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 on
board 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!
IMPORTANT
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 motor vehicles 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 the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Versions with manual transmission (petrol engines): make sure that the electric handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress the
clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release the starter switch as soon as the engine has started. On
versions with electronic key, the engine is started by pressing the ignition device button.
Versions with manual transmission (Diesel engines): make sure that the parking electric 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. Turn the
starter switch to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts. On versions with electronic key, the engine is started by pressing the ignition
device button.
Versions with automatic transmission: make sure that the electric 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 car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
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 car, 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 car's electric system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and
low running costs for a long time to come.

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 pay attention to all the warnings shown here.
ROLLOVER WARNING
The risk of rollover for off-road cars is remarkably higher than for any other type of car. 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 a better performance to be reached in a wide range of
off-road applications. Anyway, a dangerous driving style can increase the risk of losing control of the vehicle.
The car 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.
1J0A2300C

The main cause for severe or fatal injuries is failing to wear driver and passenger seat belts. In the event of a rollover, 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 owner 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 car and/or to the buyer and/or to third parties deriving from the removal, modification or alteration of the security
devices performed by the owner or user of the car.
VEHICLE CHANGES/ALTERATIONS
WARNING Any change or alteration of the car 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 specified as appropriate 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 car. 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 in any case 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 car, 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.
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.

17
the warranty and also result in non-
compliance of the car with type-approval
requirements.
7) Never extract the mechanical key while
the car is moving. The steering wheel will
automatically lock as soon as it is turned.
This holds true for cars being towed as
well.
SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® system prevents
unauthorised use of the car preventing to
start the engine.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that the
doors of the car are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition device is set 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 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, bring
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
