2015 JEEP RENEGADE steering

CAUTION!
• Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to transmission overheatingand failure. Allow the engine to idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL for atleast one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimizeoverheating and reduce the risk of clutch or transmission failure duringprolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting between DRIVE/2nd gear and
REVERSE, do not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain
damage may result.
• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds
may cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and tires. A tire could explode and
injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h)
or for longer than 30 seconds continuously without stopping when you are stuck
and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
EMERGENCY TOW HOOKS
If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, there will be one in the rear and two
mounted on the front of the vehicle. The rear hook will be located on the driver's side
of the vehicle.
NOTE:
For off-road recovery, it is recommended to use both of the front tow hooks to
minimize the risk of damage to the vehicle.
Vehicles Equipped With RKE Transmitter With An Integrated Vehicle Key
Turn the ignition key to the MAR/RUN and then STOP/OFF position, without
removing it. By extracting the key this will automatically engage the steering wheel
lock. Place the transmission into NEUTRAL.
Vehicles With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
Place the ignition in the RUN and subsequently on STOP, without opening the door.
During towing remember that not having the aid of the power brakes and the
electromechanical power steering, greater force is needed in applying the brakes and
steering of the vehicle.

FUSES
WARNING!
• When replacing a blown fuse, always use an appropriate replacement fuse with
the same amp rating as the original fuse. Never replace a fuse with another
fuse of higher amp rating. Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires or any
other material. Failure to use proper fuses may result in serious personal injury,
fire and/or property damage.
• Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition is off and that all the other
services are switched off and/or disengaged.
• If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an authorized dealer.
• If a general protection fuse for safety systems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system, gearbox system) or steering system blows,
contact an authorized dealer.

WARNING!
• Do not to affix objects/plugs to the end of the filler neck other than is provided
on the car.
• The use of objects/plugs do not comply with the vehicle and may cause
pressure increases inside the tank, creating dangerous conditions.
• Do not approach the neck of the tank with open flames or lit cigarettes its an
extreme fire hazard. Also, avoid close contact with the filler pipe with your face,
do not inhale harmful vapors.
• Do not use your mobile phone in the vicinity of the pump fuel nozzle, it can be
a possible risk of fire.
TIRE PRESSURES
Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire (if equipped), at
least monthly and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading
Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD
for more information regarding tire warn-
ings and instructions.
WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure,
affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-
inflation increases tire flexing and can result in over-heating and tire failure.
Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and
chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire
pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control. Always drive with each tire
inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
