2018 JEEP RENEGADE display

available and restart the engine, using
the gear lever as described previously.
MOVING THE CAR
To move the car, from P press the brake
pedal and, using the button on the gear
lever, move the lever to the desired
position (D, R or "Sequential mode"). The
display will show the gear engaged.
When the brake pedal is released, the car
starts moving forwards or backwards, as
soon as the manoeuvre is activated
("creeping" effect). The accelerator
should not be pressed in this case.
IMPORTANT The inconsistency
between the speed actually engaged
(shown on the display) and the
position of the gear lever is indicated
by the letter corresponding to the
position of the lever flashing on the
trim (also accompanied by an acoustic
signal).
This condition should not be interpreted
as an operational fault, but simply as a
request by the system to repeat the
manoeuvre.
IMPORTANT With engine running and
car stationary, in "Sequential mode",
the request for engaging 2
ndgear is
not accepted by the system (whether
the brake pedal is pressed or not).
If, with 1stgear or reverse (R) engaged,
the following conditions occur:
road slope over 5%;clutch overheated;engine torque constant for a given
period (e.g. if the car hits the pavement
or is parked downhill/uphill);
car movement is achieved by pressing
the accelerator pedal.
IMPORTANT With the electric parking
brake released and brake pedal
released, engine at idling speed and
gear lever in position D, R or
sequential, pay the utmost care
because the car can move even
without the operation of the
accelerator pedal. This condition can
be used with the car on a level surface
during tight parking manoeuvres using
the brake pedal only.
VEHICLE SHUTDOWN
Versions equipped with a Keyless Go
system: shift the gear lever to P (Park)
before shutting down the vehicle by
pressing the button next to the steering
wheel (see fig. 108 ).Versions equipped with key without remote
control: shift the gear lever to P (Park)
before extracting the key from the
ignition device.
If the vehicle battery is flat and the
ignition key is engaged, the latter is
locked in position.
Versions with a Start&Stop system: in order
to switch off the engine, the vehicle
needs to be stopped by applying
appropriate pressure on the brake pedal.
If the pressure is not sufficient, the
engine will not switch off. This feature
can be exploited so that the engine does
not switch off in particular traffic
conditions.

Ignition key removal
The ignition key can be removed only if
the gear lever is in position P:
if the engine is switched off with the
gear lever in position P: the ignition key
can be removed within 30 seconds;
if the engine is switched off with the
gear lever in position other than P:move
the lever to P within 5 seconds. Once
this operation is completed, it will be
possible, for about 30 seconds, to extract
the ignition key.
In both cases, if the described conditions
and times are not respected, the ignition
key will be automatically locked.
To remove the key, turn it to MAR and
then to STOP, repeating the procedure
described above.
"RECOVERY" FUNCTIONS
In case of a gear lever failure, the
instrument panel display could show a
dedicated message recommending that
the driver continues driving without
shifting the lever to the P position.
In this case, the transmission will
maintain the forward gear (with reduced
performance) even if the lever is
positioned at R or N.
Once the lever is positioned at P, or after
shutting down the vehicle, selecting R or
any other forward gear will no longer be
possible. In this case, contact a Jeep
Dealership.WARNING
128)Never leave children unattended in
the car. Always remove the ignition key
when leaving the car and take the key with
you.
IMPORTANT
49)If the car is on a gradient, always
engage the electric parking brake BEFORE
placing the gear lever in P.
50)Engage reverse only with the car
stationary, engine at idling speed and
accelerator pedal fully released.
156
STARTING AND DRIVING

On some versions, with mode engaged,
the display shows "4WD LOW". The LED
on theSelec-Terrain™device may flash
until the end of the engagement.
4WD LOW mode release
The release can occur at any speed
ranging from 0 to 120 km/h.
On some versions, "4WD LOW" on the
display switches off at the end of the
release procedure.
In this case, the LED on the 4WD LOW
button is off.
IMPORTANT
51)The correct operation of the 4WD
function depends on the tyres: all of them
must have the same size, the same type
and the same circumference. Using tyres
with different sizes has negative effects on
the gear change and damages the
components of the transmission.
52)Do not drive at speeds exceeding those
that the road conditions allow for.
SELEC-TERRAIN
DRIVING MODE SELECTION
Turn knob A fig. 111 to select the
desired mode.
IMPORTANT Changing mode is not
possible when the vehicle speed is
over 120 km/h.
AUTO (Automatic): the 4WD mode with
continuous and automatic operation can
be used while driving on road and
off-road. This mode reduces fuel
consumption, because the propeller shaft
can be disconnected, whenever required.
SNOW: this mode can achieve more
stability on slippery or snow-covered
grounds. To be used for driving on-road
and off-road in the case of grounds with
poor grip, such as roads covered by snow.
SAND: off-road driving mode to be
used on surfaces with poor grip, such as
sandy surfaces. The transmission is set
to offer a maximum traction.
MUD: off-road driving mode for
surfaces with poor grip, such as
mud-covered grounds or wet grass.
ROCK(where provided, for Trailhawk
versions only): this mode is only available
if the 4WD LOW mode is activated. The
device sets the car to maximise traction
and give the highest steering capacity on
off-road surfaces featuring a high grip.
This mode guarantees the best "off-road"
performance. This mode must be used to
pass over obstacles at slow speed, such
as large rocks, deep cracks, etc.
When the engine is started, the AUTO
mode is automatically selected (LED on
close to the AUTO wording).
Turning the knob A fig. 111 the LED
close to the AUTO wording comes on

DESCRIPTION
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
driver assist device which combines the
Cruise Control functions with one for
controlling the distance from the vehicle
ahead.
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) uses a
radar sensor, located behind the front
bumper fig. 115 and a camera, located
in the middle of the windscreen fig. 116,
to detect the presence of a vehicle close
ahead.
There are two operating modes:
“Adaptive Cruise Control”mode to
maintain an adequate distance between
vehicles (the message “Adaptive CruiseControl” is shown on the instrument
panel display);
electronic “Cruise Control” modeto hold the vehicle at a constant
preset speed.
To change the operation mode, use the
button on the steering wheel (see that
described on the following pages).

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

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;
