2014 JEEP RENEGADE ground clearance

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.

MINIMUM GROUND CLEARANCE/TYPICAL ANGLES
"Minimum ground clearance" (reference A fig. 158)
The clearance value is measured next to the lower edge of the differential. This value also defines those for the "Approach
angle" the "Departure angle" and the "Breakover angle".
Dimensions are expressed in mm and refer to the vehicle equipped with its standard-supplied tyres.
Front wheel drive (FWD) versions: 171 mm
Four wheel drive (4WD) versions: 201 mm
Trailhawk versions with four wheel drive (4WD LOW): 225 mm

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

"Approach angle" (reference B fig. 158)
The approach angle is determined by the horizontal line of the road surface and by the tangent line passing between the front
wheel and the most projecting low point of the vehicle.
The wider the angle, the lower the chance to hit an obstacle with the body or chassis, climbing a steep slope or overcoming an
obstacle.
Front wheel drive (FWD) versions: 17.9°
Four wheel drive (4WD) versions: 21°
Trailhawk versions with four wheel drive (4WD LOW): 30.5°
"Departure angle" (reference C fig. 158)
The departure angle is determined by the same lines of the "Approach angle", and refers to the rear part of the vehicle.
Front wheel drive (FWD) versions: 29.7°
Four wheel drive (4WD) versions: 32.1°
Trailhawk versions with four wheel drive (4WD LOW): 34.3°
"Breakover angle" (reference D fig. 158)
The value of the "Breakover angle" is linked to the ground clearance of the vehicle and indicates the attitude of the vehicle to
overcome a wedge, more or less steep, preventing the vehicle from resting on the ground with the body or chassis after
touching the wedge with its lowest and most projecting parts (usually the underbody), this would highly reduce wheel grip.
The wheels, without a suitable grip to the ground, will not have sufficient hold to move the vehicle, and will surge.
The higher the ground clearance, the wider the breakover angle. Always bear in mind that the higher the ground clearance, the
lower the stability, due to a higher centre of gravity which reduces the side tipping angle.
Front wheel drive (FWD) versions: 21.2°
Four wheel drive (4WD) versions: 24°
Trailhawk versions with four wheel drive (4WD LOW): 25.7°
