2015 JEEP RENEGADE steering

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
When engaged, the Electronic Speed Control takes over accelerator operations at
speeds greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).
The Electronic Speed Control buttons are located on the right side of the steering
wheel.
NOTE:
• In order to ensure proper operation,
the Electronic Speed Control System
has been designed to shut down if
multiple Speed Control functions are
operated at the same time. If this oc-
curs, the Electronic Speed Control
System can be reactivated by pushing
the Electronic Speed Control ON/OFF
button and resetting the desired ve-
hicle set speed.
• The Electronic Speed Control function
will not work in 4WD Low Range.
To A c t i v a t e
Push the ON/OFF button to activate the
Electronic Speed Control. The Cruise In-
dicator Light in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Infor-
mation Display (DID) will illuminate. To
turn the system off, push the ON/OFF button a second time. The Cruise Indicator
Light will turn off. The system should be turned off when not in use.
WARNING!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous. You
could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could
lose control and have an accident. Always leave the system OFF when you are not
using it.

If a Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation event begins at a speed below 20 mph
(32 km/h), the system may provide the maximum braking possible to mitigate the
potential forward collision. If the Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation event
stops the vehicle completely, the system will hold the vehicle at standstill for two
seconds and then release the brakes.
When the system determines a collision with the vehicle in front of you is no longer
probable, the warning message will be deactivated.
NOTE:
• The minimum speed for FCW activation is 4 mph (7 km/h).
• The maximum speed for FCW activation is 124 mph (200 km/h).
• The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects other than vehicles such as guard rails
or sign posts based on the course prediction. This is expected and is a part of
normal FCW activation and functionality.
• The FCW system is intended for on-road use only. If the vehicle is taken off-road,
the FCW system should be deactivated to prevent unnecessary warnings to the
surroundings.
• If the vehicle enters 4WD Low Range, the FCW system will be automatically
deactivated.
• The system is active only if the front seat belts are fastened.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor
can FCW detect every type of potential collision. The driver has the responsibility
to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to
follow this warning could lead to serious injury or death.
Turning FCW ON And OFF
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is “On”, this allows the system to warn you of a pos-
sible collision with the vehicle in front of you.
The forward collision soft button is located in the Uconnect®settings.
• Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front of you.
• Changing the FCW sensitivity:
•Near:warns the driver later
•Medium:warns between the other two possible settings
•Far:warns the driver of a possible collision earlier

Small Vehicles And/Or Not Aligned To The Lane
The system is not able to detect the presence of vehicles that are in front of the car
but placed outside the field of action of the radar sensor and could therefore not react
in the presence of small vehicles such as bicycles or motorcycles.
Lane Changing Of Other Vehicles
Vehicles that suddenly change lane, while standing in the traffic lane of their car and
inside the field of action of the radar sensor may cause the intervention of the system.
Passing Of Vehicles In An Oncoming Intersection
The system could temporarily react to a vehicle that crossed the range of the radar
sensor, in an oncoming intersection.
LANESENSE
LaneSense Operation
The LaneSense system is operational at speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below
112 mph (180 km/h). The LaneSense system uses a forward looking camera to
detect lane markings and measure vehicle position within the lane boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and the driver unintentionally drifts out of the
lane (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a haptic warning in the
form of torque applied to the steering wheel to prompt the driver to remain within the
lane boundaries. If the driver continues to unintentionally drift out of the lane, the
LaneSense system provides a visual warning through the Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID) to prompt the driver to remain
within the lane boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic warning by applying torque into the
steering wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and the driver unintentionally drifts
across the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a
visual warning through the EVIC/DID to prompt the driver to remain within the lane.
When only a single lane marking is detected, a haptic (torque) warning will not be
provided.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met, the LaneSense system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and provides an audible warning to the driver
when the driver’s hands are not detected on the steering wheel. The system will
cancel if the driver does not return their hands to the wheel.

The LaneSense system will indicate the current lane drift condition through the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID).
3.5 EVIC Screen — If Equipped
When the LaneSense system is ON, the lane lines are gray when both of the lane
boundaries have not been detected and the LaneSense indicator is solid white.
Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
• When the LaneSense system is ON, the LaneSense indicator is solid white when
only the left lane marking has been detected and the system is ready to provide
visual warnings in the EVIC if an unintentional lane departure occurs.
• When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line flashes from white to gray, the left thin
line remains solid white and the LaneSense indicator changes from solid white to
flashing yellow.
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the similar behavior for a right lane depar-
ture when only the right lane marking has been detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
• When the LaneSense system is ON, the lane lines turn from gray to white to
indicate that both of the lane markings have been detected. The LaneSense
indicator is solid green when both lane markings have been detected and the
system is “armed” to provide visual warnings in the EVIC and a torque warning in
the steering wheel if an unintentional lane departure occurs.
• When the LaneSense system senses a lane drift situation, the left thick lane line
and the left thin line turn solid white. The LaneSense indicator changes from solid
green to solid yellow. At this time torque is applied to the steering wheel in the
opposite direction of the lane boundary.

Changing LaneSense Status
The LaneSense system has settings to adjust the intensity of the torque warning and
the warning zone sensitivity (early/late) that you can configure through the
Uconnect®system screen.
NOTE:
• When enabled the system operates above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph
(180 km/h).
• Use of the turn signal suppresses the warnings.
• The system will not apply torque to the steering wheel whenever a safety system
engages. (anti-lock brakes, traction control system, electronic stability control,
forward collision warning, etc.).
PARKSENSE® REAR PARK ASSIST
The ParkSense®Rear Park Assist system provides visual and audible indications of
the distance between the rear fascia and a detected obstacle when backing up, e.g.
during a parking maneuver.
ParkSense®will retain the last system state (enabled or disabled) from the last
ignition cycle when the ignition is changed to the MAR/RUN position.
ParkSense®can be active only when the shift lever/gear selector is in REVERSE. If
ParkSense®is enabled at this shift lever position, the system will remain active until
the vehicle speed is increased to approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. When in
REVERSE and above the system's operating speed, a warning will appear within the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID).

If it’s necessary to keep the trailer hitch and hitch ball assembly mounted for a long
period, it is possible to filter out the trailer hitch and hitch ball assembly presence in
sensor field of view. The filtering operation must be performed only by an authorized
dealer.
PARKVIEW® REAR BACK UP CAMERA
The ParkView®Rear Back Up Camera that allows you to see an on-screen image of
your vehicle's rear surroundings when the shift lever is put into REVERSE. The image
will be displayed on the touchscreen display along with a note to “check entire
surroundings” across the top of the screen. After five seconds this note will
disappear. The ParkView®camera is located above the rear license plate.
When the vehicle is shifted out of RE-
VERSE (with camera delay turned OFF),
the rear camera mode is exited and the
navigation or audio screen appears again.
When the vehicle is shifted out of RE-
VERSE (with camera delay turned ON),
the camera image will continue to be
displayed for up to 10 seconds after
shifting out of REVERSE unless the ve-
hicle speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h),
the vehicle is shifted into PARK or the
ignition is switched to the STOP/OFF po-
sition.
A touchscreen button to disable the camera is available when the vehicle is not in
REVERSE. Display of the camera image after shifting out of REVERSE can be
disabled via Uconnect®Settings.
When enabled, active guide lines are overlaid on the image to illustrate the width of
the vehicle and its projected backup path based on the steering wheel position.
When enabled, fixed guide lines are overlaid on the image to illustrate the width of
the vehicle.
Different colored zones indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle.
The following table shows the approximate distances for each zone:
ZoneDistance to the rear of the vehicle
Red0-1ft(0-30cm)
Yellow1 ft - 3 ft (30 cm - 1 m)
Green3 ft or greater (1 m or greater)
NOTE:
If snow, ice, mud, or any foreign substance builds up on the camera lens, clean
the lens, rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth. Do not cover the lens.
