Lift the car on a ramp, remove the wheels by unscrewing the bolts. The bolt for the caliper support is covered, so, as shown in the video, remove the upper plastic cover with a flat screwdriver and then unscrew it (8 mm spanner).

While freeing the disc from the caliper support, a 12 mm bolt will also be released, remove that as well (do not detach the calipers from the car). Now unscrew the bolts that secure the disc to the hub and, finally, you can slide it off. Clean the hub with a wire brush and fit the new disc in the correct orientation.

Screw in the pins, refit the caliper support, and tighten all previously removed bolts.

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.
