steering wheel JEEP RENEGADE 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as regarding
an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be properly specified in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not
correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle.
In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that
on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect
to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key for
getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is anyway a textual indication of the current chapter at
the side of each even page.

MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are available. This state can be
entered by pressing the ignition device
button once, without pressing the brake
pedal (versions with automatic
transmission) or the clutch pedal
(versions with manual gearbox);
AVV: engine starting.
Starting the engine (with electronic key
battery flat): 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 using the
electronic key.
Stopping the engine (with electronic key
battery flat): 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.
NOTE The ignition device does NOT
activate if the electronic key is inside the
boot and this is open.
NOTE With the ignition device at MAR, if
30 minutes pass with the vehicle
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.
For more information on the engine
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.
Deactivation
Versions with mechanical key: move the
wheel lightly, turn the key to MAR
position.
Versions with electronic key: the steering
lock is removed when the starter button
is pressed and the electronic key is
recognised.
WARNING On automatic transmissionversions, to remove the key smoothly, we

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.

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.

separate memories, called "Trip A" and
"Trip B", where the vehicle's "complete
missions" (journeys) are recorded in a
reciprocally independent manner.
“Trip A”allows the following values to be
displayed: "Distance travelled A",
"Average consumption A", "Journey time
(driving time) A".
“Trip B”allows the following values to be
displayed: "Distance travelled B",
"Average consumption B", "Journey time
(driving time) B". The “Trip B” function
may be excluded.
Both memories can be reset: (reset - start
of a new journey).
