2014 JEEP RENEGADE ESP

As soon as a speed threshold of 8
km/h is maintained for more than 10
continuous seconds (or 50
discontinuous seconds), with driver
side seat belt or the passenger side
seat belt (with occupant seated)
unfastened, an acoustic signal is
activated simultaneously with warning
light
flashing for about 105 seconds.
When this cycle of warnings is activated
it will stay on for its entire length
(regardless of the vehicle speed) or until
the seat belts are fastened again.
When the reverse is engaged, during
the cycle of warnings, the acoustic
signal is deactivated and the
warning
light turns on constantly. The cycle of
warnings will be reactivated as soon as
speed exceeds 8 km/h again.
Operation of rear seat belt
icons
The icons are shown on the display (fig.
67 versions with multifunction display
or fig. 68 versions with reconfigurable
multifunction display) after a few
seconds have elapsed since when the
ignition device is turned to MAR.
The icons turn off at least 30 seconds
after the doors have been closed or
after a change in the seat belt fastening
status.
The icons shown on the display
indicate:
❒A: rear left seat belt;
❒B: rear central seat belt;
❒C: rear right seat belt.
NOTE On versions equipped with
multifunction display, if a seat belt is
unfastened, icon
lights up.The icons are displayed according to
the corresponding seat belts in the rear
seats, and stay on for about 30
seconds from the last seat belt status
change:
❒if the seat belt is fastenedthe
corresponding icon will be green;
❒if the seat belt is unfastenedthe
corresponding icon will be red.

SAFETY

If the rear seat belt is unfastened, an
acoustic warning (3 "beeps") will be
activated along with the relevant icon
lighting up in the display.
Furthermore the icons will light up again
for 90 seconds each time one of the
rear doors is closed.
The icon will turn green after the
corresponding seat has been fastened.
The rear seat icons will go out,
regardless of the state of the belt (red
icon or green icon), approximately
30 seconds after the last signal.
IMPORTANT
As far as the rear seats are concerned,
the SBR system will only indicate
whether the seat belts are unfastened
(red icon) or fastened (green icon),
not the presence of any passengers.
The warning lights/icons are all off if all
seat belts (front and rear) are fastened
when the ignition device is at MAR.
For the rear seats, the icons will
activate after a few seconds after the
ignition device has been turned to
MAR, regardless of the status of the
seat belts (even if the seat belts are all
fastened).
All the warning lights/icons will come on
when at least one belt changes from
fastened to unfastened status or vice
versa.
PRETENSIONERS
79) 80) 81) 82)33)
The vehicle is equipped with front seat
belt pretensioners, which draw back
the seat belts by several centimetres in
the event of a strong frontal impact.
This guarantees the perfect adherence
of the seat belts to the occupant's
bodies before the retention action
begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
toward the retractor.
This vehicle is also equipped with a
second pretensioner (fitted in the kick
plate area). Its activation is signalled by
the shortening of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not indicate any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any
changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events (floods,
sea storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and/or mud, contact
a Jeep Dealership to have it replaced.IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the torso and pelvis.
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase safety in the event of an
accident, the front seat belt retractors
contain a load limiter which controls the
force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining
action in the event of a head-on
collision.
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING THE SEAT BELTS
Respect and ensure that all the other
occupants of the vehicle comply with
the local laws in force regarding the use
of seat belts. Always fasten the seat
belts before setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in
the event of an accident is reduced for
them and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt.
79

The ECE-R44 standard was recently
paired with the ECE R-129 regulation,
which defines the characteristics of
the new i-Size child restraint systems
(see the "Suitability of passenger seats
for i-Size child restraint system use"
paragraph).
All restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori Jeep offers child restraint
systems for each weight group. These
devices are recommended, having
been specifically designed for Jeep
vehicles.
FITTING A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
WITH SEAT BELTS
The Universal child restraint systems
installed with the seat belts only are
type-approved on the basis of the ECE
R44 standard and are divided into
various weight groups.
IMPORTANT The figures are indicative
and provided for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which
must be included.
Group 0 and 0+
Infants up to 13 kg must be carried with
a rearward facing child restraint system
of a type as shown in fig. 72 which,
supporting the head, does not induce
stress on the neck in the event of
sudden decelerations.
The child restraint system is secured by
the car seat belts, as shown in fig. 72
and it must restrain the child in turn
with its own belts.
Group 1
Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may
be carried in forward facing child
restraint systems fig. 73.
Group 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the
vehicle seat belts directly fig. 74.
In this case, the child restraint system is
used to position the child correctly
with respect to the seat belts so that
the diagonal belt section crosses the
child’s chest and not the neck, and the
lower part is snug on the pelvis not
the abdomen.

SAFETY

A slight movement of the brake pedal
may be detected when engaging the
electric parking brake with the brake
pedal pressed.
With the electric parking brake
engaged, the warning light
on the
instrument panel and the LED on the
switch turn on.
IMPORTANT With the EPB failure
warning light on, some functions of the
electric parking brake are deactivated.
In this case the driver is responsible
for brake activation and vehicle parking
in complete safety conditions.
If, under exceptional circumstances, the
use of the brake is required with the
vehicle in motion, keep the switch on
the central tunnel pulled as long as the
brake action is necessary.
The warning light
may switch on
with the hydraulic system temporarily
unavailable; in this case braking is
controlled by the motors.
The brake lights (stop) will also
automatically switch on in the same
way as for normal braking with the use
of the brake pedal.
Release the switch on the central tunnel
to stop the braking action with the
vehicle in motion.If, through this procedure, the vehicle is
braked until a speed below 3 km/h is
reached and the switch is kept pulled,
the parking brake will definitively
engage.
IMPORTANT Driving the vehicle with
the electric parking brake engaged, or
using it several times to slow down
the vehicle, may cause severe damage
to the braking system.
Disengaging the electric
parking brake manually
To manually disengage the parking
brake, the ignition device must be at
MAR. It is also necessary to press the
brake pedal, then slightly press the
switch on the central tunnel.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle and a slight movement of the
brake pedal may be detected during
disengagement.
With the electric parking brake
engaged, the warning light
on the
instrument panel and the LED on the
switch turn off.
If the warning light
on the
instrument panel remains on with the
electric parking brake disengaged, this
indicates a fault: in this case contact
a Jeep Dealership.IMPORTANT On versions with
automatic transmission never use the P
(Park) position instead of the electric
parking brake. Always engage the
electric parking brake when parking the
vehicle to prevent injury or damage
caused by the unexpected movement
of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT For vehicles equipped
with manual gearbox, if the clutch pedal
is released simultaneously with the
press of the accelerator, the electric
handbrake automatically releases.
ELECTRIC PARKING
BRAKE OPERATING
MODES
The electric parking brake may operate
as follows:
❒"Dynamic operating mode": this
mode is activated by pulling the switch
repeatedly whilst deriving;
❒"Static engagement and release
mode": with the vehicle stationary, the
electric parking brake can be activated
by pulling the switch on the central
tunnel once. On the other hand, press
the switch and the brake pedal at
the same time to disengage the brake;
101

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.
113

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

A superimposed central broken line
indicates the centre of the vehicle
to facilitate parking manoeuvres or tow
hook alignment.
The various coloured areas indicate the
distance from the rear of the vehicle.
Area (reference
fig. 100)Distance from the
rear of the vehicle
Red (A) 0–30 cm
Yellow (B) 30–100 cm
Green (C) 1 m or more
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
127)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a
slow speed, so as to promptly brake in the
case of obstacles.
WARNING
50)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free
from mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed
using clean water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets,
clean the camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Do not apply stickers to 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.
