brake sensor JEEP RENEGADE 2015 1.G User Guide

Automatic Lighting — If Equipped
Light Sensor
The light sensor is equipped with an infrared LED, located on the windshield. It
detects changes in light intensity outside the vehicle, based on the sensitivity of light
set by using the Menu on the display or on the Uconnect®system.
The higher the sensitivity, the lesser the amount of external light required for
controlling the lighting.
Automatic Headlights
Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position.
When the automatic headlights are enabled, the headlight time delay is active. After
the ignition switch is placed in the STOP/OFF position, the headlights will automati-
cally turn off after approximately 90 seconds depending on the settings of the
feature.
The timing of the headlights is adjustable between 0, 30, 60 and 90 seconds.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the headlights will come on in the automatic
mode.
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) — If Equipped
The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will turn on when the engine is started and
remain on unless the headlights are turned on, the electronic parking brake is
applied, or the engine is shut off.
The DRLs will be disabled during turn signal operation and resume operation when
the turn signal operation has ended.
Front Fog Lights — If Equipped
The front fog light switch is built into the headlight switch.
To activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking lights or the low beam headlights
and push the headlight switch. To turn off the front fog lights, push the headlight
switch a second time or turn off the headlight switch.
An indicator light in the instrument cluster illuminates when the fog lights are turned
on.
NOTE:
The fog lights will operate with the low beam headlights or parking lights on.
Selecting the high beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.
Parking Lights
Rotate the headlight switch to the first position to turn on the parking lights. The
parking light indicator in the cluster will illuminate.

WARNING!
• Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply
the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the keyless ignition node is in the
“STOP/OFF” mode, remove the Key Fob from the vehicle and lock the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™in the
MAR/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.
• Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving; failure to do so can
lead to brake failure and a collision.
• Always fully apply the parking brake when leaving your vehicle, or it may roll
and cause damage or injury. Also be certain to leave the transmission in PARK.
Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located
inside the rear bumper fascia, to detect highway licensable vehicles (automobiles,
trucks, motorcycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of
the vehicle.
When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning light will momentarily illuminate in
both outside rear view mirrors to let the driver know that the system is operational.
The BSM system sensors operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear or REVERSE
and enters stand-by mode when the vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane width on both sides of the
vehicle, 10 ft (3 m). The zone length starts at the outside mirror and extends
approximately 20 ft (6 m) beyond the rear bumper of the vehicle. The BSM system
monitors the detection zones on both sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alert the driver of vehicles
in these areas.

System Not Available
In the case of the system being temporary unavailable:
• BSM Mirror Warning Lights are turned on continuously.
• A chime will turn on.
• A instrument cluster message will display“Blind Spot Monitoring Temporary
Unavailable.”
In the case of the system being completely unavailable:
• A chime will turn on.
• A instrument cluster message will display“Blind Spot Monitoring Unavailable -
Service Required.”
NOTE:
Vehicle must be taken to the nearest authorized dealer for service.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) WITH
MITIGATION
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With Mitigation Operation
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system with mitigation provides the driver with
audible warnings, visual warnings (within the EVIC/DID), and may apply a brake jerk
to warn the driver when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings and
limited braking are intended to provide the driver with enough time to react, avoid or
mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the forward looking sensors as well as the
Electronic Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward colli-
sion. When the system determines that a forward collision is probable, the driver
will be provided with audible and visual warnings and may provide a brake jerk
warning.
If the driver does not take action based upon these progressive warnings, then the
system will provide a limited level of active braking to help slow the vehicle and
mitigate the potential forward collision. If the driver reacts to the warnings by braking
and the system determines that the driver intends to avoid the collision by braking
but has not applied sufficient brake force, the system will compensate and provide
additional brake force as required.
Vehicles With A Manual Transmission: After the end of the intervention of automatic
braking, the engine could stall, unless the driver can depress the clutch pedal.
Vehicles With Automatic Transmission: After the end of the intervention of automatic
braking, the transmission may remain in last gear stored: therefore the car could
lurch forward, once the brakes release a few seconds later.
