2018 JEEP RENEGADE ESP

Press the SET – button once: the set
speed will be reduced by 1 km/h (or by
1 mph when the measurement unit is set
to mph). Each subsequent press of the
button will reduce the speed by 1 km/h
(or by 1 mph when the measurement unit
is set to mph).
Hold the SET – button pressed: the set
speed will decrease 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 decrease is
shown on the display.
ACCELERATING WHEN
OVERTAKING
When driving with the device active and
following a vehicle, the device provides
additional acceleration to facilitate
overtaking, when travelling over a given
speed and switches on the left direction
indicator (of the right indicator for
right-hand drive versions).
RECALLING THE SPEED
Once the system has been cancelled but
not deactivated, if a speed was previously
set simply press the RES button and
remove your foot from the accelerator to
recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then press the RES button and
release it.
SETTING THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN VEHICLES
The distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead may be set to 1 bar
(short), 2 bars (medium), 3 bars (long),
4 bars (maximum) fig. 118
The distances from the vehicle ahead are
proportional to speed. The interval of
time with respect to the vehicle ahead
remains constant and varies from
1 second (for the short distance 1-bar
setting) to 2 seconds (for the maximum
distance 4-bar setting).
118J0A0918C
165

The setting is 4 (maximum) the first time
the device is used. After the distance has
been modified by the driver, the new
distance will be stored also after the
system is deactivated and reactivated.
To decrease the distance
Press and release the
button to
decrease the distance setting.
The distance setting decreases by one
bar (shorter) every time the button is
pressed.
The set speed is held if there are no
vehicles ahead. Once the shortest
distance has been reached, a further
press of the button will set the longest
distance.
The vehicle holds the set distance until:
the vehicle ahead accelerates to a
speed higher than the set speed;
the vehicle ahead leaves the lane or
the detection field of the Adaptive Cruise
Control device sensor;
the distance setting is changed;the Adaptive Cruise Control device is
deactivated/cancelled.
IMPORTANT The maximum breaking
applied by the device is limited. The
driver may apply the brakes in all
cases, if needed.IMPORTANT If the device predicts that
the braking level is not sufficient to
hold the set distance, the warning
message “BRAKE!” will blink on the
display while approaching the vehicle
ahead. An acoustic signal is also
emitted. In this case, it is advisable to
brake immediately as necessary to hold
a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
IMPORTANT The driver is responsible
for ensuring that there are no
pedestrians, other vehicles or
objectives along the direction of the
vehicle. Failure to comply with these
precautions may cause serious
accidents and injuries.
IMPORTANT The driver is fully
responsible for holding a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective
country.
DEACTIVATION
The device is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:
thebutton is pressed on the
Adaptive Cruise Control;
thebutton is pressed on the
electronic Cruise Control;
the Speed Limiter button is pressed;
the ignition device is in the STOP
position;
4WD LOW mode is activated.
The device is cancelled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
when the CANC button is pressed;when the conditions shown in the
“Setting the desired speed” paragraph
occur;
when the vehicle speed drops under
the minimum set speed (e.g. in presence
of slow vehicles).
If these conditions occur while the
system is decelerating with respect to a
vehicle ahead, the system could continue
the deceleration, if necessary, also after
it is cancelled or deactivated within the
minimum speed settable on the system.
ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL
MODE
Electronic Cruise Control mode is
available for travelling at constant speed
in addition to the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) mode.
If the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
function is implemented on the vehicle,
the electronic Cruise Control works in the
same manner as the ACC (by pressing
the
button of the Cruise Control) with
the difference that:
it does not hold the distance from the
vehicle ahead;

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.

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

PARALLEL AND
PERPENDICULAR PARKING
DESCRIPTION
Activation
The system is activated pressing the
button on the dashboard (see "On/off"
paragraph): after being selected, the
system activates in search mode.
Considering that the system recognises
parking places even when it has not been
selected, it can be activated even
immediately after passing close to a
parking place suitable for the type of car.
The system will inform the driver,
through the instrument panel display,
about the operations to be performed for
a correct manoeuvre.
Selecting the type of parking
During the search and until the reverse
gear is engaged, the preferred type can
be selected for parking:
"Parallel": the car will search a parking
place parallel to the driving direction;
"Perpendicular": the vehicle will
search a parking place perpendicular to
the driving direction.
Selection of the search side
To select the search side and perform the
correct manoeuvre, act as follows:
Select the search for the parking
place and the manoeuvre on thepassenger side placing the direction
indicator in centre position (deactivated)
or pushed upwards.
Select the search for the parking
area and manoeuvre on the driver side
pushing the direction indicator
downwards.
Search for a parking place
Through the side sensors, the system
continuously searches for a free parking
place, suitable for the car’s dimensions.
While searching the vehicle should
continue following its route at a speed of
below 30 km/h and at a distance of
around 50 cm to 1.5 m from parked
vehicles.
A parking place is considered suitable if
it is about 80 cm longer than the
dimensions of the vehicle for parking
placesparallelto the driving direction
and about 1 m per parking places
perpendicularto the driving direction,
compared to the vehicle's dimensions.
IMPORTANT While searching, vehicle
speed should not exceed 30 km/h;
when 25 km/h have been reached, the
driver is asked to decrease the speed;
if the speed of 30 km/h is exceeded, it
is deactivated (in this case, the system
can be restarted by pressing the button
on the instrument panel).
Manoeuvre
During manoeuvre, the vehicle's
movements can be controlled by
operating the accelerator, brake and
clutch pedals (versions with manual
gearbox), or the accelerator and brake
pedals (versions with automatic
transmission). Once a parking place has
been found, you will be asked to engage
reverse, leave the steering wheel and use
the pedals, while the system handles the
steering automatically to perform the
parking operation in the dedicated area.
During the manoeuvre it will be possible
to take advantage of the information
coming from the parking sensors (when
driving in reverse it is advisable to reach
the area where the rear sensors sound
continuously), but it is always advisable
to keep an eye on the surrounding area.
The car can be stopped during the
manoeuvre and, whilst remaining
stationary, reverse gear can temporarily
be released (for example, to allow a
pedestrian to go by in the area of the
manoeuvre).
The parking manoeuvre will be
interrupted in the following cases:
vehicle's speed is above 7 km/h;the steering is (voluntarily or
unintentionally) moved (by grabbing it or
preventing it from moving);
173

IMPORTANT Some messages displayed
are accompanied by acoustic warnings.
WARNING
141)Parking and other dangerous
manoeuvres are, however, always the
driver’s responsibility. While carrying out
these manoeuvres, always make sure that
no people (especially children) or animals
are in the area concerned. 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.
142)The search for the parking space and
the parking manoeuvres must be
performed in compliance with the current
regulations of the Highway Code.
143)If you wish to stop the steering wheel
with your hands during a manoeuvre, it is
advisable to handle it firmly on the outer
rim. Do not try and keep your hands on
the inside or hold the spokes.
IMPORTANT
64)The operation of the system is based
on various components: front and rear
parking sensors, side sensors, steering
system, wheels, braking system and
instrument panel. The malfunction of one
of these components could compromise
the operation of the system.
65)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.
175

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.).

Green (C) 1 m or more
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
144)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds. Always keep
a slow speed, so as to promptly brake in
the case of obstacles.
IMPORTANT
74)It is vital, for correct operation, that
the camera is always kept clean and free
from any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful
not to scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets,
clean the camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Also, do not apply stickers to the
camera.
