2018 JEEP RENEGADE engine

178)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
179)If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler cap, particularly for
vehicles with aluminium cap (where
provided). WARNING: risk of burns!
180)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
181)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Repeated operation of
the system without fluid could damage or
cause rapid deterioration of some system
components.
182)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.183)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
184)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral-based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
185)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
186)Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
187)If the vehicle must remain unused
for a long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.
188)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
IMPORTANT
83)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping
up with an unsuitable fluid could severely
damage your vehicle.
84)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX reference.
85)Do not add oil with specifications
other than those of the oil already in the
engine.
86)PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze fluid is used
in the engine cooling system; use the
same fluid type as that already in the
cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UPmay not be mixed with other
types of anti-freeze fluids. In the event of
topping up with an unsuitable product,
under no circumstances start the engine
and contact a Jeep Dealership.
87)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

88)Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing your
vehicle, if you wish to install any
accessories (e.g. anti-theft, radio phone,
etc.), go to a Jeep Dealership, which will
suggest the most suitable devices and
advise you whether a higher capacity
battery needs to be installed.
IMPORTANT
4)Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. To change the oil and filters,
it is advisable to contact a Jeep Dealership
5)Used transmission oil contains
substances that may be dangerous for the
environment. It is advisable to contact a
Jeep Dealership to have the fluid changed.
6)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
BATTERY RECHARGING
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT After placing the ignition
device to STOP and having closed the
driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery.
When reconnecting the electrical
supply to the battery, make sure that
the ignition device is in the STOP
position and the driver side door is
closed.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.
IMPORTANT The cables of the
electrical system must be correctly
reconnected to the battery, i.e. the
positive cable (+) to the positive
terminal and the negative cable (–) to
the negative terminal. The battery
terminals are marked with the positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols, and are
shown on the battery cover. The battery
terminals must also be corrosion-free
and firmly secured to the terminals. If
a "quick-type" battery charger is used
with the battery fitted on the vehicle,before connecting it disconnect both
cables of the battery itself. Do not use
a "quick-type" battery charger to
provide the starting voltage.
VERSIONS WITHOUT
STOP/START SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the charger;when it is recharged, turn the charger
off before disconnecting it from the
battery;
reconnect the negative battery
terminal.
VERSIONS WITH STOP/START
SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:disconnect the connector A
fig. 202 (pressing the button B) from the
sensor C monitoring the battery
conditions, on the negative pole (–) D of
the battery;
connect the positive cable (+) of the
battery charger to the positive battery
terminal E and the negative cable (–) to
sensor terminal D as shown;
turn on the battery charger. At the end
of the charging process, switch the

IMPORTANT Do not operate the rear
window wiper with the blade lifted
from the rear window.
Windscreen washer
The windscreen jets, located on the
bonnet, are fixed.
If there is no jet of fluid, firstly check
that there is fluid in the reservoir (see
paragraph “Engine compartment” in this
chapter). Then check that the nozzle
holes are not clogged; use a needle to
unblock them if necessary.
IMPORTANT In versions with a sun
roof, make sure that the sun roof is
closed before operating the window
washer jets.
Rear window washer
The rear window washer jets are fixed.
The nozzle holder is located above the
rear window.
WARNING
189)The air intake system (air cleaner,
rubber hoses, etc.) can be a protection in
the case of blowbacks from the engine.
DO NOT REMOVE this system unless you
need to carry out repair or servicing
operations. Before starting the engine,
ensure that the system has not been
removed: failure to observe this precaution
may result in serious injury.
190)Exhaust emissions are very
dangerous, and may be lethal. They
contain carbon monoxide, a colourless,
odourless gas which can cause fainting
and poisoning if inhaled.
191)The exhaust system may reach high
temperatures and may cause a fire if the
vehicle is parked on flammable material.
Dry grass or leaves can also catch fire if
they come into contact with the exhaust
system. Do not park or use the vehicle in a
place in which the exhaust system might
come into contact with flammable
material.
IMPORTANT
89)Incorrect servicing of the vehicle or
failure to carry out operations or repairs
(when necessary) may lead to more
expensive repairs, damage to other
components or have a negative impact on
the vehicle performance. Have any
malfunction inspected immediately by a
Jeep Dealership.
90)The vehicle is equipped with fluids
which are optimised or protecting its
performance and life and extending
service intervals. Do not use chemicals for
washing these components since they may
damage the engine, the gearbox or the
climate control system. This damage is not
covered by the vehicle’s warranty. If any
component needs to be washed due to
malfunctioning, use only the specific
liquid for that procedure.
91)An excessive or insufficient amount of
oil inside the base is extremely damaging
to the engine. Make sure it is always at an
adequate level.

92)Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the vehicle.
Some non-approved coolants are
flammable and may explode, with the risk
of injuries. The use of non-approved
coolants or lubricants may adversely affect
system efficiency, leading to expensive
repairs.
93)The air conditioner system contains
coolant under high pressure: to avoid
injuries to people or damage to the
system, any coolant addition or repair that
requires to disconnect the cables must be
carried out by a Jeep Dealership.94)Vehicles equipped with catalytic
converter must be fuelled only with
unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol would
permanently damage the catalytic
converter and eliminate its ability to
reduce polluting emissions, seriously
compromising the engine performance,
which would be irreparably damaged. If
the engine does not work correctly,
especially if it starts irregularly or if there
is a reduction of its performance,
immediately go to a Jeep Dealership.
Prolonged and faulty operation of the
engine may cause overheating of the
converter and, as a consequence, possible
damage to the converter and the vehicle.
95)Using a gearbox fluid different from
that approved may compromise
gearshifting quality and/or cause vibration
of the gearbox itself.
96)It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by a Jeep Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations
and small servicing interventions
personally on the vehicle, it is
recommended to use suitable equipment,
genuine spare parts and the necessary
fluids. Do not carry out any interventions if
you don't have the necessary experience.LIFTING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle is to be lifted, go to a Jeep
Dealership which is equipped with the
arm lift or workshop lift.
