2018 JEEP RENEGADE ECU

ROLL OVER WARNING
The risk of rolling over for off-road vehicles is considerably higher than for any other type of vehicle. This vehicle has a higher
ground clearance and has a higher centre of gravity compared to many other vehicles for transporting passengers, so that it allows
better performance to be reached in a wide range of off-road applications. In any case, a dangerous driving style can increase the
risk of losing control of the vehicle.
The vehicle is more subject to the risk of rolling over because of the higher centre of gravity should the driver lose its control.
Therefore, avoid tight curves or other unsafe driving conditions that may lead to losing the vehicle control. Failure to comply with
these precautions may cause accidents, vehicle rolling over and severe or fatal injuries. Drive carefully.
The main cause for severe or fatal injuries is failing to wear driver and passenger seat belts. In the event of rolling over, a passenger
not wearing the seat belt is much more likely to be fatally injured than a passenger wearing it correctly. Always fasten the seat belts.
“CYBERSECURITY” DEVICESThe car is equipped with security devices developed according to the technological standards currently applied in the automotive
industry to protect the onboard electronic systems from hacking attempts. The purpose of these security devices is to minimise the
risk of cyber-attacks or the installation of viruses or malware which could compromise the performance of the car and/or allow
stealing of personal data of the buyers and/or users and/or unauthorised dissemination of said information.
The car's purchaser must not remove, modify or tamper with these anti-hacking security devices. The Manufacturer will therefore
not be liable for negative consequences and/or damage to the vehicle and/or to the buyer and/or to third parties deriving from the
removal, modification or alteration of the security devices performed by the car's purchaser and/or user.
VEHICLE CHANGES/ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in
which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

CHILD PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
88) 89) 90) 91)
For optimal protection in the event of an
impact, all occupants must be seated
and wearing adequate restraint systems,
including newborn and other children!
This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of 1.50 metres
and up to 12 years must be protected
with suitable restraint systems and be
seated on the rear seats.
Statistics on accidents indicate that the
rear seats offer greater safety for
children.
Compared with an adult, a child's head is
larger and heavier in proportion to their
body and the child's muscular and bone
structures are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems other
than adult seat belts are necessary to
reduce as much as possible the risk of
injuries in the event of an accident,
braking or sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be seated safely and
comfortably. As far as the characteristics
of the child seats used allow, you areadvised to keep children in rear facing
child seats for as long as possible (at
least until 3–4 years old), since this is
the most protected position in the event
of an impact.
The choice of the most suitable child
restraint system depends on the weight
and size of the child. There are various
types of child restraint systems, which
can be secured to the car by means of
the seat belts or with the ISOFIX/i-Size
anchorages.
It is recommended to always choose the
restraint system most suitable for the
child; for this reason always refer to the
Owner Handbook provided with the child
restraint system, to be sure that it is of
the right type for the children it is
intended for.
In Europe the characteristics of child
restraint systems are ruled by the
regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:
Group Weight range
Group 0 up to 10 kg
Group 0+up to 13 kg in
weight
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group Weight range
Group 2 15 - 25 kg
Group 3 22 - 36 kg
The ECE-R44 standard was recently
paired with the ECE R-129 regulation,
which defines the characteristics of the
new i-Size child restraint systems (see
the "Suitability of passenger seats for
i-Size child restraint system use"
paragraph).
All restraint devices must bear the
type-approval data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori MOPAR
®includes child
restraint systems for each weight group.
These devices are recommended, having
been specifically designed for Jeep
vehicles.
IMPORTANT For correct installation on
the vehicle, some universal child
restraint systems require an accessory
(base) sold separately by the restraint
system's producer. Therefore, FCA
advises customers to check that their
chosen child restraint system can be
installed on their vehicle by performing
122
SAFETY

a trial installation, on the vendor's
premises, before purchase.
FITTING A CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM WITH SEAT BELTS
92) 93) 94) 99)
The Universal child restraint systems
installed with the seat belts only are
type-approved on the basis of the ECE
R44 standard and are divided into
various weight groups.
IMPORTANT The figures are indicative
and provided for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which
must be included.
Group 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried with
a rear facing child restraint system of a
type as shown in fig. 89 which,
supporting the head, does not induce
stress on the neck in the event of sudden
decelerations.
The child restraint system is secured by
the vehicle seat belts, as shown in
fig. 89 and it must restrain the child in
turn with its own belts.Group 1
Children weighing from 9 to 18 kg may
be transported in forward facing child
restraint systems fig. 90.

92)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a
restraint system for newborns or children,
strictly comply with the instructions
provided by the Manufacturer.
93)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured
inside the passenger compartment. In this
way, in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
94)After installing a child restraint
system, do not move the seat: always
remove the child restraint system before
making any adjustment.
95)Always make sure that the chest
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal
injury. Therefore the child must always
wear the seat belt correctly.96)Do not use the same lower anchorage
to install more than one child restraint
system.
97)If a Universal ISOFIX child seat is not
fixed to all three anchorages, the child
seat will not be able to protect the child
correctly. In a crash, the child could be
seriously or fatally injured.
98)Fit the child restraint system when the
car is stationary. The child restraint
system is correctly fixed to the brackets
when you hear the click. Follow the
instructions for assembly, disassembly
and positioning that the Manufacturer
must supply with the child restraint
system.
99)If the vehicle was involved in an
accident of a certain severity, have the
ISOFIX anchorages and the child restraint
system replaced.
100)If the vehicle was involved in an
accident of a certain severity, have both
the child restraint system and the seat
belt it was attached to replaced.SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)-
AIRBAG
The vehicle is equipped with:front driver airbag;front passenger airbag;driver and passenger front side bags
for pelvis, chest and shoulder protection
(Side bags);
front and rear side passenger side
bags for head protection (window bag).
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver/passenger airbags and
the driver knee bag (where provided)
protect the front seat occupants in the
event of frontal impacts of medium/high
severity, by placing the bag between the
occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Therefore non-activation of airbags in
other types of collisions (side impacts,
rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not
indicate a system malfunction.
The driver and passenger front airbags
are not a replacement for, but are
complementary to, the seat belts, which
should always be worn as required by law
in Europe and most non-European
countries.
In the event of impact, anyone not
wearing a seat belt is projected forwards

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.
