to be
used for ordering any duplicate keys
that may be required.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Jeep Dealership.
WARNING
128)The ABS with which the vehicle is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
therefore required on slippery surfaces.
129)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic
system.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
Always stop the engine before
refuelling.
130) 131) 132)
PETROL ENGINES

STARTING AND DRIVING

❒before raising the vehicle, loosen –
without removing – the bolts on the
wheel with the flat tyre using key A fig.
135. With the wheel still resting on
the ground, a single anticlockwise
rotation of the bolts will be enough;
❒position the jack under the vehicle,
near the wheel to be changed;
❒fit key D fig. 136 on hexagon A of
jack B and turn it clockwise until the
jack’s bracket is inserted firmly in the
under-door side member lifting area,
taking care to keep the staff aligned
with the notch indicated by symbol
on the under-door trim;
❒lift the vehicle until the wheel is a few
centimetres off the ground;
❒remove the bolts and the wheel (for
versions with hub cap, remove it after
loosening the 4 bolts that fix it and,
finally, undo the last bolt and remove
the wheel);❒remove the key from the jack and
insert the locating pin in the hub cap (in
the case of alloy wheels)to facilitate
fitting of the spare wheel;
❒make sure the contact surfaces
between spare wheel and hub
are clean so that the fixing bolts will not
become loose subsequently;
❒fit the spare wheel;
❒fit and do up the bolts, without
tightening them;
❒if used, remove the alignment pin;
❒operate the jack and completely
lower the vehicle;
❒take the spare wheel, jack and wheel
bolt removal key (see fig. 133);
❒if the vehicle has aluminium rims,
where the hub cap covers the bolts,
use the key with great care to remove
the hub cap before raising the vehicle;❒tighten the bolts, alternating from one
bolt to the one opposite, according to
the numerical sequence illustrated in
fig. 137. In the case of any doubts
regarding the bolt tightening torque,
contact a Jeep Dealership;
❒reposition the jack, the tools, the
chock and the flat tyre inside the
luggage compartment, ensuring that
they are locked correctly.
IMPORTANT
❒Should it be absolutely necessary to
operate on the road surface or near
it, pay the utmost attention to vehicles
in transit.
