2018 RENEGADE QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

Electric Park Brake (EPB)Your vehicle is equipped with a new ElectricPark Brake System (EPB) that offers greaterconvenience. The EPB switch is located in thecenter console.

To apply the park brake manually, pull up on theswitch momentarily. The BRAKE warning lampin the instrument cluster and an indicator onthe switch will illuminate.

To release the park brake manually, the ignitionswitch must be in RUN. Then put your foot onthe brake pedal and push the park brake switchdown momentarily. Once the park brake is fullydisengaged, the BRAKE warning lamp and theswitch 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 anddepress the throttle pedal. For safety reasons,your seat belt must also be fastened.

NOTE:

• You may hear a slight whirring sound fromthe back of the vehicle while the parkingbrake engages or disengages.

• If your foot is on the brake pedal while youare engaging or disengaging the parkingbrake, you may notice a small amount ofbrake pedal movement.

• The new Auto Park Brake feature can beused to apply the park brake automaticallyevery time you park the vehicle. Auto ParkBrake can be enabled and disabled in theSettings menu in Uconnect.

• The parking brake can be engaged evenwhen the ignition is OFF, however, it can onlybe disengaged when the ignition is in theRUN mode.

• Safehold is a new feature that will automati-cally apply the park brake under certainconditions. The EPB monitors the status ofthe driver’s seat belt, driver’s door and pedalpositions to determine if the driver may haveexited while the vehicle is still capable ofmoving and will then automatically apply thepark brake to prevent the vehicle fromrolling.

• The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if theEPB switch is held for longer than 20 sec-onds in either the released or applied posi-tion. The light will extinguish upon releasingthe switch.

Auto Park Brake

The EPB can be programmed to be appliedautomatically whenever the vehicle speed isbelow 1.9 mph (3 km/h) and the automatictransmission is placed in PARK, or with amanual transmission, whenever the ignition is

In some cases,like Automatic or Dual clutch transmission,when the ignition is in the OFF mode EPB canautomatically apply even if it has been previ-ously disabled

• SNOW: This mode allows you to have greaterstability under conditions of bad weather.It's used on and off road and on surfaceswith poor traction, such as roads coveredwith snow. When in SNOW mode (dependingon certain operating conditions), the trans-mission will use second gear (rather thanfirst gear) during launches, to minimizewheel slippage, except for in 4–Low (Trail-hawk models only).

• SAND: For off-road driving or use on surfaceswith poor traction, such as sandy bottoms.The transmission is set to provide maximumtraction. This mode allows more wheel spinand higher shift points to help motor throughloose areas.

• MUD: For off-road driving or use on surfaceswith poor traction, such as roads covered bymud or wet grass.

• ROCK (Trailhawk only): This mode is onlyavailable in 4WD LOW range. The devicesets the vehicle to maximize traction andallow the highest steering capacity for off-road surfaces. This mode gives you the maxi-mum performance off-road. Use for lowspeed obstacles such as large rocks, deepruts, etc.

NOTE:

• Rock mode is only available on the vehiclesequipped with the Trailhawk package.

• Activate the Hill Descent Control or SelecSpeed Control for steep downhill control.
