2016 JEEP RENEGADE lock

WARNING!(Continued)
•Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure
those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles,
you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is
running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the
EPB, shift the transmission into PARK, turn the
engine OFF, and remove the Key Fob. When the
ignition is in the STOP/OFF (key removal) posi-
tion, the transmission is locked in PARK, securing
the vehicle against unwanted movement.
•When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the
ignition is in the STOP/OFF position, remove the
Key Fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
seriously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the shift lever.
•Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle (or
in a location accessible to children), and do not
leave the ignition (of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go) in the MAR/RUN position. A
child could operate power windows, other controls,
or move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
•Before moving the shift lever out of PARK, you
must turn the ignition switch from the STOP/OFF
position to the MAR/RUN position, and also press
the brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the shift
lever could result.

344 STARTING AND OPERATING

CAUTION!(Continued)
•DO NOT race the engine when shifting from
PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this
can damage the drivetrain.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that
you have engaged the transmission into the PARK posi-
tion:
•When shifting into PARK, press the LOCK button on
the shift lever and firmly move the shift lever all the
way forward until it stops and is fully seated.
•Look at the transmission gear position display and
verify that it indicates the PARK position (P).
•With the brake pedal released, verify that the shift
lever will not move out of PARK.Reverse (R)
This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into
REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop.
Neutral (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing for prolonged
periods with the engine running. The engine may be
started in this range. Apply the electric park brake and
shift the transmission into PARK if you must leave the
vehicle.
WARNING!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the
ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe
practices that limit your response to changing traffic
or road conditions. You might lose control of the
vehicle and have a collision.

Key Ignition Park Interlock
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go:
This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter-
lock which requires the transmission to be in PARK
before the ignition can be turned to the STOP/OFF
position. Also, the transmission is locked in PARK when-
ever the ignition is in the STOP/OFF position.
Vehicles With Mechanical Key:
This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter-
lock which requires the transmission to be in PARK
before the ignition can be turned to the STOP/OFF (key
removal) position. The key can only be removed from the
ignition when the ignition is in the STOP/OFF position,
and the transmission is locked in PARK whenever the
ignition is in the STOP/OFF position.If the vehicle’s battery becomes discharged, the key will
be trapped in the ignition switch even when the shift
lever is in PARK. To extract the key, refer to “Ignition Key
Removal Override” in “In Case Of Emergency”.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Transmission Shift
Interlock system (BTSI) that holds the shift lever in PARK
unless the brakes are applied. To shift the transmission
out of PARK, the ignition switch must be turned to the
MAR/RUN position (engine running or not) and the
brake pedal must be pressed.
The brake pedal must also be pressed before pushing the
button on the shift lever to shift from NEUTRAL into
DRIVE or REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or
moving at low speeds.
350 STARTING AND OPERATING

Four Wheel Drive (4x4)
The four wheel drive (4WD) is fully automatic in normal
driving mode.
NOTE:It is not possible to carry out the change of mode
when the vehicle exceeds the speed of 75 mph
(120 km/h).
Enabling Four Wheel Drive (4x4)
The buttons for the activation of four wheel drive are
located on the device Selec-Terrain and allow you to
select the following:
•4WD LOCK
•4WD LOW — (Trailhawk models only)Active Drive Control — If Equipped
The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) is locked to ensure
immediate availability of torque to the rear drive axles.
This feature is selectable in AUTO mode and automatic in
the other driving mode. 4WD LOCK can be enabled by
the following ways:
•When the 4WD LOCK button is pushed.
Selec-Terrain Switch
356 STARTING AND OPERATING

•When the Selec-Terrain switch is rotated from AUTO
to any other off-road modes.
Active Drive With Low Control — (Trailhawk models
only)The 4WD LOW mode helps to improve the off-road
performance in all modes. To enable 4WD Low please
follow the steps below:
Enabling 4WD LOW
With the vehicle stationary, the ignition in the MAR/
RUN or with the engine running, shift the transmission
into DRIVE, REVERSE or NEUTRAL and push the but-
ton once 4WD LOW. The EVIC/DID will display the
message4WD LOWonce the shift is complete.
NOTE:
•Both LOCK and LOW LEDs will blink and then
become active on the Selec-Terrain switch until the
shift is complete.
•The EVIC display will illuminate the4WD Lowicon.

performance is no longer present, the system will return
to its full performance state. If the problem persists, see
your authorized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC/DID displays:
•FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system fault. Although
the vehicle is still drivable under normal conditions, have
the system checked by an authorized dealer.
“Wipe Front Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle” Warn-
ing
The “FCW Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked”
warning will display when conditions temporarily limit
system performance. This most often occurs at times of
poor visibility, such as in snow or heavy rain. The system
may also become temporarily blinded due to obstruc-
tions, such as mud, dirt or ice. In these cases, theEVIC/DID will display “FCW Front Radar Sensor Tem-
porarily Blocked” and the system will deactivate.
The “FCW Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked”
message can sometimes be displayed while driving in
highly reflective areas (i.e. tunnels with reflective tiles, or
ice and snow). The system will recover after the vehicle
has left these areas. Under rare conditions, when the
radar is not tracking any vehicles or objects in its path
this warning may temporarily occur.
If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver should
examine the sensor. It may require cleaning or removal of
an obstruction. The sensor is located behind the lower
grille. In absence of visible obstructions on the bumper, it
could be necessary to wipe off the radar directly on the
surface, after having the radar cover removed. It’s rec-
ommended that your authorized dealer perform’s this
operation.

STARTING AND OPERATING 365

NOTE:
•If the “FCW Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked”
message occurs frequently (e.g. more than once on
every trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or other
obstruction, have the radar sensor realigned at your
authorized dealer.
•Installing a snow plow, front-end protector, an after-
market grille or modifying the grille is not recom-
mended. Doing so may block the sensor and inhibit
FCW operation.Precautions While Driving With FCW
In certain driving conditions, such as:
•Driving in the vicinity of a curve
•Small vehicles and/or not aligned to the lane
•Lane changing of other vehicles
•Passing of vehicles in an oncoming intersection
The intervention of the system could be unexpected or
delayed. The driver must therefore always pay particular
attention, while maintaining control of the car to drive in
complete safety.
366 STARTING AND OPERATING

•For example: If approaching the left side of the lane
the steering wheel will turn to the right.
NOTE:The LaneSense system operates with the similar
behavior for a right lane departure.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. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multime-
dia” for further information.
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.).
