2018 JEEP RENEGADE gearbox

Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Jeep.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way. This
vehicle is intended for daily use as well as for specific uses, so even routes and uses not suitable for traditional vehicles on the
market can be tackled. Ride and handling capabilities are different from most other vehicles, both on and off road; we thus
recommend you to spend all the time necessary to know the vehicle dynamics.
Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best
performance from the technical features of your Jeep.
You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and above
all with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different
road surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and
maintenance of your Jeep over time.
After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains
onboard the vehicle should it be sold.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Jeep offers to its customers, the Warranty
Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at
Jeep.
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

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

AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring)
SYSTEM
(where provided)
The system uses two radar sensors,
located in the rear bumper (one for each
side - see fig. 72) to detect the presence
of vehicles (cars, trucks, motorbikes,
etc.) in the rear side blind spots of the
vehicle.
The system warns the driver about the
presence of cars in the detection area by
lighting up, on the relevant side, the
warning light located on the door mirror
fig. 73, along with an acoustic warning.
When the ignition device is in MAR
position, or when the engine is started,the warning light turns on to signal the
driver that the system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated by shifting to
any forward gear at a speed higher than
about 10 km/h, or when reverse is
engaged. The sensors are temporarily
deactivated with vehicle at a standstill
and the gear lever in position P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission),
or with vehicle at a standstill and electric
parking brake engaged (versions with
manual gearbox).
The detection area of the system covers
about a lane on both sides of the vehicle
(around 3 metres). This area begins from

seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown on the
display.
LPG versions
The engine always starts up on petrol
independently of the previously selected
mode.
There must therefore always be some
petrol in the tank to protect the petrol
pump and to guarantee temporary
switching from Methane or LPG to petrol
operation, if high performance is
required.
PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Proceed as follows:engage the electric parking brake and
place the gear lever in neutral;
bring the ignition device to MAR. On
Diesel versions, waning lightlights upin the instrument panel: wait for the
warning light to switch off;
fully depress the clutch pedal without
touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;
if the engine does not start within
10 seconds, bring the ignition device
back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure.
PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
WITH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
Proceed as follows:engage the electric parking brake and
place the gear lever to P (Park) or N
(Neutral);
fully depress the brake pedal without
touching the accelerator;
place the ignition device to AVV;if the engine does not start, bring the
ignition device back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure.
IMPORTANT If, with the ignition
device at MAR, thesymbol on the
instrument panel stays on together
with warning light
, turn the
ignition device to STOP and then back
to MAR. If the warning light (or thesymbol on the display) remains on, try
with the other keys provided with the
vehicle. Contact a Jeep Dealership if
the engine still does not start.
ENGINE STARTING FAILURE
Starting the engine with electronic key
battery (Keyless Enter-N-Go) run down or
flat
If the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run down
or flat. Therefore, the system does not
detect the presence of the electronic key
on board the vehicle and displays a
dedicated message.
In this case, rest the rounded edge of the
electronic key (the side opposite the
metal insert) on the ignition device and
press the button by the electronic key.
The ignition device is thus activated and
the engine can be started.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Proceed as follows:park the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic; engage a
gear (versions with manual gearbox) or
position the gear lever to P (Parking)
(versions with automatic transmission);
turn the ignition device to STOP with
the engine idling.
