Jeep Renegade (2018 year). Instruction

Important

Apply the plate in a highly visible point
of the vehicle, near the mounting pipe or
inside the luggage compartment.
To ensure correct operation of the
system, periodically remove all deposits
of dirt which may have accumulated on
the ball head bar and from the mounting
pipe. The lock must only be treated with
graphite.
Periodically lubricate the joints, the
sliding surfaces and the balls with grease
without resin or oil. Lubrication is also a
further corrosion protection.
if the vehicle is washed with
high-pressure jets, the ball head bar
must be removed and the dedicated plug
fitted. The ball head bar must never be
treated with high-pressure jets.
Two keys are supplied together with the
removable ball tow bar. Note down the
four-digit key number and keep it in a
safe place. This number is to be used for
ordering any duplicate keys that may be
required.

IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Jeep Dealership.

WARNING

148) The ABS with which the car is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
149) Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake.
The trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the car’s hydraulic system.

CHANGING A BULB

150) 151) 152) 153)

76)

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Before replacing a bulb check the

contacts for oxidation;

replace blown bulbs with others of the

same type and power;

after replacing a headlight bulb,

always check its alignment;

when a light is not working, check

that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
“If a fuse blows” in this chapter.

IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and
humidity between the inside and the
outside of the glass which does not
indicate a fault and does not
compromise the normal operation of
lighting devices. The mist disappears
quickly when the lights are turned on,
starting from the centre of the diffuser,
extending progressively towards the
edges.

WARNING

150) Before replacing the bulb, wait for
the exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER
OF SCALDING!
151) Modifications or repairs to the
electric system that are not carried out
properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the risk of
fire.
152) Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.

IMPORTANT

76) Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching
the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb
dry.

159

not interfere with traffic and lets you
safely replace them (see the description in
the “Replacement” paragraph). Also
ensure that the engine is cold, to prevent
the risk of burns.
