steering JEEP RENEGADE 2014 1.G Owners Manual

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!

versions are not explicitly indicated in the text: as a consequence, you should only consider the information which is
related to the trim level, engine and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the production
of the model, outside the specific request of options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the wording(where
provided).
All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. Chrysler Group

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be properly specified in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do
not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles
with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, some controls
position or construction is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key
for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is anyway a textual indication of the current
chapter at the side of each even page.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series ofWARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your
vehicle.
There are alsoPRECAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle,
which could cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore allWARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSmust always be carefully followed.
WARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSare recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;
vehicle safety;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.
That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and(amber) warning lights with the engine on
indicates either a fault of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear wheels
may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. The display shows the dedicated
message.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Jeep Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
POWER STEERING FAILURE
If the warning light remains on, you could not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate
the steering wheel could be increased; steering is, however, possible.
On some versions, the display shows the dedicated message.
Contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
