2017 RENEGADE QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

Electric Park Brake (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with a new Electric
Park Brake System (EPB) that offers greater
convenience. The EPB switch is located in the
center console.
To apply the park brake manually, pull up on the
switch momentarily. The BRAKE warning lamp
in the instrument cluster and an indicator on
the switch will illuminate.
To release the park brake manually, the ignition
switch must be in RUN. Then put your foot on
the brake pedal and push the park brake switch
down momentarily. Once the park brake is fully
disengaged, the BRAKE warning lamp and the
switch indicator will extinguish.
The park brake can also be automatically re-
leased. With the engine running and the trans-
mission in gear, release the brake pedal and
depress the throttle pedal. For safety reasons,
your seat belt must also be fastened.
NOTE:
• You may hear a slight whirring sound from
the back of the vehicle while the parking
brake engages or disengages.
• If your foot is on the brake pedal while you
are engaging or disengaging the parking
brake, you may notice a small amount of
brake pedal movement.
• The new Auto Park Brake feature can be
used to apply the park brake automatically
every time you park the vehicle. Auto Park
Brake can be enabled and disabled in the
Settings menu in Uconnect.
• The parking brake can be engaged even
when the ignition is OFF, however, it can only
be disengaged when the ignition is in the
RUN mode.
• Safehold is a new feature that will automati-
cally apply the park brake under certain
conditions. The EPB monitors the status of
the driver’s seat belt, driver’s door and pedal
positions to determine if the driver may have
exited while the vehicle is still capable of
moving and will then automatically apply the
park brake to prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing.
• The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the
EPB switch is held for longer than 20 sec-
onds in either the released or applied posi-
tion. The light will extinguish upon releasing
the switch.
Park Brake Switch
STARTING AND OPERATING

Auto Park Brake
The EPB can be programmed to be applied
automatically whenever the vehicle speed is
below 1.9 mph (3 km/h) and the automatic
transmission is placed in PARK, or with a
manual transmission, whenever the ignition is
in the OFF mode. Auto Park Brake is enabled
and disabled by customer selection through the
Customer Programmable Features section of
the Uconnect Settings.
Any single Auto Park Brake application can be
bypassed by pushing the EPB switch to the
release position while the transmission is
placed in PARK (automatic transmission) and
the ignition is in the RUN mode. In some cases,
like Automatic or Dual clutch transmission,
when the ignition is in the OFF mode EPB can
automatically apply even if it has been previ-
ously disabled

Selec-Terrain
Selec-Terrain combines the capabilities of the
vehicle control systems, along with driver input,
to provide the best performance for all terrains.
Mode Selection Guide
Rotate the Selec-Terrain knob to select the
desired mode.
•AUTO: This four-wheel drive operation is a
continuous operation, is fully automatic and
can be used on and off road. This mode
balances traction to ensure maneuverability
and acceleration improvement compared to
a vehicle with two wheel drive. This mode
also reduces fuel consumption, since it al-
lows the disconnect of the drive shaft where
conditions permit.
Selec-Terrain Switch
Selec-Terrain Switch (Trailhawk)

•SNOW: This mode allows you to have greater
stability under conditions of bad weather.
It's used on and off road and on surfaces
with poor traction, such as roads covered
with snow. When in SNOW mode (depending
on certain operating conditions), the trans-
mission will use second gear (rather than
first gear) during launches, to minimize
wheel slippage, except for in 4–Low (Trail-
hawk models only).
•SAND: For off-road driving or use on surfaces
with poor traction, such as sandy bottoms.
The transmission is set to provide maximum
traction. This mode allows more wheel spin
and higher shift points to help motor through
loose areas.
•MUD: For off-road driving or use on surfaces
with poor traction, such as roads covered by
mud or wet grass.
•ROCK (Trailhawk only): This mode is only
available in 4WD LOW range. The device
sets the vehicle to maximize traction and
allow the highest steering capacity for off-
road surfaces. This mode gives you the maxi-
mum performance off-road. Use for low
speed obstacles such as large rocks, deep
ruts, etc.
NOTE:
• Rock mode is only available on the vehicles
equipped with the Trailhawk package.
• Activate the Hill Descent Control or Selec
Speed Control for steep downhill control.
