ground clearance JEEP RENEGADE 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

ROLL OVER WARNING
The risk of rolling over for off-road vehicles is considerably higher than for any other type of vehicle. This vehicle has a higher
ground clearance and has a higher centre of gravity compared to many other vehicles for transporting passengers, so that it allows
better performance to be reached in a wide range of off-road applications. In any case, a dangerous driving style can increase the
risk of losing control of the vehicle.
The vehicle is more subject to the risk of rolling over because of the higher centre of gravity should the driver lose its control.
Therefore, avoid tight curves or other unsafe driving conditions that may lead to losing the vehicle control. Failure to comply with
these precautions may cause accidents, vehicle rolling over and severe or fatal injuries. Drive carefully.
The main cause for severe or fatal injuries is failing to wear driver and passenger seat belts. In the event of rolling over, a passenger
not wearing the seat belt is much more likely to be fatally injured than a passenger wearing it correctly. Always fasten the seat belts.
“CYBERSECURITY” DEVICESThe car is equipped with security devices developed according to the technological standards currently applied in the automotive
industry to protect the onboard electronic systems from hacking attempts. The purpose of these security devices is to minimise the
risk of cyber-attacks or the installation of viruses or malware which could compromise the performance of the car and/or allow
stealing of personal data of the buyers and/or users and/or unauthorised dissemination of said information.
The car's purchaser must not remove, modify or tamper with these anti-hacking security devices. The Manufacturer will therefore
not be liable for negative consequences and/or damage to the vehicle and/or to the buyer and/or to third parties deriving from the
removal, modification or alteration of the security devices performed by the car's purchaser and/or user.
VEHICLE CHANGES/ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in
which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

MINIMUM GROUND CLEARANCE/TYPICAL ANGLES
"Minimum ground clearance" (reference A)
The clearance value is measured next to the lower edge of the differential. This value also defines those for the "Approach angle" the
"Departure angle" and the "Breakover angle".
Dimensions are expressed in mm and refer to the car equipped with its original tyres.
Front wheel drive (FWD) versions: 171 mm
Four-wheel drive (4WD) versions: 201 mm
Trailhawk versions with four wheel drive (4WD LOW): 225 mm
"Approach angle" (reference B )
The approach angle is determined by the horizontal line of the road surface and by the tangent line passing between the front wheel
and the most projecting low point of the car.

The wider the angle, the lower the chance to hit an obstacle with the body or chassis, climbing a steep slope or overcoming an
obstacle.
Front wheel drive (FWD) versions: 17.9°
Four-wheel drive (4WD) versions: 21°
Trailhawk versions with four wheel drive (4WD LOW): 30.5°
"Departure angle" (reference C)
The departure angle is determined by the same lines of the "Approach angle", and refers to the rear part of the car.
Front wheel drive (FWD) versions: 29.7°
Four-wheel drive (4WD) versions: 32.1°
Trailhawk versions with four wheel drive (4WD LOW): 34.3°
"Breakover angle" (reference D)
The value of the "Breakover angle" is linked to the ground clearance of the car and indicates the attitude of the car to overcome a
wedge, more or less steep, preventing the car from resting on the ground with the body or chassis after touching the wedge with its
lowest and most projecting parts (usually the underbody), because this would highly reduce wheel grip.
The wheels, without a suitable grip to the ground, will not have sufficient hold to move the car, and will surge.
The higher the ground clearance, the wider the breakover angle. Always bear in mind that the higher the ground clearance, the lower
the stability, due to a higher centre of gravity which reduces the side rollover angle.
Front wheel drive (FWD) versions: 21.2°
Four-wheel drive (4WD) versions: 24°
Trailhawk versions with four wheel drive (4WD LOW): 25.7°
