2017 JEEP RENEGADE warning

WARNING!
Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause
excessive wear or unpredictable braking. You might
not have full braking power when you need it to
prevent a collision. If you have been operating your
vehicle in dirty conditions, get your brakes checked
and cleaned as necessary.
• If you experience unusual vibration after driving in
mud, slush or similar conditions, check the wheels for
impacted material. Impacted material can cause a wheel
imbalance and freeing the wheels of it will correct the
situation.

HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS
The Hazard Warning flasher switch is located on the switch
bank below the radio.Push the switch to turn on the Hazard Warning
Flasher. When the switch is activated, all directional
turn signals will flash on and off to warn oncoming traffic
of an emergency. Push the switch a second time to turn off
the Hazard Warning flashers.
This is an emergency warning system and it should not be
used when the vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and it is creating a safety hazard for
other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to seek assistance, the
Hazard Warning flashers will continue to operate even
though the ignition is placed in OFF mode.
NOTE: With extended use the Hazard Warning flashers
may wear down your battery.
ASSIST AND 9-1-1 — IF EQUIPPED
If equipped, the overhead console contains an ASSIST and
a 9-1-1 button.
WARNING!

4. You should be able to speak with the 9-1-1 operatorthrough the vehicle audio system to determine if addi-
tional help is needed.
WARNING!
ALWAYS obey traffic laws and pay attention to the
road. Some Uconnect Access services, including 9-1-1
and Assist, will NOT work without an operable
1X(voice/data) or 3G(data) network connection.
NOTE: •Your vehicle may be transmitting data as authorized
by the subscriber.
• Once a connection is made between the vehicle’s 9-1-1
Call system and the 9-1-1 operator, the 9-1-1 operator
may be able to open a voice connection with the
vehicle to determine if additional help is needed. Once
the 9-1-1 operator opens a voice connection with the
vehicle’s 9-1-1 Call system, the operator should be able
to speak with you or other vehicle occupants and hear
sounds occurring in the vehicle. The vehicle’s 9-1-1
Call system will attempt to remain connected with the
9-1-1 operator until the 9-1-1 operator terminates the
connection. 5. The 9-1-1 operator may attempt to contact appropriate
emergency responders and provide them with impor-
tant vehicle information and GPS coordinates.
WARNING!
•If anyone in the vehicle could be in danger (e.g., fire
or smoke is visible, dangerous road conditions or
location), do not wait for voice contact from a 9-1-1
operator. All occupants should exit the vehicle im-
mediately and move to a safe location.
•
The 9-1-1 Call system is embedded into the vehicle’s
electrical system. Do not add aftermarket electrical
equipment to the vehicle’s electrical system. This may
prevent your vehicle from sending a signal to initiate an
emergency call. To avoid interference that can cause the
9-1-1 Call system to fail, never add aftermarket equip-
ment (e.g., two-way mobile radio, CB radio, data re-
corder, etc.) to your vehicle’s electrical system or modify
the antennas on your vehicle. IF YOUR VEHICLE
LOSES BATTERY POWER FOR ANY REASON (IN-
CLUDING DURING OR AFTER AN ACCIDENT), THE
UCONNECT FEATURES, APPS AND SERVICES,
AMONG OTHERS, WILL NOT OPERATE.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Modifications to any part of the 9-1-1 Call system
could cause the air bag system to fail when you need
it. You could be injured if the air bag system is not
there to help protect you.
9-1-1 Call System Limitations
Vehicles sold in Canada and Mexico DO NOThave 9-1-1
Call system capabilities.
9-1-1 or other emergency line operators in Canada and
Mexico may not answer or respond to 9-1-1 system calls.
If the 9-1-1 Call system detects a malfunction, any of the
following may occur at the time the malfunction is de-
tected, and at the beginning of each ignition cycle:
• The overhead console lights located on the Assist and
9-1-1 buttons will continuously be illuminated red.
• The Device Screen will display the following message
“Vehicle Device Requires Service. Please Contact Your
Dealer.”
• An In-Vehicle Audio message will state “Vehicle Device
Requires Service. Please Contact Your Dealer.”
WARNING!
• Ignoring the Assist and 9-1-1 buttons light could
mean you will not have 9-1-1 Call services. If the
Assist and 9-1-1 buttons light is illuminated, have an
authorized dealer service the 9-1-1 Call system im-
mediately.
• The Occupant Restraint Control module turns on the
air bag Warning Light on the instrument panel if a
malfunction in any part of the system is detected. If
the air bag Warning Light is illuminated, have an
authorized dealer service the ORC system immedi-
ately.
Even if the 9-1-1 Call system is fully functional, factors
beyond FCA US LLC’s control may prevent or stop the
9-1-1 Call system operation. These include, but are not
limited to, the following factors:
• The ignition key is in OFF position.
• The vehicle’s electrical systems are not intact.
• The 9-1-1 Call system software and/or hardware are
damaged during a crash.
316 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

•The vehicle battery loses power or becomes discon-
nected during a vehicle crash.
• Operable 1X(voice/data) or 3G(data) network and/or
Global Positioning Satellite signals are unavailable or
obstructed.
• Equipment malfunction at the 9-1-1 operator facility.
• Operator error by the 9-1-1 operator.
• Operable 1X(voice/data) or 3G(data) network conges-
tion.
• Weather.
• Buildings, structures, geographic terrain, or tunnels.
WARNING!
ALWAYS obey traffic laws and pay attention to the
road. Some Uconnect Access services, including 9-1-1
and Assist, will NOT work without an operable
1X(voice/data) or 3G(data) network connection. NOTE:
•
Your vehicle may be transmitting data as authorized by
the subscriber
• Never place anything on or near the vehicle’s operable
1X(voice/data) or 3G(data) network and GPS antennas.
You could prevent operable 1X(voice/data) or 3G(data)
network and GPS signal reception, which can prevent
your vehicle from placing an emergency call. Operable
1X(voice/data) or 3G(data) network and GPS signal
reception is required for the 9-1-1 Call system to function
properly.
