automatic transmission JEEP RENEGADE 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228. Do not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as
damage fundamental components of the supply system.
Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see paragraph "Refuelling the vehicle" in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE

clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then bring the ignition device to AVV or press the ignition device button and release the key or
the button as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with manual gearbox (diesel engines): make sure that the parking brake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress the
clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the
warning light to switch off. Bring the
ignition device to AVV or press the ignition device button and finally release the key or the button as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with automatic transmission: make sure that the parking brake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral), fully
depress the brake pedal, then bring the ignition device to AVV or press the ignition device button.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.

IMPORTANT
1)The electronic components inside the
key may be damaged if the key is
subjected to strong shocks. In order to
ensure complete efficiency of the
electronic devices inside the key, it should
never be exposed to direct sunlight.
IMPORTANT
1)Remote control used batteries may be
harmful to the environment if not disposed
of correctly. They must be disposed of as
specified by law in the special containers
or taken to a Jeep Dealership, which will
take care of their disposal.

stationary (versions with manual gearbox)
or with the gear lever at P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission)
and the engine off, the ignition device
will automatically move to the STOP
position.
NOTE If the device does switch off the
car, refer to the “Display” paragraph in
the “Knowing the instrument panel”chapter, where available, and contact the
Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.

start-up, see the description in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph, in the
"Starting and driving" chapter.STEERING LOCK
Activation
Versions with mechanical key: with the
device in the STOP position, remove the
key and turn the wheel until it locks.
WARNING Locking the steering wheel
can only be done after removing the
starter key if the key has been turned in
the starter from the position MAR to
STOP.
Versions with electronic key: the steering
lock is inserted into the driver's door with
the starter device button in the STOP
position and the speed is less than
3km/h.

WARNING
2)If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted theft),
have it checked over by a Jeep Dealership
before driving again.
3)Always take the key with you when you
leave your vehicle to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the electric parking
brake. Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle.
4)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of
anti-theft device) that could adversely
affect performance, invalidate the
warranty, cause serious safety problems
and also result in the car not meeting
type-approval requirements.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

5)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This holds true for cars being
towed as well.
6)Before leaving the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the handbrake. On versions
equipped with automatic transmission,
move the gear lever to STOP (Park) and
press the ignition device to set it to STOP.
When leaving the vehicle, always lock all
the doors by pressing the button on the
handle.
7)For versions equipped with the Keyless
Enter-N-Go system, do not leave the
electronic key inside or near the car or in
a place accessible to children. Do not
leave the vehicle with the ignition device
in MAR position. A child could activate
the electric window winders, other
controls or even start the vehicle.SENTRY KEY®
TheSentry Key®system, prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that the
vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition device is taken to
MAR, theSentry Key®system identifies
the code transmitted by the key. If the
code is recognised as valid, theSentry
Key®system enables engine starting.
When the ignition device is brought back
to STOP, theSentry Key®system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, thus preventing its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph, "Starting
and driving" chapter.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bringthe ignition device to STOP and then to
MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact a
Jeep Dealership.
If the
icon is displayed while driving,
this means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage
drop). If the displaying is still on, contact
a Jeep Dealership.

WARNING
8)NEVER leave children unattended
inside the car, let alone leave the car with
the doors unlocked in a place that
children can access easily. Children may
seriously, or even fatally, injure
themselves. Also ensure that children do
not inadvertently operate the electric
parking brake, the brake pedal or the
automatic transmission lever.
9)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock on
both rear doors, check for effective
engagement by trying to open a door with
the internal handle.
10)Once the Dead Lock system is
engaged, it is impossible to open the
doors from inside the vehicle. Before
getting out of the car, please therefore
check that there is no-one left inside.
IMPORTANT
2)Make sure to take the key with you once
a door or the tailgate is locked, to prevent
locking the same key inside the vehicle. If
the key has been locked in, it can only be
recovered using the second provided key.
3)The operation of the recognition system
depends on various factors, such as, for
example, any electromagnetic wave
interference from external sources (e.g.
mobile phones), the charge of the battery
in the electronic key and the presence of
metal objects near the key or the car. In
these cases it is still possible to unlock the
doors by using the metal insert in the
electronic key (see description on the
following pages).

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring)
SYSTEM
(where provided)
The system uses two radar sensors,
located in the rear bumper (one for each
side - see fig. 72) to detect the presence
of vehicles (cars, trucks, motorbikes,
etc.) in the rear side blind spots of the
vehicle.
The system warns the driver about the
presence of cars in the detection area by
lighting up, on the relevant side, the
warning light located on the door mirror
fig. 73, along with an acoustic warning.
When the ignition device is in MAR
position, or when the engine is started,the warning light turns on to signal the
driver that the system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated by shifting to
any forward gear at a speed higher than
about 10 km/h, or when reverse is
engaged. The sensors are temporarily
deactivated with vehicle at a standstill
and the gear lever in position P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission),
or with vehicle at a standstill and electric
parking brake engaged (versions with
manual gearbox).
The detection area of the system covers
about a lane on both sides of the vehicle
(around 3 metres). This area begins from

an obstacle has been detected is
activated, an acoustic warning is emitted
as well. When the acoustic warning is
emitted, theUconnect™volume is
lowered.
"Blind spot alert" function deactivation:
When the system is deactivated ("Blind
spot alert" mode at "OFF"), the BSM or
RCP systems will not emit neither
acoustic nor visual warnings. The BSM
system will store the operating mode
running when the engine was switched
off: each time the engine is started, the
operating mode stored previously will be
recalled and used.

It consists of a radar located behind the
front bumper fig. 74 and a camera
located in the middle of the windscreen
fig. 75.
In the event of an imminent collision the
system intervenes by automatically
braking the car to prevent the impact or
reduce its effects.The system may brake slightly to warn
the driver when a potential frontal
accident is detected. Signals and limited
braking are intended to allow the driver
to react promptly, in order to prevent or
reduce the effects of a potential
accident.
Versions equipped with Stop/Start system:
at the end of the automatic braking, the
Stop/Start system will activate as
described in paragraph "Stop/Start
system" of this chapter.
Versions equipped with manual
transmission: at the end of the automatic
braking, the engine may stall and turn
off, unless the clutch pedal is pressed.
Versions equipped with automatic
transmission: at the end of the braking,
the last stored gear is engaged. The
vehicle may restart a few seconds after
the automatic stop.IMPORTANT After the car is stopped,
the brake callipers may be locked for
about 2 seconds for safety reasons.
Make sure you press the brake pedal if
the vehicle moves slightly forwards.
Engagement/disengagement
The Forward Collision Warning Plus
system can be deactivated (and then
reactivated) via theUconnect™system.
