2016 JEEP RENEGADE brake

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 electro-
mechanical power steering, greater force is needed in
applying the brakes and steering of the vehicle.
WARNING!
•Do not use a chain for freeing a stuck vehicle.
Chains may break, causing serious injury or death.
•Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow
hooks. Tow straps may become disengaged, caus-
ing serious injury.
CAUTION!
Tow hooks are for emergency use only, to rescue a
vehicle stranded off road. Do not use tow hooks for
tow truck hookup or highway towing. You could
damage your vehicle.
