FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
DIESEL ENGINE
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable
supplier. If the outside temperature is very
low, the diesel fuel thickens due to the
formation of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems different
types of fuel are distributed according to the
season: Summer type, Winter type and arctic
type (cold/mountain areas). If fueling with
diesel fuel whose features are not suitable
for the temperature of use, it is advisable to
mix in a suitable additive with the fuel. With
the proportions shown on the container, pour
the additive in the tank before fueling.
When using or parking the vehicle for a long
time in the mountains or cold areas, it is
advisable to refuel using locally available
fuel. In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over half full.

This vehicle must only use premium diesel fuel
that meets the requirements of EN 590. Biodiesel
blends up to 7% that meet EN 590 may also be
used.
Diesel fuel is seldom completely free of
water. To prevent fuel system trouble, drain
the accumulated water from the fuel/water
separator using the provided fuel/water
separator drain. If you buy good quality fuel
and follow the cold weather advice above,
fuel conditioners should not be required in
your vehicle. If available in your area, a high
cetane “premium” diesel fuel may offer
improved cold-starting and warm-up perfor
-
mance.
Fuel Icon Identification Compliant To
EN16942
The following symbols make it easier to
recognize the correct type of fuel to be used
on your vehicle. Before proceeding with the
supply, check the symbols placed inside the
fuel filler flap (if present) and compare them
with the symbol on the fuel pump (if
present).
WARNING!
Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a
fuel-blending agent. They can be unstable
under certain conditions and hazardous or
explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.
CAUTION!
The manufacturer requires that you must
fuel this vehicle with Ultra Low Sulfur
Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm Sulfur
maximum) and prohibits the use of Low
Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel.

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

NOTE:
If lubricants compliant with the required specifications are not
available, products that comply with the minimum required char-
acteristics can be used for topping off; in this case optimal perfor -
mance of the engine is not guaranteed.
The use of products with specifications other than those indicated
above could cause damage to the engine not covered by the
warranty.

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.

FUEL CONSUMPTION AND
CO
2 EMISSIONS

The fuel consumption and CO2 emission
figures declared by the manufacturer are
determined on the basis of the type-approval
tests laid down by the applicable standards in
the country where the vehicle is registered.

The type of route, traffic conditions, weather
conditions, driving style, general condition of
the vehicle, trim level/equipment/ accesso -
ries, use of the climate control system,
vehicle load, presence of roof racks and other
situations that adversely affect the aerody -
namics or wind resistance lead to different
fuel consumption values than those
measured. The fuel consumption will only become more
regular after driving the first 1,864 miles
(3,000 km).
To find the specific fuel consumption and
CO
2 emission figures for this vehicle, please
refer to the data in the Certificate of Confor -
mity (if equipped), and the related documen -
tation that accompanies the vehicle (if
equipped).

UCONNECT SYSTEMS
For detailed information about your Ucon-
nect system, refer to your Uconnect Owner’s
Manual Supplement.
NOTE:
Uconnect screen images are for illustration
purposes only and may not reflect exact soft -
ware for your vehicle.
CYBERSECURITY
Your vehicle may be a connected vehicle and
may be equipped with both wired and wire -
less networks. These networks allow your
vehicle to send and receive information. This
information allows systems and features in
your vehicle to function properly.
Your vehicle may be equipped with certain
security features to reduce the risk of unau -
thorized and unlawful access to vehicle
systems and wireless communications.
Vehicle software technology continues to
evolve over time and FCA, working with its
suppliers, evaluates and takes appropriate
steps as needed. Similar to a computer or
other devices, your vehicle may require soft -ware updates to improve the usability and
performance of your systems or to reduce the
potential risk of unauthorized and unlawful
access to your vehicle systems.
The risk of unauthorized and unlawful access
to your vehicle systems may still exist, even
if the most recent version of vehicle software
(such as Uconnect software) is installed.
NOTE:
FCA or your dealer may contact you
directly regarding software updates.
To help further improve vehicle security
and minimize the potential risk of a secu
-
rity breach, vehicle owners should:
Only connect and use trusted media devices (e.g. personal mobile phones,
USBs, CDs).
WARNING!
It is not possible to know or to predict all
of the possible outcomes if your vehicle’s
systems are breached. It may be possible
that vehicle systems, including safety
related systems, could be impaired or a
loss of vehicle control could occur that
may result in an accident involving
serious injury or death.
ONLY insert media (e.g., USB, SD card,
or CD) into your vehicle if it came from a
trusted source. Media of unknown origin
could possibly contain malicious soft -
ware, and if installed in your vehicle, it
may increase the possibility for vehicle
systems to be breached.

As always, if you experience unusual
vehicle behavior, take your vehicle to your
nearest authorized dealer immediately.
