2016 JEEP RENEGADE ECO mode

In automatic operation, recirculation is managed auto-
matically by the system according to outside environ-
mental conditions.
NOTE:
•Use of the recirculation system makes it possible to
reach the required heating/cooling conditions faster. It
is not recommended to use it on rainy/cold days as it
would considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting up inside (especially if the Climate
Control system is off). When the outside temperature
is low, recirculation is forced off (air drawn in from the
outside) to prevent the windows from misting up.
•It is not recommended to use internal air recirculation
when the outside temperature is low, since the win-
dows could mist up rapidly.
•When defrost mode is selected recirculation is turned
off to prevent the windows from misting up.Climate Control System Compressor
Push the A/C Control button to activate/deactivate the
compressor (activation is indicated by the LED on the
button turning on).
The system remembers that the compressor has been
turned off, even after the engine has stopped.
Pushing the A/C button will stop AUTO MODE (AUTO
LED will turn off). To restore automatic control of com-
pressor, push the AUTO button again.
NOTE:With the compressor off, air cannot be introduced
to the passenger compartment with a temperature lower
than the outside temperature. Under certain environmen-
tal conditions, windows could mist rapidly since the air
is not dehumidified.

Odometer
The odometer display shows the total distance the ve-
hicle has been driven.
U.S. Federal regulations require that upon transfer of
vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the
correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. If your
odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair
technician should leave the odometer reading the same
as it was before the repair or service. If s/he cannot do so,then the odometer must be set at zero, and a sticker must
be placed in the door jamb stating what the mileage was
before the repair or service.
It is a good idea for you to make a record of the odometer
reading before the repair/service, so that you can be sure
that it is properly reset, or that the door jamb sticker is
accurate if the odometer must be reset at zero.
Tachometer
Reports the number of Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) of
the engine.
Fuel Gauge
The digital indicator on the display indicates the amount
of fuel in the fuel tank.
When the fuel tank level drops to 1.3-1.85 gallons (5-7
liters) remaining, a light will illuminate, a message will
display, and a chime will sound.

ESC On – Two Wheel Drive Vehicles And Four Wheel
Drive Vehicles In 2WD And 4WD High Range
This is the normal operating mode for ESC when oper-
ating a two-wheel drive vehicle. It is also the normal
mode for operating a four-wheel drive vehicle in 2WD or
4WD HIGH range. The ESC system will be in “ESC On”
mode whenever the vehicle is started or the power
transfer unit (if equipped) is shifted out of 4WD LOW
range. This mode should be used for most driving
situations. ESC should only be turned to “Partial Off” or
“Full Off” for specific reasons as noted. Refer to “Partial
Off” and to “Full Off” for additional information.
NOTE:It is recommended to select the modePartial Off
orFull Offonly for specific reasons.Partial Off – Two Wheel Drive Vehicles And Four
Wheel Drive Vehicles In 2WD And 4WD High Range
The “Partial Off” mode is intended for driving in deep
snow, sand, or gravel. This mode raises the threshold for
TCS and ESC activation, which allows for more wheel
spin than what ESC normally allows.
ESC OFF Button
252 SAFETY

Full Off – Four-Wheel Drive Vehicles In 4WD High
And 4WD Low Range
The “Full Off” mode is intended for off-highway and
off-road use when ESC stability features could inhibit
vehicle maneuverability due to trail conditions. The “ESC
Off” button is located in the lower switch bank above the
climate control panel. To enter “Full Off” mode, push and
hold the “ESC Off” button for five seconds while the
vehicle is stopped with the engine running. After five
seconds, the ESC Off indicator light will illuminate and
an “ESC Off” message will appear in the odometer.
In this mode, ESC and TCS are turned off (except for the
“limited slip” feature described in the TCS section) until
the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). At
speeds over 40 mph (64 km/h), the system automatically
switches to “Partial Off” mode, described above. When
the vehicle speed returns to less than 35 mph (56 km/h),
the ESC system will return to “Full Off” mode. The ESCOFF indicator light is always illuminated when ESC is
off. To turn ESC on again, momentarily push the “ESC
Off” button. This will restore the normal “ESC On” mode
of operation.
NOTE:With the ESC switched off, the enhanced vehicle
stability offered by ESC is unavailable. In an emergency
evasive maneuver, the ESC system will not engage to
assist in maintaining stability. “Full Off” mode is only
intended for off-highway or off-road use.
NOTE:
•“Full Off” is the only operating mode for ESC in 4WD
LOW range. The ESC system will be in this mode
whenever the vehicle is started in 4WD LOW range or
the power transfer unit is shifted into 4WD LOW
range.
