Lift the vehicle with a jack and apply axle stands to securely support it during the repair. Remove the front wheel (loosen the bolts before lifting), unscrew the bolts securing the brake caliper bracket, and remove the disc; separate the brake caliper from the bracket by removing the pads and retract the caliper piston using a C-clamp.

Fit the new disc after cleaning it of any oil residue, reassemble the bracket with the new pads, and then the brake caliper; repeat the process on the other wheel. Pay attention during the initial braking.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on the Jeep Renegade?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Jeep Renegade, inflate the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure: this value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver’s door pillar. Once the tyres are properly inflated, navigate through the menu that appears on the instrument cluster until you find the tyre pressure option. At this point, press and hold the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel to make the warning light disappear.
