2015 JEEP RENEGADE window

NOTE:The Front Defrost Control (MAX-DEF) function
remains on for approximately three minutes from when
the engine coolant reaches the appropriate temperature.
When the function is activated, the AUTO button LED
turns off. With the function activated, the only possible
manual adjustments are adjusting the fan speed and
turning the heated rear window off.
When the Recirculation Control, Rear Defrost Control , or
AUTO buttons are pushed, the Climate Control system
will deactivate the Front Defrost (MAX-DEF) function.
Selecting the footwell/windshield or only windshield
distribution activates the Climate Control system com-
pressor (LED on A/C button on) and the air recirculation
is set to#outside air#intake (LED on the recirculation
button off).
This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the windows.
It is, however, always possible to manage air recirculation
and the Climate Control system compressor manually.
Rear Window Defrosting
Push and release the rear window defrost button to turn
the function on/off.
Activation of this function is indicated by the rear defrost
indicator light on the instrument panel turning on. The
function is automatically deactivated after 20 minutes.
If equipped, push the rear defrost button to activate the
defrosting of door mirrors and heated rear window.
CAUTION!
To avoid causing damage to the rear window de-
froster heating filaments do not affix stickers or other
objects to the inside of the rear glass.

Turning Off The Climate Control System
Push the ON/OFF button.
With the Climate Control system off:
•Air recirculation is on, isolating the passenger com-
partment from the outside.
•The A/C compressor is off.
•The blower is off.
•The heated rear window can be activated/deactivated.
NOTE:The Climate Control unit stores the temperatures
set before the system was turned off and restores them
when any button of the system is pushed (except for the
A/C Control button).
To restart the Climate Control system in fully automatic
mode, push the AUTO button.
System Maintenance
In Winter, the Climate Control system must be turned on
at least once a month for approximately 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized dealership
before the summer.
NOTE:The system uses R-1234yf (refrigerant) which
does not pollute the environment in the event of acciden-
tal leakage. Under no circumstances is the use of R-134a
(refrigerant) allowed.

NOTE:
•Do not insert objects in the glove compartment that
will not allow the compartment to fully close.
•The glove compartment should be completely closed
while the vehicle is in motion.
Sun Visors “Slide-On-Rod”
Sun visors are located on both sides of the rearview
mirror. The visors can be lowered or moved to the side to
help block sunlight from entering the windshield or door
glass.
To move the sun visor against the driver or passenger
door glass, remove the sun visor from the hook and turn
it toward the side window.
The visors also have illuminated vanity mirrors to allow
use in low light conditions.
Lift upward on the mirror cover to access the mirror.

2. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a rear-facing
child restraint) must ride in the front passenger seat,
move the seat as far back as possible and use the
proper child restraint. (Refer to “Child Restraints”)
3. Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle
seat belt properly (Refer to#Child Restraints#) should
be secured in a vehicle with a rear seat in child
restraints or belt-positioning booster seats. Older chil-
dren who do not use child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled
up in a vehicle with a rear seat.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind
them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided with your
child restraint to make sure that you are using it
properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap and
shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved
back as far as practical to allow the Advanced Front
Air Bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or window. If your
vehicle has side air bags, and deployment occurs, the
side air bags will inflate forcefully into the space
between you and the door and you could be injured.
9. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be
modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact
the Customer Center. Phone numbers are provided
under#If You Need Assistance.#

SAFETY 253

The SABs may help to reduce the risk of occupant injury
during certain side impacts and/or vehicle rollover
events, in addition to the injury reduction potential
provided by the seat belts and body structure.
When the SAB deploys, it opens the seam on the out-
board side of the seatback’s trim cover. The inflating SAB
deploys through the seat seam into the space between the
occupant and the door. The SAB moves at a very high
speed and with such a high force that it could injure
occupants if they are not seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the SAB inflates. Children
are at an even greater risk of injury from a deploying air
bag.
WARNING!
Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects
between you and the Side Air Bags; the performance
could be adversely affected and/or objects could be
pushed into you, causing serious injury.
2. Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs): Located above the side windows. The trim
covering the SABICs is labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or
“AIRBAG.”

SAFETY 275

SABICs may help reduce the risk of head or other injuries
to front and rear seat outboard occupants in certain side
impacts and/or vehicle rollover events, in addition to the
injury reduction potential provided by the seat belts and
body structure.
The SABICs deploy downward, covering the side win-
dows. An inflating SABIC pushes the outside edge of the
trim out of the way and covers the window. The SABICs
inflate with enough force to injure occupants if they are
not belted and seated properly, or if items are positioned
in the area where the SABICs inflate. Children are at an
even greater risk of injury from a deploying air bag.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or
complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side
windows in certain rollover or side impact events.

WARNING!
•Your vehicle is equipped with left and right
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs). Do not stack luggage or other cargo up
high enough to block the deployment of the
SABICs. The trim covering above the side win-
dows where the SABIC and its deployment path
are located should remain free from any obstruc-
tions.
•Your vehicle is equipped with SABICs. In order for
the SABICs to work as intended, do not install any
accessory items in your vehicle which could alter
the roof. Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to your
vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require perma-
nent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation
on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the
vehicle for any reason.
The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to
activate in certain side impacts and certain rollover
events. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) de-
termines whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in
a particular side impact or rollover event is appropriate,
based on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle
damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether or not
Side Air Bags should have deployed.
Side Air Bags are a supplement to the seat belt restraint
system. Side Air Bags deploy in less time than it takes to
blink your eyes. Occupants, including children, who are
up against or very close to Side Air Bags can be seriously
injured or killed. Occupants, including children, should
never lean on or sleep against the door, side windows, or
area where the Side Air Bags inflate, even if they are in an
infant or child restraint.
