2018 JEEP RENEGADE ABS

72)If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if
it is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part
(e.g. another car, a wall or another
obstacle), the system may detect its
presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
settings of theUconnect™system.
73)The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular checks
of the tyre pressure, including for the
spare wheel, and correct maintenance: the
system is not used to signal a possible
fault to a tyre.
74)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres rested and cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason to check
pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than the
prescribed value. Repeat the check when
the tyres are cold.
75)Should one or more wheels be fitted
without sensors (e.g. if the spare wheel is
fitted), the system will no longer be
available for the replaced wheel and a
warning message will be shown on the
display, until the wheels with sensors are
fitted again.76)The TPMS cannot indicate sudden
tyre pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts).
In this case, stop the vehicle, braking with
caution and avoiding abrupt steering.
77)Replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa requires TPMS system
adjustment that must only be performed
by Jeep Dealerships.
78)Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The system
may temporarily indicate insufficient
pressure. In this case, check the tyre
pressure when cold and, if necessary,
restore the inflation values.
79)When a tyre is removed, it is advisable
to replace the rubber valve seal as well:
contact a Jeep Dealership. The
fitting/removal of the tyres and/or rims
require special care. To avoid damaging or
fitting the sensors incorrectly, tyre and/or
rim fitting/removal operations should only
be carried out by specialised staff.
Contact a Jeep Dealership.
IMPORTANT
33)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.34)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
35)System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.
36)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
37)Incorrect repairs made on the front
part of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis)
may alter the position of the radar sensor,
and adversely affect its operation. Go to a
Jeep Dealership for any operation of this
type.
38)Do not tamper with nor carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of
a sensor failure, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
39)When towing a trailer (with modules
installed after purchasing the vehicle), a
vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on a
vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for
transport), the system must be deactivated
via theUconnect™system.
114
SAFETY

Cars equipped with electronic key (Keyless
Enter-N-Go):at a car speed over 8 km/h
(5 mph) it is possible to switch the
engine off, also with automatic
transmission lever in a position other
than P (Parking). To switch off the engine
in this situation, hold down the ignition
device button for a while or press it
3 times in a row within a few seconds. In
this case the engine will stop and the
ignition device will switch to MAR.
WARNING
116)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
117)The brake servo is not active until
the engine is started, so you would need
to apply much more force than usual to
the brake pedal.
118)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
44)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km
(1000 miles), you do not drive to full car
performance (e.g. excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp braking,
etc.).
45)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
46)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
47)Warning light
will flash after
starting or during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault with the glow plug heating
system. If the engine starts, the vehicle
can be regularly used, but a Jeep
Dealership must be contacted as soon as
possible.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
Always remove the ignition key when
leaving the car.
When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
engage a gear (1st gear if facing uphill
or reverse if facing downhill) and leave
the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone
if the car is parked on a steep slope.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission or dual clutch automatic
transmission, wait for the letter P to be
displayed before releasing the brake
pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with
the gearbox in neutral (or, on versions
equipped with automatic transmission
or dual clutch automatic transmission,
before putting the shift lever in the P
position).
147

IMPORTANT It is dangerous to leave
the device activated when it is not
used. There is a risk of inadvertently
activating it and losing control of the
vehicle due to unexpected excessive
speed.
Deactivation
With the device active, to deactivate it
press and release the
button. The
display will show a dedicated message.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
The device can be set only with speeds
above 30 km/h (or 20 mph for markets
with instrument panels giving mph) and
under 160 km/h (or 100 mph for
markets with instrument panels
giving mph).
When the vehicle reaches the desired
speed, press and release the button SET
+ or SET to set the speed to the current
speed. The display will show the set
speed. Then take your foot off the
accelerator pedal.
The system cannot be set
when pressing the brake pedal;when the brakes are overheated;when the electric parking brake is
engaged;
when the shift lever is in the P (park),
R (reverse) or N (neutral) positions
(versions with automatic transmission orautomatic transmission with double
clutch);
when the shift lever is in the R
(reverse), neutral or in 1st (first gear
engaged) positions (versions with manual
transmission);
when the clutch is pressed (versions
with manual transmission);
when the engine speed exceeds a
maximum threshold (versions with
manual transmission and versions with
automatic transmission/automatic
transmission with double clutch) or goes
below a minimum threshold (only
versions with manual transmission);
when the car speed is not within the
settable speed range;
when the ESC (or ABS or other
stability control systems) are operating or
have just operated;
when the ESC system is off;during automatic braking by the
Forward Collision Warning Plus system
(where provided);
when the Speed Limiter is active;when the electronic Cruise Control is
active;
in case of failure of the device;when the engine is off;in case of obstruction of the radar
sensor (in this case the bumper area
where it is located must be cleaned).
IMPORTANT The device does not
deactivate on reaching speeds higher
than those that can be set (160 km/h
or 100 mph for instrument panel set
to mph) with the accelerator pedal
pressed. In these conditions, the
device may not work correctly and it is
advisable to deactivate it.
CHANGING SPEED
Speed increase
After having set the device, the stored
speed can be stored by holding the SET
+ button pressed.
Press the SET + button once: the set
speed will increase by 1 km/h (or by
1 mph when the measurement unit is set
to mph). Each touch of the button once
will increase the speed by 1 km/h (or by
1 mph, the latter for instrument panels
set to miles per hour).
Hold the SET + button pressed: the set
speed will increase in 10 km/h steps (or
in 5 mph steps when the measurement
unit is set to mph) until the button is
released. The set speed increase is
shown on the display.
Decreasing speed
After having set the device, the stored
speed can be reduced by holding the
SET – button pressed.
164
STARTING AND DRIVING

the device keeps working if the radar
sensor is obstructed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then press the RES button and
release it.
WARNING
134)Pay the utmost attention while
driving at all times and be always ready to
press the brakes if needed.
135)The system is an aid for the driver,
who must always pay full attention while
driving. The responsibility always rests
with the driver, who must take into
account the traffic conditions in order to
drive in complete safety. The driver must
always maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front.
136)The device is not activated in
presence of pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles in the opposite direction of travel
or moving in the crosswise direction and
stationary objects (e.g. a vehicle standing
in a queue or a broken down vehicle).
137)The device cannot take account of
road, traffic and weather conditions, and
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. fog).138)The device does not always fully
recognise complex driving conditions that
could cause it to determine the safe
distance to be held incorrectly or not at
all.
139)The device cannot apply the
maximum braking force: the car will not
be stopped completely.IMPORTANT
54)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
55)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
56)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
57)Incorrect repairs made on the front
part of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis)
may alter the position of the radar sensor,
and adversely affect its operation. Go to a
Jeep Dealership for any operation of this
type.58)Do not tamper with nor carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of
a sensor failure, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
59)Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.
60)Be careful in the case of repairs and
new paintings in the area around the
sensor (panel covering the sensor on the
left side of the bumper). In the event of a
frontal impact the sensor may
automatically deactivate and display a
warning to indicate that the sensor needs
to be repaired. Even without a malfunction
warning, deactivate the system operation if
you think that the position of the radar
sensor has changed (e.g. due to low-speed
frontal impact as during parking
manoeuvres). In these cases, go to a Jeep
Dealership to have the radar sensor
realigned or replaced.
167

GENERAL WARNINGS
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the parking system:
reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to the
presence of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint,
on the surface of the sensor;
the sensor may detect a non-existent
obstacle ("echo interference") due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle, in rain (strong
wind), hail;
the signals sent by the sensor can
also be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic brake
systems of trucks or pneumatic drills)
near the vehicle;
Parking assistance system
performance can also be influenced by
the position of the sensors, for example
due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock absorbers,
suspension), or by changing tyres,
overloading the vehicle or carrying out
specific tuning operations that require
the vehicle to be lowered.
the presence of a tow hook without
trailer, which may interfere with the
correct operation of the parking sensors.
Before using theParkSense®system, it
is recommended to remove the
removable tow hook ball assembly andthe relevant attachment from the vehicle
when the latter is not used for towing
operations. Failure to comply with this
prescription may cause personal injuries
or damage to vehicles or obstacles since,
when the continuous acoustic signal is
emitted, the tow hook ball is already in a
position that is much closer to the
obstacle than the rear bumper. If you
wish to leave the tow hook fitted without
towing a trailer, it is advisable to contact
a Jeep Dealership for the relevant system
update operations because the tow hook
could be detected as an obstacle
ParkSense®by the central sensors.
the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Thus take care not to place
adhesives on the sensors.
WARNING
140)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always make
sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the
route you want to take. The parking
sensors are an aid for the driver, but the
driver must never allow their attention to
lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds.
170
STARTING AND DRIVING

OPERATION WITH A TRAILER
The system is automatically deactivated
when the trailer's electric plug is inserted
in the vehicle's tow hook socket. The rear
sensors are automatically reactivated
when the trailer's cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the Side Distance
Warning system:
reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to the
presence of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint,
on the surface of the sensor;
the sensor may detect a non-existent
obstacle ("echo interference") due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle, in rain (strong
wind), hail;

the vehicle to be lowered.
the presence of a tow hook without
trailer, which may interfere with the
correct operation of the parking sensors.
Before using the ParkSense system, it is
recommended to remove the removable
tow hook ball assembly and the relevant
attachment from the vehicle when the
latter is not used for towing operations.
Failure to comply with this prescription
may cause personal injuries or damage to
vehicles or obstacles since, when the
continuous acoustic signal is emitted,
the tow hook ball is already in a position
that is much closer to the obstacle than
the rear bumper. If you wish to leave the
tow hook fitted without towing a trailer, it
is advisable to contact a Jeep Dealership
for the ParkSense system update
operations because the tow hook could
be detected as an obstacle by the central
sensors.
The presence of stickers on the
sensors can adversely affect the correct
operation of the system. Therefore, take
care not to place adhesives on the
sensors.
IMPORTANT
66)The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. While cleaning the
sensors, make sure not to scratch or
damage them; avoid using dry, rough or
hard cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
67)Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the area
of the sensors carried out by a Jeep
Dealership. Incorrect paint application
could affect the operation of the parking
sensors.

LANESENSE SYSTEM (lane
crossing warning)
DESCRIPTION
68) 69) 70) 71) 72) 73)
The LaneSense system makes use of a
camera located on the windscreen to
detect the lane limits and calculate the
position of the vehicle within such limits,
in order to make sure that it remains
inside the lane.
When both limits of the lane are detected
and the vehicle crosses one of them
without the awareness of the driver
(direction indicator off), the system
provides a tactile warning by applying
torque to the steering wheel, signalling
the driver that he must take an action to
remain into the lane.
If the vehicle continues going beyond the
line of the lane without any intervention
from the driver, the
warning light (or
the corresponding graphic icon on the
reconfigurable multifunction display) will
be displayed on the instrument panel to
urge the driver to bring the vehicle back
into the limits of the lane.
IMPORTANT The system monitors the
presence of the driver's hands on the
steering wheel. If they are not detected,the system emits an acoustic signal and
deactivates until it is reactivated by
pressing the dedicated button.
When one limit of the lane is detected
and the vehicle crosses it (direction
indicator off), warning light
(or the
icon on the reconfigurable multifunction
display) will be displayed on the
instrument panel to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back into the lane. In
this case, the tactile warning (torque on
the steering wheel) is not provided.
SYSTEM ON/OFF
When the engine is started the system is
activated (LED on buttonfig. 129 off).
Each time the engine is started, the
system keeps the activation status there
was when it was previously switched off.Activation conditions
Once switched on, the system becomes
active only if the following conditions are
met:
the driver always keeps at least one
hand on the steering wheel;
vehicle speed ranges within 60 km/h
and 180 km/h (or equivalent values in
miles);
the lane limit lines are perfectly
visible on both sides;
there are suitable visibility conditions;the road is straight or with wide radius
bends;
a suitable distance is kept from the
vehicle in front;
the direction indicator (for leaving the
lane) is not active;
the lane limit lines are perfectly
visible on both sides (for activation of the
tactile warning only).
NOTE The system does not apply torque
to the steering wheel every time a safety
system is activated (brakes, ABS, ASR
system, ESC system, Forward Collision
Warning Plus system, etc.).

STARTING AND DRIVING

IMPORTANT
68)The camera may have limited or
absent operation due to weather
conditions such as: heavy rain, hail, thick
fog, heavy snow, formation of ice layers on
the windscreen.
69)Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g.
vehicles that are driving not aligned with
yours, vehicle driving in a transverse or
opposite way on the same lane, bend with
a small radius of curvature), by road
surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make
sure the windscreen is always clean. Use
specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windscreen. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
70)Projecting loads on the roof of the
vehicle may interfere with the correct
operation of the camera. Before starting
make sure the load is correctly positioned,
in order not to cover the camera operating
range.71)If the windscreen must be replaced
due to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively a Jeep Dealership. Do
not replace the windscreen on your own,
risk of malfunction! It is advisable to
replace the windscreen if it is damaged in
the area of the camera.
72)Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact a Jeep Dealership.
73)Do not cover the operating range of the
camera with stickers or other objects. Also
pay attention to other objects on the
bonnet (e.g. a layer of snow) and make
sure they do not interfere with the camera
