2018 JEEP RENEGADE warning light

FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
173)
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the interruption of the fuel supply with
the engine consequently cutting out;
the automatic unlocking of the doors;turning on the lights inside the car;deactivation of climate control system
ventilation;
switching on the hazard warning lights
(to disable the lights, perform the “reset”
procedure as described below).
On some versions, the intervention of the
system is indicated by a message shown
on the display. In the same way, a
dedicated message on the display warns
the driver if system operation is
compromised.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the
vehicle for fuel leaks, for instance in
the engine compartment, under the
vehicle or near the tank area. After a
collision, bring the ignition device to
STOP to prevent the battery from
running down.
Reset procedure
To restore correct operation of the
vehicle, carry out the following procedure(this procedure must be started and
completed within less than one minute):
bring the ignition device to MAR;turn on the direction indicators on the
right, then on the left, then again on the
right and again on the left;
now deactivate the direction indicators
on the left;
bring the ignition device to STOP;move the ignition device to MAR.
LPG versions
In case of collision, the petrol feed is
immediately closed, the LPG safety
solenoid valves are closed and injection
is interrupted to stop the engine.
WARNING
173)If, after an impact, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel system, do not
reactivate the system to avoid the risk of
fire.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION GEAR
LEVER UNLOCKING

IN AN EMERGENCY

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the car under
the best conditions. For this reason, Jeep
has planned a series of checks and
services at fixed distance intervals and,
where provided, at fixed time intervals,
as described in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan.
Before each coupon however you always
need to pay attention to what is written
in the Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g.
periodically check liquid levels, tire
pressure, etc.).
The Scheduled Servicing is carried out
by the Jeep Assistance Network at
pre-set times. If, during each operation,
in addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with the
owner's explicit agreement only. If your
car is used frequently for towing, the
interval between one scheduled servicing
operation and the next should be
reduced.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the
warranty. It is advisable to inform aJeep Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the
next service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long trips
check and, if necessary, top up:
engine coolant level;brake fluid level;windscreen washer fluid level;tyre inflation pressure and condition;operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of screen washer/wiper
system and positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR
If the vehicle is used in one of the
following conditions:
Law enforcement (or security service),
taxi service
towing a trailer or caravan;dusty roads;short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;the following checks must be carried out
more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Service Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks, cleanliness
and lubrication of linkage;
visually inspect conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and rubber
elements (gaiters/sleeves/bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery fluid
level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
check and, if necessary, replace pollen
filter;
check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.

heavy conditions (dusty areas, cold climates, urban driving, long periods of idling), the maximum mileage is 60,000 km. The belt must
be replaced every 4 years regardless of the mileage.
(5) If the car runs on fuel with quality below the relevant European specification, this filter should be replaced every 20,000 km

ENGINE OIL
179)84)
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the dipstick
A. If the oil level is near or even under
the MIN line, add oil using the filler B to
reach the MAX line.
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick.
Engine oil consumption
85)4)
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of use the
engine oil consumption conditions
should be considered as having stabilised
after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
ENGINE COOLANT
180)86)
If the level is too low, unscrew the cap of
reservoir C and add the fluid described in
the "Technical Specifications" section.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHER FLUID
181) 182)
If the level is too low, lift reservoir cap D
and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
BRAKE FLUID
183) 184)87)
Check that the fluid is at the max. level.
If the fluid level in the reservoir is too
low, undo reservoir cap E and add the
fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION /

TRANSMISSION ACTUATION
SYSTEM OIL
5)
The transmission control oil level should
only be checked at a Jeep Dealership.
BATTERY
185) 186) 187) 188)6)
The battery does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled
water. A periodic check carried out at a
Jeep Dealership is, however, necessary to
check efficiency.
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this
procedure turn the steering wheel all
the way from one end to the other or
drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
IMPORTANT If the charge level
remains under 50% for a long time,
the battery is damaged by sulphation,
reducing its capacity and efficiency at
start-up.
CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a month
for about 10 minutes. Have the system
inspected at a Jeep Dealership before the
summer.
WARNING
177)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and
inflammable vapours may be present, with
the risk of fire.
