2018 JEEP RENEGADE warning lights

The icons shown on the display indicate:A: rear left seat belt;B: rear central seat belt;C: rear right seat belt.
NOTE On versions equipped with
multifunction display, if a seat belt is
unfastened, the
icon lights up.
The icons are displayed according to the
corresponding seat belts in the rear
seats, and stay on for about 30 seconds
from the last seat belt status change:
if the seat belt is fastenedthe
corresponding icon will be green;
if the seat belt is unfastenedthe
corresponding icon will be red.
If a rear seat belt is unfastened, an
acoustic warning (3 "beeps") will beactivated along with the relevant icon
lighting up in the display.
Furthermore the icons will light up again
for 90 seconds each time one of the rear
doors is closed.
The icon will turn green after the
corresponding seat belt has been
fastened.
The rear seat icons will go out, regardless
of the state of the belt (red icon or green
icon), approximately 30 seconds after the
last signal.
IMPORTANT NOTES
As far as the rear seats are concerned,
the SBR system will only indicate
whether the seat belts are unfastened
(red icon) or fastened (green icon), not
the presence of any passengers.
The warning lights/icons are all off if all
seat belts (front and rear) are fastened
when the ignition device is at MAR.
For the rear seats, the icons will activate
a few seconds after the ignition device
has been turned to MAR, regardless of
the status of the seat belts (even if the
seat belts are all fastened).
All the warning lights/icons will come on
when at least one belt changes from
fastened to unfastened status or vice
versa.
PRETENSIONERS
84) 85) 86) 87)43)
The vehicle is equipped with front seat
belt pretensioners, which draw back the
seat belts by several centimetres in the
event of a strong frontal impact. This
guarantees the perfect adherence of the
seat belts to the occupant's bodies before
the retention action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
toward the retractor.
This vehicle is also equipped with a
second pretensioner (fitted in the kick
plate area). Its activation is signalled by
the shortening of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not indicate any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any changes
to its original conditions will invalidate
its efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events (floods,
sea storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and/or mud, contact a
Jeep Dealership to have it replaced.

STARTING THE ENGINE
116) 117) 118)44) 45) 46) 47)
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown on the
display.
LPG versions
The engine always starts up on petrol
independently of the previously selected
mode.
There must therefore always be some
petrol in the tank to protect the petrol
pump and to guarantee temporary
switching from Methane or LPG to petrol
operation, if high performance is
required.
PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS

place the gear lever in neutral;
bring the ignition device to MAR. On
Diesel versions, waning lightlights upin the instrument panel: wait for the
warning light to switch off;
fully depress the clutch pedal without
touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;
if the engine does not start within
10 seconds, bring the ignition device
back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure.
PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS

vehicle. Contact a Jeep Dealership if
the engine still does not start.
ENGINE STARTING FAILURE
Starting the engine with electronic key
battery (Keyless Enter-N-Go) run down or
flat
If the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run down
or flat. Therefore, the system does not
detect the presence of the electronic key
on board the vehicle and displays a
dedicated message.
In this case, rest the rounded edge of the
electronic key (the side opposite the
metal insert) on the ignition device and
press the button by the electronic key.
The ignition device is thus activated and
the engine can be started.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Proceed as follows:park the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic; engage a
gear (versions with manual gearbox) or
position the gear lever to P (Parking)
(versions with automatic transmission);
turn the ignition device to STOP with
the engine idling.

STARTING AND DRIVING

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
(EPB)
The electric parking brake (EPB)
guarantees better use and optimal
performance compared to a manually
operated parking brake.
The electric parking brake features a
switch, located on the central tunnel
fig. 104, a motor with caliper for each
rear wheel and an electronic control
module.
IMPORTANT Always engage the
electric parking brake before leaving
the car.IMPORTANT In addition to always
parking the car with the parking brake
engaged, the steering wheel turned,
chocks or stones positioned in front of
the wheels (when on a steep slope),
always engage a gear (first gear with
the car parked facing uphill or reverse
gear with the car parked facing
downhill). On versions with automatic
transmission, place the gear lever at P
(Park).
IMPORTANT Should the vehicle
battery be faulty, to unlock the electric
parking brake the battery must be
replaced.
The electric parking brake can be
engaged in two ways:
manually, by pressing the
fig. 104 switch on the central tunnel;
automaticallyin "Safe Hold" or "Auto
Park Brake" conditions.
Engaging the parking brake manually
119) 120) 121)
Briefly pull the switch located on the
central tunnel to manually engage the
electric parking brake when the car is
stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the electric
parking brake.A slight movement of the brake pedal
may be detected when engaging the
electric parking brake with the brake
pedal pressed.
With the electric parking brake engaged,
the
warning light on the instrument
panel and the switch LED turn on.
IMPORTANT With the EPB failure
warning light on, some functions of the
electric parking brake are deactivated.
In this case the driver is responsible
for brake activation and vehicle
parking in complete safety conditions.
If, under exceptional circumstances, the
use of the brake is required with the
vehicle in motion, keep the switch on the
central tunnel pulled as long as the brake
action is necessary.
The
warning light may switch on with
the hydraulic system temporarily
unavailable; in this case braking is
controlled by the motors.
The brake lights (stop) will also
automatically switch on in the same way
as for normal braking with the use of the
brake pedal.
Release the switch on the central tunnel
to stop the braking action with the car in
motion.
If, through this procedure, the vehicle is
braked until a speed below 3 km/h is

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.

VERSIONS WITH 12 SENSORS
The parking sensors, located in the front
(fig. 121 ) and rear (fig. 122 ) bumpers,
are used to detect the presence of any
obstacles near the front and rear part of
the vehicle.
The sensors warn the driver about the
presence of obstacles with an
intermittent acoustic signal and, where
provided, also with visual indications on
the instrument panel display.
On/off
To disengage the system press button
fig. 120.
When the system passes from engaged to
disengaged and vice versa, it is always
accompanied by a dedicated message on
the instrument panel display.
System on: LED off.
System off: LED lighted continuously.
The LED lights up even if the
ParkSense®system does not. If the
button is pressed with a system failure,the LED flashes for about 5 seconds,
then it stays on constantly.
IMPORTANT After theParkSense®has
been disengaged, it will stay in this
condition until the following
engagement, even if the ignition
device passes from MAR to STOP and
then again to MAR.
System activation/deactivation
When the reverse gear is engaged and
the system is on, the front and rear
sensors are activated. If a different gear
is engaged, the rear sensors are
deactivated, while the front sensors
remain active until a speed of 15 km/h is
exceeded.
Operation with a trailer
The operation of the rear sensors is
automatically deactivated when the
trailer's electric cable plug is inserted in
the tow hook socket of the car, while the
front sensors stay active and can provide
acoustic and visual warnings. The rear
sensors are automatically reactivated
when the trailer's cable plug is removed.
