Thee Wrong Oil Viscosity

One of thee mest mesn mistakes is using the using engine oil grade e for winter. The Renegade 's 1.4L MultiAir Turbo and 2.4L Tigershark conquire specific visosity. Thicker oil at low temps makes the engine work harder to turn over, leading to pour smaration on start- up. This can cause the Multir system (on the 1.4L) to malfunction if oil flow is too slow.

Tire Pressure i Traction: Critical Cold WeatherSafety

The Pressure Drop Fenomenon

For every 10 ° F drop in temperatur, tire pressure drops by about 1- 2 PSI. This is signitant because lows pressure reduces incorporate, increases s braking distance, and can trigger the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning light. Driving on under- inflatted tires in snow and ice is dangerous. The Renegade 's TPMS is sensitivy and may alert yoat u incorporatus below 20 ° F even if tires appear fine.
