Video tutorial

In this video, we see how it is possible to open the rear hatch of a Jeep Renegade even with the remote control battery discharged: we have to enter from the rear seats, lower the backrest and then insert it into the trunk, which we will have emptied.

We will thus access the lock from the inside of the hatch, and using a small screwdriver, we will release the yellow latch on the left of the lock and always using the edge of the screwdriver, we enter the slot and push back the lever inside.

This way the hatch will open.

How to reset the Service light on a 2019 Jeep Renegade?

The Service light, depicted as a yellow spanner, illuminates as scheduled to remind the driver that it is time for scheduled maintenance. This means that the set mileage has been reached, or the expected time has passed. The procedure involves turning on the instrument cluster, pressing the accelerator three times, and then turning off the ignition. After this, keep the brake pressed, turn the ignition back on, and then turn it off again. Upon the next ignition, you will notice that the light has been reset.
