2014 JEEP RENEGADE instrument panel

Warning light What it means
FUEL RESERVE/LIMITED RANGE
This warning light (or the icon on the display) comes on when about 5 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
When the remaining range is lower than approx. 50 km (or equivalent value in miles), on some versions, the
display will show a warning message.
15)
GLOW PLUG PREHEATING FAILURE (Diesel versions)
The warning light will flash (a message will appear on the display, on some versions) to indicate a fault in
the glow plugs preheating system.
In this case, contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
LANESENSE SYSTEM
Versions with multifunction display
The warning light switches on as follows:
Warning light continuously on (white):the system is activated, but the lane limits were not detected (the
lane lines are grey).
Warning light on and flashing (amber):the vehicle has approached the lane line and is about to pass it.
Warning light switched on continuously (green):the system has detected the limits of both lanes. The
system will act on the steering wheel if the lane was passed unintentionally.
Versions with reconfigurable multifunction display
On versions equipped with reconfigurable multifunction display, the warning light shown at the side is
replaced with dedicated graphic icons, displayed in the upper left area of the display. These icons are
displayed according to the same logic described for versions equipped with multifunction display (see
previous description).
WARNING
15)If the warning light (or the icon on the display) flashes whilst driving, contact a Jeep Dealership.

Warning light What it means
MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS
The warning light switches on when the main beam headlights are turned on.
SYMBOLS ON THE DISPLAY
Red symbols on the display
Symbol What it means
LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
The symbol switches on, together with a message on the display, if there is insufficient engine oil pressure.
16)
IMPORTANT Do not use the vehicle until the failure has been solved. The switching on of the symbol does
not show the quantity of oil in the engine: the oil level must be checked manually.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Symbol What it means
LANESENSE SYSTEM FAILURE
Camera obstructed: the symbol lights up in the case of dirt on the windscreen, which may adversely
affect correct operation of the camera. On versions equipped with reconfigurable multifunction display the
vehicle icon is shown in the upper right area of the display. In this case clean the windscreen using a soft
clean cloth, taking care not to scratch it. Should the failure persist, contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as
possible.
LaneSense system failure: the symbol also lights up in the case of failure to the LaneSense system. In
this case contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
AUTOMATIC MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the automatic main beam headlights. Contact a Jeep
Dealership as soon as possible.
Symbol What it means
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING
The symbol switches on in the case of transmission overheating, after a particularly demanding use. In this
case an engine performance limitation is carried out. With engine off or at idle speed, wait until the symbol
switches off.
TOW HOOK FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the tow hook. Contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as
possible.
AUDIO SYSTEM FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the audio system. Contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as
possible.

Symbol What it means
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(where provided)
Diesel versions: the symbol is displayed on some versions, along with a dedicated message displaying.
The symbol is displayed for 3 minute cycles and intervals of 5 seconds until oil is changed.
The symbol is displayed until the problem is solved.
Petrol versions: the symbol switches on and then is not displayed when the display cycle is completed.
IMPORTANT After the first indication, each time the engine is started the symbol will continue to switch on
as described above until the oil is changed. On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.
If the symbol flashes, this does not mean that there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply reports that it is
now necessary to change the oil as a result of regular use of the vehicle.
The deterioration of engine oil is accelerated by using the vehicle for short drives, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature.
Contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
20) 21)
WARNING
20)Deteriorated engine oil should be replaced as soon as possible after the symbol is switched on, and never more than 500 km after it first
switches on. Failure to observe the above indications may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty. The switching
on of this symbol is not correlated to the quantity of oil in the engine, therefore if it flashes you do not need to top up the engine oil.
21)If the symbol flashes whilst driving, contact a Jeep Dealership.

ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
ABS (Anti-lock Braking
System)
This system, which is an integral part of
the braking system, prevents one or
more wheels from locking and slipping
in all road surface conditions,
irrespective of the intensity of the
braking action, ensuring that the vehicle
can be controlled even during
emergency braking and optimising
stopping distances.
System intervention
The driver can feel that the ABS system
has come into action because the
brake pedal pulsates slightly and the
system gets noisier: this is entirely
normal with the system operating.
31) 32) 33) 34) 35) 36) 37)
DTC (Drag Torque
Control) SYSTEM
The system intervenes in the event of
sudden downshifting, or during ABS
braking, restoring torque to the engine
and thus preventing excessive drag
at the drive wheels, which may lead the
wheels to lock and a loss of vehicle
stability, above all in low-grip
conditions.
ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) SYSTEM
The ESC system improves the
directional control and stability of the
vehicle in various driving conditions,
correcting understeer and oversteer,
distributing the brake force on the
appropriate wheels.
System intervention
The intervention of the system is
indicated by the flashing of the
warning light on the instrument
panel, to inform the driver that
the vehicle is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
38) 39) 40) 41) 42)
TC (Traction Control)
SYSTEM
The system automatically operates in
the event of slipping, loss of grip on wet
roads (aquaplaning) and acceleration
on slippery, snowy or icy roads, etc. on
one or both drive wheels.
System intervention
The intervention of the system is
indicated by the flashing of the
warning light on the instrument
panel, to inform the driver that
the vehicle is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
43) 44) 45) 46) 47)
PBA (Panic Brake
Assist) SYSTEM
The PBA system is designed to
improve the vehicle’s braking capacity
during emergency braking.
The brake pedal should be pressed
continuously during braking, avoiding
intermittent presses, to get the most
out of the system. Do not reduce
pressure on the brake pedal until
braking is not necessary anymore.
The PBA system is deactivated when
the brake pedal is released.
48) 49) 50)
HSA (Hill Start Assist)
SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the
ESC system and facilitates starting on
slopes.
System deactivation
The Hill Start Assist system can be
deactivated using the display Menu
(see the instructions in the "Display"
paragraph, "Knowing the instrument
panel" chapter).
