2014 JEEP RENEGADE belt

SYMBOLS
Some vehicle components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this
component.
A plate summarising these symbols can also be found under the bonnet.
ROLL OVER WARNING
The risk of rolling over for off-road vehicles is remarkably higher than for any other type of vehicle. This vehicle has a higher
ground clearance and has a higher centre of gravity compared to many other vehicles for transporting passengers, so that it
allows a better performance to be reached in a wide range of off-road applications.
Anyway, a dangerous driving style can increase the risk of losing control of the vehicle.
The vehicle is more subject to the risk of rolling over because of the higher centre of gravity should the driver lose its control.
Therefore, avoid tight curves or other unsafe driving conditions that may lead to losing the vehicle control. Failure to comply
with these precautions may cause accidents, vehicle rolling over and severe or fatal injuries. Drive carefully.
The main cause for severe or fatal injuries is failing to wear driver and passenger seat belts. In the event of rolling over, a
passenger not wearing the seat belt is much more likely to be fatally injured than a passenger wearing it correctly. Always fasten
the seat belts.
VEHICLE CHANGES/ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents,
in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

Repositioning the backrests
Move the seat belts to the side,
making sure that they are correctly
extended and not twisted.
Lift up the backrests and push them
back until a click is heard for both
hooking mechanisms, at the side. Make
sure that "red marks" on levers A fig.
17 are not visible any more. The "red

13)
WARNING
11)Any adjustment must be performed
with the vehicle at a standstill.
12)After releasing the adjustment lever,
always check that the seat is locked on the
guides by trying to move it back and forth.
If the seat is not locked into place, it may
unexpectedly slide and cause the driver to
lose control of the vehicle.13)Make sure that the backrests are
correctly secured on both sides ("red
marks" not visible) to prevent it from
moving forward in the event of sharp
braking, causing injuries to occupants.
WARNING
4)The fabric upholstery for the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term
wear deriving from normal use of the
vehicle. Nevertheless, some precautions
are required. Avoid prolonged and/or
excessive rubbing involving clothing
accessories such as metal buckles,
bosses, Velcro strips and the like, which,
by applying a high pressure on the fabric in
a limited area, could cause it to break,
thereby damaging the upholstery.
5)Do not arrange objects beneath the
electrically adjustable seat and do not
impede its movement, since the controls
may be damaged. They may also restrict
the seat travel.
6)Before tilting the backrest, remove any
objects laying on the seat.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
ADJUSTMENTS
14)Upwards adjustment: raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downwards adjustment: press

Warning light What it means
AIRBAG FAILURE
If the warning light switches on constantly, this indicates a fault in the airbag system. The display shows the
dedicated message.
28) 29)
SEAT BELTS NOT FASTENED
The warning light switches on constantly if the vehicle is stationary and the driver side or passenger side
seat belt, with the passenger seated, is not fastened. The warning light flashes and a buzzer will sound if
the vehicle is in motion and the driver side or passenger side seat belt, with the passenger seated, is not
correctly fastened.
In this case, fasten the seat belt.
WARNING
28)If thewarning light does not switch on when the ignition device is moved to MAR or if it stays on when driving (together with the
message on the display), 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 to have the
system checked as soon as possible.
29)The fault of the

Activation/deactivation
The Forward Collision Warning Plus
system can be deactivated (and then
reactivated) via theUconnect™
system. The system can also
be deactivated bringing the ignition
device to MAR.
IMPORTANT The system status can be
changed with vehicle at a standstill
only.
Activation/deactivation
If the Forward Collision Warning Plus
system has been correctly activated
with theUconnect™system, this will
be active each time the engine is
started.
To deactivate the system, hold the
button on the central tunnel pressed.
Following a deactivation, the system
will not warn the driver about the
possible collision with the preceding
vehicle, regardless of the setting
selected with theUconnect™system.
To reactivate the system press the
button again.
The system only works if:
❒it is activated via theUconnect™
system;
❒it has not been deactivated with a
long press of the
button;
❒the ignition device is at MAR;❒the vehicle speed is between 7 and
200 km/h;
❒the front seat belts are fastened.
System limited operation
signal
If the dedicated message is displayed,
a condition limiting the system
operation may have occurred. The
possible reasons of this limitation are
something blocking the camera view or
a fault. If an obstruction is signalled,
clean the area of the windscreen
indicated in fig. 58 and check that the
message has disappeared.
In this case the system might be not
completely available.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to a
normal and complete operation. Should
the fault persist, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
Driving in special conditions
In certain driving conditions, such as,
for example:
❒driving close to a bend (see fig. 59);
❒vehicles with small dimensions
and/or not aligned in the driving lane
(see fig. 60);
❒lane change by other vehicles (see
fig. 61);
❒vehicle driving in a transverse way
(see fig. 62);system intervention might be
unexpected or delayed. The driver must
be very careful, keeping control of the
vehicle to drive in complete safety.

OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
The most important safety equipment
of the vehicle comprise the following
protection systems:
❒seat belts;
❒SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
❒head restraints;
❒child restraint systems;
❒front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see paragraph "Head
restraints" in chapter "Knowing your
vehicle".
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to
the use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the torso straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 63 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.
On removal, if the belt jams, let it rewind
for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C and guide the seat belt with your
hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it
from twisting.
75) 76)The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
retractor mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event of
sudden braking, collisions or
high-speed bends.
Wear the rear seat belts as shown in
fig. 64.
IMPORTANT When returning the rear
seat from the tilted position to the
normal operating position, take care to
refit the seat belt correctly, in order to
guarantee prompt availability every
time.
