2018 JEEP RENEGADE engine

Warning light What it means
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light (or the icon on the display) on some versions switches on when the engine is
overheated. The display shows the dedicated message.
When driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully
open the cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light switches on (or
the icon is displayed) again, contact a Jeep Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down and, if
the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and
slightly accelerated to further favour the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check the correct
coolant level as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a
few minutes before switching it off.

properly.
The warning light on constantlysignals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system which could cause
high exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high consumption.
On some versions, the display shows the dedicated message.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but it is still stored by the system.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed but without demanding
excessive effort from the engine or high speed. Prolonged use of the vehicle with the warning light on
constantly may cause damage.
Contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged. Release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing.
