Tpms (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System); Tpms Check Message; Tpms Deactivation - Jeep Renegade Owner's Handbook Manual

The system has been designed for
road use only. If the vehicle is driven
off-road, the system must be
deactivated, to avoid unnecessary
warnings. By selecting the 4WD LOW
mode, the system is automatically
deactivated. Automatic deactivation is
signalled by the dedicated warning
light/icon switching on in the instrument
panel.
TPMS (Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
(where provided)
69) 70) 71) 72) 73) 74) 75) 32)
The TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System) signals possible insufficient tyre
pressure according to the cold pressure
indicated in chapter "Technical
specifications".
The system comprises a
radio-frequency transmitter sensor fitted
to each wheel (on the rim inside the
tyre), which is able to send information
on the inflation pressure of each tyre to
the control unit.
The system automatically updates and
warning light switches off each time
the system receives the updated
inflation pressures. The vehicle might
need to be driven at a speed higher
than about 25 km/h up to 20 minutes
for the TPMS to receive this
information.
The TPMS is designed for original tyres
and wheels. Pressure and alarms
signalled by the TPMS are defined
according to the size of the tyres fitted
on the vehicle. Using spare wheels of a
size, type and/or design different from
the original ones may cause an irregular
operation of the system and damage
the sensors. Aftermarket fitted wheels
may damage the sensors. Using
aftermarket tyre sealants may damage
the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
sensor. If aftermarket tyre sealant is
used it is recommended to go to a
Jeep Dealership to have the sensors
checked. After tyre pressure check and
adjustment, always refit the valve plug
to prevent humidity and dirt from
entering, these may damage the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System sensor.

TPMS check message

If a system failure is present, the
warning light flashes for about 75
seconds and then stays on constantly.
An acoustic signal is also issued.

TPMS deactivation

The TPMS can be deactivated by
replacing the wheels equipped with
TPMS with others that are not (e.g.
upon replacement of the wheel
assemblies in winter). Then drive for at
least 20 minutes at a speed higher than
about 25 km/h. The TPMS will emit an
acoustic warning, the warning light
will flash for about 75 seconds, then will
stay on constantly and the instrument
panel will display the "TPMS check"
message with some dashes (– –)
instead of the pressure values.
At the next engine start, the system will
not emit any acoustic signal and the
display will not show the message
"TPMS check", but the dashes (– –) will
be still displayed instead of the pressure
value.
WARNING
64) The system is an aid for vehicle driving,
it DOES NOT warn the driver about
incoming vehicles outside of the detection
areas. The driver must always maintain a
sufficient level of attention to the traffic and
road conditions and for controlling the
trajectory of the vehicle.
65) The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while driving.
The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
66) If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
