2018 JEEP RENEGADE fuel

READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228. Do not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as
damage fundamental components of the supply system.
Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see paragraph "Refuelling the vehicle" in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Versions with manual gearbox (petrol engines): make sure that the parking brake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress the
clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then bring the ignition device to AVV or press the ignition device button and release the key or
the button as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with manual gearbox (diesel engines): make sure that the parking brake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress the
clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the
warning light to switch off. Bring the
ignition device to AVV or press the ignition device button and finally release the key or the button as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with automatic transmission: make sure that the parking brake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral), fully
depress the brake pedal, then bring the ignition device to AVV or press the ignition device button.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.

IMPORTANT
13)The dimensions of the platform permit
a maximum capacity of distributed weight
of 110 kg on both positions ("0" and "1"):
do not load objects with a higher weight.

INTRODUCTION
The LPG version features two fuel supply
systems: one for petrol and one for LPG.
PASSIVE SAFETY / ACTIVE
SAFETY
Although the LPG system has numerous
safety features, it is advisable to proceed
as follows every time the car is not in use
for a long period or moved in an
emergency as a result of a breakdown or
accident:
unscrew the fixing devices A fig. 59,
then remove the cover B;
close the LPG cock rotating the ring C
refit the cover and retighten the
fastening devices.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
clockwise:

LPG TANK
17)
The car has a (pressurised) tank A
fig. 61 for storing LPG in a liquid state.
It is toroidal and is located in the spare
wheel compartment with suitable
protection.LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.
In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the car registration date. If the
car has been registered in a country other
than Italy, the duration and the
testing/inspection procedures of the LPG
tank can vary depending on the national
provisions in force in that country. In all
case, when the time limit for your country
has expired, go to a Jeep Dealer to have the
tank replaced.
LPG/PETROL SWITCH
31)
18) 19) 20)
This engine normally runs on LPG except
during starting when it runs on petrol.
Switching to LPG is automatic.
To change fuel type, press the button
fig. 62 on the tunnel with the car
stationary and engine running or while
driving.
If you expressly want to run on petrol,
press the located on the central tunnel.
The switching on of the LED located
above the button and of the green
symbol on the display indicates that
the switching request has taken place
correctly.

The four bars on the digital indicator
near the letters LPG on the instrument
panel display indicate the level of LPG in
the tank. Switching is confirmed by the
switching on/off of the
symbol on the
display.
REFUELLING
LPG
21) 22) 23)
Maximum refuelling capacity (including
reserve): 38 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required for
priming and the maximum permitted
capacity.In addition, after different
refuelling processes, this figure may varydue to differences between the network
pump supply pressures, pumps having
different supply/locking features, tank not
completely run out of fuel.
IMPORTANT In order to avoid
inconsistent information by the LPG
gauge on the instrument panel, it is
recommended to refill with at least
10 litres each time.
WARNING
29)Note that in some countries (including
Italy) there are legal restrictions in force
for parking/garaging motor cars fuelled by
gas that is denser than air; LPG comes
under this category.
30)If gas is smelt, switch from LPG
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to a Jeep Dealership to
have the car checked and possible system
faults excluded.
31)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the
engine.
32)Modifications or repairs to the supply
system that are not carried out correctly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
IMPORTANT
14)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between -20°C and 100°C.
15)The car is equipped with a gaseous
LPG injection system designed specifically
for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden
to alter the configuration of the system or
its components. The use of other
components or materials could cause
malfunctions and lead to a reduction in
safety; therefore, in the case of problems,
contact a Jeep Dealership. When towing or
lifting the car, follow the instructions in
the main handbook under the paragraph
on "Towing the car" to prevent damage to
the gas system parts.
16)When painting in an oven, the LPG
tank must be removed from the car and
later refitted by a Jeep Dealership.
17)Periodically (at least once every six
months) it is advisable to let the LPG in
the tank run out and, at the first
refuelling, to check that it does not exceed
the maximum capacity of 38 litres (reserve
included) (with a tolerance of 2 litres
excess). If the level is above 38 litres
(reserve included) contact a Jeep
Dealership immediately.

18)Regardless of the last fuel system
used, at the following engine starting, after
the initial petrol stage, the system will
automatically switch to LPG.
19)When switching is requested, metallic
noise from the valves which pressurise the
circuit can be heard. For the switching
logic described above, a delay between the
valve ticking and the switching off of the
instrument panel indication is completely
normal.20)In particular usage conditions, such as
starting and operation at low ambient
temperature or LPG supply with low
propane content, the system may switch
temporarily to petrol operation, without a
visual indication of switching on the
instrument panel. In the event of low LPG
levels in the tank or requests for high
performance (e.g. overtaking, vehicle fully
laden, steep hills) the system may
automatically switch to running on petrol
to guarantee the required engine power;
the green icon
on the instrument panel
display turns on to indicate this. When the
above conditions are no longer present,
the system automatically restores LPG
operating mode; the green symbol
switches off. To achieve the automatic
switching described above, make sure that
there is always enough fuel in the petrol
tank.
21)Only use LPG for motor vehicles.
22)It is strictly forbidden to use any
additive in the LPG.23)Periodically (at least once every six
months) it is advisable to let the LPG in
the tank run out and, at the first
refuelling, to check that it does not exceed
the maximum capacity of 38 litres (reserve
included) (with a tolerance of 2 litres
excess). If the level is above 38 litres
(reserve included) contact a Jeep
Dealership immediately.
