2014 JEEP RENEGADE steering

84)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if
a rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger's side sun visor (see
the "Supplementary Restraint System
(SRS) - Airbag" paragraph).
85)Should it be necessary to carry a child
on the passenger side front seat in a rear
facing child restraint system, the passenger
side front airbag and side bag must be
deactivated through the display main menu
(see the instructions in the "Display"
paragraph, "Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter), verifying activation by checking
whether the
OFFLED has switched on
in the panel located on the dashboard.
Move the passenger's seat as far back as
possible to avoid contact between the child
restraint system and the dashboard.
86)Do not adjust the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
87)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided
by the Manufacturer.88)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured
inside the passenger compartment. In this
way, in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
89)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove
the child restraint system before making
any adjustment.
90)Always make sure that the chest
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.
Therefore the child must always wear
the seat belt correctly.
91)Do not use the same lower anchorage
to install more than one child protection
system.
92)If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint
system is not fixed to all three anchorages,
it will not be able to protect the child
correctly. In a crash, the child could be
seriously or fatally injured.
93)Fit the child restraint system only when
the vehicle is stationary. The child restraint
system is correctly fixed to the brackets
when you hear the click. Follow the
instructions for assembly, disassembly and
positioning that the Manufacturer must
supply with the child restraint system.
SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS) - AIRBAG
The vehicle is equipped with:
❒front driver airbag;
❒front passenger airbag;
❒driver and passenger front side bags
for pelvis, chest and shoulder
protection (Side bags);
❒front and rear side passenger side
bags for head protection (window bag).
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver/passenger airbags and
the driver's knee bag (where provided)
protect the front seat occupants in
the event of frontal impacts of
medium/high severity, by placing the
bag between the occupant and the
steering wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-activation in other types
of collisions (side impacts, rear shunts,
roll-overs, etc.) does not indicate a
system malfunction.
Driver and passenger front airbags are
not a replacement of but
complementary to the seat belts, which
should always be worn, as specified
by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
91

In the event of impact, those not
wearing a seat belt are projected
forwards and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating. The
protection offered by the bag is
compromised in these circumstances.
The front airbags may not activate in
the case of a frontal impact against
highly deformable objects not involving
the front surface of the vehicle (e.g.
wing collision against guard rail) or in
the case of the vehicle wedging under
other vehicles or protective barriers
(e.g. under trucks or guard rails).
Failure to activate in the conditions
described above is due to the fact that
they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would be inappropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment does
not indicate a system malfunction.
Driver's side front airbag
94) 95)
This consists of an instantly inflating
cushion contained in a special
compartment in the centre of the
steering wheel fig. 80.
Passenger side front airbag
96)
This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special recess in the
dashboardfig. 81, this bag has a larger
volume than that of the driver's.
Passenger side front airbag
and child restraint systems
Rearward facing child restraint systems
mustNEVERbe fitted on the front
seat with an active passenger side
airbag since in the event of an impact
the airbag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
ALWAYScomply with the instructions
on the label stuck on the passenger
side sun visor fig. 82.

SAFETY

WARNING
94)Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the dashboard in
the passenger side airbag area, on side
upholstery on the roof or on the seats.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on
the passenger's side dashboard since
they could interfere with correct inflation of
the airbag and also cause serious injury
to the passengers.
95)Always drive keeping your hands on
the steering wheel rim so that the airbag
can inflate freely if necessary. Do not drive
with your body bent forward. Keep your
back straight against the backrest.
96)When an active passenger airbag is
fitted, DO NOT install rearward facing child
restraint systems on the front passenger
seat. Deployment of the airbag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to the
child regardless of the severity of the
impact. Therefore, always deactivate the
passenger side airbag when a rearward
facing child restraint system is installed on
the front passenger seat. The front
passenger seat must also be positioned
back as far as possible in order to prevent
the child restraint system from coming
into contact with the dashboard.
Immediately reactivate the passenger
airbag as soon as the child restraint system
has been removed.
97)Do not hook rigid objects to the coat
hooks and to the support handles.100)If the
warning light does not
switch on when the ignition device is
moved to MAR or if it stays on when
driving, there might be a fault in the
restraint systems; in this case, the airbags
or pretensioners may not deploy in the
event of an accident or, in a lower number
of cases, they could deploy erroneously.
Before proceeding, contact a Jeep
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
101)On some versions, if the
OFFLED
(located on the dashboard panel) is faulty,
warning light
lights up in the instrument
panel.
102)If a side bag is present, do not cover
the front seat backrests with extra covers.
103)Do not travel carrying objects in
your lap, in front of your chest or between
your lips (pipe, pencils, etc.). They could
cause severe injury if the airbag is
deployed.
104)If the has been subject to theft,
attempted theft, vandalism, or flooding,
have the airbag system inspected at a
Jeep Dealership.105)If the ignition device is at MAR, even if
the engine is switched off, airbags may
be deployed when the vehicle is stationary
and hit by another vehicle. Therefore,
even if the vehicle is stationary, when an
active front passenger airbag is fitted, DO
NOT install rearward facing child restraint
systems on the front passenger seat.
Deployment of the airbag following an
impact could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Therefore, always deactivate the
passenger side airbag when a rearward
facing child restraint system is installed on
the front passenger seat. The front
passenger seat must also be positioned
back as far as possible in order to prevent
the child restraint system from coming
into contact with the dashboard.
Immediately reactivate the passenger
airbag as soon as the child restraint system
has been removed. Finally, remember that
if the ignition device is at STOP, no safety
device (airbags or pretensioners) will
activate following an impact; therefore if
these devices do not activate this cannot
be considered as signal of the system
malfunction.
106)If the airbag failure warning light is
faulty this will be signalled by an airbag
failure icon lighting up in the instrument
panel display with a dedicated message.
The pyrotechnic charges are not disabled.
Before proceeding, contact a Jeep
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
107)The front airbag deployment threshold
is higher than that of the pretensioners.
When the impact is between the two
deployment thresholds, it is normal that
pretensioners only are engaged.
96
SAFETY
98)Do not rest your head, arms or elbows
on the door, windows or the area in which
the window bag is located to avoid
possible injury during inflation.
99)
elbows out of the windowNever lean head, arms and

122)Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that the vehicle is switched off and
that the ignition device is in the STOP
position. Follow the indications on the plate
underneath the bonnet. We recommend
that you remove the key from the ignition if
other people remain in the vehicle. The
vehicle should always be left after the key
has been removed or turned to the STOP
position. During refuelling, make sure
that the engine is off (ignition device in the
STOP position).
WARNING
39)If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Stop/Start system can be deactivated,
for a continuous operation of the climate
control system.
SPEED LIMITER
DESCRIPTION
This device allows the speed of the
vehicle to be limited to values which
can be set by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set both
with vehicle stationary and in motion.
The minimum speed that can be set is
30 km/h.
When the device is active, the vehicle
speed depends on the pressure at
the accelerator pedal, until the set
speed limit is reached.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
To activate the device press button A
fig. 91 on the steering wheel.The buttons on the steering wheel
operate as follows:
❒SET +: limit speed programming
(storage of a higher speed value);
❒SET –: limit speed programming
(storage of a lower speed value);
❒RES: device activation (the actuation
of the device is signalled by the
displaying of symbol
(green on
versions with reconfigurable
multifunction display).
❒CANC: deactivation of the device
(the deactivation of the device is
signalled by the displaying of symbol
(white);
Automatic deactivation of
device
The device deactivates automatically in
the event of fault in the system. In this
case, contact a Jeep Dealership.

SELEC-TERRAIN
DRIVING MODE
SELECTION
Turn knob A fig. 95 to select the wished
mode.
IMPORTANT Changing mode is not
possible when the vehicle speed is over
120 km/h.❒AUTO (Automatic): the 4WD mode
with continuous and automatic
operation can be used while driving on
road and off-road. This mode reduces
fuel consumption, because the
propeller shaft can be disconnected,
whenever required.
❒SNOW: this mode can achieve more
stability on slippery or snow-covered
grounds. To be used for driving on-road
and off-road in the case of grounds
with poor grip, such as roads covered
by snow.
❒SAND: off-road driving mode to be
used on grounds with poor grip, such
as muddy surfaces. The transmission is
set to offer a maximum traction.
❒MUD: off-road driving mode for
surfaces with poor grip, such as
mud-covered grounds or wet grass.
❒ROCK(where provided, for Trailhawk
versions only): this mode is only
available if the 4WD LOW mode is
activated. The device sets the vehicle to
maximise traction and give the highest
steering capacity on off-road surfaces
featuring a high grip. This mode offers
the best performance when driving
"off-road". This mode must be used to
pass over obstacles at slow speed,
such as large rocks, deep cracks, etc.When the engine is started, the AUTO
mode is automatically selected (LED on
close to the AUTO wording).
Turning the knob A fig. 95 the LED
close to the AUTO wording comes on
solid. The other LEDs switch on
sequentially, depending on the
positions set on the knob, so that the
driver can understand which is the new
required mode.
Once the required mode is set (LED
close to the wording switched on), just
keep the knob in that position so that
theSelec-Terrain™system actuates
to engage the wished mode.

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
