belt JEEP RENEGADE 2014 1.G Owner's Manual

In the event of impact, those not
wearing a seat belt are projected
forwards and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating. The
protection offered by the bag is
compromised in these circumstances.
The front airbags may not activate in
the case of a frontal impact against
highly deformable objects not involving
the front surface of the vehicle (e.g.
wing collision against guard rail) or in
the case of the vehicle wedging under
other vehicles or protective barriers
(e.g. under trucks or guard rails).
Failure to activate in the conditions
described above is due to the fact that
they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would be inappropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment does
not indicate a system malfunction.
Driver's side front airbag
94) 95)
This consists of an instantly inflating
cushion contained in a special
compartment in the centre of the
steering wheel fig. 80.
Passenger side front airbag
96)
This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special recess in the
dashboardfig. 81, this bag has a larger
volume than that of the driver's.
Passenger side front airbag
and child restraint systems
Rearward facing child restraint systems
mustNEVERbe fitted on the front
seat with an active passenger side
airbag since in the event of an impact
the airbag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
ALWAYScomply with the instructions
on the label stuck on the passenger
side sun visor fig. 82.

SAFETY

108)The airbag does not replace seat
belts, but increases their efficiency.
Because front airbags are not deployed for
low-speed crashes, side collisions,
rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants are
protected, in addition to any side bags,
only by their seat belts, which must
therefore always be fastened.

, turn the ignition
device to STOP and then back to MAR.
If the warning light (or the symbol 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.
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.
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
109)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.
110)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.

❒"Drive Away Release": (where
available) the electric parking brake will
automatically disengage with the driver
side seat belt fastened and the
detection of an action performed by the
driver to move the vehicle (forward
gear or reverse gear);
❒"Safe Hold": when the vehicle speed
is lower than 3 km/h, the gear lever is
not at P (Park) on versions with
automatic transmission and when the
intention of the driver to leave the
vehicle is detected, the electric parking
brake will automatically engage so
that the vehicle is in safe conditions.❒"Auto Park Brake": if the vehicle
speed is lower than 3 km/h, the electric
parking brake will automatically engage
with the gear lever moved to P (Park)
position (versions with automatic
transmission), or with the ignition device
at STOP (versions with manual
gearbox). The LED on the switch fig. 87
located on the central tunnel switches
on together with the warning light
on the instrument panel when the
parking brake is engaged and applied
to the wheels. Each automatic parking
brake engagement can be cancelled by
pressing the switch on the central
tunnel and moving at the same time the
gear lever for the automatic
transmission to position P (Park) or the
ignition device to STOP (versions with
manual gearbox).
SAFE HOLD
It is a safety function that automatically
engages the electric parking brake in
the event of a dangerous condition for
the vehicle.
If:
❒the vehicle speed is below 3 km/h;
❒the gear lever is not at P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission);
❒the driver's seat belt is not fastened;
❒the driver side door is open;❒no attempted operation of the brake
pedal or, on versions with manual

automatically to prevent the vehicle
movement.
The Safe Hold function can be
temporarily disabled by pressing the
switch located on the central tunnel
and the brake pedal at the same time,
with the vehicle stationary and the
driver side door open.
Once disabled, the function will activate
again when the vehicle speed reaches
20 km/h or the ignition device is moved
to STOP and then to MAR.
WARNING
112)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the front wheels
must be steered towards the pavement
(when parking downhill), or in the opposite
direction if the vehicle is parked uphill. If
the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is
advisable to block the wheels with a
wedge or stone.
113)Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle. Always remove the key from
the ignition device when leaving the vehicle
and take it with you.
114)The electric parking brake must
always be engaged when leaving
the vehicle.

STARTING AND DRIVING

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions. For this
reason, Jeep has planned a series of
checks and services at fixed distance
intervals and, where provided, at fixed
time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Jeep Dealerships according to a set
time schedule. If, during each
operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may
be carried out with your explicit
agreement only. If your vehicle is used
frequently for towing, the interval
between one service operation and the
next should be reduced.IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
Coupons are required by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Jeep
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long
journeys, check and if necessary, top
up: engine coolant level; brake fluid
level; screen washer fluid level; tyre
inflation pressure and condition; lighting
system operation (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
screen washer/wiper system operation
and positioning/wear of windscreen/
rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
HEAVY-DUTY USE OF THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle is used under one of the
following conditions: towing a trailer
or caravan; dusty roads; short (less
than 7-8 km), repeated journeys with
sub-zero outside temperatures; engine
often idling or driving long distances
at low speed or long periods of
inactivity, the following checks must be
carried out more often than indicated
in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:❒check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect condition of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and
rubber elements (boots/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
❒visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts;
❒check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.
On versions with automatic
transmission, change transmission oil
and replace oil filter every 60,000 km
(40,000) or every 4 years.
