Jeep Renegade Engine Oil Life Reset 2015-2016-2017-2018
Renegade 2015-2017
Built in Italy, the Renegade is Jeep's first subcompact SUV. It offers traditional Jeep features such as some off-road ability and open-air driving via its large, removable sunroofs. It offers two four-cylinder engines: a 1.4-liter turbo and a 2.4-liter. Most versions will come with a nine-speed automatic, but some front-wheel-drive models can get a six-speed manual. An off-road-worthy Trailhawk tops the range. Optional safety features include forward-collision and lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross path detection, and a backup camera. Chrysler's Uconnect infotainment system is available.
Renegade 2015-2018
Built in Italy, the subcompact Renegade looks enticingly cute but is bogged down by a nine-speed automatic that's neither smooth nor responsive. Fuel economy with the 2.4-liter was 24 mpg overall. Handling is uninspiring, and the ride is unremarkable. Idle vibration and an overly touchy brake pedal also mar the driving experience. The Trailhawk version offers a token amount of off-road capability. Wrangler-like open-air driving is possible with the optional removable sunroofs. Optional safety features include forward-collision and lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-path detection. Chrysler's easy-to-use Uconnect infotainment system is available.
Oil Change Due
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indi- cator system. The “Oil Change Due” message will display in the instrument cluster display for five seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate, dependent upon your personal driving style. Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition is cycled to the ON or RUN position. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the following procedure.
1. Without pushing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle the ignition to the ON/ RUN position (do not start the engine).
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Without pushing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to return the ignition to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. See your authorized dealer to have the oil life reset.
