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 warning light to switch off. Bring 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.

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.
1J0A2300C

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.
