Dear Customer,

We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Jeep. We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way. This

vehicle is intended for daily use as well as for specific uses, so even routes and uses not suitable for traditional vehicles on the market can be tackled. Ride and handling capabilities are different from most other vehicles, both on and off road; we thus recommend you to spend all the time necessary to know the vehicle dynamics.

Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best performance from the technical features of your Jeep.

You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and above all with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different road surfaces.

This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and maintenance of your Jeep over time.

After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains onboard the vehicle should it be sold.

In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Jeep offers to its customers, the Warranty Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.

We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at Jeep.

Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

WARNING

This Owner Handbook describes all Jeep Renegade versions. Options, equipment dedicated to specific Markets or versions are not explicitly indicated in the text: as a consequence, you should only consider the information which is related to the trim level, engine and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the production of the model, outside the specific request of options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the wording (where provided).

All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA Italy S.p.A. aims at a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason it reserves the right to make changes to the model described for technical and/or commercial reasons.

For further information, contact a Jeep Dealership.

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

Versions with manual gearbox (petrol 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 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 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.

warning light to switch off. Bring the

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Jeep Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the vehicle is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs unchanged in time.

SYMBOLS

Some car components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this component. See below for a brief description of each symbol summarising the contents herein. Always take great care to all warnings herein.

J0A2300C

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” DEVICES

The 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.

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.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle. There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which could

cause accidents or injuries. Therefore all WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS must always be carefully followed. WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:

personal safety;

vehicle safety;

environmental protection.

NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number. That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

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 transmission

versions, to remove the key smoothly, we advise you to position the gear shift to P, release the brake in safe conditions and then turn off the engine.

4) 5)

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®

The Sentry 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, the Sentry Key® system identifies

the code transmitted by the key. If the code is recognised as valid, the Sentry Key® system enables engine starting.

When the ignition device is brought back to STOP, the Sentry 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 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, bring

icon is

the 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.

ALARM

Activation of the alarm triggers the acoustic warning and the direction indicators.

IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to meet requirements in various countries.

SWITCHING ON THE ALARM
