WHAT IS NOT COVERED
DAMAGE FROM MISUSE OR ACCIDENT
The warranties in this booklet do not cover repairs required due to fire, accidents, abuse, negligence,
objects striking your vehicle, carrying corrosive materials (such as chemicals, acids and fertilizers),
misuse (such as driving over curbs, overloading, spinning wheels, etc.), racing or participating in a
racing event, improper disconnection of components, modifying the exhaust system, tampering or
making adjustments which do not comply with Chrysler specifications.
Disconnecting, tampering with or changing the reading of the odometer will void your warranties.

or repairs required due to airborne fallout, acid rain, chemicals, tree sap, insects, bird or insect
droppings, salt, sand, gravel, road hazards, hail, windstorms, lightning, floods or any other event of
nature.
Road salt, car washes, scuffs and scratches, and everyday abrasion from sand and dirt can affect the
appearance of a vehicle’s wheels (steel, chrome and aluminum) and other undercarriage parts. Some
surface corrosion with use is normal; it is not a defect and is not covered by any warranty.

changes, general lubrication, tire rotation, engine tune-ups and replacing spark plugs. Required
maintenance services are described in detail in your Owner’s Manual and herein. The warranties also

INTRODUCTIONThe oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance. Based on engine operation condition the oil change indicator message will illuminate, this
means that service is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the
next 800 km. The oil change indicator message will not monitor the time since the last oil change. Change
your vehicles oil if it has been 6 months since your last oil change even if the oil change indicator message
is NOT illuminated. Change your engine oil more often if you drive your vehicle off-road for an extended
period of time.Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 13,000 km or 6 months,
whichever comes first.Your dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change. If this scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your dealer the
message can be reset by referring to the steps described in the Owner’s Manual.
The performance of all scheduled service work is required to maintain your vehicle in good operating
condition. Chrysler Canada Inc. reserves the right to deny warranty coverage if the vehicle has not
been properly maintained. While we do not insist that such work be performed by factory authorized
retailers, we strongly recommend that an authorized Chrysler, Jeepor Dodge Retailer perform this
work.
AT EACH STOP FOR FUEL
•Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the
oil level while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add
oil only when the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
•Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.
ONCE A MONTH
•Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.
•Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
•Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, power steering and transmission
and add as needed.
•Check all lights and other electrical items for correct operation.
•Check and clean wiper blades. Replace if required.
AT EACH OIL CHANGE
•Change the engine oil filter.
•Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
VISUAL INSPECTIONS —
INSPECT FOR SIGNS OF COMPONENT DETERIORATION AND PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
MAINTENANCEScheduled maintenance must be completed to provide the best vehicle
performance and reliability. The limited warranties in the warranty booklet DO NOT COVER
repairs required due to improper maintenance. We strongly suggest you keep track of scheduled
maintenance and keep receipts or other documents. Use only recommended MoparLubricants
and genuine MoparParts. In the event that a condition arises between maintenance intervals,
please contact your retailer. AVOID PROLONGED PERIODS OF IDLING.
