2018 JEEP RENEGADE spare wheel

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.

Important notesThe system has not been designed to
prevent impacts and cannot detect
possible conditions leading to anaccident in advance. Failure to take into
account this warning may lead to serious
or fatal injuries.
The system may be activated,
assessing the trajectory of the car, in
case of reflecting metal objects different
from other cars, such as safety barriers,
road signs, barriers before parking lots,
tollgates, level crossings, gates, railways,
objects near road constructions sites or
higher than the car (e.g. a flyover). In the
same way, the system may intervene
inside multi-storey car parks or tunnels,
or due to a glare on the road surface.
These possible activations follow the
normal operating logic of the system and
must not be regarded as faults.
The system has been designed for
road use only. If the car is driven
off-road, the system must be deactivated,
to avoid unnecessary warnings. By
selecting the 4WD LOW mode, the
system is automatically deactivated.
Automatic deactivation is indicated by
the dedicated warning light/icon
switching on in the instrument panel.
The system is only active if a trailer
has not been connected with the original
tow hook.
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System)
(where provided)
73) 74) 75) 76) 77) 78) 79)42)
The TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System) reports low tyre pressure based
on the cold pressure indicated in the
"Technical specifications” chapter.
The system consists of a radio-frequency
transmitter sensor fitted to each wheel
(on the rim inside the tyre), which sends
information on the inflation pressure of
each tyre to the control unit.
The system automatically updates and
warning light
switches off each time
the system receives the updated inflation
pressures. The vehicle might need to be
driven at a speed higher than about
25 km/h up to 20 minutes for the TPMS
to receive this information.
IMPORTANT The TPMS is designed for
original tyres and wheels. The
pressures and alarms reported by the
TPMS are defined according to the
size of the tyres fitted on the vehicle.
Using spare wheels of a different sizes,
types and/or designs from the original
ones may cause the system to operate
incorrectly and damage the sensors.
Aftermarket fitted wheels may damage
the sensors. Using aftermarket tyre

SAFETY

72)If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if
it is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part
(e.g. another car, a wall or another
obstacle), the system may detect its
presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
settings of theUconnect™system.
73)The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular checks
of the tyre pressure, including for the
spare wheel, and correct maintenance: the
system is not used to signal a possible
fault to a tyre.
74)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres rested and cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason to check
pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than the
prescribed value. Repeat the check when
the tyres are cold.
75)Should one or more wheels be fitted
without sensors (e.g. if the spare wheel is
fitted), the system will no longer be
available for the replaced wheel and a
warning message will be shown on the
display, until the wheels with sensors are
fitted again.76)The TPMS cannot indicate sudden
tyre pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts).
In this case, stop the vehicle, braking with
caution and avoiding abrupt steering.
77)Replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa requires TPMS system
adjustment that must only be performed
by Jeep Dealerships.
78)Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The system
may temporarily indicate insufficient
pressure. In this case, check the tyre
pressure when cold and, if necessary,
restore the inflation values.
79)When a tyre is removed, it is advisable
to replace the rubber valve seal as well:
contact a Jeep Dealership. The
fitting/removal of the tyres and/or rims
require special care. To avoid damaging or
fitting the sensors incorrectly, tyre and/or
rim fitting/removal operations should only
be carried out by specialised staff.
Contact a Jeep Dealership.
IMPORTANT
33)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.34)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
35)System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.
36)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
37)Incorrect repairs made on the front
part of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis)
may alter the position of the radar sensor,
and adversely affect its operation. Go to a
Jeep Dealership for any operation of this
type.
38)Do not tamper with nor carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of
a sensor failure, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
39)When towing a trailer (with modules
installed after purchasing the vehicle), a
vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on a
vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for
transport), the system must be deactivated
via theUconnect™system.

SAFETY

remove the spare tire jack's attaching
device;
remove the wheel block wedge;remove the jack and the spanner to
dismount the spare tire bolt. Turn the
jack's screws to loosen the spanner and
separate it from the jack mechanism;
remove the tire from the boot.
Tool kit bag (where there is one)
On the versions with a spare tire, inside
the boot (on the right side) there is a tool
kit latched to the boot's covering carpet
with its own attachments.
Inside the tool kit there are fig. 171:
A: the jack;B: the screwdriver;C: the refuelling adaptor in case of
emergency;
D: the pin to centre to wheel (where
there is one, use it when mounting the
spare tire);
E: a special anti-theft bolt (where
present, use when mounting/dismounting
the tire bolt);
F: a wedge to block the wheel;G: the towing ring;H: the spanner for mounting/locking
the tire bolt and to work the jack;
I: the emergency allen key to activate
the sunroof (where there is one).Important information about the jack
Please note that:
the whole jack weighs 2.8kg;the jack requires no adjustment;
the jack cannot be repaired: if it
breaks, it must be replaced with another
original;
no tool, except the crank wheel, can
be attached to the jack.
Proceed as follows:
in case where you have to place the
car on an inclined roadway, if it is very
steep, or if the ground is unstable, lift
out the blocking wedge A and open it like
a book, as shown in the illustration
fig. 172;
warn anyone present that the car is
going to be lifted up: they need to leave
the immediate vicinity and even more
important, warn them not to touch the
car until it has been brought back down.

No one should remain inside the car;if the car has alloy rims, whose
hubcaps cover the bolt, use the spanner
very carefully to remove the hubcap
before lifting the car up;
before lifting up the car, loosen the
bolts on the wheel with the flat tire
without removing them, using spanner A
fig. 173. While the tire is still resting on
the ground, you just need to turn the
bolts one turn counter-clockwise;
position the jack under the car, near
the tire to be changed;
insert the spanner D fig. 174 on the
hexagon A of the jack B and turn it
clockwise until the jack bracket is firmly
under the area to be lifted, at the spar
under the door, being careful to keep itin line with the bracket itself at the mark
indicated by the symbol
on the under
door coating;
lift up the car until the tire is off the
ground by a few centimetres;
remove the bolt and the tire (for
versions equipped with a tire cover, take
it off after having loosened the 4 bolts
that attach it and then unscrew the last
bolt and remove the tire);
remove the jack spanner and insert
the pin to centre the wheel (in case of
alloy rims) to facilitate mounting the
spare tire;
make sure the spare tire, where it
comes into contact with the centre, is
clean and has no debris that could later
cause the attachment bolts to loosen;
mount the spare tire;replace and screw the bolts, without
tightening them;
if you used it, remove the aligning
pin;
lower the car completely using the
jack.
take the spare wheel, jack and wheel
bolt removal key (see fig. 171 );
if the vehicle has aluminium rims,
where the hub cap covers the bolts, use
the key with great care to remove the hub
cap before raising the vehicle;
tighten the bolts, alternating from one
bolt to the one opposite, according to the
numerical sequence illustrated in
fig. 175. In the case of any doubts
regarding the bolt tightening torque,
contact a Jeep Dealership;
reposition the jack, the tools, the
chock and the flat tyre inside the luggage

compartment, ensuring that they are
locked correctly.
IMPORTANT
Should it be absolutely necessary to
operate on the road surface or near it,
pay the utmost attention to vehicles in
transit.
Pay particular attention when using
the key to remove the bolts: it may have
sharp edges.
Raising the vehicle any more than
necessary may lower its stability: the jack
may slip and injure those nearby. Do not
raise the vehicle any more than required
for the removal of the wheel.
Tyres with unidirectional tread can be
recognised by arrows on the side of the
tyre which indicate the direction ofrotation. This must of necessity be
complied with. Only in this way can the
tyres maintain their characteristics in
terms of grip, noise, resistance to wear
and drainage on wet surfaces.
If, after a puncture, it is necessary to
fit such a tyre the wrong way round, it
will be necessary to continue driving with
great care, since the tyre’s performance
is limited in these conditions. This
precaution must be borne in mind above
all when the road surface is wet.
In order to benefit completely from
the unidirectional tread, it is advisable to
restore all wheels to the correct direction
of rotation as soon as possible.
Make sure that the spare wheel is
fitted with the valve facing outwards. The
wheel may be damaged if fitted
incorrectly.
If the vehicle has a hub cap or wheel
cover, do not attempt to fit it on the
spare wheel.
To prevent injury to persons, the
complete tightening of the bolts must
only be carried out when all of the
vehicle’s wheels are on the ground, to
prevent the vehicle falling from the jack.
After having travelled for about
40 km, stop and check that the bolts are
tightened correctly.
WARNING
159)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the luggage compartment.
160)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
161)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights,
warning triangle, etc. Any passengers on
board should leave the car, especially if it
is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed. On slopes or on
unsurfaced roads, chock the wheels with
the chocks provided.

IN AN EMERGENCY
162)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver
wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration
and braking, abrupt steering and fast
cornering. The overall duration of the
space-saver wheel is about 3000 km, after
which the relevant tyre must be replaced
with another one of the same type. Never
install a standard tyre on a rim that is
designed for use with a space-saver wheel.
Have the wheel repaired and refitted as
soon as possible. Using two or more
space-saver wheels at the same time is
forbidden. Do not grease the threads of
the stud bolts before fitting them: they
might slip out when driving!
163)The space-saver wheel (where
provided) is specific to your vehicle: do
not use it on other models, or use the
space-saver wheel of other models on your
vehicle. The space-saver wheel must only
be used in the event of an emergency.
Never use it for more than strictly
necessary and never exceed 80 km/h. On
the space-saver wheel there is an orange
label, summarising the main warnings
regarding space-saver wheel usage
restrictions. Never remove or cover the
label. Never apply a wheel cap on a
space-saver wheel.164)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on
other vehicles of the same model. Any
other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle
models or different things, is strictly
prohibited. Never use it to carry out
servicing or repairs under the vehicle or to
change summer/winter wheels and vice
versa: we advise you to contact a Jeep
Dealership. Never go under the raised
vehicle: use it only in the positions
indicated. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than the one shown on its label.
Never start the engine with car raised. If
the vehicle is raised more than necessary,
everything can become more unstable,
with the risk of the vehicle dropping
violently. Thus, lift the car only as needed
in order to access the space-saver spare
wheel.
165)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without
scraping your hand against the ground.
The moving components of the jack
("worm screw" and joints) can also cause
injuries: do not touch them. If you come
into contact with lubricating grease, clean
yourself thoroughly.166)The space-saver wheel cannot be
fitted with snow chains. If a front (drive)
tyre is punctured and chains are needed,
use a standard wheel from the rear axle
and install the space-saver wheel on the
rear axle. In this way, with two normal
drive wheels at the front axle, it is
possible to use snow chains.
167)Incorrect hub cap assembly, if
present, may cause it to come off when
the vehicle is moving. Never tamper with
the inflation valve. Never introduce tools
of any kind between the rim and the tyre.
Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, complying with the
values given in the "Technical
specifications" chapter.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where you
can change the wheel safely. The car
must be stopped in a lay-by, car-park or
parking or service area, and the ground
must be as level as possible and
sufficiently compact;
switch off the engine, apply the
electrical parking brake and engage the
1st gear or reverse gear. Make sure that
any passengers get out of the car and go
to a safe place where they will not
obstruct traffic or be exposed to the risk
of injury. Wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law) before getting out of
the car;
