JEEP RENEGADE 2015 1.G Owners Manual

proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver ’s respon-
sibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is
not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indi-
cator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale
will flash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check
the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and
warning have been established for the tire size

equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera-
tion or sensor damage may result when using re-
placement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using an after-
market tire sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to an authorized dealership to have your
sensor function checked.
•What To Do
Do not drive your vehicle with one or more tires
deflated because the driveability of the car could be
compromised. Stop the car and avoid braking and
sharp turns. Contact your authorized dealer as soon
as possible.
ESC System
•What Does It Mean
Intervention ESC System:The light will
start to flash as soon as the tires lose
traction and the ESC system becomes ac-
tive. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on
the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible.
Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the
prevailing road conditions.

Avoid heavy efforts to the engine or high speeds. The
prolonged use of the car with the light illuminated
can cause damage to the engine.
Please contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
