2018 JEEP RENEGADE warning light

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.

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.).

IN AN EMERGENCY

insert the new bulb, making sure it is
properly blocked in the holder;
finally, refit the lenses.
WARNING
150)Before replacing the bulb, wait for
the exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER
OF SCALDING!
151)Modifications or repairs to the
electric system that are not carried out
properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the risk of
fire.
152)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
IMPORTANT
76)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching
the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb
dry.
159J0A0444C

153)Only replace the light bulbs when the
engine is off and in a position that does
not interfere with traffic and lets you
safely replace them (see the description in
the “Replacement” paragraph). Also
ensure that the engine is cold, to prevent
the risk of burns.

CHANGING PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:stop the car in a position that does
not cause any danger to traffic and lets
you change the tire in safety, as far as
possible from the edge of the driving
lane. The ground must be flat and
sufficiently compact;
engage the hazard warning lights and
the electric parking brake;
engage first gear or reverse or, for
versions with automatic transmission,
move the lever to position P (Park);
stop the engine and put on the
reflective safety jacket (for your own
safety and in compliance with national
laws) before getting out of the vehicle.
The motor must be kept off as long as
the car is lifted off the ground.
The spare tire, or depending on the
version, the temporary spare tire, are
located under the covering carpet in the
boot fig. 168.To access the tire or spare tire, proceed
as follows:
open the boot door, grab device A
fig. 169 and lift load platform B up,
holding it with one hand;
grab handle C fig. 170 and lift up the
covering carpet;

compartment, ensuring that they are
locked correctly.
IMPORTANT
Should it be absolutely necessary to
operate on the road surface or near it,
pay the utmost attention to vehicles in
transit.
Pay particular attention when using
the key to remove the bolts: it may have
sharp edges.
Raising the vehicle any more than
necessary may lower its stability: the jack
may slip and injure those nearby. Do not
raise the vehicle any more than required
for the removal of the wheel.
Tyres with unidirectional tread can be
recognised by arrows on the side of the
tyre which indicate the direction ofrotation. This must of necessity be
complied with. Only in this way can the
tyres maintain their characteristics in
terms of grip, noise, resistance to wear
and drainage on wet surfaces.
If, after a puncture, it is necessary to
fit such a tyre the wrong way round, it
will be necessary to continue driving with
great care, since the tyre’s performance
is limited in these conditions. This
precaution must be borne in mind above
all when the road surface is wet.
In order to benefit completely from
the unidirectional tread, it is advisable to
restore all wheels to the correct direction
of rotation as soon as possible.
Make sure that the spare wheel is
fitted with the valve facing outwards. The
wheel may be damaged if fitted
incorrectly.
If the vehicle has a hub cap or wheel
cover, do not attempt to fit it on the
spare wheel.
To prevent injury to persons, the
complete tightening of the bolts must
only be carried out when all of the
vehicle’s wheels are on the ground, to
prevent the vehicle falling from the jack.
After having travelled for about
40 km, stop and check that the bolts are
tightened correctly.
WARNING
159)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the luggage compartment.
160)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
161)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights,
warning triangle, etc. Any passengers on
board should leave the car, especially if it
is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed. On slopes or on
unsurfaced roads, chock the wheels with
the chocks provided.
