Cooling System
Engine Coolant Checks
Check the engine coolant (antifreeze) protec-
tion every 12 months (before the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable). If the
engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty, the
system should be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming
to MS.90032) by an authorized dealer.
Check the front of the A/C condenser for any
accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty,
clean by gently spraying water from a garden
hose vertically down the face of the
condenser.
Check the engine cooling system hoses for
brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, and
tightness of the connection at the coolant
recovery bottle and radiator. Inspect the
entire system for leaks. DO NOT REMOVE
THE COOLANT PRESSURE CAP WHEN THE
COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT.
Adding Washer Fluid
The windshield and rear window washers
share the same fluid reservoir. The fluid
reservoir is located in the front of the engine
compartment. Be sure to check the fluid
level in the reservoir at regular intervals. Fill
the reservoir with windshield washer solvent
(not radiator antifreeze) and operate the
system for a few seconds to flush out the
residual water.
When refilling the washer fluid reservoir,
take some washer fluid and apply it to a cloth
or towel and wipe clean the wiper blades,
this will help blade performance.To prevent freeze-up of your windshield
washer system in cold weather, select a solu
-
tion or mixture that meets or exceeds the
temperature range of your climate. This
rating information can be found on most
washer fluid containers.
Brake System
In order to ensure brake system perfor -
mance, all brake system components should
be inspected periodically. Refer to the
“Maintenance Plan” in this section for the
proper maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear
steam coming from under the hood, do
not open the hood until the radiator has
had time to cool. Never open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or
coolant bottle is hot.
Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry
away from the radiator cooling fan when
the hood is raised. The fan starts auto-
matically and may start at any time,
whether the engine is running or not.
When working near the radiator cooling
fan, turn the ignition to the OFF mode.
The fan is temperature controlled and
can start at any time the ignition is in the
ON mode.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield washer
solvents are flammable. They could ignite
and burn you. Care must be exercised
when filling or working around the washer
solution.
CAUTION!
Do not travel with the windshield washer
fluid reservoir empty: the windshield
washer is essential for improving visibility.

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Engine
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil that has been thoroughly developed and tested in order to meet the requirements of the Scheduled
Servicing Plan. Constant use of the prescribed lubricants guarantees the fuel consumption and emission specifications. Lubricant quality is
crucial for engine operation and duration. If lubricants conforming to the specific request are not available, products that meet the indicated
specifications can be used to top up, in this case optimal performance of the engine is not guaranteed.
ComponentFluid, Lubricant, or Genuine Part
Engine Coolant
We recommend you use PARAFLU UP Formula OAT (Organic Additive
Technology) or equivalent meeting the requirements of FCA Material
Standard MS.90032
Engine Oil – (2.0L Gasoline Engine) We recommend you use SELENIA K POWER PLUS, or equivalent,
API SN PLUS Certified SAE 5W-30 Full Synthetic Engine Oil,
meeting the requirements of FCA Material Standard MS-13340. If
SN PLUS or equivalent oil is unavailable then use SELENIA
DIGITEK PE, or equivalent, SAE 0W-30 ACEA C2/API SN Full
Synthetic Engine Oil, meeting the requirement of FCA Material
Standard 9.55535-GS1.
CAUTION!
Failure to use the recommended SN PLUS or equivalent oil can cause
engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty.
Engine Oil – (2.4L Gasoline Engine) We recommend you use SELENIA K POWER LUS, or equivalent
0W-20 Engine Oil, meeting the requirements of FCA Material
Standard 9.55535-CR1 or MS-6395. Refer to your engine oil filler
cap for correct SAE grade.

CAUTION!
Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze)
other than specified Organic Additive
Technology (OAT) engine coolant (anti-
freeze), may result in engine damage
and may decrease corrosion protection.
Organic Additive Technology (OAT)
engine coolant is different and should
not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Addi -
tive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant
(antifreeze) or any “globally compatible”
coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine
coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into
the cooling system in an emergency, the
cooling system will need to be drained,
flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT
coolant (conforming to MS.90032), by
an authorized dealer as soon as possible.Do not use water alone or alcohol-based
engine coolant (antifreeze) products. Do
not use additional rust inhibitors or anti -
rust products, as they may not be
compatible with the radiator engine
coolant and may plug the radiator.
This vehicle has not been designed for
use with propylene glycol-based engine
coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene
glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze)
is not recommended.
The use of products with different spec-
ifications than those indicated above
could cause damage to the engine that is
not covered by the warranty.
CAUTION! (Continued)
Use AdBlue® only according to DIN 70
070 and ISO 22241-1. Other fluids may
cause damage to the system: also
exhaust emissions would no longer
comply with the law.
The distribution companies are respon -
sible for the compliance of their product.
Observe the precautions of storage and
servicing, in order to preserve the initial
qualities. The manufacturer of the
vehicle does not recognize any guarantee
in case of malfunctions and damage
caused to the vehicle due to the use of
AdBlue® not in accordance with regula-
tions.
CAUTION! (Continued)
