clutch 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

SAFETY

STARTING AND DRIVING
Let’s get to the "heart" of the vehicle:
seeing how you can exploit all of its
potential to the full.
We’ll look at how to drive it safely in any
situation, so that it can be a welcome
companion, with our comfort and our
wallets in mind.STARTING THE ENGINE........146

STARTING THE ENGINE
116) 117) 118)44) 45) 46) 47)
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown on the
display.
LPG versions
The engine always starts up on petrol
independently of the previously selected
mode.
There must therefore always be some
petrol in the tank to protect the petrol
pump and to guarantee temporary
switching from Methane or LPG to petrol
operation, if high performance is
required.
PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Proceed as follows:engage the electric parking brake and
place the gear lever in neutral;
bring the ignition device to MAR. On
Diesel versions, waning lightlights upin the instrument panel: wait for the
warning light to switch off;
fully depress the clutch pedal without
touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;
if the engine does not start within
10 seconds, bring the ignition device
back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure.
PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
WITH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
Proceed as follows:engage the electric parking brake and
place the gear lever to P (Park) or N
(Neutral);
fully depress the brake pedal without
touching the accelerator;
place the ignition device to AVV;if the engine does not start, bring the
ignition device back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure.
IMPORTANT If, with the ignition
device at MAR, thesymbol on the
instrument panel stays on together
with warning light
, turn the
ignition device to STOP and then back
to MAR. If the warning light (or thesymbol 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.
ENGINE STARTING FAILURE
Starting the engine with electronic key
battery (Keyless Enter-N-Go) run down or
flat
If the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run down
or flat. Therefore, the system does not
detect the presence of the electronic key
on board the vehicle and displays a
dedicated message.
In this case, rest the rounded edge of the
electronic key (the side opposite the
metal insert) on the ignition device and
press the button by the electronic key.
The ignition device is thus activated and
the engine can be started.
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.
146
STARTING AND DRIVING

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
116)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.
117)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.
118)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
44)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km
(1000 miles), you do not drive to full car
performance (e.g. excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp braking,
etc.).
45)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
46)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
47)Warning light
will flash after
starting or during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault with the glow plug heating
system. If the engine starts, the vehicle
can be regularly used, but a Jeep
Dealership must be contacted as soon as
possible.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
Always remove the ignition key when
leaving the car.
When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
engage a gear (1st gear if facing uphill
or reverse if facing downhill) and leave
the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone
if the car is parked on a steep slope.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission or dual clutch automatic
transmission, wait for the letter P to be
displayed before releasing the brake
pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with
the gearbox in neutral (or, on versions
equipped with automatic transmission
or dual clutch automatic transmission,
before putting the shift lever in the P
position).
147

reached and the switch is kept pulled,
the parking brake will definitively
engage.
IMPORTANT Driving the vehicle with
the electric parking brake engaged, or
using it several times to slow down the
vehicle, may cause severe damage to
the braking system.
Releasing the electric parking brake
manually
The ignition device must be in the MAR
position in order to manually release the
parking brake. Moreover, you need to
press the brake pedal, then press the
switch on the central tunnel briefly.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle and a slight movement of the
brake pedal may be detected during
disengagement.
After disengaging the electric parking
brake, the
warning light on the
instrument panel and the LED on the
switch will turn off.
If the
warning light on the instrument
panel remains on with the electric
parking brake disengaged, it indicates a
fault. In this case contact a Jeep
Dealership.
IMPORTANT On versions with
automatic transmission never use theP (Park) position instead of the electric
parking brake. Always engage the
electric parking brake when parking
the vehicle to prevent injury or damage
caused by the unexpected movement
of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT For versions with manual
transmission, if the clutch pedal is
pressed all the way and then released
at the same time as pressing the
accelerator pedal, the electric parking
brake will be released automatically.
OPERATING THE ELECTRIC
PARKING BRAKE
The electric parking brake can operate in
the following ways:
“Dynamic operating mode”: this
mode is enabled by pulling the switch
continuously whilst driving;
“Static engagement and release
mode”: with the car stationary, the
electric parking brake can be activated
by pulling the switch on the central
tunnel once. On the other hand, press
the switch and the brake pedal at the
same time to disengage the brake;
“Drive Away Release” (where
provided): the electric parking brake will
automatically disengage with the
detection of the driver’s intention to
move the car forward or in reverse. Onversions with automatic transmission, it
is also necessary for the driver side safety
belt to be properly fastened;
“Safe Hold”: if the car speed is lower
than 3 km/h and, for the versions with
automatic transmission, the gear lever is
not in P (Park) position, and the driver’s
intention to leave the car is detected, the
electric parking brake will automatically
engage to hold the car in safety
conditions;
“Auto Park Brake”: if the car speed is
lower than 3 km/h, the electric parking
brake will automatically engage when the
gear lever is moved to P (Park) position
(versions with automatic transmission),
or with the ignition device at STOP
(versions with manual transmission). The
fig. 104 switch LED on the central
tunnel turns 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 at the same time
moving the gear lever for the automatic
transmission to position P (Park) or the
ignition device to STOP (versions with
manual gearbox). This way can be
handled by using the system Menu
Uconnect™.
149

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 the accelerator pedal, or, in
versions with manual gearbox, the clutch
pedal is detected;
the parking brake engages 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
119)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.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone
if the car is parked on a steep slope.
120)Never leave children unattended in
the car. Always remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the car and take it
with you.
121)The electric parking brake must
always be engaged when leaving the
vehicle.
MANUAL GEARBOX
