2018 JEEP RENEGADE handbrake

5)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This holds true for cars being
towed as well.
6)Before leaving the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the handbrake. On versions
equipped with automatic transmission,
move the gear lever to STOP (Park) and
press the ignition device to set it to STOP.
When leaving the vehicle, always lock all
the doors by pressing the button on the
handle.
7)For versions equipped with the Keyless
Enter-N-Go system, do not leave the
electronic key inside or near the car or in
a place accessible to children. Do not
leave the vehicle with the ignition device
in MAR position. A child could activate
the electric window winders, other
controls or even start the vehicle.SENTRY KEY®
TheSentry Key®system, prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that the
vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition device is taken to
MAR, theSentry Key®system identifies
the code transmitted by the key. If the
code is recognised as valid, theSentry
Key®system enables engine starting.
When the ignition device is brought back
to STOP, theSentry Key®system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, thus preventing its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph, "Starting
and driving" chapter.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bringthe ignition device to STOP and then to
MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact a
Jeep Dealership.
If the
icon is displayed while driving,
this means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage
drop). If the displaying is still on, contact
a Jeep Dealership.

Cars equipped with electronic key (Keyless
Enter-N-Go):at a car speed over 8 km/h
(5 mph) it is possible to switch the
engine off, also with automatic
transmission lever in a position other
than P (Parking). To switch off the engine
in this situation, hold down the ignition
device button for a while or press it
3 times in a row within a few seconds. In
this case the engine will stop and the
ignition device will switch to MAR.
WARNING
116)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
117)The brake servo is not active until
the engine is started, so you would need
to apply much more force than usual to
the brake pedal.
118)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
44)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km
(1000 miles), you do not drive to full car
performance (e.g. excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp braking,
etc.).
45)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
46)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
47)Warning light
will flash after
starting or during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault with the glow plug heating
system. If the engine starts, the vehicle
can be regularly used, but a Jeep
Dealership must be contacted as soon as
possible.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
Always remove the ignition key when
leaving the car.
When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
engage a gear (1st gear if facing uphill
or reverse if facing downhill) and leave
the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone
if the car is parked on a steep slope.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission or dual clutch automatic
transmission, wait for the letter P to be
displayed before releasing the brake
pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with
the gearbox in neutral (or, on versions
equipped with automatic transmission
or dual clutch automatic transmission,
before putting the shift lever in the P
position).

insert the cartridge A containing the
sealant in the proper compartment of the
compressor B, pressing it down hard.
Remove the adhesive speed label C and
apply it in a visible position;
wear the gloves;remove the cap from the tyre valve and
connect and screw the transparent tube
of the sealing fluid D onto the valve. If a
250 ml cartridge is present the housing
of the transparent tube is provided with
removable ring to facilitate extraction.
Make sure that the ON-OFF button F is in
the off position (button not pressed);
insert the electrical connector E
fig. 178 in the 12 V current socket of the
car and start the engine;
operate the compressor by pressingthe ON-OFF button F fig. 179. When the
pressure shown in the "Wheels"
paragraph in the “Technical data”
chapter or on the specific label appears
on the pressure gauge G, stop the
compressor by pressing the ON-OFF
button again;
disconnect the cartridge A
fig. 180 from the compressor, by
pressing the release button H and lifting
the cartridge upwards.
If the pressure gauge G
fig. 179 indicates a pressure lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi 15 minutes after starting
the compressor, switch off the
compressor, disconnect the sealing fluid
tube D from the tyre valve and remove
the cartridge A from the compressor.
Move the car by approximately 10 metres
to allow the distribution of the sealant.
Stop the vehicle safely, operate the
handbrake and restore pressure using the
black inflation pipe L fig. 181 to reach
the required pressure. If also in this
case, the pressure is lower than 1.8 bar /
26 psi 15 minutes after turning on, do
not resume driving but contact a Jeep
Dealership. After driving for about 8 km /
5 miles fig. 182, move the car to a safe
and suitable area and engage the

handbrake. Take the compressor and
restore pressure using the black inflation
tube L.
If the pressure shown is higher than1.8 bar / 26 psi, restore the pressure and
drive safely to a Jeep Dealership as soon
as possible. If, however, the pressure is
lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, do not
resume driving but contact a Jeep
Dealership.
INFLATION PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:stop the car safely, as described
above, and operate the electric
handbrake;
extract the black inflation tube and
screw it firmly onto the tyre valve. Then
follow the instructions below. Press the
air release button M to adjust any
excessive tyre pressure (see "Repair
procedure" paragraph).
CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
Proceed as follows:only use original cartridges, which can
be purchased from the Jeep Dealership;
to remove the cartridge, press the
release button and lift it (see description
above).
WARNING
168)IMPORTANT: Do not exceed
80 km/h. Avoid sudden acceleration or
braking. The kit provides a temporary
repair, therefore the tyre must be
examined and repaired by a specialist as
soon as possible. Before using the kit,
ensure that the tyre is not excessively
damaged and that the rim is in good
condition, otherwise do not use it and call
roadside assistance. Do not remove
foreign bodies from the tyre. Do not let the
compressor turned on for more than
20 consecutive minutes - overheating
hazard.
169)The information required by the
applicable regulation is indicated on the
Fix&Go kit package label. Carefully read
the label on the cartridge before use,
avoid improper use. The kit should be
used by adults and cannot be used by
children.
