2014 JEEP RENEGADE heating

111)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
WARNING
34)In the first period of use, i.e. in the first
1,600 km (1,000 miles), we recommend
not to demand maximum performance
from the vehicle (for instance excessive
accelerations, extended travel at maximum
speed, sudden braking, etc.).
35)With the engine off, do not leave the
ignition device at MAR to prevent the
battery from draining.
36)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely
no practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
37)Warning light
will flash after
starting or during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault with the glow plug heating
system. If the engine starts, the vehicle can
be regularly used, but a Jeep Dealership
must be contacted as soon as possible.
ELECTRIC PARKING
BRAKE (EPB)
The electric parking brake (EPB)
guarantees better use and optimal
performance compared to a manually
operated parking brake.
The electric parking brake features a
switch, located on the central tunnel fig.
87, a motor with caliper for each rear
wheel and an electronic control module.
IMPORTANT Always engage the
electronic parking brake before leaving
the vehicle.IMPORTANT In addition to parking the
vehicle with the parking brake always
engaged, the wheel steered, chocks or
stones positioned in front of the wheels
(when on a steep slope), a gear must
always be engaged (the 1st gear with
the vehicle parked uphill or the reverse
gear with the vehicle parked downhill).
On versions with automatic
transmission, place the gear lever at P
(Park).
IMPORTANT Should the vehicle battery
be faulty, to unlock the electric parking
brake the battery must be replaced.
The electric parking brake can be
engaged in two ways:
❒manually, by pressing the switch on
the central tunnel fig. 87;
❒automaticallyin "Safe Hold" or "Auto
Park Brake" conditions.
Engaging the parking brake
manually
112) 113) 114)
Briefly pull the switch located on the
central tunnel to manually engage the
electric paring brake when the vehicle is
stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the electric
parking brake.

IN AN EMERGENCY

❒make sure that the switch for the
compressor is in position0(off), start
the engine, insert the plug into the
luggage compartment power socket or
on central tunnel and switch on the
compressor by bringing the switch to
positionI(on);
❒inflate the tyre to the pressure
indicated in the “Wheels” paragraph
(see “Technical data” chapter). In order
to obtain a more precise reading, check
the pressure value on pressure gauge
B with the compressor off;
❒if after five minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.8 bar, disengage
the compressor from the valve and
power socket, then move the vehicle
forwards by approx. ten metres in order
to distribute the sealing fluid inside the
tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation
operation;
❒if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes
from switching on the compressor,
do not resume driving but contact a
Jeep Dealership;
❒after having driven for about 10
minutes, stop and re-check the tyre
pressure; remember to engage the
electric parking brake;❒if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar
is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and
electric parking brake), resume driving
immediately and drive with great care to
a Jeep Dealership.
WARNING
149)Punctures on the sides of the tyre
may not be repaired. Do not use the TireKit
if the tyre is damaged due to travelling
when flat.
150)Wear the protective gloves provided
with the TireKit.
151)Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the
TireKit. Drive carefully, particularly on
bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not
accelerate or brake suddenly.
152)If the pressure has fallen below 1.8
bar, do not drive any further: the TireKit
cannot guarantee proper hold because the
tyre is too damaged. Contact a Jeep
Dealership.
153)You must always indicate that the tyre
was repaired using the TireKit. Give the
leaflet to the technicians who will be
handling the tyre that was treated using the
TireKit.
154)Repair is not possible if the wheel rim
is damaged (groove is deformed, causing
air to escape). Do not remove foreign
bodies (screws or nails) from the tyre.155)Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 20 minutes consecutively. Risk
of overheating. The TireKit is not suitable
for definitive repairs, so the repaired tyres
may only be used temporarily.
156)The bottle contains ethylene glycol
and latex: it may cause an allergic reaction.
It is harmful if swallowed. It is irritant for
the eyes. It may cause sensitisation if
inhaled or on contact. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin and clothes. In the case of
contact, wash immediately with plenty of
water. In the event that it is swallowed, do
not induce vomiting. Rinse out your mouth,
drink large quantities of water and seek
immediate medical attention. Keep out of
the reach of children. The product must
not be used by asthmatics. Do not inhale
the vapours during insertion and suction.
Call a doctor immediately if allergic
reactions are noted. Store the bottle in its
proper compartment, away from sources
of heat. The sealant fluid has an expiry
date. Replace the bottle containing
out-of-date sealant fluid.
WARNING
55)In the event of a puncture caused by
foreign bodies, the kit may be used to
repair tyres showing damages on the tread
or shoulder up to max. 4 mm diameter.

IN AN EMERGENCY

IMPORTANT In versions with a sun
roof, make sure that the sun roof is
closed before operating the window
washer jets.
Rear window washer
The rear window washer jets are fixed.
The nozzle holder is located above
the rear window.
WARNING
176)The air intake system (air cleaner,
rubber hoses, etc.) can be a protection in
the case of blowbacks from the engine.
DO NOT REMOVE this system unless you
need to carry out repair or servicing
operations. Before starting the engine
make sure the system is not dismantled:
failure to comply with this precaution
may cause serious injuries.
177)Exhaust emissions are very
dangerous and may be fatal. They contain
carbon monoxide, a colourless and
odourless gas which, if inhaled, may cause
fainting and poisoning.
178)The exhaust system can reach high
temperatures and cause a fire if the vehicle
is parked on flammable material. Dry grass
or leaves can also catch fire if they come
into contact with the exhaust system.
Do not park or use the vehicle in a place in
which the exhaust system might come
into contact with flammable material.
WARNING
64)Incorrect maintenance of the vehicle or
failure to carry out operations or repairs
(when necessary) may lead to more
expensive repairs, damage to other
components or a negative impact on the
vehicle performance. Have any operating
faults immediately checked by a Jeep
Dealership.
65)The vehicle is equipped with fluids
optimised for protecting its performance
and duration, and to extend servicing
intervals. Do not use chemicals for washing
these components since they may
damage the engine, the gearbox or the
climate control system. This damage is not
covered by the vehicle’s warranty. If, due
to malfunction of a component, washing is
needed, only use the fluid specific for
that procedure.
66)An excessive or insufficient amount of
oil in the block is extremely harmful for
the engine. Make sure it is always at an
adequate level.
67)Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the vehicle.
Some non-approved coolants are
flammable and may explode, with the risk
of injuries. The use of non-approved
coolants or lubricants may adversely affect
system efficiency, leading to expensive
repairs.68)The air conditioning system contains
high-pressure coolant: to prevent damage
to people or the system, any topping-up
with fuel or repairs that involves
disconnection of the pipes must be carried
out by a Jeep Dealership.
69)Vehicles equipped with a catalytic
converter must be exclusively supplied with
unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol would
permanently damage the catalytic
converter and eliminate its ability to reduce
polluting emissions, seriously
compromising the engine performance,
which would be irreparably damaged. If the
engine does not work correctly, especially
if it starts irregularly or if there is a reduction
of its performance, immediately go to a
Jeep Dealership. Prolonged and faulty
operation of the engine may cause
overheating of the converter and, as a
consequence, possible damage to the
converter and the vehicle.
70)Using a gearbox fluid different from that
approved may compromise gearshifting
quality and/or cause vibration of the
gearbox itself.
71)It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by a Jeep Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations
and small servicing interventions personally
on the vehicle, it is recommended to use
suitable equipment, original spare parts
and the necessary fluids. Do not carry out
any interventions if you don't have the
necessary experience.
